Blue Water Restructuring Boosts Growth


Profits of €1.3 million for 2018

Breakbulk shipping line Blue Water reported a increase in profits for 2018, citing streamlined processes and work routines as key to growth prospects.
 
The firm posted profit of €1.3 million before tax for 2018, based on turnover of €748 million. The outlook for 2019 is expected to improve further thanks to “giant contracts” for the oil consortium TCO, in which the biggest partners are Chevron and ExxonMobil.

We have a high level of activity in the different business segments, which means that we in the first quarter on group-wide level is a little ahead of the budget. This year, we expect a record profit of approx. EUR 13 million,” said Søren Nørgaard Thomsen, CEO of Blue Water.
