Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Paul Hastings are having the lead roles on a deal that will see the Chinese government restructures assets in two state-owned container-shipping giants: China Shipping (Group) Co. and China Ocean Shipping (Group) Co., or COSCO Group.
The restructuring was approved on Dec. 11 by the Chinese State Council, following months of merger speculation.

Moller–Maersk Group, Geneva-based Mediterranean Shipping Co. S.A. and Marseille-based CMA CGM S.A.
