HONG KONG, Aug. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Known as the beacon of international maritime technology development, the 40th anniversary celebration of Marintec China will be held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre from 3-6 December promises to be another great edition providing a hub for both exhibitors and visitors with valuable experiences to exchange knowledge, to explore and optimise business opportunities.
Marintec China made its debut at the beginning of the China Reform and Opening-up and is held once every two years in Shanghai in an odd-numbered year. To date, 19 consecutive editions of Marintec China have been organized with huge success. It has been growing steadily over the past 40 years. Marintec China is participating in and witnessing the changes of China shipbuilding industry. Act as a bridge between Chinese and international maritime sector, Marintec China plays a pro-active role in advancing Chinese and foreign exchanges and cooperation in marine technology, economic and trade cooperation, ship financing, safety and insurance, rules and regulations, environmental protection and other areas.
After 40-years' development, Marintec China has become one of the largest and influential exhibitions in the world.
As the growth of global shipping trade slowed down this year, the international shipbuilding market could not be optimistic. New ships delivered in the first half year decreased by more than 50% compared with that of last year. Benefiting from the new rules and new technologies as well as positive stimulation of market adjustment, marine market industrial integration and Asia-Pacific market development, Marintec China 2019 has achieved a positive growth. More than 2,100 exhibitors and over 65,000 professional visitors are to be expected. The exhibition area will exceed 90,000 square meters. Marintec China have confidence that the scale of them will be bigger than the last edition.
As at 31 July, 15 national/regional pavilions had been confirmed to attend. They are Austria, Mainland China, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan Region, UK and USA (by alphabetical order).
In this edition, the highlights of Marintec China will have smart shipping, luxury cruise ships, gas carriers and green products.

They are "Keynote Address", "Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering", "Shipping & Ports", "Marine Finance and Law" and "Marine Equipment Technology" as well as "Cruise Interiors".

For the "Marine Equipment Technology" session, it will focus on the application of intelligent technologies, cross-border technologies etc. In sum, "intelligence" is the key word that link up the entire forum.
"Smart Ship" had a brilliant debut at Marintec China 2017. The "intelligence" has penetrated into all the maritime fields over the past two years. In this edition, it evolves from concept to products such as the demonstrations of related devices, systems and platforms.
