COSCO SHIPPING Specialized Carriers (Southeast Asia) Pte. Ltd. has officially opened its Philippines Representative Office in Manila on 26 January, a move described as part of its global expansion and localisation strategy, according to COSCO SHIPPING Europe.

The company said establishing a presence in the Philippines brings it closer to customers and strengthens its ability to meet rising logistics demand driven by RCEP and deepening China–Philippines cooperation across infrastructure, energy, and equipment manufacturing.

The Manila office will operate as a forward hub for market development and project support, and it is integrated into COSCO SHIPPING’s global network to enhance service capabilities and responsiveness in the region.

COSCO SHIPPING said it remains committed to advancing localised operations and regional collaboration to support high-quality international growth.
