This is the first overseas center aside from the BIMCO headquarters in Denmark.

"We chose to land the Asian center in Pudong due to its prospects of future development which is likely to attract more potential customers," said Sadan Kaptanoglu, CEO of Kaptanoglu Shipping Group and BIMCO president designate.

In 2013, BIMCO opened its Shanghai Center office in Lujiazui of Pudong New Area, making it the city's first international shipping organization. Over the years, the Shanghai center has played a crucial role in shipping consultation and information services, making international shipping standards and trade rules, and cultivating high-caliber shipping talents.

Pudong has received increasing recognition globally due to the improved service in basic and high-end shipping, said Zhang Lin, vice director of Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission.

The district is now home to a total of eight world-renowned shipping associations and more than 8,000 shipping companies and institutions which cover the whole shipping industry chain.
