Shipping Hong Kong 2012

Shipping Hong Kong – is a concept born of necessity and a natural consequence of the growth and influence of Asia as a region, in the world of international shipping.

Last year, for the first time, over 51percent of the global merchant fleet was said to be controlled by Asian shipowners.

Over past decades, shipyards in China, South Korea and Japan alone, have grown to account for the building of over 80percent of commercial ships in the global fleet; with China having, over the past few years, emerged as No1 in the shipbuilding stakes.

Filipino seafarers with some 300,000 crews on ocean going ships, plus Indian, Chinese and other Asian nationalities form the majority seafarers that crew the global fleet.
