China’s Ministry of Human Resources & Social Security, Ministry of Natural Resources, NDRC and Ministry of Transport issued a joint notice to support the marine economy and promote jobs. Measures target stabilizing and expanding employment in traditional marine sectors and developing modern fisheries, including support for modern marine ranches and distant‑water fishing bases. The notice prioritizes accelerating port and shipping infrastructure modernization and expanding maritime employment capacity, while fostering emerging marine industries — marine pharmaceuticals and bioproducts, energy exploration, seawater desalination and deep‑sea development — and creating and certifying related new occupations. It backs new marine services and business models (marine culture/creative products, high‑end tourism, shipping finance, insurance and arbitration) and the formation of high‑end shipping talent clusters. Employment support includes incentives for shipping firms to build in‑house crew: tax breaks and social‑security subsidies for newly hired eligible workers, and, for firms that avoid or minimize layoffs, application of job‑stabilization refunds and special loans for job retention/expansion, all implemented per existing rules.
