Shanghai Maritime University

China's Higher Maritime Education originated in Shanghai. In 1909, the shipping department of Shanghai higher industry school (Nanyang public school) of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the late Qing Dynasty created a precedent for China's higher maritime education. Wusong merchant shipping school was founded in 1912 and renamed Wusong Merchant Shipping College in 1933. In 1959, the Ministry of communications established Shanghai Maritime College in Shanghai. In 2004, it was renamed Shanghai Maritime University with the approval of the Ministry of education. In order to better serve the construction of Shanghai international shipping center and the development of national shipping industry, according to the layout and structural adjustment plan of Shanghai universities, the main body of Shanghai Maritime University was relocated to Lingang New City in 2008. In 2009, the school held a series of activities to celebrate the centennial.

In 2011, with the approval of the Ministry of education, the University cooperated with the Maritime University of central and western Africa in Ghana to hold the undergraduate education project of "logistics management" and began to recruit students in Africa.
