Chu Kong Shipping Enterprises (Group) Company Limited reported its interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Group recorded a consolidated revenue of HK$1.315 billion, marking a decrease of 5.3% compared to the same period last year. Profits attributable to the equity holders of the Company amounted to HK$26.662 million, representing a significant decline of 60.3% from the previous year. The performance was negatively impacted by several factors, including escalating global trade frictions due to tariff disputes, intensifying geopolitical conflicts, and uncertainties in the global economy. The maritime industry in Hong Kong experienced sluggish conditions, with container handling volumes reaching multi-year lows. Additionally, the prolonged downturn in Mainland China's real estate sector contributed to further deterioration in the sand and gravel bulk cargo market. The Group's terminal navigation logistics business faced adverse conditions, worsened by these global challenges. Furthermore, the opening of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link and the development of an integrated transportation network in the Greater Bay Area increased operational pressures on the Group's cross-border waterway passenger transportation and related ancillary businesses.
