I. The present situation of shipping talents of Shanghai calls for the construction of high-end shipping education base

 Shanghai is on its way to construct an international shipping service center, however, the unreasonableness and the lackness of talents hindered the developing process. Even though the government is making greater efforts in introducing overseas talents by issuing "The Opinions on the Introduction of High-level Talents of Pudong New District" and "The Specific Measures on the Introduction of High-level Talents of Pudong District" in 2011 for the purpose of introducing 100 high-end talents from overseas in five years, the talent-introduction project is far from enough for the long run, let alone the introducing process is of great difficulty. Consequently, only by developing our own high-end talent education base, the base that not only can assemble global high quality education resources, but also is guided by the rules of "be international and open" and "high starting point, high standard and high quality" to cultivate high end talents in modern shipping and logistics.

 Currently, rare majors considering shipping services are set in advanced schools of business management, business schools and law schools of China. Take China Europe International Business School as an example, the curriculum system of which is still focusing on regular management and decision-making of enterprises. Other advanced management colleges which is famous for financial courses haven't launched shipping education yet.

 For the above reasons, the construction and operation of an advanced institute of international shipping which aims at cultivating high end talents in shipping service industry is in urgent need under the current condition of Shanghai's shipping service personnel. A modern shipping education system which develops together with the talent training programs of the existing maritime colleges and universities and advanced management colleges can help consistently offer high end personnel resources for the construction of Shanghai as an international shipping center.

Such a close cooperation leads the developing trend of world's shipping and logistics education.

 In accordance with the intimate relationship among shipping, economy and trade as well as the supportive role played by information technology towards shipping industry, Shanghai international shipping center is bound to be a world shipping service center combining shipping, trade and finance which is supported by knowledge and talents. The lack of talents hinders the development of Shanghai international shipping center, hence, the establishment of Shanghai Advanced Institute of International Shipping contributes significantly to the construction of highland of high end talents in shipping service industry, which can further help promote the integration and improvement of other related supporting environmental elements.

To gather high quality resources from the whole world; to form world maritime education system from high starting point, with high standard and to achieve high quality; to drive the mobility and configuration of talents; to upgrade industry service level; to foster the rapid development of modern shipping service industry; all these are the missions and tasks bared on the shoulders of Shanghai Advanced Institute of International Shipping.
