COSCO Shipping Holdings (ISIN CNE1000002J7) closed at CNY 16.37 on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on September 30, 2026, up 0.24 percent from the previous close. On October 5, 2026, its container shipping arm added coverage between Mediterranean gateways and Montreal through a slot-charter agreement.

New Canada service expands coverage

As Container News reported on October 5, 2026, COSCO Shipping Lines will take slots on Hapag-Lloyd's Mediterranean Canada service. The connection will be marketed under the Mediterranean Canada Service brand and will link ports including Salerno, Genoa, Marseille, Algeciras, Tangier and Montreal.

The arrangement gives COSCO additional network coverage without creating a separately operated loop. That distinction matters because capacity growth can support trade coverage while leaving operating costs tied to a slot agreement rather than a new full-service deployment.

Revenue rises as earnings recover

According to Moomoo in its 2026 interim report, first-half revenue reached CNY 111.922 billion, an increase of 2.59 percent year over year. Profit attributable to equity holders was CNY 17.528 billion, compared with a loss of CNY 4.135 billion in the same period of 2025.

Container shipping revenue increased 2.38 percent year over year to CNY 107.298 billion, while supply-chain revenue excluding ocean freight rose 11.61 percent to CNY 24.090 billion, according to Moomoo. The mix shows faster growth in adjacent logistics services than in the core ocean-freight business.
