Originally founded as China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO) in 1961, the business underwent a major restructuring in 2016 when COSCO merged with China Shipping Group to form China COSCO SHIPPING Corporation Limited, the state-owned parent. This consolidation created one of the largest shipping conglomerates globally, enhancing scale and operational efficiency. The corporate grouping is overseen by a board of directors under the supervision of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council.
Today, COSCO SHIPPING’s services span all major global trade routes, with a particular emphasis on Asia-Europe, Trans-Pacific and intra-Asia corridors. The company’s leadership team focuses on fleet renewal, digitalization of logistics processes and environmental initiatives such as smart shipping and low-emission vessel technology. Through its extensive global network, COSCO SHIPPING continues to support international trade flows and supply chain resilience for clients worldwide.
