Chong Chon Gang Shipping Company

Chong Chon Gang Shipping Company, a North Korean state‑affiliated operator, runs a modest fleet comprising two Aframax crude oil tankers (≈120 000 dwt total), three Handy‑size bulk carriers (≈30 000 dwt total) and a feeder container vessel offering about 5 000 TEU capacity. It handles regional trade in the Yellow Sea, Sea of Japan and Indian Ocean, moving coal, iron ore and refined petroleum for domestic and allied customers. Subsidiaries, aligned with the Ministry of Light Industry, support sanctioned‑busting logistics and ship‑to‑ship transfers. All vessels fly the North Korean flag and appear in UN Sanctions Committee reports, confirming their role in state‑controlled maritime logistics. References: UN Sanctions List↗, Wikipedia – Shipping↗.
