COSCO SHIPPING Ports Expands Footprint With Major Thai Port Acquisition
TLT and HLT are currently the largest terminal operators in the Laem Chabang port area. Laem Chabang Port is located in the southeast of Bangkok City, Thailand, about 60 nautical miles from Bangkok Port. It is the largest deep-water port in Thailand and the most important international container hub port in Thailand, accounting for about 80% of Thailand's national throughput. The Thai government strongly supports the development of Laem Chabang Port and continues to promote infrastructure projects such as the Eastern Economic Corridor of Thailand project. Laem Chabang Port is currently the main port of call for COSCO SHIPPING and OOCL dual-brands ships in Thailand.COSCO SHIPPING Ports Limited ("COSCO SHIPPING Ports" or the "Company") announced the acquisition of a 12.5% stake in Thai Laemchabang Terminal Co., Ltd. ("TLT") and a 30% stake in Hutchison Laemchabang Terminal Limited ("HLT"), both located at Laem Chabang Port, Thailand.

TLT和HLT目前是萊姆查班港區最大的碼頭運營商。萊姆查班港位於泰國曼谷市東南約60海里處，是泰國最大的深水港，也是泰國最重要的國際集裝箱樞紐港，佔泰國國家吞吐量的約80%。泰國政府大力支持萊姆查班港的發展，並不斷推動基礎設施項目，如泰國東部經濟走廊項目。萊姆查班港目前是中遠海運和東方海外（OOCL）雙品牌船隻在泰國的主要停靠港口。
The acquisition is poised to fortify the economic and trade ties between China and Thailand, while also enabling COSCO SHIPPING Ports to refine its terminal resource distribution and bolster the synergy between port operations and shipping services. This move will enhance collaboration with COSCO SHIPPING's dual-brands vessels and key shipping entities in Thailand and across Southeast Asia, thereby elevating local logistics extension capabilities. By doing so, it aims to deliver superior integrated services to customers and transition the port from a singular-function terminal into a comprehensive logistics supply chain hub.
此次收購有望加強中國與泰國之間的經濟和貿易聯繫，同時使中遠海運港口能夠優化其碼頭資源分配，增強港口運營與航運服務之間的協同作用。這一舉措將提升與中遠海運的雙品牌船舶及泰國和東南亞各主要航運實體的合作，從而提高當地的物流延伸能力。通過這樣做，旨在爲客戶提供優質的綜合服務，將港口從單一功能的碼頭轉變爲綜合物流供應鏈中心。
COSCO SHIPPING Ports views this acquisition as strategically significant and promising for market expansion. It is expected to consistently elevate the efficiency of the company's global network services, positioning COSCO SHIPPING Ports as a "customer-centric, globally leading port logistics service provider."
中遠海運港口將此次收購視爲戰略上具有重要意義且有助於市場擴展的舉措。預計這將持續提升公司全球網絡服務的效率，使中遠海運港口成爲"以客戶爲中心、全球領先的港口物流服務提供商。"
