During the quarter, the Group also observed a growth in market share due to an increase in demand. The Group’s shipyard was operating near full capacity at an average utilisation rate of 86% in 3QFY2022.

    As for the ship chartering segment, demand for the Group’s vessels remains strong, driven by both the oil and gas and offshore windfarm sector. During the quarter, the Group also saw an increase in revenue due to (i) a significant increase in average charter rates, (ii) increase in average utilisation rates for vessels and (iii) consolidation of revenue from PT BBR and PKRO which the Group holds a 70.7% and 49% stake in, respectively.

    Outlook

    Marco Polo Marine remains optimistic about its prospects in the year ahead as the Group expects a strong finish to the year on the back of rising demand from end customers for both the shipyard and ship chartering segments.

    On the shipyard front, the Group continued to see robust demand from its end customers for ship repairs, with the Group receiving more ship repair orders in advance.

    In terms of ship chartering, the Group continued to see strong momentum and demand from end customers. Since the acquisition of Taiwan-based PKR offshore, the Group has cemented its leadership as one of the leading vessel service providers supporting the Taiwan offshore windfarm market. Currently, the Group is managing a fleet of third-party vessels, including five of the Group’s thirteen OSVs which are chartered to service the offshore windfarm sector in Taiwan.

    “Our quarter financial results continued to demonstrate our ability to manage our business effectively despite the challenging operating environment. It is a positive quarter for the Group, as we fired on all cylinders with strong operational performance recorded from both the shipyard and ship chartering segments. This is also the first quarter where we saw contributions from our recent acquisitions, which have positively impacted the Group’s top and bottom line.” said Sean Lee, CEO of Marco Polo Marine. “The offshore windfarm sector continues to present tremendous opportunities for the Group. By tapping on our proven track record, the Group is looking to expand both its geographical presence and services provided for the offshore windfarm sector.” he added.
