In the first three quarters of this year, the net profit after tax reached NT $ 304.351 billion (about 9.54 billion US dollars), an annual increase of 92%.
Regarding the annual views, Xie Huiquan said that the overall revenue performance in the first half of this year was bright; affected by the high inflation and the conflict of Russia and Ukraine, the traditional peak season should be mediocre in the third quarter, and the revenue also declined compared to the previous two quarters; Due to the imbalance of supply and demand, the revenue in the fourth quarter will fall again. But as a whole, there will still be good performance throughout the year.
Looking forward to 2023, Xie Huiquan said that the development of the shipping market still depends on supply and demand. In terms of demand, it depends on the trend of US dollars, inflation and Russia and Ukraine. In terms of supply, the delivery of new ships in 2023 will increase the capacity of 8.2%, and port congestion relief can release 5-7%of the cabin supply. In addition, the implementation of environmental protection regulations will absorb some of the market capacity, so the actual increase in supply is not as serious as everyone thinks. Overall, it is relatively conservative but not pessimistic about the shipping market in 2023.
