Otto Marine's PATMI plummets 71% YoY for 1Q11

The shipbuilder reported a lower PATMI at S$7.0mln on the back of lower shipbuilding revenue.

In a statement, DMG Research also attributed the fall to the decline in ship chartering margin, and losses suffered by the Geophysical division, which it said “looks worrying.”

According to the analyst, the new shipbuilding order drought has led to substantial drop in revenue contribution from OM, with the current order book partly attributable to the three vessels meant for Mosvold Supply currently undergoing arbitration.

As of end Mar 2011, order book stands at S$145.9mln.

The ship chartering division also experienced a slump in 1Q11, with gross margin collapsing to 28.1% in 1Q11 compared to 63% in 1Q10 and 58% in 4Q10.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
