In the release of “The 12th Five-Year Plan for Speeding up the construction of Shanghai International Shipping Center”, Marintec China has been included in the plan to promote maritime cultural construction. “China Maritime Museum, Shanghai International Shipping Forum, Marintec China and Maritime Day of China are key elements for maximizing the social impact of the Shanghai international shipping centre, so as to promote the development of the maritime industry. The “Shanghai International Shipping Forum” has been incorporated as one of the forums for discussion in the Senior Maritime Forum starting from 2011, signifying the prominence of Marintec China in the “12th Five Year Plan”.
