Focuses on risk management, crisis management, media training for corporate spokesmen and marketing and media consulting for the global shipping industry, with regional network partners in London, Hong Kong and New York, plus 13 other MTI partners in global shipping centers and 26 associate network contacts.

MTI is also active in event management for individual companies coming to Asia, as well as organizing major shipping conferences.

We were the exclusive representative (from 1998-2006) for Marine Money, a New York based publishing group specializing in financing issues for the global maritime industry for the past 21 years. On their behalf we have been organized ship finance conferences in China, (Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Dalian) and Singapore.

This division operates as a Greater China business consultancy, leveraging its past professional experiences and on-going network of global contacts to the maximum in three distinct areas: business consulting, finance and trade facilitation. Our goal is to assist in the assimilation of Chinese and Western business principles and concepts thus creating business growth and opportunities.

Business consulting.  Our practical experience of business growing and developing in various international markets has provided us with the knowledge and global contacts to help companies (specifically in China and in the maritime industry) grow domestically and internationally; by leveraging their internal resources combined with our innovative marketing concepts. We assist in:
• creating and implementing business plans
• plans and applications for funding purposes
• building international business
• finding the right international joint venture partner
• buying or selling businesses.

Trade Finance.  We provide creative concepts for non-traditional funds and private equity financing for the maritime industry, as well as acting as facilitators for Chinese companies looking for finance and/or international trading ventures and on behalf of our associate companies.

Trade Facilitation.   Based on the knowledge and networking derived from our maritime business, we are well placed to know who is buying, who is selling, from where, in what quantities and often at what price. This constant market knowledge allows us to help Chinese companies buy or sell to the international markets in a competitive manner and facilitate increased business opportunities to help China SMEs develop into international companies.
