What happened to China Shipping Container Lines
The COSCO and China Shipping groups merged in 2016. China Shipping Container Lines' container shipping assets passed to COSCO Container Lines, which was renamed COSCO SHIPPING Lines, and CSCL itself left the container business.
Tracking a former China Shipping Container Lines shipment
Look the shipment up with COSCO SHIPPING Lines, using the reference COSCO SHIPPING Lines issued: its Bill of Lading or booking number, or the container number. Enter the container number exactly as it is painted on the box or printed on your documents, even when it still carries an old China Shipping Container Lines prefix.
- A document issued before the change can still name China Shipping Container Lines; ask COSCO SHIPPING Lines or your booking agent for the current reference.
- If COSCO SHIPPING Lines cannot find the shipment, confirm the reference with the agent that issued it before assuming the cargo has not moved.
