HIGHLIGHTS

           

This is the second largest shipping company, next to NYK Lines, involved in air-sea-land intermodal transport, operating a total fleet of 861 vessels of 599 million deadweight tons.  Founded originally as OSK Lines, based in Osaka, and in 1964 merged with Mitsui Steamship Co Ltd, to rename Mitsui OSK Ltd (MOL), and in 1999, absorbed Navix Lines, Tokyo to become one of the world’s largest shipping firms in fields of liners, trampers and tankers.  Operating fleet consists of container ships, car carriers, oil/chemical tankers, tramp vessels, LNG carriers, passenger ships, tug boats, etc.  Highly competitive in field of iron ore and other energy carries.  Also offers total shipping services, as a group, such as harbor operations & customs clearance, tug boat operations, cargo forwarding, stevedoring, warehousing & logistics, etc.  The firm sold own vessels ordered at high prices prior to the collapse of Lehman Brothers, while returning high-cost chartered vessels before charter agreements expire thereby to improve prime costs. 

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The revenues for Mar/2010 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,347,964 million, a 27.8% down from Yen 1,865,802 million in the previous term.  In the second half of fiscal 2008 and first half of fiscal 2009, the marine transport industry was forced to navigate in market conditions that were akin to zero visibility.  Demand plunged by several dozen percent.  By Divisions, Trampers down 27.8% to Yen 723,200 million; Containers down 31.9% to Yen 468,000 million; Ferry & Coastal Transportation down 6.7% to Yen 51,000 million.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 24,234 million and the net profit at Yen 12,722 million, respectively, compared with Yen 204,510 million recurring profit and Yen 126,987 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

           

(Apr/Dec/2010 results): Sales Yen 1,180,474 million (up 19.8%), operating profits Yen 108,309 million (up from Yen 2,388 million), recurring profit Yen 105,625 million (up from Yen 3,758 million), net profit Yen 56,083 million (up from Yen 2,207 million).  (% & figures compared with the corresponding period a year ago).

           

For the current term ending Mar 2011 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 120,000 million and the net profit at Yen 57,000 million, on 13.5% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,530,000 million.  In container vessels and bulk carriers freight rate hike is greater than expected.  Operating profits will gain sharply, despite a heavy blow of the Yen.  A special loss will emerge on sale and return of ships.  The foreign exchange rate is assumed at Yen 80 to the dollar, with 1-Yen rise against the dollar causes profits to decrease by Yen 900 million.

           

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements. Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 40,464.0 million, on 30 days normal terms.
