TCC Group was founded in Shanghai in 1917 as Tai Chong Hsiang Company, a customs brokerage firm that rendered services in connection with the import and exports of goods from entry and clearance documentation to issues on tariff and taxation. From its first baby steps into shipping in the 1920’s, when TCC owned and operated a fleet of passenger and general cargo vessels plying the coast of China and the Yangtze River to the bulk carriers and tankers plying the oceans of the world, the Group has never strayed from the core values of “Accountability”, “Credibility”, “Reliability”, and “Trust” instituted by Mr. C.S. Koo.
About Us
PIONEERING GROWTH &
INNOVATION SINCE 1917
TCC has built up a unique business philosophy and management platform that rests upon a foundation of institutionalization, professionalism and transparency rooted in the “Family” values of caring, credibility, honour, respect, and trust. TCC to this day continues to be family-run which has contributed to the Group successfully navigating change and growth through the dynamism and nimbleness afforded to a family enterprise. This deep-rooted foundation has enabled us to grow TCC in many directions reflecting solid strategic growth in both business and management fronts.
Today, the TCC Group of companies continues to thrive on this more than one century old business philosophy and management platform.
As the Group embarks on its second century of operations, the foundation of its core shipping business continues to grow through creating new synergies with blue chip partners such as oil and ore majors, steel mills and top-notch charterers who demand unfettered commitment towards the highest standards of seaborne cargo transport. Real estate and alternative investments have also been established as growing businesses. Key real estate acquisitions in the late 2010’s through strategic partnerships established TCC Group’s real estate presence in select prime geographic areas. As TCC Group’s businesses grows and diversifies, its roots will always remain deeply and firmly embedded in the core values and principals established by our founder, Mr. C.S. Koo.
