Otto Marine issues profit warning
Otto Marine has issued a profit warning for the second quarter ended 30 June 2012 as it expected to report a net loss, Seatrade Asia online reports.
The anticipated losses were due largely to lower utilisation of the shipyard as less new orders were secured and losses from its seismic division because of lower utilisation of its seismic vessels.
The Singapore-listed company also blamed foreign exchange losses resulting from net negative movement of EUR against USD and SGD against USD; and the potential impairment of its investment in certain investee companies.
