Otto Marine's PATMI plummets 71% YoY for 1Q11

The shipbuilder reported a lower PATMI at S$7.0mln on the back of lower shipbuilding revenue.

In a statement, DMG Research also attributed the fall to the decline in ship chartering margin, and losses suffered by the Geophysical division, which it said “looks worrying.”

According to the analyst, the new shipbuilding order drought has led to substantial drop in revenue contribution from OM, with the current order book partly attributable to the three vessels meant for Mosvold Supply currently undergoing arbitration.

As of end Mar 2011, order book stands at S$145.9mln.

The ship chartering division also experienced a slump in 1Q11, with gross margin collapsing to 28.1% in 1Q11 compared to 63% in 1Q10 and 58% in 4Q10.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
