提起航运中心,不禁使人回忆起60年前的旧事,本世纪30年代,上海曾经是世界著名商埠,贸易、工业、金融十分发达。上海港曾经是远东航运中心,世界各国主要轮船公司无不在上海设立分公司、办事处与代理行,航线遍布全球。1931年仅进口船舶就达2100万吨,仅次于纽约、伦敦、神户、洛杉矶、汉堡、大阪而居世界第七位,鹿特丹、香港在上海之后居第八、第九位。 Lift the shipping center, can not help but make people recall the old 60 years ago, the 1930s, Shanghai was once a world-renowned commercial port, trade, industry, finance is well developed. Shanghai Port used to be the Far East Shipping Center. All the major shipping companies in the world set up branches, offices and agents in Shanghai with routes all over the world. In 1931, only 21 million tons of imported ships were imported, second only to New York, London, Kobe, Los Angeles, Hamburg and Osaka, ranking seventh in the world. Rotterdam and Hong Kong ranked eighth and ninth after Shanghai.
