Ginko-AGT emerges as substantial Marco Polo shareholder

Fund sails past 5% stake threshold.

Ginko-AGT Global Growth Fund, managed by Singapore-based boutique fund manager AGT Partners, became a substantial shareholder of Marco Polo Marine after acquiring 700,100 shares for $117,980.85.

The fund’s direct interest in the offshore vessel operator rose to about 196 million shares, representing 5.006% of voting shares, according to a bourse filing.

The shares were bought through a market transaction on 2 June 2026. The notification was submitted to Marco Polo Marine on the same date.

Ginko-AGT previously held 195,244,700 shares, or a 4.988% stake, with the purchase pushing its interest past the 5% threshold for substantial shareholder disclosure.

The disclosure comes after Marco Polo Marine raised about $21m through a private share placement to fund capital expenditure and specialised vessels supporting offshore wind projects.

The company issued 144.87 million new ordinary shares at $0.145 per share, with Maybank Securities Pte. Ltd. acting as placement agent.

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.
