SILK Holdings Bhd is confident the company will be able to return to profitability in a couple of years as traffic volume picks up for its tolled highway operations and an improvement in the marine support services.
Chairman Datuk Mohd Azlan Hashim said on Friday, Oct 28 that "we expect with the continued increase in traffic flow in that area, these losses will eventually be wiped out and there will be a turnaround in profitability".
The highway division’s loss of RM26 million for the financial year ended July 31, 2010 was reduced to RM19 million in FY11, he told reporters after the AGM.
He said the decline in losses, coupled with a continued increase in traffic flow in the Kajang area, SILK Holdings would be able to make a profit in the next couple of years.
On their marine support services division, he said group was expanding its fleet and renewing with more modern vessels. Currently, they own 14 vessels and expect to acquire a few more vessels in the next few months.
Azlan said that the oil and gas sector in Malaysia is an exciting area to be in as it was one of the national key economic areas to be developed under the Economic Transformation Programme.
