FSL Trust loses US$21.8m in Q2

The company recorded non-cash impairments up to US$24.1m.

First Ship Lease Trust (FSL Trust) capsizes in Q2 after it announced losing US$21.8m.

The company had a US$24.1m non-cash impairment which led to the loss.

According to FSL Trust’s financial statement, revenue fell by 17.4% YoY from US$25.3 to US$20.9m. This was mainly due to softening of rates across all sectors and bareboat agreements renewed at lower rates for some of its vessels.

Distributable income also sunk to $605,000, 86.3% lower than last year’s US$4.4m.

FSL Trust said, “Shipping markets across all sectors remain under pressure in the near term, but the financial effects should be mitigated by FSL Trust’s charter book.”

As of 30 June, FSL trust has a portfolio of 22 vessels.

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.
