**************************************************************************
     Further to the announcement of the appointments to the Hong Kong Maritime and Port Development Board (HKMPDB) on June 13, 2025, the Government today (January 30) announced that the Chief Executive has appointed Mr Lothair Lam Ming-fung as a non-official member of the Board for a term until June 30, 2028.

     Welcoming the appointment, the Secretary for Transport and Logistics, Ms Mable Chan, said, "Mr Lam is a maritime veteran with profound professional experience in the industry. He is also the incumbent Legislative Council Member representing the Transport Functional Constituency. I am confident that he will make valuable contributions to the work of the HKMPDB."
