Cosco sinks into the red with $14.4m loss in Q1

Blame it on lower shipyard, shipping revenue.

Cosco reported a net loss of $14.4 million in the first quarter, on back of a 27% decline in turnover to $722.3 million.

The group booked lower revenues from shipyard operations and dry bulk shipping.

Turnover from shipyard business decreased 26.9% to $716.6 million, owing to lower revenue contributions from marine engineering and
ship building, partially offset by an increase in revenue from ship repair.

Turnover from dry bulk shipping and other businesses decreased 45.2% to $5.7 million in Q1 2016 on decreased charter rates.

Amidst the low crude oil prices, weak global economy and depressed shipbuilding and offshore market, Cosco expects difficult and challenging business and operating conditions to persist in 2016.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
