China Shipping Container Lines Co., Ltd (CSCL), (SEHK2866, SSE: 601866) a division of China Shipping Group (China Shipping), is a containerized marine shipping company, based in Shanghai, China.

Corporate affairs

CSCL, established in 1997, provides fully containerized marine and intermodal freight transport, storage, and electronic data interchange services worldwide. The company has grown rapidly; it is now[when?] the eighth largest container shipping company having recently acquired a minority interest in Asia Pacific Marine Container Lines of Canada. Its fleet comprises over 150 vessels, boasting a total operating capacity of 600,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU).[1] As of 2013, the container shipping market is still characterized by overcapacity, and decreasing prices for new ships. CSCL and United Arab Shipping Company cooperate on the Asia-Europe-Asia line, and both companies have ordered 5 ships bigger than the Maersk Triple E class. Delivery is to begin in 2014 from Hyundai Heavy Industries.[2][3] As of 2014, CSCL and UASC entered a new partnership, dubbed the Ocean Three alliance, alongside the French CMA CGM.[4]

The company calls on ports across the world, and more than 30 ports from South China to North China in its domestic coastal business. It also operates container yards and trucks, international cargo agencies, and terminal facilities in many countries. North American freight services include refrigerated cargo carriage in the line's own reefer container fleet, as well as other specialized cargo container services.
