Conference
goal:
To identify major marine transportation issues, which must be
managed by government and industry with the attempt to meet the short
and long-term needs of China’s increasingly consumer and industry
driven import and export market.
The conference will provide attendees with the opportunity to debate
the issues with policy makers from industry and government, as well
as to learn from the experience of others on how to do business in
China.
The
issue:
How the international and Chinese maritime industries will meet the
demands of Economic Growth in China? In years to come, China will
inevitably become one of the world’s largest consumer forces.
Marine transportation of wet & dry bulk, containers and other
products is essential to the viability of China’s internal &
external trade.
China has the potential to become a shipowner’s one-stop shop. The
number of shipowners turning to China’s Shipbuilding Industry with
newbuilding orders continuously increases, while the quality of
China’s ship-recycling industry offers a more responsible
alternative to international shipping companies seeking to avoid the
bad publicity linked to sub-standard scrapping.
The volume of cargo will
continue to grow in order to meet growing demand. New shipping
projects, such as the recently announced tanker fleet collaboration
between China Shipping Group, COSCO, China Merchants Group and China
Changjiang National Shipping Group’s Nanjing Tanker Corp working
with PetroChina and Sinopec, together with port infrastructure
developments are designed to increase China's future shipping
capacity.
The Forum organized by TradeWinds and Mare Forum will examine the
many factors that will influence the way in which the trade and
maritime industries will attempt to meet demand created by these
circumstances.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to Shanghai,
The organisers
