February 28, 2013 Category Logistics, Ports & sea transport
The Copenhagen-based Baltic and International Maritime Council (BIMCO) has opened its Shanghai Center. BIMCO has more than 2,500 members globally, controlling more than 15,000 ships and 65% of the world’s tonnage, the Shanghai Daily reports. Torben Skaanild, Secretary General of BIMCO, said the set-up of the center in Shanghai is a milestone for the Council. BIMCO will help China amplify the “voice” of the Chinese shipping industry on the world maritime stage, especially in crafting global shipping standards and trade rules, he said. Shanghai will improve its infrastructure construction to build itself into an international shipping center, as well as develop its shipping service industries that rely on BIMCO, said Zhang Lin, Vice Director of the Shanghai Municipal Transport and Port Authority.
