NOL still taking on losses, US$10mln sunk in the first quarter

Still, it's an improvement from the US$98 million lost during the same period in 2010, but shows the shipper still has work to do to right its operations.

With market conditions remaining uncertain, NOL has issued this outlook: “Increased operating costs – particularly related to fuel cost increases -- and competitive pressure on rates are expected to continue for the near term. Should these conditions persist, our results will be negatively impacted.”

Meanwhile the global transportation company’s focus will still be on operating efficiency, cost reduction, and high vessel utilization.

President and CEO Ronald D. Widdows said these have interrupted NOL’s momentum in spite of year-over-year volume growth.

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.
