STOLT-NIELSEN LTD had a disappointing end to its 2018 financial year, which ended up with operating profit off by 3.8 per cent compared to 2017 at $187.1m, despite a 6.4 per cent increase in revenues to $2.1 bn. Net profit, however, rose 7.8 per cent to $54.0m. The chemical tanker market remains challenging, says Niels G Stolt-Nielsen, CEO. Stolt Tankers posted an operating profit of $66.6m for the year to end November 2018, down from $111.0m for the previous year, with the fourth quarter showing a sharp drop in profitability from $21.4m in the third quarter to $7.7m.
