Hong Kong-listed intra-Asia liner operator SITC has issued a profit warning for fiscal 2022 as early indications within the unaudited results suggest a net profit in excess of US$1,900m. The current figure compares with US$1,167.2m profit earned in 2021, which was in turn an increase of 230% compared to 2020.
The company attributes the outstanding result to the combined effect of the relative stability of freight rates maintained by the provision of high-quality services; the strategic focus of continuous expansion of businesses in the Asian market; the enhancement of cost leading advantage by asset allocation through the utilization of
cycles.

These trade lanes and land-based integrated logistics business network covered 75 major ports in the Mainland China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Bengal, Myanmar, and Russia.
