In 2017, Shanghai welcomed a total of 512 cruise calls and 2.9m passenger movements, making it the fourth largest cruise homeport in the world.
At the same time, Wusongkou region is actively developing the cruise support and supply chain networks, including the construction of Shanghai CSSC International Cruise Industrial Park, where more than 40 cruise-related companies have established an office.
In 2017, the supply value of the Wusongkou cruise terminal reached RMB426m(US$66.2m).
By 2020, Shanghai aims to create an international shipping hub in support of the cruise industry offering full service, logistics and resource functions.
