Sanya hosts side event of the 7th Symposium on Global Maritime Cooperation and Ocean Governance

Report on Southeast Asian Youth Perceptions of Maritime Issues released

BEIJING, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A side event of the 7th Symposium on Global Maritime Cooperation and Ocean Governance was held at China Media Group (CMG) Sanya Studio on November 8. More than 10 Chinese and international participants discussed how to put into practice the Agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ Agreement), and how to communicate ideas about ocean conservation to audiences worldwide.

Experts at the event described the BBNJ Agreement, which entered into force in January this year, as a landmark victory for multilateralism in global ocean governance. They said it charts a course for all parties to work together to protect marine biodiversity.

Jiao Nianzhi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, described marine biodiversity as a toolbox for humanity, saying that protecting it means safeguarding humanity’s future. Aileen Tan, chairperson of the Sub-Commission for the Western Pacific of UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, said the BBNJ Agreement gives the ocean “breathing space” and stressed the need for scientists from different countries to work together on ocean conservation. She cited Malaysia-China cooperation in marine scientific research as a good example and expressed hope that China would play a greater leadership role. Ronán Long, director of the WMU-Sasakawa Global Ocean Institute at the World Maritime University in Sweden, said China’s strong data capabilities could help accelerate the implementation of the Agreement’s provisions on sharing non-monetary benefits arising from marine genetic resources.

Participants also highlighted China’s efforts and achievements in promoting maritime cooperation and advancing marine ecological restoration, among other areas. The side event was jointly hosted by CMG’s Chinese Language Programming Center, the Huayang Center for Maritime Cooperation and Ocean Governance, the National Institute for South China Sea Studies and other organizations.

During the symposium, CMG’s Chinese Language Programming Center and CMG Institute jointly released the Report on Southeast Asian Youth Perceptions of Maritime Issues. The report presents the concerns and expectations of young people in Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, regarding ocean-related issues.

The report finds that Southeast Asian youth have a positive outlook on maritime cooperation with China. Nearly 80 percent of respondents are willing to take part in China-ASEAN youth exchanges on ocean-related issues. The report also notes that Southeast Asian youth are concerned about broader issues of ocean governance and look to China to shoulder greater responsibilities and play a larger role in global ocean governance.

Why Brisbane Airport selected LG for its landmark digital infrastructure upgrade

Published

By

Australia’s third-largest airport now runs passenger information across 950 LG displays monitored centrally via LG SuperSign CMS

News summary

Brisbane Airport manages approximately 950 LG commercial displays from a single platform LG SuperSign CMS deployed on-premise to meet strict security and operational controls for critical infrastructureLG SuperSign CMS offers leadership, operations and ICT team remote visibility and control of entire display fleetLG’s embedded System-on-Chip allows real-time flight information (FIDS), gate information, wayfinding and operational messaging to be directly pushed to display screens without external media playersBrisbane Airport’s transition to LG’s SuperSign CMS has driven down operational costs significantlyDeployed in partnership with Australian integrator Programmed, this digital overhaul forms a key part of Brisbane Airport’s ongoing $5 billion Future BNE transformation

SYDNEY, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) has partnered with Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC), replacing a previously fragmented digital signage system with a modern network of approximately 950 LG commercial displays centrally managed by LG SuperSign CMS. Covering the domestic and international terminals, baggage handling areas, and car parks, these LG screens deliver real-time flight information displays (FIDS), gate information, passenger wayfinding, and operational communications reliably across a 24/7 environment.

As Australia’s third largest airport preparing for a forecast surge in passenger numbers ahead of the major event in 2032, Brisbane Airport needed to replace an increasingly unreliable, ageing network with a simplified, scalable solution that its lean ICT team could operate day-to-day.

“The reliability of the displays is essential. Without them working, people are lost — quite literally,” says Michael Kerr, Integrated Operations Manager at BAC.

To address these critical demands, LG worked alongside local integrator Programmed to deploy a centralised digital signage network driven by LG SuperSign CMS. The platform provides ICT and operations teams with comprehensive visibility across the entire display fleet remotely, replacing an otherwise manual process of physical, daily check-ups.

“LG SuperSign has been a game changer for my team. We just don’t have the arms and legs to go around and check those 950 screens on a daily basis. The monitoring capabilities really give us that eyes-on view of what’s across our infrastructure,” says Anthony Tully-Smith, ICT Applications Manager at BAC.

One system, diverse displays

BAC’s new estate involves a range of LG display solutions tailored to specific passenger zones. This includes:

43- and 49-inch LG commercial panelsLG Ultra Stretch displays in totemsLG 49XE-series high-brightness outdoor displays110-inch LG UM5K indoor screensA 136-inch LG LAPA-series All-in-One LED in international arrivals

With LG’s embedded System-on-Chip (SoC) platform and internal web page player, real-time flight information and content now play directly on the screens. This removes the need for external media players, simplifying the network architecture.

“We’ve taken what was a fragmented digital signage system, not very visible to management, now to an integrated modern solution with centralised management and health visibility,” says Graham Wands, Business Development Manager at Programmed. “LG SuperSign enables us to take a proactive stance and make sure that the FIDS and other signage are highly available and always visible to passengers.”

Built for critical infrastructure

As a privately owned critical infrastructure operator, BAC needed full control of its content. LG SuperSign CMS is deployed on-premise to meet the airport’s security and operational-control requirements. LG’s device hardening helps reduce the risk of unauthorised content, such as USB sideloading.

The project also supports the airport’s ESG goals; LG UH series screens carry Carbon Trust footprint-reduction certification, LG offers a free e-waste program, and power consumption can be monitored and optimised from LG SuperSign CMS.

“At an airport, a screen is only as useful as the information on it, and how quickly someone knows when it stops working. Brisbane Airport shows what happens when displays and management software are planned together as operational infrastructure, with a local integrator who knows the site. We’re grateful to Brisbane Airport and Programmed for the partnership, and we look forward to supporting the airport as it grows,” says Chris Wilson, Sales General Manager – Information Display at LG Electronics Australia.

Looking ahead

BAC sees LG as a long-term partner as it progresses its $5 billion Future BNE transformation, paving the way for the expansion of Terminal 3 and more LED and messaging capabilities ahead of the 2032 games. By transitioning from a fragmented legacy setup, BAC has unlocked a foundation built for long-term operational efficiency.

“For me, managing an ageing infrastructure before we moved to the new LG digital displays was costing us quite a lot from a maintenance and an ongoing perspective,” says Tully-Smith, “The move to the new LG SuperSign, but also the new LG screens, has driven down my operational cost significantly across the airport.”

This newfound efficiency has helped BAC focus on what’s most critical – passenger experience.

“It’s important for us to have a partner like LG. The innovation and the fresh thought that team brings has really helped me accelerate the digital experience across all of our terminals,” says Tully-Smith.
