STX PO downgrades Singapore listing status

STX PO downgrades Singapore listing status
Singapore: South Korea's STX Pan Ocean will downgrade its listing status on the Singapore Exchange from 8 March 2013.

The shipping company will change from a primary listing to a secondary listing this Friday.

STX PO, which is also listed in Seoul, did not explain the reasons for the listing status change.

STX PO had posted a huge 2012 full year net loss of $418.29m due to low freight rates and high bunker fuel prices. It also recorded a deficit of $18.67m in 2011.

The company's Singapore shares traded down 10% to SGD5.20 ($4.20) per lot at the close of Monday.
