Chemical Transport: Despite challenges in global chemical logistics, COSCO SHIPPING Energy managed to optimize operations, increasing its profit margin by 4.9%, and is poised for growth as the chemical industry recovers globally.

Innovation in Energy Infrastructure: West Zhong Island Project

COSCO SHIPPING Energy has also invested in the West Zhong Island New Energy Logistics Park, focusing on hydrogen and LPG logistics. This development in partnership with local governments and energy firms is a significant step towards creating a green energy infrastructure.

Focusing on Sustainability and Future Growth

As global energy demands shift towards sustainable sources, LNG and LPG transport will continue to play a crucial role in COSCO SHIPPING Energy's portfolio. By expanding its green energy fleet and strengthening its position in chemical logistics, the company is well-equipped for long-term success in the energy transport sector.

COSCO SHIPPING Energy is not only adapting to market changes but leading the transformation in global energy logistics, building a diversified, sustainable, and profitable future.
