On June 15, the inaugural Pudong Shipping Week (PDSW) was announced during the Lujiazui Industry Financial Forum 2023. Scheduled for Dec 4 to 9, this noteworthy event aims to unite global shipping market leaders in hosting the first international, market-driven, and professional shipping week within the Chinese mainland.

This year's PDSW will feature four fundamental principles: market demand-driven, cutting-edge innovation-led, highlighting Pudong's unique shipping features, and fostering diversified integration.

PDSW will glimpse the latest trends and information within global shipping finance, ports, logistics, aviation, and cruise industries. The event will showcase numerous advancements and projects related to digitalization and green low-carbon transformation, making their worldwide debut.

As international economic and trade exchanges rebound, PDSW strives to bridge the gap between the global shipping industry and Pudong, fostering Pudong's shipping outreach on the world stage.

Several prominent shipping organizations, including the China Shipowners' Association and BIMCO, have expressed their intentions to become strategic partners of PDSW. This collaborative effort will promote industry development, enhance external communication, and strengthen business interactions.
