ABOUT: In 1997, the Chinese government founded China Shipping Group as a SOE. That same year, China Shipping Container Lines Co. Ltd (CSCL) was founded in Shanghai as a subsidiary of China Shipping Group.
After China joined the WTO in 2001, CSCL grew rapidly, playing a major role in supporting China’s economic advancement and international trade. With continued support from the Chinese government, CSCL’s global TEU market share increased 126% between 2000 and 2006, becoming the second fastest growing container carrier in the world. In 2004, CSCL became the world’s tenth largest ocean container line in terms of TEU capacity, and in 2007, it became the world’s sixth largest.
In China, CSCL had in-house trucking companies, a container yard, and the company called on 12 Chinese seaports and several riverports. The company owned assets in dozens of countries. Over the years, CSCL developed a large intermodal network in the US by contracting with trucking companies and all major US railroads. In May 2001, CSCL, Marine Terminal Corporation, and BNSF Railway announced a twice-weekly on-dock train service to deliver China Shipping containers from the Port of Los Angeles to Chicago, IL.
In February 2016, CSCL’s parent company, China Shipping Group completed a merger with COSCO Group to form COSCO SHIPPING Group.
