在困境中创新谋变——记“国际海运(中国)年会2012”

World Shipping (China) Summit 2012 grandly held in Xiamen

金秋九月，有着“鹭岛”别称的福建省厦门市蓝天碧海、鸟语花香。为加强国际交流与合作，促进我国海运业的发展，在交通运输部水运局、福建省人民政府、厦门市人民政府、中国航海日活动组委会办公室的大力支持下，由中国远洋运输（集团）总公司、英国德鲁里航运咨询公司（DREWRY）、《中国远洋航务》杂志社、美国商务日报（JOC）主办，中国船东协会、波罗的海国际航运公司（BIMCO）、国际干散货船东协会和国际独立油轮船东协会荣誉主办的“国际海运（中国）年会2012”，于9月19日-20日在美丽的厦门岛举行。

The World Shipping (China) Summit 2012, with the theme of 'Sharing an Orderly Market', is grandly held in Xiamen (also known as Amoy), the China southeast shipping hub, from 19th to 20th of September. The Summit attracts more than 700 delegates from all parts of the world and receives an overwhelming response in shipping and related industries. Holding the summit for years in a row, COSCO has played a crucial role in building the platform on which stakeholders share their views and fostering the industrial growth. The World Shipping (China) Summit has developed into a senior exchange platform for the world shipping community and associated industries, and a window for comprehending the market movement, understanding the customer needs, exploring new opportunities and realizing potentials for a 'Multi-Win' situation. 'China Factor', 'China Factor – Challenges & Opportunities', 'Managing Change', 'Riding the Wave', 'Navigating Cross-Currents', 'Changing Priorities', 'Staying the Course' and 'Balance & Breakthrough' created by the events have become the popular words in shipping circle. In the face of the new situation ever since the financial crisis, a different mechanism and leadership is needed to overcome the current turmoils.
