On October 12, OOIL rose 3.59% in regular trading, trading at 159.1 Hong Kong dollars. The move came after shipping giant Maersk announced an increase in its emergency fuel surcharge to 20%, effective October 12, boosting sentiment across container shipping stocks.
Maersk attributed the surcharge hike to rising fuel costs driven by ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The announcement follows a round of post-holiday rate increase notices from multiple shipping lines, with market expectations of stabilizing freight rates gaining traction. OOIL's third-quarter operating summary showed liner revenue rose 45.1% year-over-year to $3.285 billion, while total liftings increased 9.0% and average revenue per TEU climbed 33.1%, providing fundamental support for the share price.
OOIL is an investment holding company principally engaged in container transportation and logistics. Its liner network covers major routes across the Pacific, Atlantic, Asia-Europe, Asia-Australia and intra-Asia regions. The company also provides integrated services for the management and control of efficient cargo storage and flow.
