2009 Shanghai International Shipping Forum
--Shipping & Port Development strategies Against the Financial Crisis
To make strategic decisions for enterprises from the global view; to provide professional suggestions for enterprises to judge the market trend; and to explore development strategies against financial crisis with well-known experts!
On March 25th, 2009, Premier Wen Jiabao presided over the State Council Standing Committee Conference, which evaluated and approved in principle the work of Shanghai to accelerate the development of modern service industry and advanced manufacture industry, and to build the international financial center and international shipping center. Therefore, it has been a national strategy for Shanghai to build the International Shipping Center.
China’s shipping and port industry has made significant progress in recent years. Take container ports for example, six of top 10 container ports in 2008 are located in China. However, shipping market has been affected by the economic depression due to the global financial crisis in 2008. As the recession of European and American consumption and raw material demand, the increasing rate of shipping demand declined significantly. In global economic system, international shipping market was terrifically influenced, whose port throughput has decreased sharply. Therefore, to deal with the shipping and port industry downturn and to seek for new development modes in financial crisis has become the most concerned issue for shipping companies and port operators.
As an international shipping research and consultation platform, Shanghai International Shipping Institute (SISI) will hold The International Shipping Summit Forum from July 18th to 19th, 2009, on the issue of International Shipping & Port Development Strategies under the Financial Crisis, aiming to provide support to shipping and port companies on their decision making strategies and investment strategies.
