The European Chamber’s Maritime Manufacturing & Industrial Services Working Group is delighted to invite you to our next Working Group Meeting “Zhoushan Government Dialogue – Maritime R&D and Shipbuilding” which is to take place on Friday 12^th November 2021, 15:30-17:30 pm.

Register online or email Charlotte Svensson atcsvensson@europeanchamber.com.cn before Wednesday 10^th November, COB. This meeting will take place at the European Chamber’s Shanghai Office.

China is aiming to optimise the structure of its maritime manufacturing sector, upgrade the technical level of ship equipment and build a maritime fleet with advanced technology and green intelligence. Liquified natural gas (LNG) ships and cruise ships are being actively developed to enhance the international competitiveness of Chinese container, crude oil, dry bulk cargo and special transport fleets. Meanwhile China, much like other countries, remain under immense pressure to meet the IMO’s decarbonisation target. Under the new 14^th Five-Year Plan Chinese shipyards are tasked with heavy spending on research and development (R&D) as part of the drive to step up China’s innovation capacity and become more self-reliant in core technologies.

At this meeting, representatives of the Zhoushan Municipal Government will introduce policy for foreign participation in maritime R&D projects and shipbuilding projects. The working group will also introduce its Maritime Manufacturing Position Paper 2021/2022 followed by a roundtable discussion.
