Singapore Shipping Corp posts full year profit of $6.07mln
Singapore Shipping Corp (SSC) made higher profit for the full year 2012 due largely to contributions from two additional vessels, Seatrade Asia online reports.
Net profit for the year ended 31 March 2012 came up to $6.07m, an increase of 8.3% from $5.6m in the previous year.
Revenue for the year amounted to $19.71m, a 25.8% increase from a year ago.
“The additional revenue contributed by the two vessels bought towards end April 2010 and early March 2011, was partially offset by loss of revenue due to off-hire of a vessel for drydocking in April 2011,” SSC said.
“The group's business model of being a tonnage supplier to blue chip operators on long-term charters, has effectively sheltered us from the negative effects of the globally depressed shipping industry and the on-going financial volatility. We intend to continue to acquire vessels under such a business model,” it added.
