Cosco Shipping Co Ltd (Coscol) said it won a major heavylift shipping and logistics contract with a large oil partnership operating in Kazakhstan.
The Chinese giant said it is subcontracting some of the work to four South Korean shipping partners: Dongbang Transport Logistics, Hanjin Transportation, CJ Korea Express and Chung Yang Shipping.
A Coscol spokesman declined to provide the identity of the company that hired it to carry out the work, but the company said that it involves the expansion of an oilfield in western Kazakhstan.
