Ginko-AGT emerges as substantial Marco Polo shareholder

Fund sails past 5% stake threshold.

Ginko-AGT Global Growth Fund, managed by Singapore-based boutique fund manager AGT Partners, became a substantial shareholder of Marco Polo Marine after acquiring 700,100 shares for $117,980.85.

The fund’s direct interest in the offshore vessel operator rose to about 196 million shares, representing 5.006% of voting shares, according to a bourse filing.

The shares were bought through a market transaction on 2 June 2026. The notification was submitted to Marco Polo Marine on the same date.

Ginko-AGT previously held 195,244,700 shares, or a 4.988% stake, with the purchase pushing its interest past the 5% threshold for substantial shareholder disclosure.

The disclosure comes after Marco Polo Marine raised about $21m through a private share placement to fund capital expenditure and specialised vessels supporting offshore wind projects.

The company issued 144.87 million new ordinary shares at $0.145 per share, with Maybank Securities Pte. Ltd. acting as placement agent.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
