Neptune Orient Lines’ losses jumped 241% to $352m in FY14

This is its third consecutive year of losses.

Neptune Orient Lines reported that its net loss jumped to $352m (US$260m) in FY14, up 241% compared to the $103m (US$76m) net loss that it posted in the preceding financial year.

This marks the third consecutive year of losses for the shipping line. NOL declared no dividends for FY14,

 “While we are seeing some benefits from the current trend of lower bunker prices, the longer term impact of the drop in fuel price on container freight rates is uncertain. More port congestion, resulting from further deterioration in the labour situation on the US West Coast, is a potential risk factor,” said NOL Group CEO Ng Yat Chung.

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.
