China Changjiang National Shipping (Group) Corporation (commonly referred to as CSC Group) is China's largest inland shipping company, with operations along the length of the Yangtze river. Its predecessors can be traced back to 1872, but the company in its present form dates back to 1950 when the Yangtze River Shipping Corporation was formed by the nationalisation of assets. This formed a core part of the China Yangtze River Shipping Group when created in 1992, ultimately gaining its present name in 1996.

In 2009 the company was reorganised together with the (also [state-owned]) China National Foreign Trade Transportation (Group) Corporation (Sinotrans) to form Sinotrans&CSC Holdings. [1] A strategic merger of this new company together with China Merchants Group received approval from the State Council of the People's Republic of China in December 2015, and by April 2017 Sinotrans Limited (and its former subsidiary Sinotrans Shipping) had become direct subsidiaries of China Merchants Group. [2]

As of 2014 the company and its subsidiaries operate four major shipyards: [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Shipyard</span> Place where ships are built and repaired

A shipyard, also called a dockyard or boatyard, is a place where ships are built and repaired. These can be yachts, military vessels, cruise liners or other cargo or passenger ships. Compared to shipyards, which are sometimes more involved with original construction, dockyards are sometimes more linked with maintenance and basing activities. The terms are routinely used interchangeably, in part because the evolution of dockyards and shipyards has often caused them to change or merge roles.

Operated by a subsidiary of the United States Steel Corporation, the shipyard was located at Kearny Point where the mouth of the Hackensack River meets Newark Bay in the Port of New York and New Jersey.

Since 2018, transport occupied a relatively low priority in China's national development. In the twenty-five years that followed the founding of the People's Republic in 1949, China's transportation network was built into a partially modern but somewhat inefficient system. The drive to modernize the transport system, that began in 1978, required a sharp acceleration in investment. Though despite increased investment and development in the 1980s, the transport sector was strained by the rapid expansion of production and the exchange of goods.
