Comments:
1) 9M2016 revenue, NPAT and OCF already exceeded that of FY2015, with full charter income from the 3 vessels.
2) Agency and logistics business will remain profitable, albeit challenging.
3) Quarterly revenue from ship owning seemed stabilized at 9.209 m.
4) The group has generated OCF of 20.225 m in 9M2016, more than enough to cover (yearly repayment of bank borrowing + interest payment + dividend payment) of about 18 m, with excess OCF available for investment (acquisition of more vessels.)
5) Given its strong cash position, the Group is ready to undertake further acquisitions should any of the opportunities meet our investment criteria.

The dividend track records are there to be seen. There might well be good reasons for keeping capital. The thing is, the communication of the reason is not there.

If you are investing with your partner in business and he cut dividend. Wouldn't you need to be informed the reason why? Unless your partner do not see you as part owner?

The business of RORO is leasing ship. So it will be stable.

There wont be dividend increase, as the new CEO already says he want to double fleet.
The dream outcome will be additional 20 yr lease for a new roro ship addition, and increase in dividend.

If this comes true, it is like strike 4D.

I believe the stability came with the risks, may not be applicable now but it may in future:
1. Currency risk, US$
2. Counterparty
3. Inflation

Looking at UMS & UPP's results, point 1 maybe apllicable for SSC's Q1 result.

Point one not valid as ssc report in usd. The only risk is changing usd to sing for dividend
