On the cover of the latest issue of SinoShip magazine is Ma Zehua, the conservative president of Cosco Group. In a rare interview, Ma, who has been at the helm of China’s largest maritime conglomerate for 15 months, discusses how his company can reverse its epic losses. Also in the dual language publication are interviews with China’s top roro operator, Ansheng plus the plans for the nation’s newest shipowner, Hezhong. Within the regular departments of the magazine, economist Paul French analyses the reality behind Sino-US trade, a far cry from the recent US presidential rhetoric. Elsewhere, chief correspondent looks at China’s drillship building ambitions, while there is discussion about what the transport landscape will be under the leadership of Xi Jinping.
