SOS: Lower rates hurt NOL

Container shipping volumes went up but average revenue per Forty-foot Equivalent Unit dropped 17%.

For the 4 weeks from 2 July 2011 to 29 July 2011, container shipping volumes increased 7% over the same period last year mainly due to higher volumes carried on the Intra-Asia and Asia-Europe trade lanes.

Average revenue per FEU, however, declined 17% mainly due to lower rates in the Asia-Europe trade and greater Intra-Asia mix.

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.
