Since the 2008 international financial crisis, world economy and trade have been growing slowly with global shipping market remaining slump. Indicators that reflect the scale of shipping logistics market in China, such as cargo throughput, are growing conspicuously slowly. When the national economy in China entered the New Normal phase, the country has launched a number of strategic measures to promote transformation and upgrading of shipping logistics industry; shipping enterprises have kicked off a new round of merger and acquisition; port enterprises have also enhanced cooperation among them. Confronted with severe competitive environment, innovative development will become the theme of future development in shipping logistics enterprise.
