Varun Shipping stays in the red

Varun Shipping stays in the red
Varun Shipping managed to narrow its net loss in the quarter ended 31 March 2013 even as revenues shrank.

The Mumbai-listed company posted a quarterly loss of INR477.1m ($8.7m) compared to a larger deficit of INR1.38bn in the corresponding period of 2012.

Revenue, however, fell 43.5% year-on-year to INR453.8m.

The dip in revenue was due partly to a rise in operating costs to INR629m from INR437m a year ago.

The tanker, gas carrier and offshore vessels owner saw a few of its ships arrested in the last few months over unpaid bills.
