Designed as a giant ship, the China State Shipbuilding Corporate (CSSC) Pavilion has docked at the Expo Garden to bring back memories of the history of the Chinese shipping industry.

The pavilion is built based in an old factory of the Jiangnan Shipyard (Group) Co Ltd, a company with a 145-year history that is considered an important player in the Chinese shipping industry.

The pavilion will become a shipping museum after the Expo 2010 Shanghai to continue presenting the history and future development of the Chinese shipping industry, according to Gong Hanming, secretary of the party committee of Jiangnan.
