Cosco expects to end Q2 in the red

Due to the industry downturn.

Cosco Corporation warned investors that it is expecting to book a loss for the second quarter.

Cosco said that the expected net loss is mainly attributable to the low crude oil prices over recent months which has had an adverse impact on the global offshore marine industry, the languid dry bulk shipping market which has brought great pressures to its dry bulk fleet operations and the slump in the shipbuilding market which has negatively impacted its shipyards.

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.
