History

COSCO Pacific Limited is a Bermuda incorporated company[1] and was a subsidiary of China Ocean Shipping (Group) Company (COSCO). In 1994, it became a listed company in the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (SEHK). At that time, Hong Kong is a British colony and not yet handover back to the People's Republic of China. After the 1997 handover, Hong Kong still has a separate jurisdiction apart from the Mainland China. Since COSCO Pacific was incorporated in Hong Kong but indirectly controlled by the Chinese government, the company is considered as a red chip.[4]

COSCO Pacific, partnered with Hongkong International Terminals, operates the Terminal 8 (East) of Kwai Tsing Container Terminals since 1991.[5] Hong Kong was once busiest container port in which Kwai Tsing Terminals is the main container port of the city.

From 1997[6] to 2007, COSCO Pacific was a minority shareholder (20%) of Liu Chong Hing Bank. From 2007 the stake was owned by COSCO Pacific's parent company, COSCO HK.[7][8]

In 2003, COSCO Pacific is a co-investor of a phase of Qingdao Qianwan Container Terminal, for 20% shares of the SPV that carry the actual investment.[9][10] In the same year, COSCO Pacific also formed a joint venture with PSA.[11]

In 2008, COSCO Pacific made a bid for a 35-year concession to operate the container port of Piraeus.[12][13] In 2016, COSCO Pacific's intermediate parent company, China COSCO Holdings, announced to make a bid of the ownership of the port.[14]

In March 2016, COSCO Pacific's joint venture, COSCO-PSA Terminal, announced to expand the shipping terminal at Pasir Panjang, Singapore.[15]

In July 2016, COSCO Pacific announced it plans to change its name to COSCO Shipping Ports Limited. The decision is linked to a merger and major reorganization of China Shipping Group and COSCO Group earlier in 2016.[16]

COSCO Shipping is one of the entity that was supervised by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) of the State Council,[18] making COSCO Shipping Ports qualifies for one of the criteria of red chip (another criterion is incorporated outside Mainland China, which COSCO Shipping Ports does).[19]

COSCO Shipping Ports was a former constituents of Hang Seng Index, the blue chip index, until 2014,[3] as well as Hang Seng China-Affiliated Corporations Index, formerly an index for notable red chips, until September 2020.[20]
