Cosco Blacklisted in the US: Impact on the Global Logistics Market
1. Cosco blacklisted in the US: What it means for logistics
Cosco, China’s largest ocean shipping line and the world’s fourth-largest container operator, has been blacklisted by the US Department of Defense under the Defense Reauthorization Act (Section 1260H). This list identifies companies suspected of having ties to the Chinese military.
Although the move does not impose specific penalties, it could damage Cosco’s reputation and impact its ability to work with US partners, resulting in compliance challenges, increased costs, and reputational risks.
2. Cosco maintains its business unaffected
Cosco has stated that its US operations remain unaffected despite the blacklisting. The company’s two US offices, Cosco Shipping Lines North America Inc. (Houston) and Cosco Shipping America (Long Beach), are not included on the list.
“We continue to provide high-quality shipping services in the US without any barriers,” a Cosco representative emphasized.
3. Impact on the global logistics industry
According to Freightwaves, Cosco’s blacklisting is part of escalating tensions between the US and China, extending beyond ocean shipping to industries like shipbuilding, oil trading, and telecommunications. The potential implications include:
- Higher compliance and security costs for businesses working with Cosco.
- A potential shift in market share to other carriers such as Maersk, CMA CGM, or Evergreen.
For Vietnamese exporters and importers, this scenario also presents an opportunity to partner with reliable carriers, reducing supply chain risks and enhancing operational stability.
