MARINE INDUSTRY

Shenzhen has already completed the initial stages of building its modern marine industrial system, which is comprised of three main sectors—maritime transportation and carriage, offshore oil and gas, and coastal tourism—that are aided immensely by Shenzhen’s unique geographical and economic positioning. These are supplemented by such emerging marine industry sectors as marine electronic information, marine biology, and high-end marine equipment. Shenzhen is also currently forging itself into a National Model City for the Development of the Marine Economy and Marine Science. China Merchants Holdings (International) Co., Ltd. and China International Marine Containers (Group) Co., Ltd. are two of the Shenzhen marine industry’s well-known local enterprises.
