COSCO SHIPPING Ports has reported its financial and operational results for the year ended December 31, 2025, highlighting resilient performance despite ongoing global trade uncertainties and shifting supply chain dynamics.
The company recorded steady revenue growth, supported by stable throughput across its global terminal portfolio. Total container throughput rose year-on-year, driven by improving trade volumes in key regions and continued expansion of its overseas terminal network.
Profit attributable to equity holders showed moderate growth, reflecting disciplined cost management and contributions from newly operational and upgraded terminals. The company emphasized that efficiency improvements and digitalisation initiatives played a crucial role in maintaining margins amid inflationary pressures and fluctuating freight demand.
Throughput at major domestic terminals in China remained stable, while overseas assets delivered stronger growth, particularly in regions benefiting from supply chain diversification. The company noted that its strategic investments in ports along key trade corridors continued to enhance its global footprint.
Looking ahead, COSCO SHIPPING Ports said it will focus on strengthening its terminal network, advancing smart port development, and deepening collaboration within the COSCO SHIPPING Corporation Limited ecosystem. The company also plans to prioritise green port initiatives and sustainability measures in line with global environmental standards.
Despite geopolitical tensions and economic headwinds, management expressed cautious optimism for 2026, citing gradual recovery in global trade and ongoing infrastructure investments as key growth drivers.
