Liu Zhengjiang, Li Zhen, Chang Mengmeng

ABSTRACT

Based on the current development of the Chinese shipping industry and our activities in the IMO, this paper analyzes our gap with other advanced shipping countries in the international maritime affairs and points out the roles that Chinese maritime institutions should play. Taking Dalian Maritime University as an example, this paper introduces the current practice of DMU in the research of international maritime conventions and the goals that we should try to reach, that is, through cooperation with IMO and other maritime educational and research institutions, to build a base of international maritime conventions researchers and relevant talents. This paper thinks that Chinese maritime institutions should not only cultivate sufficient talents in navigation and maritime management for the sustainable development of the shipping industry, but also provide strong decision-making support for governments, shipping enterprises in the research of international maritime conventions.
