COSCO Shipping plans to sell 60% stake of its SG subsidiary

Cosco Shipping International says its Singapore arm's dry bulk shipping business lacks competitiveness.

SGX-listed Cosco Shipping International plans to dispose of its 60% stake in Cosco Shipping Singapore for a price consideration of approximately $57.01m (US$42.391m).

It will be sold to Cosco Shipping HK, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cosco Shipping Bulk Co., which in turn is wholly owned by Cosco Shipping Singapore's indirect controlling shareholder China COSCO SHIPPING Corporation Limited.

The transaction is a part of the company's plans to streamline its current structure to focus on its core logistics business.

In a bourse disclosure, Cosco Shipping International said that Cosco Shipping Singapore's dry bulk shipping business has limited market capability and lacks market competitiveness.

This deal is subject to the approval of the company's shareholders.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
