The latest announcement is out from SITC International Holdings Co., Ltd. ( (HK:1308) ).

SITC International has restructured ownership of a vessel-holding subsidiary by selling all shares of the target company from SITC Shipowning to related-party SITC Container Shipping for about US$12.16 million. The deal removes the target from SITC International’s consolidated accounts while keeping the asset within the wider corporate ecosystem through an exempt connected transaction under Hong Kong listing rules.

This sale-and-leaseback arrangement secures long-term operational control of the vessel for SITC’s core shipping business while optimizing balance sheet presentation and complying with reporting and announcement requirements without triggering independent shareholder approval.
