SOS: Lower rates hurt NOL

Container shipping volumes went up but average revenue per Forty-foot Equivalent Unit dropped 17%.

For the 4 weeks from 2 July 2011 to 29 July 2011, container shipping volumes increased 7% over the same period last year mainly due to higher volumes carried on the Intra-Asia and Asia-Europe trade lanes.

Average revenue per FEU, however, declined 17% mainly due to lower rates in the Asia-Europe trade and greater Intra-Asia mix.

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.
