Winland Ocean Shipping Reports 2010 Results
Revenues and Net Income Increased Sharply Over Last Year
HONG KONG, March 30, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Winland Ocean Shipping Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: WLOL), a global shipping Company, today announced full year 2010 financial results, including revenue increased strongly to $74.3 million, up 48.1% over 2009 revenue of $50.2 million, and net income increased sharply to $3.1 million from a loss in 2009.
The Company attributed the improved revenues to the expansion of fleet size and management strategies on utilization of large tonnage chartering vessel. The Company also benefited from continuing improvements in global economy and shipping industry.
"Our results in 2010 were exceptional," stated Miss. Xue Ying, CEO. "The average Baltic Dry Index ("BDI") increased only 5.3% while the Company's revenue significantly increased 48.1% which has well outperformed BDI for the comparable years. The increase benefited from the Company's advantages on vessel management and shipping operation. It also evidenced that expanding capacity directly improved the Company's earning. We believe our initiative on expansion of capacity will continue to develop us to more profitable position. The Company completed a vessel purchase in late 2009."
"Our new vessel delivered in January 2011 reflects our commitment to grow the Company," added Mr. Li Honglin, President. "We are expecting another new vessel to be delivered by April 15, 2011. With the global economy in recovery, especially the steady growth of the Chinese economy, we believe that a cyclical uptrend within the shipping industry is coming. We are looking forward to another year of growth and strong financial performance."
