The integration plan stipulated that CSCL will withdraw its involvement in the container shipping business and cease to operate as a carrier; instead it is destined to become a container leasing and financial-asset management company.[4] Meanwhile, COSCO Group's container shipping division; COSCO Container Lines (renamed COSCO Shipping Lines), is expected to take over as the sole operator of the vessel fleet. Furthermore, as part of the reconfiguration plan, the CSCL brand was abandoned and renamed as COSCO Shipping Development in an effort to align the company with its new identity in the merged mega-entity.[5]
