The forecast was based on 2009 earnings, the company said in a Hong Kong stock exchange statement late Wednesday. Cosco Shipping Co, a unit of 皇冠体育app's largest shipping group, predicted 42 million yuan in savings on a similar basis.

皇冠体育app introduced the tax exemption for airlines and shipping lines from Jan 1, covering both passenger and cargo services, according to a Ministry of Finance statement. The government has also bailed out state-controlled airlines after debts and competition caused losses.
