Hong Kong-listed Sinotrans Shipping is considering diversifying its shipping business, Li Zhen, president of the company said in a press conference.
According to Li, the company is planning to move into new businesses including car carriers and breakbulk shipping. He revealed that the parent group Sinotrans & CSC will establish a new management entity in September and gradually inject more major assets into Sinotrans Shipping, which will remain the main ship operating platform of the group.
