Coscol books profit in first nine months

Coscol books profit in first nine months
Cosco Shipping Co Ltd (Coscol) has stayed in the black in the first nine months, leaving behind a net loss position a year ago.

The heavylift arm of China’s Cosco Group recorded a profit of RMB191.78m ($31.31m) in the first three quarters ended 30 September 2014, as against a deficit of RMB42.79m in the previous corresponding period.

Shanghai-listed Coscol, however, registered a 3.2% year-on-year dip in revenue to RMB5.47bn.

Coscol attributed the rise in profit to stringent cost control and a more streamlined fleet.
