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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
