Do you know that？／You know what？ This platform is becoming the most interesting shipping social circle and shipping industry outside WeChat.

　　Like it or hate it, Twitter has become one of the most important platforms in the shipping industry.

　　Compared with domestic WeChat official account, Netease, Fortune, Tencent video number and applet, as the closest connection of international shipping industry, Twitter and LinkedIn are also important platforms.

　　All along, the smartest people in the shipping industry are always those who can skillfully manipulate the market information flow and control the progress of the negotiation game. It can be said that for today's shipping industry, Twitter has become one of the most famous platforms for shippers to communicate and publish information. The platform was recently renamed X.

　　Whether you like it or hate it, you can't deny that this overseas social platform is increasingly highlighting its role in expressing shipping views. Or the platform may be a place where emotions can be expressed. Here you can watch the contest between bulls and bears in real time.

　　In fact, the platform not only makes the market information that is difficult for outsiders to see "easy to obtain", but also condenses the power of critics. It has become a spicy and sharp ecosystem, and many people in the shipping industry publish their freshest, smartest, most attitude, most interesting or boring views under anonymous accounts.

　　For example, in 2016, the editors-in-chief of two major international shipping media Twitter about "Will COSCO Shipping acquire OOCL? "And will Maersk integrate Hamburg and South America? "published their own views, and bet on fried fish sticks and beer, which greatly enriched the industry anecdote.

　　In addition, some shipping giants who have been keen on Twitter for a long time, such as CEOs or executives of well-known companies in the industry such as MSC, Maersk, CMA, and Beurotte, frequently publish the latest market views and scientific research results on the platform. From a certain dimension, this is very much like the domestic Sina Weibo to the entertainment circle in China.

　　Some people in the shipping industry said frankly, "Twitter is far ahead of all other platforms; Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and other platforms lack professionalism and professional audience; LinkedIn, on the other hand, is too self-promoting: everyone is too busy flattering to have too many proper debates or dialogues. "

　　Joakim Hannisdahl, the hedge fund manager of Gersemi Asset Management Company, has won more than 24,500 fans by freely and continuously publishing his research results. Breakwave Advisors uses the power of social media to publish research results and promote its exchange-traded funds, mainly bulk carriers and tankers, to more than 11,200 followers.

　　Listed companies that interact well with investors on social media also seem to get better valuations. Investors especially like management who looks authoritative and approachable. Mintzmeier pointed out that Oystein Kalleklev, CEO of Flex LNG-known by netizens as "FL executor"-is an example.

　　There are also some investors outside the industry who are full of vision. They also said that for those investors and users who are unfamiliar with shipping or have no industry background like us, we can truly understand the status quo of the industry through this open platform. The value of Twitter platform has become very valuable.

　　Although we, as the shipping media, do not comment on the above statement, WeChat WeChat official account, our main propaganda position, has become one of the indispensable platforms for foreign shipping companies to promote after they enter China.

　　In fact, the analysis of the shipping industry network believes that Musk's "creepy" acquisition of Twitter shows that if you don't understand how something works, then you should never buy it at a price beyond its value.

　　Obviously, Musk may want to use the revision of Twitter, like China's stealing WeChat & Alipay, to create a social software platform that integrates social, information, payment, entertainment and life scenes. It is worth mentioning that Musk recently tested the live broadcast function on Twitter (X).

　　Perhaps smart people in the shipping industry should think ahead about how to create similar online spaces in the future to enhance the attention ability of investors and other stakeholders.

　　The shipping industry network believes that in the future, more and more China shipping companies will "go out" and express their China voices on international social platforms. Shipping Network is also committed to providing publicity support for China shipping companies, and releasing the latest trends on the international stage to promote positive energy. It is also willing to work together with port and shipping enterprises in China to open up and innovate and create a new shipping ecology.
