Summary: With the global spread of COVID-19, the shipping industry has played a crucial role in combatting the pandemic's effects, driving economic recovery through trade, and ensuring the stability of industrial supply chains. The North Bund Forum advocates for the innovative application of green low-carbon technologies and the implementation of global greenhouse gas reduction strategies, contributing to the creation of a safe, efficient, and environmentally-friendly global supply chain. As the epidemic is brought under control, the international shipping industry is entering a new development cycle and presenting growth opportunities, which in turn provides strategic opportunities for the development of Shanghai International Shipping Center. Shanghai aims to accelerate the establishment of a world-class shipping center characterized by convenience, efficiency, functionality, openness, integration, and sustainability. The forum serves as a platform for exchanging ideas on major global shipping issues, incubating governance rules and norms, announcing the latest policies and regulations in China and worldwide, and showcasing the Shanghai International Shipping Center.
