--FILE-- Container ship Cosco Kaohsiung loaded with Cosco containers is pictured at a port in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, 24 October 2010. The future of the state-owned China Ocean Shipping Group, the largest integrated shipping company in the country, is looking troubled after its major shareholders and the government cut off all financial support in the fourth quarter last year after the firm reporting tremendous losses between 2011-2012. The firm excelled at a profit of around US$3.1 billion and US$1.7 billion in 2007 and 2008, after being listed in the Hong Kong and Shanghai stock exchanges but its blind expansion and negligence of risk led to losses in 2009 when the world economy plummeted into recession, according to the Guangdong-based 21st Century Business Herald. The firm made a loss of US$1.6 billion in 2011 and another US$1.02 billion over the first three quarters in 2012.
