Production costs hit JES International's profits
Singapore: Higher production overheads and cost overruns hit shipbuilder JES International’s profits in the first quarter.

Singapore-listed JES reported a first quarter net profit of RMB14.1m down 54.5% on the same period a year ago. Revenues were up a marginal 0.9% at RMB669.2m for the first quarter.

The Chinese shipbuilder said lower profits were due to higher production overheads and cost overruns on new vessel designs.
