Pacific Basin bites the bullet for Roros, $196m loss for H1
Hong Kong: Dry bulk player Pacific Basin reported a $196m first half loss mainly due to its previously announced $190m impairment charge on its ro-ro investment and also the weaker dry bulk spot market.

Revenue however rose to $703m from $610m in the previous corresponding period. Without the charge, underlying profit came up to $3m.

The core Dry Bulk division generated a net profit of $7.5m, a  2% annualised return on net assets and a positive operating cash flow of $38.1m. There were also strong contributions from PB Towage which generated a net profit of $14.1m, representing a 12% annualised return on net assets.
