World
shipping summit focuses on the China factor
Posted: 26 May 2004
Beijing will be the venue for a top level shipping summit in July
bringing together leading maritime industry companies and government
and trade bodies to discuss the impact China is having on world
trading patterns.
China's largest shipping group Cosco has joined forces with internationally
renowned, London based maritime consultancy Drewry Shipping Consultants,
and one of China?s largest shipping media groups Maritime China,
to put this industry-leading event — the World Shipping (China)
Annual Summit — together.
Since China entered the World Trade Organisation in late 2001,
soaring inward investment has created a voracious appetite for raw
materials and energy products. Consequently, the world shipping
markets exhibited unprecedented growth in 2003 owing to what is
being called - The China Factor.
This shift in world trading patterns has driven growth in all of
the major shipping market sectors: container liner shipping, dry
bulk shipping and oil shipping over the past year.
So how will The China Factor change world trading patterns in the
medium to long term? The World Shipping (China) Annual Summit will
provide many of the key insights.
The event will be attended by Chinese government officials, senior
management from international companies and institutions engaged
in shipping and related businesses, investment banks.
An international panel of experts and academics will be invited
to speak on the structural impact of the China Factor both on global
trade and the shipping markets.
The World Shipping (China) Annual Summit will be held in Beijing
on 15th & 16th July and will create an exchange platform for
what the future holds for raw material suppliers, trade partners,
logistics providers and shipping companies. Further, the Summit
will set the agenda for change, discern client needs and create
commercial opportunities for all those involved.
15-16 July 2004
China World Hotel, Beijing
Hosted by: Cosco Group, Drewry Shipping Consultants, Maritime China
