Higher Education
China's higher maritime education originated in Shanghai. In 1909, the Shipping Department of Shanghai Higher Industrial School (Nanyang College) of the Ministry of Posts and Communications in the late Qing Dynasty created a precedent for higher maritime education in my country. Wusong Merchant Shipping School was established in 1912, and was renamed Wusong Merchant Shipping School in 1933. In 1959, the Ministry of Communications established the Shanghai Maritime Academy 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 the national shipping industry, in accordance with Shanghai's university layout structure adjustment plan, in 2008, the main body of Shanghai Maritime University moved to Lingang New City (now Lingang New Area of Shanghai Free Trade Zone).
