The company stated that under the new leadership, the company will strengthen its partnerships with its stakeholders, scrutinise debt collection to manage cash flow, review purchasing strategies and ensure effective inventory management.

Soon Lian Holdings said: “With erratic market conditions, low historical oil prices, geopolitical challenges and currency fluctuations present in the foreseeable future, the company recognises that it is vital to prioritise stability before growth. The company will safeguard a healthy cash flow position and monitor market developments in demand and supply trends.”

It added that even though the group has witnessed and overcome a few financial crises - the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, the 2007 global financial crisis and the 2015 oil price crash - the current impact of Covid-19 will be of greater magnitude.

The new leadership team plans to pursue stable and sustainable growth with a “moderate level of risk”. Singapore will remain as the group’s base, with opportunities to strengthen its support for local and regional marine and semiconductor customers.

“With eroding profit margins in steel shipbuilding and the industry’s sustained interest in achieving both cost and technical advantages, the company is optimistic that there will be more steel shipyards expanding into aluminium vessels and additional industry players in the local and regional market in the next decades.”
