C. Y. Tung Biography Charts Rise of Chinese Deepsea Shipping From Marginal Force to Global Player
A newly published biography, 'C. Y. Tung (1912–1982) and the Rise of Modern Chinese Shipping', chronicles the Hong Kong shipowner's career from the 1930s to his death in 1982. Written by maritime historian Howard Dick and Stephen Kentwell, the book details Tung's role in building a Chinese merchant fleet capable of competing globally, including his pioneering container ships and the ill-fated Seawise University project.
