The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in Hong Kong (CILTHK) hosts the annual Student Day with missions to raise young people’s concern about the current issues of logistics and transport in Hong Kong, and to encourage them to develop their future career in related industries. This year, the CILTHK, collaborating with The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), held the Student Day on 2 Mar 2019 at CUHK. Seven teams formed by students from tertiary institutions in Hong Kong and Macau took part in this competition. Participants were required to analyse and formulate solutions to problems relating to transport and logistics under time constraints.

A five-member team, consisting of Chan Siu Long, Poon Wai Sze, Luk Hoi Yan, Chan Chin Ki and Kwok Tin Yi, was coached and supervised by Dr Eugene Wong. Students also received trainings from professors of the Department of Supply Chain and Information Management (SCM). They represented HSUHK’s BBA-SCM programme and gave an excellent presentation with impressive analyses on the topic entitled “Is it a natural tendency for e-commerce (online retailer) to provide in-house logistics service”. The team was finally awarded the First Runner-up in the competition.
