Seacon Shipping Group Holdings Limited has just released its second interim report since going public, showcasing not only its strong financial performance but also a staggering surge in profitability for the first half of 2024.

The Hong Kong-listed company, specializing in dry bulk, tanker, and chemical shipping services, reported a total revenue of $137.8 million, reflecting a solid 15.6% increase compared to the same period last year. However, the standout figure is the company's net profit, which soared by an extraordinary 199.8% to $32.56 million—nearly tripling the profit recorded in H1 2023. This remarkable growth is driven by the continued recovery in global trade and strategic fleet expansion.

Seacon’s shipping revenue climbed to $104.8 million, up 8.3%, while the ship management division saw an even more significant boost, with a 47.2% increase in revenue to $32.93 million. The company’s proactive approach to fleet renewal, including the sale of six vessels, has also contributed to this exceptional profit growth, generating substantial returns that further strengthen its financial position.

Looking ahead, Seacon remains committed to leveraging its solid market position to capture emerging opportunities in global trade while continuing to optimize its asset portfolio for maximum returns.

As Chairman and Executive Director Mr. Guo Jinkui noted, “Our exceptional profit growth reflects the success of our balanced approach to fleet management and strategic asset rotation. We are confident that our ongoing initiatives will continue to create significant value for our shareholders and stakeholders.”
