Maritime logistics in Asia

---

On 11 July 1404, Zheng He (AD 1371–1435) departed from the east coast of China on his first voyage to the West. Nearly 90 years later, on 3 August 1492, Christopher Columbus departed on his first voyage to the other side of the world. Global navigation opened a new chapter in human history. Since then, maritime logistics has indeed turned the earth into the global village that we see today, and contributed significantly to the development of the world economy. Time flies, but what has never changed is the basic fact that more than 70% of the surface of the Earth is covered by sea. Global logistics cannot be achieved without ships. Maritime logistics has become ever more important to world trade and therefore to the world economy, as ships carry 85–90% of world trade, from energy and raw materials to industrial and agricultural products. During the last decade, seaborne trade has been increased at an annual rate of about 9% corresponding to the 10% increase of Chinese GDP annually during the same period [1]. In the meantime, Asia has again attracted the attention of the world maritime industry with its fast growing capacity in shipping building, container and port traffic, ship owning and management.
