Cosco Shipping Ports has ditched plans buying into compatriot CCCC Dredging, citing “feedback from the market”.

Last month, the ports arm of the world’s largest maritime conglomerate had said in a release it was looking into buying a 10% stake in the dredging giant, the latest move in China’s move to get state-backed port-related entities to act globally in a more united manner.

Cosco’s ports division is now one of the largest terminal operators in the world, closing in on Hutchison Ports, which lies in second place behind PSA International.
