NOL charts new direction

Its strategy now is chartering 70% of overall capacity, making it flexible to reduce fleet count during a slowdown.

Phillip Securities Research noted:

With the large amount of orders placed, we see a significant change in strategy for NOL. The company currently charters 70% of their overall capacity, which gives them slightly more flexibility to reduce their fleet count during a slowdown. However, this exposes them to increases in charter rates during periods of economic expansion. With 40% of their charters expiring over the next few years, we expect NOL to own 55% of their overall capacity by the end of FY13. In using larger vessels, NOL would also be able to achieve better economies of scale by lowering their average unit costs.

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.
