Basic loss per share increased to 1.81 Singapore cents (2024: 0.25 cents).

Outlook Management noted ongoing weakness in global trade, rising operating costs and falling cargo volumes, particularly in Singapore’s trade-related sectors. In response, the Group is adopting a cautious stance on expansion and is evaluating strategic options, including a potential sale of the business, while also exploring opportunities in power-line and energy-saving services to diversify revenue streams.
