Tianjin International Shipping Industry Expo 2024 kicked off on July 10th. Themed “Shipping to the World & Navigating towards the Future - Facilitating Domestic and International Dual Circulation”, the expo aims to create a platform for international cooperation and exchange in the shipping industry.

Representatives from ministries, experts and scholars from industry associations and international organizations, and entrepreneurs gathered in Tianjin to discuss new trends, philosophies, and pathways for the development of the shipping industry, and to jointly plan a bright future for facilitating domestic and international dual circulation.

The opening day saw a signing ceremony for 65 key projects with investment totaling nearly 40 billion yuan.
