(Shanghai, April 16, 2026) — ContiOcean Environment Tech Group Co., Ltd. (“ContiOcean”, Stock Code: 2613.HK), a global leader in marine environmental protection solutions, announced the successful completion of the acquisition of the tanker “OM SHANGHAI” （ IMO Number: 9358632）. This marks a key strategic turning point in ContiOcean’s development. This milestone marks ContiOcean’s strategic transformation from a technology enterprise focused on R&D of marine environmental protection equipment into an “atypical shipowner” integrating independent R&D, real-vessel verification, and customer demonstration, opening a new path for the development of the green maritime technology industry.
Strategic Significance: A Pivotal Turning Point, Leading Green Shipping Service Upgrade
For a long time, the implementation of maritime environmental protection technology has heavily relied on external collaboration, facing issues such as long verification cycles and insufficient service coordination. The management of ContiOcean stated: 'The acquisition of "OM SHANGHAI" is an important milestone of ContiOcean. Owning our own vessels allows us to directly transform the most advanced green technologies into practical, experiential, and replicable green shipping services, providing customers with more stable, efficient, and compliant low-carbon solutions. At the same time, ContiOcean, as a shipowner, will deeply participate in the construction of a green shipping and logistics ecosystem, contributing greater strength to the industry.'
This acquisition completes ContiOcean’s strategic shift from “tech supplier” to “integrated green shipping service provider”, supporting the IMO’s decarbonization goals and advancing the global shipping industry toward carbon neutrality.
