CHINA – GLOBAL ECONOMY – SHIPPING: NAVIGATING BEYOND THE CORONA VIRUS

China has been one of the main pillars of today’s global economy and the locomotive for shipping, given the volume of cargo in and out of Chinese ports. Furthermore, Chinese shipyards pay a leading role for new buildings, dry dockings and vessel retrofits. While significantly below pre-crisis levels, the pace and volume of activity in China and trading with China is slowly rebounding.
