On 8th August China Post issued a set of 2 stamps to commemorate China's ocean shipping industry at a function held in Beijing Ocean Plaza.
At a moment when COSCO commemorates its 50's anniversary, China Post released the special two-piece set of new stamps, with total par value of 2.40 RMB, to mark the developing journey of China's ocean shipping industry. Adopting the design of images of a container ship and a bulk carrier, the stamps embody the themes of container shipping and bulk shipping respectively.
In the backdrop of China's Shanghai port, the container ship themed stamp displays a design from the MV.COSCO Asia, a sixth generation container ship that represents the future boom and continued prosperity of China's maritime industry.
The bulk ship themed stamp adopts the image of MV. Xinshenghai sailing at the Sydney Harbor. The presence of a COSCO bulk carrier at a key overseas bulk shipping port symbolizes the growing international reputation of China's shipping community and the globalization of China's shipping industry.
