Mercator targets 70% turnover from non-ship biz

08 Sep 2010 Evaluate

Mercator Lines, the second-largest shipping firm in India, is eyeing more than 70% of its turnover from non-shipping verticals as against 33% in the last fiscal. It has also lined up huge capital expenditure plans if contracts materialise. Of its non-shipping verticals, offshore contributed 9% of the turnover last fiscal and coal mining and trading 24%. According to sources, Mercator has planned a total capital expenditure of around $500 million for the current fiscal. However, these investments will also depend on the number of contracts the company wins across segments.

It has presence in both coal and offshore segments. The company’s turnover share from these sectors has steadily increased in the past few years. In 2009-10, Mercator’s operating income comprised 25% from the tanker segment, 38% from dry bulk and 4% from dredging.
