On the revenue side, the company recorded an increase\nof 54% to US$17.71 million in 2025, compared to US$11.46 million in the\nprevious year. This growth was primarily supported by increased activity\nin the vessel charter segment, as new projects were secured and fleet\nutilisation improved.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Executive Officer of Newport Marine Services, Sujaya Soekarno\nPutra, stated that the performance improvement reflects the\neffectiveness of the company\u2019s commercial and operational strategy in\ncapturing opportunities within the maritime services sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis growth was driven by increased charter vessel activity,\nresulting from the successful acquisition of new projects, which led to\nimproved fleet utilisation,\u201d said Sujaya.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, the company plans to continue strengthening business\nactivities whilst implementing a measured expansion strategy,\nparticularly in the offshore sector, which is considered to have\npositive prospects.<\/p>\n<p>From a financial perspective, the company also recorded a decrease in\ninterest expenses following reduced bank borrowings, which further\nimproved profitability. Additionally, operating margin and EBITDA showed\nimprovement aligned with cost efficiency and increased fleet\nutilisation.<\/p>\n<p>Operating cash flow also experienced significant improvement,\nreaching US$5.03 million in 2025, compared to US$2.32 million in the\nprevious year.

This has also driven demand for\noffshore support vessel services. With this trend, the company is\noptimistic about sustaining growth through increased commercial\nactivity, fleet optimisation, and discipline in financial\nmanagement.<\/p>",
