PROSPECTS

The global geopolitical landscape in 2026 remains complex and challenging, with persistent uncertainties in trade patterns.

According to London-based shipping consultancy Drewry, global container throughput growth is projected to slow to 1.8% in 2026. Against this backdrop, the Company will adhere to a high-quality development philosophy, closely aligning with the goal of becoming a world-class port logistics service provider. The Company will focus on our core business, improve operational efficiency, and strive to enhance global competitiveness and sustainable development capabilities.

First, the Company will prioritize strategic guidance to optimize our global port layout. Guided by the principle of “expanding globally while deepening efficiency domestically”, the Company will accelerate the construction of a global terminal network that synergistically integrates developed and emerging markets, greenfield and brownfield terminals, and hub and gateway ports. The Company will strengthen corridor development, elevate service levels at key hub ports such as COSCO SHIPPING Ports Chancay PERU S.A., Piraeus Container Terminal Single Member S.A., and CSP Abu Dhabi Terminal L.L.C., and systematically advance hardware and software investments aligned with business growth and smart, low-carbon initiatives. Concurrently, the Company will increase the size of feeder networks, enhance route aggregation effects, and achieve a strategic framework where all terminals connect to form a network and develop synergistically.

Second, deepen operational synergy to comprehensively enhance quality and efficiency. The Company will adhere to lean operations while strengthening marketing and internal coordination, as well as closely monitor shifts in the international shipping landscape to increase coverage of the parent company’s dual-brand routes at subsidiary terminals. The Company will also deepen business integration with the fleet of China COSCO SHIPPING Corporation Limited (the Company’s ultimate controlling shareholder) to accelerate diversified business development. The Company will expedite the construction of a digital marketing and business platform to transition from experience-driven to data-driven operations.  Key initiatives include advancing the intelligent route planning project to enhance operational efficiency and strengthening standardized management of equipment throughout its lifecycle to sustain operational capacity.

Third, strengthen network aggregation and enhance comprehensive service capabilities. The Company will focus on upgrading from “single-point development” to “network synergy.” Continuously reinforce trunk and feeder networks and corridor development at key hubs to enhance transshipment and network capabilities.  Vigorously develop integrated “port + logistics” services and promote standardized supply chain products. Leveraging key logistics nodes, provide customized end-to-end solutions for emerging cargo types such as photovoltaic and energy storage. By coordinating global network resources, the Company will establish a tiered, synergistic operational system to comprehensively enhance supply chain resilience and service value-added.

Fourth, accelerate innovation-driven development to cultivate and expand new productive forces. The Company will actively embrace digital and green industrial trends, integrating technological innovation with core business operations. The Company will deepen the integration of innovative applications like artificial intelligence with terminal operations, expanding the scaled application of digital twins and AI technologies in intelligent scheduling, equipment maintenance, and safety control. In green and low-carbon initiatives, the Company will intensify the promotion and application of new energy equipment, advance port microgrid construction and refined energy management, continuously reduce energy consumption per unit of output, and explore new pathways for green development.

In 2026, the Company’s management will proactively address external challenges and seize development opportunities with a strong sense of mission and responsibility. Regarding the situation in the Middle East which has drawn significant attention, the Company will continue to closely monitor the situation and carefully assess any potential impact, and take any necessary measures to ensure operations continue uninterrupted.  By implementing the aforementioned measures, we will substantially enhance the Company’s core competitiveness and core functions, striving to deliver sustained and stable value returns for all shareholders.
