🌱 Under the banner \"Carrying the Dreams of Humanity to New Horizons,\" the event spotlights China’s push for greener seas. Star attractions? Meet the Minjiangkou and Liaohekou – twin 7,500-car carriers running mainly on LNG. These bad boys slash emissions by 27% per Europe trip compared to traditional ships 🛳️➡️🌍.
💡 Tech heads will geek out over the \"smart fisheries\" talks and AI navigation systems. With 11 specialized forums, it’s like Coachella for maritime nerds – minus the flower crowns, plus serious climate cred.
