China Merchants Energy Shipping

摘要

The history and evolution of China Merchants Energy Shipping (CMES) is tied with the story of its parent: state-owned China Merchants Group.CMES's origins can be traced back to the founding of China Merchants Group by Li Hongzhang. A pioneer and one of the leaders of China's Self-Strengthening Movement, he set up that country's first merchant fleet in December 1872, which later became China Merchants Group, after diversifying its business into finance and real estate.
