The Shanghai Maritime University (SMU) is a multi-disciplinary institution that encompasses such areas as engineering, law, liberal arts and science, with a special emphasis on shipping technology, economics and management. Chinese maritime education originated in Shanghai and grew out of the Shipping Section of Shanghai Industrial College, founded in 1909 (towards the end of the Qing Dynasty). SMU was established by the Ministry of Communications in 1959. In response to adjustments of the university layout in Shanghai and to better serve the construction of the Shanghai International Shipping Center, a new campus in Lingang was inaugurated in 2008.
