Ships transport more than 80 per cent of global trade. Shipping is the most efficient and cost-effective method of international transportation for most goods, and helps to create prosperity among nations and peoples. The maritime industry has been a key enabler of economic growth in, and an indispensable partner for, China as it has developed into the world’s largest trading nation. The importance of the maritime industry to China has been further highlighted by the Belt and Road Initiative, under which the so-called 'Maritime Silk Road' plays a key role. As such, the Chinese and global economy is dependent on a well-functioning and healthy maritime transport industry.

The International Liner Shipping Sub-working Group— originally the Maritime Transport Working Group—was established in 2000 to represent international maritime transport enterprises operating in China. The objective of the working group is to work towards a more efficient and competitive China maritime transport environment. To accomplish this, the working group engages in dialogue with relevant government institutions to contribute to the healthy development of the international transportation industry in China.
