Neptune Orient Lines books $14.5m loss in Q1

Due to the challenging shipping market.

Neptune Orient Lines booked a net loss of $14.5m (US$11m) in the first quarter.

This is 89% smaller than the net loss of $129.5m (US$98m) that it booked in the same quarter last year.

NOL managed to narrow its losses through capacity management and improved cost and operational efficiencies.

“While congestion in the US West Coast is easing, the liner industry continues to face persistent over-capacity and
uncertain global economic prospects,” said NOL Group President and 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.
