1. Container Logistics

Container logistics is the core business of Zhonggu Shipping Group, professionally operated by its holding listed subsidiary—Shanghai Zhonggu Logistics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhonggu Logistics," Stock Code: 603565.SH). As a leading enterprise in China's domestic container shipping industry, Zhonggu Logistics accounts for more than a quarter of the nation's domestic container market share, with its fleet capacity ranked as high as 13th globally among container ship companies.

Currently, the company efficiently operates nearly 100 ships, with a total capacity of nearly 3.2 million DWT, and has a container capacity of 400,000 TEU, including specialized reefer container transport services. Its service network covers dozens of provinces and over 100 ports across China, extending to more than 109 ports in nearly 38 countries and regions overseas.
