Taiping Shipping will install washing equipment on 42 ships

Zhang Songsheng said in an open letter: "Because we have decided to invest heavily in washing towers, PIL's fuel problem" may worsen. "We are committed to installing scrubbers on 42 larger ships, which will cover almost half of our fuel consumption. It is understood that the installation time in some places is longer than expected.

However, by the second quarter of this year, when all scrubbers are installed on our ships, we will benefit greatly because the price difference between 0.5% sulfur fuel and high sulfur fuel oil is larger than expected.

We take a strategic position on this, and we believe that once all ships equipped with scrubbers are put into use, we will benefit a lot. "

Zhang Songsheng responded to the suspension of Taiping Shipping's bonds in 2017:

You mean that the planned 2017 USD bond issuance has been suspended. In fact, PIL fully redeemed S $ 300 million of bonds in July 2017, and we also issued S $ 60 million of bonds in November 2017. Despite market difficulties, we have fully subscribed. In 2018, we explored the idea of ​​U.S. dollar bonds, but due to the unfavourable market environment at the time, we postponed the plan.

班 Liner shipping has been in difficult times for the past few years, but PIL has overcome these challenges. We and other liner companies are now in a good position to benefit from the market recovery. We remain optimistic about our business and industry prospects.
