No, I’m thinking of the COSCO Shipping ships I always see. I knew 10 years ago they were separate companies. Just like Sysco is different from Cisco. Now if you told me Sysco is a Chinese company, I would be surprised.

The name is all caps.. should be your first hint that name is of a company from a non English country origin. They do have a North America entity headquartered in NJ https://na.coscoshipping.com/
