Tsuneishi Shipbuilding has open a representative office in Shanghai as it looks to get closer to Chinese shipowners.

“Chinese shipowners are progressing rapidly as the Chinese government advocates the Belt and Road Initiative with the target of becoming a maritime trade superpower,” the shipbuilder said.

“The objective of the Shanghai office is to strengthen relationships with these shipowners by regularly calling on them and conducting market research, thereby gathering information on a timely basis for more effective and efficient business expansion.”
