開放對話專家在俄羅斯國家中心濱海分部討論新世界貿易和經濟互聯互通架構

Primorsky Krai, Russia ,2025年9月6日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 9月5日,由俄羅斯國家中心組織的"互聯互通投資"主題開放對話專家會議在濱海邊疆區俄羅斯國家中心分部舉行。來自世界各國的專家們參與了"新現實中貿易和互聯互通的轉型"討論。此次會議是2025年4月在俄羅斯國家中心舉行的開放對話"世界的未來:全球增長新平臺"的延續。開放對話會議主持人、俄羅斯聯邦總統辦公廳副主任馬克沁-奧列什金在開場討論中指出,金磚國家和全球南方國家如今在世界貿易新解決方案中發揮著主導作用。這位副主任表示,新的大趨勢是可持續且不可逆轉的。舊架構中的機構正變得無關緊要。"我們確實已經擁有一切:新的全球經濟現實和技術,以形成新的世界貿易架構。它不是取代舊機構和貿易路線,而是補充它們。這是一個重要的觀察,因為我們幾天前剛從中國返回,那裡舉行了具有里程碑意義的上合組織峰會。這次活動的主基調,實際上是唯一的基調,就是積極發展的基調,"馬克沁-奧列什金強調說。TALAP應用研究中心首席經濟學家拉希姆-奧沙克巴耶夫認為,對俄羅斯施加的巨大制裁刺激了創新,並培養了抗脆弱性這一重要品質。"結果是顯而易見的,它不僅讓外部觀察者驚訝,甚至讓俄羅斯經濟學家也感到驚訝--俄羅斯經濟通過經濟政策、公共管理和私人倡議的結合,能夠展現出如此強大的韌性,"拉希姆-奧沙克巴耶夫說。俄羅斯聯邦總統辦公廳副主任馬克沁-奧列什金也注意到了制裁和貿易限制的積極影響。"我認為,對制裁和貿易限制這種積極有利影響的認識,是中國和印度等大型經濟體現在開始感受到的。我認為,隨著時間的推移,全球多數國家中的每個國家都會要求對其實施制裁,看到這個過程帶來的積極效果,"他說。北京恒策投資諮詢有限公司(中國)創始人簡連指出了另一個重要趨勢--向本國貨幣的轉變。"存在著巨大的人力資源和勞動力市場。我們中國計畫從衣索比亞吸引勞動力。我們現在正與俄羅斯合作,基於中國在技術發展方面的成就,努力實施這個專案。我們必須用盧布進行所有結算,這一點尤為重要,因為迄今為止,美元一直是衣索比亞的主要儲備貨幣。現在正在向本國貨幣過渡。因此,我們正在創造提高經濟效率的新條件,並通過和平手段實現這一目標,"簡連說。俄羅斯國家原子能公司物流總經理、遠東航運公司總經理彼得-伊萬諾夫認為,船隊在互聯互通問題中發揮著主導作用。"今天,談到國際貿易的發展和確保互聯互通,我們明白,正如彼得大帝所說,'誰擁有艦隊,誰就有兩隻手'。當許多控制著80%國際貿易的國際公司和聯盟離開俄羅斯,運費增長了10倍時,我們感受到了這一點,這打擊了互聯互通和國際貿易。因此,重視自己的船隊是國際貿易穩定的基礎。那些重視這一點的國家將始終有能力確保進出口溝通。我們現在也在走這條路,"彼得-伊萬諾夫指出。Social LinksTelegram: https://t.me/gowithRussiaVK: https://vk.com/gowithrussiaok.ru: https://ok.ru/gowithrussiaDZen: https://dzen.ru/gowithrussiaMedia contactBrand: Russia National CenterContact: Media teamEmail: pressa@russia.ruWebsite: https://russia.ru/ Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

CBL International Reports 1H 2025 Results Highlighting Strong Biofuel Growth, Reduced Net Loss, and Improved Gross Profit Margin

KualaLumpur, Sep 5, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – CBL International Limited (NASDAQ: BANL) (the “Company” or “CBL”), the listing vehicle of the Banle Group (“Banle” or “the Group”), a leading marine fuel logistics company in the Asia-Pacific region, has announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 on September 2, 2025.1H 2025 Financial and Operational Highlights- Revenue of $265.17 million, reflecting resilient performance in a volatile macro environment.- Sales volume increased by 9.8%, driven by network expansion, new customer acquisitions, and expansion toward the non-container liner and biofuel segments.- Gross profit margin increased to 1.02% in 1H2025, reflecting the Company's strategic approach to maintaining profitability while growing market share in a competitive environment.- Net loss narrowed by 38.8% year-on-year to $992,000, demonstrating improved cost control and operating efficiency.- Biofuel sales surged 154.7%, driven by accelerating adoption of sustainable marine fuels under IMO 2023 and EU FuelEU Maritime regulations.- Global network expanded to 65 ports, strengthening CBL’s role as a global one-stop marine fuel logistics platform.- Cash balance of $5.43 million and $50 million committed banking facilities provide strong financial flexibility to support growth and shareholder value.Financial Performance OverviewThe Company reported consolidated revenue of $265.17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing a 4.4% decrease from $277.23 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in the marine fuel price which was partially offset by the increase in the sales volume. The increase in sales volume was mainly driven by network expansion, new customer acquisitions, and expansion toward the non-container liner and biofuel segments. Furthermore, the Group’s network demonstrated the Group’s resilience to geopolitical impacts on the marine industry.Gross profit remained stable at $2.71 million with an increase in sales volume to cope with the challenging competition in the market, while gross profit margin increased from 0.98% in 1H2024 to 1.02% in 1H2025. This margin expansion reflects the Company's strategic approach to maintaining profitability while growing market share in a competitive environment.The Company reported a net loss of $992,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing a significant 38.8% improvement compared to a net loss of $1.62 million in the same period of 2024, primarily driven by disciplined cost management and operational efficiency initiatives that reduced operating expenses by 17% to $3.42 million from $4.12 million in 1H 2024.Cash and cash equivalents stood at $5.43 million as of June 30, 2025, supported by improved working capital management and expanded banking facilities of $50.0 million, providing enhanced financial flexibility for growth initiatives.Strategic Expansion and Operational ExcellenceCBL's operational expansion continued to be a key growth driver, with the Company's global service network reaching 65 ports by June 30, 2025, strategically positioned across Asia Pacific, Europe, Africa, and Central America. This expansion enabled CBL to effectively navigate geopolitical disruptions, particularly in the Red Sea region and the Middle East, along with the changes in global trade patterns due to the impact of U.S. tariffs policy, by capturing increased demand along alternative intra-Asia and Euro-Asia trade routes.Customer diversification reached a significant milestone, with non-container liner sales accounting for 36.9% of revenue, while sales concentration among the top five customers declined to 60.4% from 66.7% in 1H 2024. The Company continues to service nine of the world's top 12 container shipping lines, which contributed nearly 60% of global container fleet capacity.Additionally, biofuel sales demand was fueled by stricter environmental regulations, including IMO’s Carbon Intensity Indicator and the EU’s FuelEU Maritime, and surged 154.7% year-on-year in 1H2025, with volumes up 189.5%, reinforcing CBL’s forerunning position in sustainable marine fuels. The Company stayed ahead of this trend with the successful rollout of its B24 biofuel in China, Hong Kong, and Malaysia, followed by a 2025 launch in Singapore. The B24 blend, comprising 76% conventional fuel and 24% UCOME, delivers a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional marine fuels.Stricter Environmental Regulations and Industry ReshapingDespite the unpredictability of U.S. trade policy, oil prices, and geopolitical risks, CBL remains cautiously optimistic about the outlook as further uncertainties could impact our results of operations for a particular period. Regarding the ongoing instability in the Red Sea, where vessels were rerouted via the Cape of Good Hope, CBL targeted the increased demand from rerouted vessels, ensuring that our strategic supply chain could meet these demands, allowing us to maintain the stability of our offerings and capitalize on the opportunities created by these disruptions.The adoption of biofuels and other sustainable marine fuels is accelerating as stricter environmental regulations reshape the shipping industry. Consultant agency Exactitude Consultancy is projecting a 50.4% CAGR for the green marine fuel market from 2023 to 2030, as demand for biofuels is expected to climb sharply. Leveraging its early move into sustainable fuels, CBL is expanding its biofuel supply chain and exploring LNG and methanol, positioning itself to capture growth while helping customers meet tightening decarbonization targets across Asia Pacific, Europe, and other key markets.Management Commentary and Future OutlookDr. Teck Lim Chia, Chairman and CEO of CBL International Limited, stated, “Our first half results highlight significant strategic progress. Despite a challenging macro backdrop, we successfully expanded our global network, accelerated our biofuel transition with triple-digit growth, and narrowed our net loss by nearly 40%. These achievements underscore our resilience, operational discipline, and confidence in long-term growth.As regulations tighten and customer demand for sustainable marine fuels accelerates, CBL is uniquely positioned as an early mover with the ISCC certifications and supply partnerships to lead the market transition. We remain focused on executing our strategy to deliver profitable growth and long-term shareholder value.”Outlook Looking ahead, CBL expects to:- Further scale its biofuel supply chain and explore LNG and methanol, leveraging regulatory support and customer adoption.- Continue expanding port coverage to enhance global connectivity.- Maintain disciplined cost management and capitalize on financial flexibility to invest in sustainable fuels and potential shareholder return initiatives.Webcast DetailsCBL International Limited (Nasdaq: BANL) cordially invites you to participate in a webcast to discuss its financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.Event:2025 Interim Results WebcastDate and Time:10:00 pm – 11:00 pm US EST on September 15, 2025 (Monday) 10:00 am – 11:00 am MST/HKT on September 16, 2025 (Tuesday)Access:The webinar can be accessed live through the website provided below.Webcast Link: https://webcast.roadshowchina.cn/k8WDrnAbout the Banle GroupCBL International Limited (Nasdaq: BANL) is the listing vehicle of Banle Group, a reputable marine fuel logistics company based in the Asia Pacific region that was established in 2015.

CBL International發佈2025年中期業績 生物燃料增長強勁 淨虧損減少及毛利率上升

吉隆坡,2025年9月5日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 萬利集團 (以下簡稱 「 萬利 」 或 「 集團 」 )之上市實體 CBL International Limited(以下簡稱 「 公司 」 或 「 CBL」 )(美國納斯達克交易所代碼: BANL),亞太地區知名燃油供應服務商,已於2025年9月2日公布截至2025年6月30日未經審計中期業績。2025年中期財務及運營亮點- 收入 為 2.6517億美元,反映公司在多變的宏觀環境下仍維持穩健表現。- 銷售量增長9.8%,主要受網絡擴充、獲取新客戶及擴展至非集裝箱班輪及生物燃料分部所推動。- 毛利率於2025年上半年增加至1.02%,反映公司在競爭激烈的環境下維持盈利能力及擴大市場份額的策略見效。- 淨虧損按年減少38.8% 至99.2萬美元,顯示成本控制及運營效率均有所改善。- 生物燃料銷售飆升154.7%,主要由按照國際海事組織(IMO) 2023及歐盟海運燃料條例(EU FuelEU Maritime regulations)加快採納可持續船用燃料所推動。- 全球網絡擴展至65個港口,加強CBL作為全球一站式船用燃料物流平台的地位。- 現金結餘 543萬美元及5,000萬美元承諾的銀行授信額度提供強大財務靈活性,支持增長及創造股東價值。財務表現概覽截至2025年6月30日止六個月,公司報告合併收入為2.6517億美元,較2024年同期的2.7723億美元下降4.4%,主要由於船用燃料價格下跌,但部分被銷售量的增加所抵消,而銷售量增加主要歸因於網絡擴充、贏得新客戶以及擴展至非集裝箱班輪及生物燃料分部。公司強大的網絡亦顯示,公司能有效抵禦海事行業所面對的地緣政治影響。毛利保持穩定,為271萬美元,銷售量亦增加以應對市場競爭。毛利率由2024年上半年的0.98%改善至2025年上半年的1.02%。利潤率增長反映公司在競爭激烈的環境下維持盈利能力及擴大市場份額的策略見效。公司於截至2025年6月30日止六個月錄得淨虧損99.2萬美元,較2024年同期的淨虧損162萬美元大幅改善38.8%,主要受惠於公司實施嚴謹的成本管理及運營效率提升措施,促使運營費用由2024年上半年的412萬美元減少17%至342萬美元。截至2025年6月30日,隨著營運資金管理有所改善,加上銀行信貸額增加至5,000萬美元,現金及現金等價物達到543萬美元,為公司的增長計劃提供更大財務靈活性。戰略擴張及卓越運營業務擴充仍然是CBL的主要增長動力。截至2025年6月30日,公司的全球服務網絡已覆蓋65個港口,遍佈亞太區、歐洲、非洲和中美洲。通過把握亞洲區內及歐亞之間替代的貿易航線上增加的需求,此次擴張使CBL能夠有效應對地緣政治動盪,尤其是在紅海及中東地區,以及由美國關稅政策影響引發的全球貿易格局變化。客戶多元化發展達到重要里程碑,非集裝箱班輪銷售佔收入的36.9%,五大客戶的銷售集中度由2024年上半年的66.7%下降至60.4%。公司持續為全球12大集裝箱班輪公司的其中9家公司提供服務,佔全球集裝箱班輪船隊運力近60%。此外,受國際海事組織的船舶碳強度指標以及歐盟海運燃料倡議等更嚴格的環境法規所推動,生物燃料銷售需求於2025年上半年按年激增154.7%,銷量上升189.5%,鞏固了CBL在可持續船用燃料方面的領先地位。公司持續引領這一趨勢,在中國、香港和馬來西亞成功推出B24生物燃料後,又於2025年在新加坡成功推出。B24生物燃料包含76%的常規燃料和24%的食用油甲酯,與傳統的船用燃料相比,可減少20%的溫室氣體排放。更為嚴格的環境法規及行業重塑儘管美國貿易政策、油價及地緣政治風險難以預測,但CBL仍對前景保持審慎樂觀,儘管更多不確定因素可能會影響公司某一特定時期的經營業績。鑒於紅海局勢持續不穩定,船隻繞道好望角,CBL瞄準改航船隻增加的需求,確保公司的戰略供應鏈能夠滿足這些需求,以維持產品的穩定性並把握航線中斷所帶來的機遇。隨著更為嚴格的環境法規重塑航運業,行業正在加快採用生物燃料及其他可持續船用燃料。諮詢機構Exactitude Consultancy預測,由於對生物燃料的需求預計將急劇攀升,綠色船用燃料市場在2023年至2030年期間的複合年增長率達50.4%。憑藉早期進入可持續燃料領域的優勢,CBL正擴大其生物燃料供應鏈,探索液化天然氣和甲醇的發展機遇,致力實現增長,同時在亞太、歐洲及其他主要市場幫助客戶達成的日益嚴苛的脫碳目標。管理層總結及未來展望公司董事長兼首席執行官謝威廉博士表示:「我們上半年的業績突顯了集團的重大戰略進展。儘管宏觀環境充滿挑戰,但我們仍成功擴展全球網絡,以三位數的增長態勢加速生物燃料轉型,使淨虧損減少近40%。這些成就突顯了我們的抵禦能力、營運紀律及對長期增長的信心。隨著法規收緊以及客戶對可持續船用燃料的需求加速增長,CBL作為市場先行者,憑藉ISCC認證和供應合作夥伴關係,具備獨特的優勢引領市場轉型。我們將繼續專注執行策略,以實現盈利增長及長期股東價值。」展望展望未來,CBL預期將:- 以監管支持及客戶采納作為推動,進一步擴大其生物燃料供應鏈,探索液化天然氣和甲醇的發展機會。- 繼續擴大港口覆蓋範圍以加強全球互聯互通。- 維持嚴謹的成本管理,並利用財務靈活性,投資於可持續燃料及潛在股東回報計劃。網絡直播詳情CBL International Limited(納斯達克:BANL)誠邀您參加線上發布會,就公司截至2025年6月30日六個月財務業績作出討論。活動:2025年中期業績線上發布會日期和時間:2025年9月15日(星期一)美國東部時間晚上10:00-11:00 2025年9月16日(星期二)馬來西亞時間/香港時間上午10:00-11:00網路直播詳情:線上發布會可通過以下鏈接觀看直播。網絡廣播鏈接:https://webcast.roadshowchina.cn/k8WDrn關於萬利集團萬利集團成立於 2015 年,以CBL International Limited(納斯達克:BANL)在納斯達克股票市場上市。我們致力於為客戶提供一站式燃油供應服務,被業內稱為燃油供應服務商。我們主要通過當地實體供貨商為船舶提供燃油加注服務,遍布比利時、中國、香港、印度、日本、韓國、馬來西亞、毛里裘斯、巴拿馬、菲律賓、新加坡、台灣、泰國、土耳其和越南,共覆蓋65個港口。集團積極推動可持續燃料,並已取得ISCC EU和ISCC Plus認證。如欲瞭解更多信息,請到集團網站 https://www.banle-intl.com 瀏覽。前瞻性聲明本公吿中的某些陳述並非歷史事實,而是前瞻性陳述。前瞻性陳述一般使用「相信」、「可能」、「可以」、「將要」、「估計」、「繼續」、「預期」、「打算」、「期望」、「計劃」、「應該」、「將會」、「規劃」、「未來」、「展望」、「潛力」、「預測」等類似詞語來預測或表達未來事件或趨勢或不屬於歷史事項的陳述,但不使用這些詞語並不意味著陳述並非前瞻性。這些前瞻性陳述包括但不限於對其他績效指標的估計和預測,以及對市場機會的預測。這些信息涉及已知和未知的風險和不確定性,並基於各種假設(無論本新聞稿中是否指明)以及BANL管理層的當前預期,而非對實際業績的預測。這些前瞻性陳述僅供幫助目的,不得被任何投資者作為且不得被依賴為對事實或可能性的擔保、保證、預測或確鑿陳述。實際事件和情況難以或不可能預測,也會與假設不同。許多實際事件和情況不在BANL的控制範圍內。一些重要因素可能導致實際結果與任何前瞻性陳述存在實質性差異,包括國內外商業、燃料價格及關稅、市場、金融、政治、法律環境、地緣政治及其他導致燃料價格發生重大變化的事件的影響。公司沒有義務公開更新或修改任何前瞻性陳述來反映隨後發生的事件或情況或預期的變化,法律可能要求者除外。儘管公司認為該等前瞻性陳述中表達的預期合理,但不能向您保證此類預期最終正確無誤。公司提醒投資者實際結果可能與預期結果存在重大差異,並鼓勵投資者細閱公司的註冊聲明和向SEC提交的其他文件所載可能影響其未來業績的其他因素。如需更多資訊,請聯繫:CBL International Limited電郵:investors@banle-intl.com縱橫財經公關顧問有限公司鄭松雪 電話:(852) 2864 4857歐陽蔚雯 電話:(852) 2114 4913電郵:sprg_cbl@sprg.com.hk Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

LOLC Advanced Tech and Corsair Group Join Forces to Transform Waste into Fuel in Sri Lanka

AMSTERDAM, Sept 5, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - LOLC Advanced Technologies (LOLC AT), a fully owned subsidiary of LOLC Holdings PLC, together with Corsair Group International, headquartered in Amsterdam, has announced a landmark partnership to upgrade and expand LOLC AT's existing waste-to-fuel plant at Kerawalapitiya. This strategic initiative aims to address Sri Lanka's growing plastic and polythene waste challenge. With Sri Lanka generating an estimated 7,000 metric tons of solid waste per day, equating to roughly 2.56 million metric tons per year, a significant portion of which consists of polythene and plastic. Plastic pollution has become one of the nation's most pressing environmental concerns, with much of this waste ends up in overflowing landfills, waterways, and oceans, posing serious threats to ecosystems, public health, and tourism.LOLC AT invested in and commissioned a waste-to-fuel plant in 2023, which it has successfully operated throughout 2024. This facility converts non-recyclable plastics into a reusable fuel, offering a viable alternative to fossil fuels while diverting waste from landfill and incineration. The newly formed partnership with Corsair Group International will build upon this foundation, introducing cutting-edge enhancements to increase processing capacity and improve efficiency. Through proprietary technology developed in-house by Corsair together with its technology partners, the project will focus on producing high-quality, ISCC PLUS-certified Pyrolysis Oil contributing to a fully circular economy where waste is transformed into resources that can be reintegrated into the economy in a sustainable and scalable way.The expanded facility will be able to handle larger volumes of plastic waste and process a broader range of material types, transforming them into high-quality pyrolysis oil that serves as a raw material for petrochemical companies to produce new plastics positioning the facility as a key contributor to the circular plastics value chain. In doing so, it will not only address a critical environmental challenge but also create green jobs, stimulate innovation, and position Sri Lanka as a regional leader in sustainable waste management solutions.Designed with cutting-edge technology, the new facility will have the capacity to process 12 million kilograms of plastic waste annually, converting it into high-quality Pyrolysis Oil. This oil will serve as a sustainable raw material for the petrochemical industry, enabling the production of new, recycled, and environmentally friendly plastic products. By transforming discarded plastic from landfills into valuable raw materials, the facility will not only help clean the environment of pollution but also contribute to a more sustainable and circular economy in Sri Lanka.Construction of the facility is scheduled to commence in 2025, with completion expected within approximately two years. Under the partnership, Corsair Group will bring in its technical expertise and global experience in plastic waste recycling, while LOLC AT will leverage its operational capabilities and commitment to developing projects that deliver lasting socio-economic and financial benefits to Sri Lanka.Sharing his thoughts on the new partnership, Mr. Danesh Abeyrathna, Director/ CEO of LOLC Advanced Technologies stated, "This partnership marks a significant milestone in our commitment to delivering sustainable solutions to some of the most pressing environmental challenges facing Sri Lanka today. By leveraging our operational expertise alongside Corsair's proven waste-to-fuel technology, we aim to not only enhance the efficiency and capacity of our existing facility but also create a tangible, positive impact on the country's plastic and polythene waste problem. Together, we are driving innovation that turns environmental responsibility into practical, measurable action for a greener future".Mr. Jussi Saloranta, CEO of Corsair Group International, added, "We are very excited and honoured to enter into this partnership with LOLC. As one of the most diversified conglomerates in Sri Lanka, LOLC provides an ideal platform for us to collaborate and create meaningful impact. This facility in Colombo represents the first of several planned joint initiatives, and we are fully committed to investing in Sri Lanka's sustainable development. Together, we aim to tackle the plastic waste challenge while building a cleaner, greener future for communities across the country."About LOLC Advanced TechnologiesLOLC Advanced Technologies (Pvt) Ltd., a fully owned subsidiary of LOLC Holdings PLC, is the research, innovation, and new business development arm of the Group. The company focuses on pioneering ventures that create long-term socio-economic value and financial returns for the country. Current projects span advanced materials such as graphene, high-value spice extraction, and waste-to-value initiatives that address pressing environmental and economic needs.About Corsair Group:Corsair Group International, headquartered in Amsterdam, is one of the fastest-growing companies in plastic waste recycling, focused on producing high-quality pyrolysis oil. With operations and partnerships spanning Asia, Europe, and North America, the company specializes in converting end-of-life plastics-often destined for landfills or oceans-into premium raw material for petrochemical companies to create new plastics, rather than fuels that are burned and lost from circulation. Corsair's further-developed technology and expertise enable scalable, commercially viable solutions that reduce plastic pollution, recover resources, and strengthen the circular plastics economy. Through its international projects, Corsair has already diverted thousands of tons of plastic from the environment, contributing to a more sustainable global future.Contact Infomail: info@corsairnow.comphone: +66 957 613 702SOURCE: Corsair group Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Sep 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hosted by eBRAM International Online Arbitration and Mediation Centre (“eBRAM”), an independent not-for-profit arbitration and mediation institution established with the support of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, the signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and the seminar titled "A New Horizon in Film & TV Trading: Web3 × DMP — Reshaping the Cross-Industry Supply Chain" concluded successfully today. Featuring experts from different industries as speakers and panellists, the event gathered close to a hundred professionals, senior executives, etc., who witnessed the signing of the MOU, and to explore new landscape of film and TV trading.Following the opening remarks delivered by Dr. Thomas So, JP, Chairman of eBRAM, a welcome remarks was made by Dr. Horace Cheung Kwok-kwan, SBS, JP, Deputy Secretary for Justice of HKSAR. Together with Ms. Zhang Yumei, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Law of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the HKSAR, they witnessed the signing of the MOU between eBRAM and Radio Television Hong Kong, the Association of Motion Picture Post Production Professionals, and Asia Pacific Creativity Industries Association, with the parties committing to collaborating in promoting legal technology application in the film and TV cultural industry. In his welcome address, Deputy Secretary Cheung pointed out that being one of the important film and TV production centers in the Asia-Pacific region, Hong Kong serves as a "super-connector" between the Mainland China and international markets. To promote the healthy development of the industry, the Department of Justice continues to advance the development of legal technology application and dispute resolution mechanisms, enhancing the legal support framework through various policies and measures to foster industry innovation. At the same time, eBRAM's Deal-Making Portal (DMP)  acts as a vital tool for the industry to address challenges, providing a more convenient channel for cooperation discussions and more efficient legal rights protection, supporting the steady development of the industry in the long term."CEPA" Promotes Connectivity Between the Film and TV Industries in Mainland China and Hong Kong    Attracting International Capital Inflows and the Industry To Go GlobalThe country has actively amended the Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (“CEPA”) - Agreement on Trade in Services, to accelerate establishing a new normal in film and TV cooperation between Mainland China and Hong Kong. In his keynote speech, Dr. Johnny Ng Kit-chong, MH, JP, Member of the Legislative Council and Director of eBRAM, shared his insights and explained how the newly amended CEPA can reshape and facilitate the upgrade and development of the film and TV cultural industries in the two places. Dr. Ng pointed out that CEPA has injected core impetus into the film and TV industries in Hong Kong and the Mainland China. Co-productions of Hong Kong films and TV programmes would be treated the same as Mainland productions, easing market access for them and allowing upgrade across the entire industry chain, from creation, production, investment to distribution and screening. The removal of restrictions on creative teams also helps safeguard the creative freedom and uniqueness of Hong Kong's film and TV creations. For the industry in Mainland China, the better framework permits it to leverage the international platform in Hong Kong in directing capital to speed up international cooperation and project development. Such in-depth integration can drive two-way flow of talent, funds and projects, opening up wider channels for Hong Kong's film and TV industry to enter the mainland market, and boosting the potential inflow of international capital and technologies, while also assisting mainland China’s film and TV companies in expanding into international markets through Web3 technology.Synergistic Application of Legal Technology and Web3 to Reshape Entire Film and TV Industry ChainAt the seminar titled "On-chain Collaboration X Legal Protection: The Digital Transformation Journey of the Hong Kong Film and TV Industry in the Web3 Generation", Mr. Albert Leung, Acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of eBRAM, Mr. Alan Chiu, Partner at ELLALAN, Mr. Kaijun Huang, Senior Partner at Beijing Dacheng (Shanghai) Law Offices, LLP, Mr. Rex Ma, Honorary President of the Asia Pacific Creativity Industries Association, Dr. Cheney Tsoi, President of the Asia Blockchain Society, and Dr. Alex Lau, Partner at the Hong Kong Intellectual Property Advisory Service, discussed the digital transformation and cross-border cooperation of the film and TV industry in the Web3 era. Speakers highlighted the structural impacts that Web3 technology brings to the film and TV industry, and analysed common obstacles and controversies in technological adaptation and cross-border collaboration within the industry. The discussion emphasized that legal technology enhances copyright protection in both Mainland China and Hong Kong, while mentioning that Web3 introduces disintermediation and smart contract applications to the industry chain, serving as the core for building a trustworthy trading environment and enhancing the efficiency of cross-border film and TV contracts and risk management. Discussions also pointed out how blockchain is reshaping collaboration model of the film and TV industry, emphasizing the role of DMP in transformation and dispute avoidance. It explained that through eBRAM’s DMP and Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform, the industry can leverage tools like smart contracts and blockchain evidence to provide seamless online trading and legal protection to cooperative projects, facilitating efficient cross-border market tradings and resolves common copyright and contract disputes in cross-border collaborations, as such, consolidating Hong Kong’s position as a bridge for Sino-foreign film and TV cultural cooperation, and highlighting the critical role of technology and law in driving industry innovation, protecting rights, and enhancing cooperation efficiency.Dr. Thomas So, JP, Chairman of eBRAM, said, "eBRAM is very honoured to sign the MOU and joint hands with the various film and TV, and cultural creative institutions to build an efficient, professional and safe one-stop cross- jurisdiction online ‘technology + law’ solution platform for the industry. With the help of legal technology and Web3 blockchain technology, the platform will assist companies in effectively connecting resources and partners, clarifying contractual terms and providing digital dispute resolution solutions when needed, building together the world’s first integrated ecosystem of ‘Film and TV x Web3 x Legal Technology’ with international influence, and kicking off strategic deployment of Hong Kong‘s Web3 cultural and creative industry. We look forward to welcoming more film and TV, and cultural creative institutions in different regions to join to perfect our ecosystem, and facilitate healthy cross-border development and cooperation in the film and TV, and cultural creative industry.”In November last year, eBRAM signed an MOU on “International Dispute Resolution in the Film and Television Industry” with Hengdian Film and Television Industry Association and Dongyang Law Society, and in March this year, it participated in the Hong Kong International Film and TV Market (FILMART). Such initiatives speak volumes to its commitment to introducing the DMP and ODR platforms to the film and TV industry and facilitating healthy and synergistic cross-border and cross-media development. On the foundation of the latest MOU signed with local film and TV cultural institutions, together with national policy support, eBRAM hopes to leverage its platforms to bring a continuous steam of new opportunities for film and TV collaboration between Mainland China and Hong Kong, fostering in-depth integration and innovative development within the industry.Photo CaptionsDr. Thomas So, JP, Chairman of eBRAM, host the opening of the event.Dr. Horace Cheung Kwok-kwan, SBS, JP, Deputy Secretary for Justice of HKSAR, delivers welcome remarks at the event.Dr. Johnny Ng Kit-chong, MH, JP, Member of the Legislative Council and Director of eBRAM, delivers keynote speech at the event.Ms. Zhang Yumei, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Law of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the HKSAR (Left 3)and Dr. Horace Cheung Kwok-kwan, SBS, JP, Deputy Secretary for Justice of HKSAR(Right 3), together witness the signing of the MOU between Dr. Thomas So, JP, Chairman of eBRAM(Right 2), Ms. Angelina Kwan, JP, Director of Broadcasting at Radio Television Hong Kong(Left 2), Mr. Stephen Ma, Vice President of the Association of Motion Picture Post Production Professionals(Left 1), and Ms. Linda Lam, President of the Asia Pacific Creativity Industries Association(Right 1).(From Left to Right) Mr. Kaijun Huang, Senior Partner at Beijing Dacheng (Shanghai) Law Offices, Mr. Alan Chiu, Partner at ELLALAN, LLP, Mr. Rex Ma, Honorary President of the Asia Pacific Creativity Industries Association, Mr. Albert Leung, Acting Chief Executive Officer of eBRAM, Dr. Cheney Tsoi, President of the Asia Blockchain Society, and Dr. Alex Lau, Partner at the Hong Kong Intellectual Property Advisory Service, engage in an in-depth discussion on the digital transformation and cross-border cooperation of the film and TV industry in the Web3 era during the seminar.Olivia Kung, Member of the eBRAM Board of Directors, Chairman of the Marketing Task Force, delivers closing remarks at the event.About eBRAM International Online Dispute Resolution CentreeBRAM International Online Dispute Resolution Centre (“eBRAM”) is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee established in 2018, with the support of Asian Academy of International Law Ltd, Hong Kong Bar Association, and The Law Society of Hong Kong. eBRAM tasks itself to elevate Hong Kong’s arbitration and mediation services and build capacity to meet the rapidly expanding demand for online dispute resolution and deal-making services across the borders by utilising innovative technologies to enable the city to become a LawTech centre and hub for international business dispute avoidance and resolution and collaborate with global organisations and participating economies such as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Belt-and-Road countries and beyond.eBRAM has developed its ODR platform and DMP Portal leveraging the latest technologies, including artificial intelligence, blockchain and cloud.
