CH Offshore records losses for third straight year

Loss after income tax narrowed 51.2% to $19.48m in 2019.

Marine support firm CH Offshore has entered its third year of consecutive losses, according to a bourse filing.

Loss after income tax hit $19.48m (US$14.06m) in FY2019, marking a 51.2% change from the previous year’s $39.88m (US$28.78m), mainly due to losses from associate companies and provision for brokers’ commission after three brokers brought an arbitration against the firm.

The firm will make an immediate announcement if the SGX puts them on the watchlist.

On the other hand, revenue ballooned 116% to $29.03m (US$20.95m) in 2019 from $13.44m (US$9.7m) in 2018 due to growth in vessel utilisation rate, better charter rates and revenue contribution from two vessels that were taken over from an associate firm in 2018.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
