STX Pan Ocean posts huge loss

STX Pan Ocean posts huge loss
Seoul: South Korea's STX Pan Ocean sank deeper into the red as it posted a full year net loss of $418.29m in 2012 due to low freight rates and high bunker fuel prices.

STX PO had registered a deficit of $18.67m in 2011.

Revenue for the year ended 31 December 2012 dropped to $4.81bn from $5.18bn in the previous year, the shipping firm said in a statement to the stock exchange.

STX PO blamed the poor results on “decreased sale and profit due to decreased freight and increased bunker price.”
