Marco Polo suffered net losses of S$309.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2017, and said it expected to record net losses for the full year.
Losses mainly due to lower utilisation rates of the group's vessels and lower charter rates, decreased revenues from the shipbuilding business and various impairment charges, the company said in October last year.
Shares in Marco Polo slumped 3.8 percent to S$0.05 on the Singapore Exchange. About 30 million shares changed hands compared to a 30-day average of 28 million.
