China United Lines (CUL) is a container shipping company in China. The firm was the second-largest container shipping company headquartered in China that provides both short-sea and deep-sea shipping services as per container shipping capacity at the latest practicable date, as per Alphaliner.
CUL has grown rapidly and its large proportion of vessels being chartered-in, instead of owned, has allowed it to scale its capacity to meet demand. Its partnership with Antong has worked well, allowing CUL to further expand its capacity and tap into new deep-sea routes in Europe and Transpacific. Shipping volume growth was accompanied by topline growth, and margins have been on the uptrend. However, the firm is only a small player in a concentrated market and a large proportion of vessels being chartered-in could be a drawback as ownership costs rise. The firm also appears to have made a strategic investment, just prior to the IPO.
