Maybulk’s 1QFY18 net loss more than halved to RM14.34mil from RM33.21mil a year ago, thanks to improved charter rates from the dry bulk segment, and reduced losses from its associate, PACC Offshore Services Holdings Ltd (POSH).
MISC saw its 1QFY18 net profit fall 54.1% on-year on lower contribution across all business segments.
