History

China Ocean Shipping Company (1961–1993)

China Ocean Shipping Company, or COSCO in short, was founded in 1961 as a Chinese government agency. In the same year, a subsidiary was formed in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. The Guangzhou subsidiary purchased a British vessel and renamed it as Guanghua (Chinese :光华). Guanghua made its maiden voyage to Jakarta for the People's Republic of China in April 1961. [10]

After the US resumed diplomatic relations with China in the 1970s, China Ocean Shipping Company signed an agreement with American company Lykes Brothers Steamship Company in 1979. The agreement opens the commercial sea routes between the United States and the People's Republic of China. [11] In the same year, COSCO became the Chinese side representative to collaborate with International Telephone and Telegraph on repairing the communication facilities in the coastal cities of China. [12]

In 1981, COSCO won a contract from the Pakistani Government owned National Tanker Company of Pakistan, for crude oil transport. [13]

In 1991 COSCO was asked by the US Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) to submit information regarding Chinese Government restricting U.S.-flag carriers on doing business in China. COSCO asked FMC to drop its probe instead. [14] FMC also investigated COSCO for its pricing behavior in 1997, but stated there was not enough evidence to launch a formal probe on alleged under-pricing its service to eliminate competitor. [15]

In August 1993, COSCO's ship Yinhe, was anchored off the coast of Oman. US government alleged that the ship carried material exported to Iran, which could be used to make chemical weapons. COSCO claimed that the ship only contained "paper goods, hardware and machine parts". [16] In what became known as the Yinhe incident, United States military vessels and aircraft followed the Yinhe, disrupting its normal travel route. [17] : 69  The United States unilaterally disabled the Yinhe's civilian GPS, causing it lose direction and anchor on the high seas for twenty-four days until it agreed to inspection. [18] [19] The Yinhe experienced shortages of water and fuel. [17] : 69–70  The inspection, which occurred in Saudi Arabia did not find any improper chemicals [20] and on September 4, representatives of the Chinese, Saudi and United States governments jointly signed a certification that the ship's cargo did not contain materials related to chemical weapons. [21] : 54 

China Ocean Shipping (Group) Company (1993–2015)

The company became a holding company and renamed as China Ocean Shipping (Group) Company in 1993. [22] [ non-primary source needed ] Two other government owned companies, China Marine Bunker Supply Company (Chimbusco in short) and China Road Transport Company, which engaged in oil tanker and road transport businesses respectively, became the subsidiaries of the group in 1988 and 1992 [23] respectively. China Road Transport Company was renamed into COSCO Logistics in 2001 (now part of COSCO Shipping Logistics). As of 2003, COSCO Logistics engaged in shipping agency, freight forwarding, third party logistics and supporting services. [23] [ non-primary source needed ] While Chimbusco became a joint venture with PetroChina since 2003. [24]

COSCO has a Hong Kong division which the division acquired a HK-listed company Shun Shing Holdings [a] in February 1997. [25] Hong Kong was a British colony until June 30, 1997, and has been a special administrative region of China with a separate jurisdiction system since July 1. Another subsidiary of COSCO HK at that time, [25] COSCO Pacific, [b] was a HK-listed company since 1994. COSCO Pacific has a joint venture with Hongkong International Terminals Limited, which operates a terminal in Kwai Tsing Container Terminals, Hong Kong since 1991. [26] COSCO Pacific acquired 49% stake of COSCO Logistics from the parent company in 2003. COSCO retained the remaining 51%. [23] COSCO Pacific also owned 20% stake of Hong Kong-based Chong Hing Bank from 1997 [27] to 2007. In 2007 the stake was sold to the parent company, COSCO HK. [28] [29]

In 1995, another subsidiary, COSCO Corporation (Singapore) Limited, [c] became a listed company in Singapore Exchange. [30] The company was a component of Straits Times Index until 2010. [31]

COSCO acquired a Shanghai-listed company in 1997 as a vehicle of backdoor listing. It became COSCO Development, [d] which engaged in real estate. The direct parent company of COSCO Development was sold in 2005, thus COSCO Development was no longer part of the COSCO Group. [32] Also in 2005, COSCO Group acquired a company from COSCO Development. [33] That company was the operator of Boao Forum for Asia. [22] [ non-primary source needed ]

In 1997, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, United States senators from California, had asked the Clinton administration to investigate COSCO's leasing on a former naval base in Long Beach. The site was developed into a container port terminal, Pacific Container Terminal. [34]

In 2002, another subsidiary, COSCO Shipping Co., Ltd., [e] became a listed company in Shanghai.

In 2004, COSCO formed a joint venture with fellow Central Government owned Ansteel Group (Angang Group). [35]

In 2005, the flagship subsidiary of COSCO, China COSCO Holdings, became a listed company. [36] The A share of China COSCO Holdings was listed in Shanghai since 2007. [37]

After the post-2008 financial crisis collapse of global shipping, COSCO began gradually acquiring the Greek port of Piraeus. [9] : 68  Under COSCO, Piraeus has become a busy port, rising from traffic of 400,000 containers in 2008 to nearly five million containers in 2018. [9] : 68  Most European trade with China occurs via Greek ships, including through Piraeus. [9] : 68 

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, most shipping companies halted all container shipping to Russia, except for basic food products, medicine and humanitarian aid. The exception is COSCO which continues to ship to Russia, and was the largest shipping company to do so. [38]

Mergers

In 2005, a smaller Central Government owned company, China Ocean Shipping Tally (known as China Tally in short), was merged into COSCO Group. [39]

In 2008, China COSCO Holdings was part of Financial Times Global 500 for the first time. [40]

By 2015, after more than 5 decades, COSCO Group expanded into one of the major shipping company of the country. It also had a few listed subsidiaries: COSCO Pacific, COSCO International Holdings, China COSCO Holdings, China International Marine Containers, etc., . Real estate developer, Sino-Ocean Group, was an associate company of COSCO until 2010.

In December 2015, COSCO Group merged with fellow Chinese Government owned China Shipping Group [41] to form China COSCO Shipping. COSCO Group was retained as an intermediate holding company.

In December 2017, COSCO Group (China Ocean Shipping (Group) Company) was re-incorporated from "An industrial enterprise owned by the whole people" to simply a limited company. The name of the company, also changed to China Ocean Shipping Company, Limited (Chinese :中国远洋运输有限公司). [42]

COSCO also had an unlisted business unit in Hong Kong, which was known as COSCO (Hong Kong) Group Limited. COSCO (H.K.)

The Yinhe incident occurred in 1993 after the United States government received intelligence that the China-based container ship Yinhe was carrying chemical weapon materials to Iran. The United States Navy forced the surrounding Middle Eastern countries to refuse docking rights to the Yinhe, leaving it in the international waters of the Indian Ocean for twenty-four days. Additionally the Chinese claimed that the GPS of the ship was jammed such that the ship could not navigate. Eventually inspections of the ship's cargo by a joint Saudi-United States team concluded that the cargo ship did not contain any chemical weapons precursors. The U.S. government stated that there would be no apology, saying "the United States had acted in good faith on intelligence from multiple sources." Some American officials within the Clinton administration later raised the possibility of China having deliberately spread false intelligence in order to cause the incident, referring to it as a "sting" to embarrass Washington. The incident resulted in an increase of Chinese nationalism and anti-Americanism in China throughout the 1990s.
