“The acquisition of Sinotrans Container Lines will greatly reduce risks of petrochemical resources’ shipping business and expand the service chain into container transportation sector, which will optimize the company’s business structure and improve the comprehensive competitiveness,” said China Merchants Energy Shipping.
Beijing approved the integration of China Merchants and Sinotrans in 2015. Sinotrans became a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Merchants Group.
Upon the completion of this transaction, China Merchants Energy Shipping will enlarge its business layout covering oil products, bulk cargos, LNG, ro-ro and container transportation.
