2011 The 5th Global Shipping Summit

The whole world's ecological environment, industry structure and capital value are changing significantly. Such kind of changing is releasing enormous international power and changing each country's industry pattern, economy and trade. Sea freight is the core link of world economy and trade, the blue new economy has been the world's most important foundation and engine. China has become the word's second largest economic entity. Port of Shanghai's TEU has been ranked word's No. 1 in recent years. Under this special economy situation, what kind of method could China do to make such international power have much more potency? How could China transfer itself from a country with big trading and transportation volume into a country with trading and transportation power? How could Shanghai successfully fulfill the assignment to be a real world logistics, finance and information center? The international power and the China pattern are not only China's focus point, but also the whole world's.

Under such kind of circumstances, the Global Shipping Summit Joint Committee had an online net meeting, discussed about the 2011 5th Global Shipping Summit, adopted global shipping top level's and grassroots' comments and suggestions to discover innovative element under the complicated variation and look for a new shipping pattern. After several times meeting and discussing, the 2011 5th Global Shipping Summit was finally confirmed to be held in November 2011 at Shanghai with the theme of International Power & China Pattern.
