In terms of news, Huayuan Securities pointed out that on October 15, according to COSCO SHIPPING Energy's announcement, the company has completed the issuance of A-shares to specific targets for 2025, with a final issuance of 694,444,444 shares at an issuance price of RMB 11.52 per share, raising a total of RMB 7,999,999,994.88 (net amount RMB 7,979,510,279.32); the issuance targets included 7 entities, including the indirectly controlling shareholder COSCO Shipping Group (subscribing for 347,222,222 shares, accounting for 50.0%, with a lock-up period of 18 months) and 6 institutions such as the National Green Development Fund and Guoxin Development. The funds raised will be used to build 6 VLCCs, 2 LNG carriers, and 3 Aframax crude oil tankers, which are expected to help optimize the fleet structure and layout of clean energy, ensuring the company's future capacity scale and market competitiveness. The firm continued to indicate that from an industry fundamental perspective, OPEC+ has accelerated production increases since April, with production quotas potentially increasing by 2.2 million barrels per day in September. The implementation of increased production is expected to drive down crude oil prices, accelerate refinery inventory replenishment during the off-season, and further boost crude oil trade demand, injecting momentum into the oil transportation market. Additionally, after the U.S. imposed port service fees on Chinese shipping companies and Chinese-built vessels, China has responded by levying a "special port fee" on U.S. vessels in accordance with regulations. Against this backdrop, the strategic value of Chinese shipping companies such as COSCO SHIPPING Energy is highlighted, which is expected to seize the initiative in international shipping competition and provide further assurance for stable performance growth ### Related Stocks - [COSCO SHIPPING Energy (600026.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/600026.CN.md) - [COSCO SHIP ENGY (01138.HK)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/01138.HK.md) ## Related News & Research - [Shares of China AI 'tiger' Zhipu surge 35% after revenue doubles in first earnings report](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281314542.md) - [Huatai Securities Reaffirms Their Buy Rating on BOC Hong Kong (Holdings) (BNKHF)](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281318016.md) - [China's detentions of Panama-flagged vessels raise concerns, Rubio says](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281541796.md) - [COSCO Shipping Vessels Stuck in Persian Gulf Despite Iran's Assurances of Safe Passage for China Ships](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281013216.md) - [Some Hong Kong taxi drivers unprepared as new e-payments rule takes effect](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281319202.md)
