Spectacular Event for Shipping Finance & Service Industries Set for Second Coming

SHANGHAI, July 6 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- The 2nd annual Shipping Finance Service Summit 2010 ("SFS 2010"), organized by Global Leaders Institute and the Shanghai Society for Finance and Banking, and supported by the Shanghai Transportation Trade Association will be held from Nov. 30 to Dec. 2, 2010, in Shanghai, China.

Following the success of the inaugural industry flagship event in China -- Shipping Finance Service Summit 2009, which played an influential role in the development of China's shipping hubs, the theme of 2010 will be Keeping Pace with International Finance Service Patterns & Accelerating Chinese Shipping Finance Market Development.

Since the Chinese State Council promulgated the Proposals for Promoting Modern Services and Advanced Manufacturing Industries and Building International Financial and Shipping Centers in Shanghai on March 25, 2009, Shanghai has carried out many successful related executions and achieved much positive feedback.

By pouring CNY 5 billion into the Shanghai Shipping Industry Fund in 2010, which will widely expand investment in shipbuilding, ship leasing, ship insurance and other service sectors, Shanghai is stepping forward to developing itself into a Shipping and Financial Center.

With 28 distinguished speakers, 268 professional attendees voicing support and hundreds of positive appraisals, the 2009 summit observably impressed the Asia Pacific Shipping Finance Field. Now, this passionate and meritorious event will bring you a more sophisticated one in 2010! With a legal workshop and a two-day main conference, as many as 35 topics will bring you more valuable intelligence, precious communications and significant thought exchanges, such as the Outlook of the Shipping Industry in Turbulent Circumstances, Detailed Needs from Submarkets and Corresponding Services, Enhancing the 'Soft Power' of Shipping Finance Services and Innovation and Application of New Patterns for Shipping Finance Services. And by early June, over 20 dedicated speakers from shipping & related service industries have confirmed their participation, including Maersk, COSCO, China Shipping, HSBC, DVB, Natixis, Standard Chartered, SMBC, ICBC, Howe Robinson and V. Ships.
