I think that it will be good, but again it is going to be a long shot.....T ever said that NOL is a strategic asset. Also, if we ever sell our shipping carrier, who will ship our F-15 back.....heee.
I am OK with rights, hope they are not buying something.........

Neptune Orient Lines (NOL) (NEPS.SI), the world’s seventh largest shipping company, said its container arm APL is planning to raise freight rates on Asia-Europe trade routes starting next month, reported Thomson Reuters.
APL said it will raise its eastbound Europe to Asia leg by US$100 ($145) per container for scrap commodities such as paper, while the westbound Asia to Europe trade lane will see a rise of US$300 per twenty-foot container for all freight to the Mediterranean and North Europe. The industry has been facing slumping demand that has forced operators including NOL to reduce capacity, though policymakers have recently pointed to some signs of stabilisation in the world economy and economists are looking at shipping trade as an indicator.
“Despite the relative success of initiatives we implemented earlier this year, rates in the Asia-Europe trade are not even close to sustainable levels. We will be doing everything possible to ensure the latest rises are upheld,” said Detlev Kerber, APL’s vice-president for Asia-Europe trade.
NOL reported a worse-than-expected first quarter loss of US$245 million. It has seen its cargo volume slide by 26% from the start of the year until May 1 compared to a year ago, while average revenue per forty-foot container dropped 17% in this period.
Another news fr analyst
Neptune Orient Lines Ltd: Still in the red
Summary: Neptune Orient Lines Ltd (NOL) turned in a US$244.6m loss for 1Q09 vs. a US$120.7m profit a year ago. 1Q09 losses were wider than the US$148.5m loss incurred in 4Q08. Revenue slumped 35.9% YoY and 32.6% QoQ to US$1.5b, with all segments recording lower turnover. Key culprits for the group’s weak performance were the slump in global trade flows and deteriorating freight rates. Utilisation of its container shipping network continued falling despite the group’s capacity reduction efforts. While management has implemented cost reduction initiatives, these have yet to catch up with the group’s rapidly declining revenue. NOL expects operating conditions to remain challenging for the year ahead, and has reiterated its projection of full year losses for FY09. We are leaving out estimates unchanged. NOL’s revival hinges on the recovery of global trade flows, which remains uncertain at this juncture. Maintain SELL with S$0.815 fair value estimate. (Lee Wen Ching)
Actually got reason why wait first than buy now. Refer to below analyst report on NOL fair price.
Neptune Orient Lines Ltd: Caught in stormy seas
Summary: Neptune Orient Lines Ltd (NOL) is a global container shipping, terminals and logistics company. Its businesses are directly exposed to global economic forces. The IMF has warned that the ongoing recession could be a protracted one, painting a bleak outlook for consumer demand and global trade. The weak industry outlook is exacerbated by supply overhang and economically unviable freight rates. Having incurred a US$149m net loss in 4Q08, NOL expects net loss to widen to US$240m in 1Q09. We expect the group to incur losses for both FY09 and FY10, implying the absence of dividend payouts. A recovery of the real economy and resumption of trade flows are prerequisites for NOL’s revival. We see no near-term catalysts for the stock and initiate coverage with a SELL rating and S$0.815 fair value, based on 0.4x FY09F NTA. Risks to our assumptions include a speedier-than-expected global economic recovery and positive macro news flow which could lift sentiment. (Lee Wen Ching)
Price still progress.

Neptune Orient Lines, Southeast Asia’s largest container line, will hire as many as 200 people in Phoenix as it moves its Americas headquarters to the city as part of wider cost-cutting efforts, reported Bloomberg.
NOL intends to complete the move by the end of the third quarter as it moves its facility to cut operating expenses. The shipping line, which expects a full-year loss, has also fired staff and parked vessels to offset plunging demand for container-shipping.

NOL is not profitting in recent quarter. Will we see last time Chartered (with last time pricing, not this current charter with 10 lots consolidation) in them? Their Price keep going down.
Does NOL worth investing now? Can anyone advice?
