Otto Marine issues Q1 profit warning

Otto Marine issues Q1 profit warning
Singapore: Singapore-listed Otto Marine has issued a profit warning for the first quarter ended 31 March 2012 due largely to unfavourable currency exchange rates and lower vessels utilisation.

Otto Marine said the volatility in foreign exchange rates of Euro dollar against the US dollar, and US dollar against Singapore dollar has worked against the company's bottom-line.

The company added that its part-owned subsidiary Reflect Geophysical going through operational consolidation and re-organisation have resulted in lower utilisation of one of the seismic vessels and demobilising two chartered seismic vessels back to owners.
