Marco Polo Marine Q1 gross profit jumps 32% on wind fleet expansion

Fleet additions support revenue gains and operational efficiency.

Marco Polo Marine Ltd. recorded a 32% increase in gross profit to $14.0m for the first quarter ended 31 December 2025, achieving a gross profit margin of 43%.

Total revenue rose 27% to $32.8m, driven by a 53% jump in ship chartering revenue to $23.2m. Fleet utilisation reached 76%, up from 71% in the previous year.

The company attributed chartering growth to fleet additions in the second half of financial year 2025, including the commissioning service operation vessel MP Wind Archer and three crew transfer vessels.

Shipyard revenue declined 9% to $9.6m due to fewer shipbuilding projects, partially offset by higher ship repair activity.

The group is developing a second commissioning service operation vessel (CSOV), the CSOV Plus, with Salt Ship Design AS. The MP Wind Archer also received the Offshore Energy Vessel of the Year Award 2026.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
