"We are at the edge of loss since exports decreased with yuan's appreciation," said Zhang Zuohai, general manager of China Container Line (Shanghai) Ltd.
According to Zhang, the company is losing its clients from Europe and the United States since some of them have turned to cheaper markets such as India and Vietnam.
Recently, China's shipping stocks have been in bad performance also.
