COSCO SHIPPING (Europe) GmbH
COSCO SHIPPING (Europe) GmbH is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in Germany under HRB 41418 Hamburg, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. The company was incorporated on 5 December 2001 and lists its registered address as Hamburg, Germany. 2 shareholders are on record for COSCO SHIPPING (Europe) GmbH, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Handelsregister (Commercial Register) and was last updated on 9 October 2026.

Shareholders
2
Two shareholders are currently on record for COSCO SHIPPING (Europe) GmbH, held on the Gesellschafterliste (shareholder list), filed under §40 of the GmbHG.
The largest of these is China COSCO Shipping Corporation Limited, holding 90.4% — a majority holding — followed by China COSCO Shipping Corporation Limited at 9.6%.
Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Officers
5
Two of the 5 officer records shown for COSCO SHIPPING (Europe) GmbH are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Xiangyang Fu (appointed 2023-05-31) serves as Geschäftsführer (managing director); Boxing Hu (appointed 2009-12-21) serves as Officer. The remaining 3 records shown (Haichao Fu, Klaus Heinrich Sahr and 1 other) are former appointments that have since been resigned.
The register reports 8 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.
Management authority at COSCO SHIPPING (Europe) GmbH sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control.
The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.
Group Structure
COSCO SHIPPING (Europe) GmbH sits 1 level below its ultimate parent, China COSCO Shipping Corporation Limited, registered in China. 6 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 5 jurisdictions. Immediately above COSCO SHIPPING (Europe) GmbH is China COSCO Shipping Corporation Limited, holding 100% as filed in COSCO SHIPPING (Europe) GmbH's own shareholder record with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.
Those 6 subsidiaries span Germany, United Kingdom, Turkey, Netherlands, Finland jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. Two of the 6 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
