Nam Cheong sees profit decline by 87% YoY in H1 2025

Revenue also went down by 11% YoY in the same period.

Nam Cheong Limited, an offshore vessel provider, has reported an attributable profit (PATMI) of $29.2m (RM79.6m) in the first half of 2025, down 87% year-on-year (YoY).

The group’s revenue also declined by 11% YoY to $84.6m (RM278.2m) in H1 2025.

According to the group, the decline was due to lower vessel utilisation rates as the fleet underwent preparations for the commencement of the secured long-term charters in the second half of 2025.

The group’s gross profit dipped by 3% YoY to $42.95m (RM141.3m) while gross margin expanded by 4 percentage points to 51%, largely driven by lower vessel maintenance expenditures.

Nam Cheong said its core profit remains stable at $24.44m (RM80.4m) in H1 2025.

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.
