Zhonggu GL Project Shanghai Zhonggu Logistics Co., Ltd. (Zhonggu or the Company) is the second largest domestic trade multimodal container transportation company in China and is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Zhonggu started as a container shipping company and gradually began to provide multimodal container transportation by supplementing railway and truck transportation after the containers arrive at the ports. It targets to provide door-to-door services for its customers. As of 30 June 2021, Zhonggu operated a fleet of 109 container vessels (40 owned and 69 leased). Capacity-wise, it had approximately 160,000 TEU of ship capacity and approximately 390,000 TEU of container capacity.   IFC is providing a green loan package of RMB 650 million to finance the Companys purchase of new vessels and various types of containers to further enhance its capacity. The green loan package is expected to comply with the International Green Loan Principles. The project will support Zhonggu in expanding its operations through investment in vessels and containers, which will strengthen its multimodal transportation services and dry bulk containerization. The main project-level outcomes are the positive stakeholder effects of supporting increased volume of domestic cargo transported by expanded shipping capacity, and increased inland connectivity by supporting the Companys strategic expansion of multimodal transportation. Moreover, by shifting transportation from roads to sea and rail, the project is also expected to lead to positive environmental outcomes. At the market level, the investment is expected to contribute to competitiveness by supporting private investments in the domestic shipping sector, and demonstrating the shift towards dry bulk containerization and multimodal transportation.
China Glass China Glass Holdings (CGH or the company), is a float glass manufacturer currently in the process of acquiring eight smaller glass companies across China. Once the acquisitions are completed, CGH will become the largest listed float glass company in China with 14 production lines and a melting capacity of 4,780 tons per day (tpd). CGH also plans to invest in a joint-venture to establish manufacturing of solar glass.   The float glass market in China is highly fragmented with currently 52 local glass manufacturers. Demand for float glass has grown at a strong CAGR of 14% between 2000 and 2005, with slowing growth in 2006. In parallel, substantial supply was added to the current stock, putting pressure on prices. The market however now appears to be stabilizing with a noticeable increase in prices in late 2006 and early 2007. Through its ongoing acquisitions, CGH will contribute to the consolidation of the flat glass sector in China, helping to reduce future volatility. The project is part of the consolidation of the fragmented float glass industry in China.  Loss making float glass SOEs are being closed and the government is selling others. This process will put the industry on a commercial basis.  In addition, as a consequence of the scale economies of a large enterprise, CGH will implement cost reductions, gain efficiency improvements and operating synergies particularly in energy utilization.  The company will also lower its unit SG&A costs by centralizing all marketing and logistic activities. The Project, with Pilkingtons shareholding will help bring more world-class technology to the glass industry in China and not only help meet the growing demand for high quality glass, but improve the efficiency/productivity in the industry.
