Asia’s airports take the lead at inter airport Southeast Asia 2025 kicks off the conference, driving conversations on the future of airport operations and passenger experience

Set to welcome 4,000 airport professionals, 150 international exhibitors, 4 dynamic pavilions, and 53 speakers from 66 countries and regions, IASEA 2025 is poised to shape the future of airport operations and passenger experience throughout the next 3 daysSINGAPORE, Mar 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The much-anticipated inter airport Southeast Asia (IASEA) 2025 has officially opened today at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, bringing together key airport industry stakeholders, global solution providers, and leading experts to shape the future of airport operations and passenger experience.Themed “Airport Operations for Tomorrow”, conversations surrounding these topics are especially crucial as the aviation industry is witnessing rapid transformation and projected global passenger traffic to reach 19.5 billion by 2042.Day 1 morning highlights: Keynotes and expert insightsThe opening day of IASEA 2025 set an exciting tone with thought-provoking discussions and visionary insights from industry leaders. The fireside chat on 'Reshaping Global Airport Operations', led by Patrick Ky, CEO, International Centre for Aviation Innovation (ICAI) and moderated by Glory Wee, Senior Director, Aviation Development Group, Civil Aviation Authority Singapore (CAAS), discussed the fundamental shift they anticipate airport operations will face and how airports must evolve to balance the imperatives of efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. When asked to share one game-changing technology that will redefine the industry, Patrick Ky shared that “innovation that drives data sharing will be key”, but that would require many regulatory aspects and willingness from airports to share with each other. This would take time, but it is key to building a stronger future. “It is clear from our discussion that in order to reshape airport operations, it is not just about technological advancements but also about setting standards, data integrity, collaborations, and sharing best practices. Above all, the industry needs to work towards building trust with partners and eco-system players,” said Glory Wee, Senior Director, Aviation Development Group, Civil Aviation Authority Singapore (CAAS). At the show, leading airports, including Narita International Airport Corporation, and Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), presented case studies highlighting their technological integrations, regional growth strategies, and efforts to meet rising demand while enhancing passenger experience. Shinichiro Motomiya, General Manager, Narita International Airport Corporation, presented the ‘New Narita Airport’ expansion project for the 2030s, which includes extending an existing runway, constructing a new runway, improving connectivity into the city, building a new cargo area, and consolidating this into a single terminal to accommodate the expected increase of passenger capacity from 57 to 75 million and cargo capacity from 2.4 to 3.5 million tons at Narita International Airport.Separately, Vietnam’s aviation sector is experiencing rapid growth, with domestic travel projected to increase by over 20% from 2023 to 2027. To meet this soaring demand, Nguyen Dang Minh, Director of Airport Operations Department, Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), shared ACV’s master plan to develop a robust and resilient airport network by 2050. By 2030, ACV will equip 30 airports across the country with a combined capacity to handle 275.9 million passengers and 4.1 million tons of cargo annually. By 2050, the network will expand to 33 airports (14 international and 19 domestic), ensuring that 97% of the population has access to an airport within 100 kilometres. The total investment for this extensive development is estimated to reach 420,000 billion VND.At the heart of this transformation is the Long Thanh International Airport project, positioned as a key national aviation hub and one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in the region. The project is divided into three phases:Phase 1 (2025): Complete Terminal 1 with two runways and a cargo terminal, which will have the capacity to handle 25 million passengers.Phase 2 (2025-2030): Construction of Terminal 2, which will increase the airport’s capacity to 50 million passengers.Phase 3 (2035-2040): Two additional runways (T3 and T4 Terminals), reaching a total capacity of 100 million passengers.This year’s IASEA 2025 welcomes a delegation of leaders from major international airports in Vietnam, including Long Thanh International Airport—one of the world's most expensive greenfield airport projects—Noi Bai Airport, Danang Airport, Cat Bi Airport, Phu Quoc Airport, and Cam Ranh International Terminal.Mr. Nguyen Cao Cuong, Deputy General Director, Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), shared during his opening remarks, “Under the direction of the Prime Minister of Vietnam, ACV's delegation at this expo is actively seeking high-quality, potential partners in technology, equipment, and airport operations to collaborate in accelerating the completion of Long Thanh, ensuring it meets the highest international standards. This show is not only a valuable opportunity for ACV to explore cutting-edge technologies and advanced management models but also a chance for all of us to discuss strategies for the collective growth of airport networks in Southeast Asia."What to look out for in IASEA 2025?Over the course of three days, groundbreaking discussions and innovations are taking centre stage, redefining efficiency, sustainability, and automation in ground handling and airport logistics. Today marks a significant milestone for CW Aero Services as the company announces the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Goldhofer AG to become a Hub for Goldhofer GSE product lines in the Asia Pacific region. As part of this strategic partnership, CW Aero Services will not only promote Goldhofer GSE products within Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, and the Philippines but also provide comprehensive support services.

By leveraging its expertise and regional presence, CW Aero Services aims to make a meaningful impact on the ground support equipment landscape in the region.Industry leaders are unveiling next-generation solutions designed to optimise airport operations, enhance energy efficiency, and streamline airside activities.

The company launched the Enatel eGSE Charger – a cutting-edge charging solution designed specifically for electric ground support equipment (eGSE) – earlier this month, which was one of the first few times the product was showcased to the public. With a world-leading 97.6% efficiency, the charger minimises energy waste, optimises charging times, and reduces vehicle downtime, setting a new benchmark in airport electrification.Meanwhile, Oshkosh AeroTech has introduced two cutting-edge electric ground support vehicles to the Asia market at IASEA 2025 – the LEKTRO 88i electric aircraft tug and the B80 electric pushback tractor – that are designed to enhance airport efficiency, sustainability, safety, and reduce operational costs. The B80 pushback tractor, specifically, was built for heavy-duty operations, delivering high torque, all-wheel drive, and advanced energy management for efficient pushbacks of both narrow-body and wide-body aircraft. As the event unfolds, industry professionals can expect more exclusive product showcases, expert-led conference sessions, and networking opportunities that shape the future of airport operations across Asia.All trade professionals attending inter airport Southeast Asia 2025 will be granted free access to the exhibition and conference floors.

In addition, the continued Sino-U.S. semiconductor technology rivalry, especially the tightened control of AI chips export across the globe by the United States, will become a critical and unneglectable issue in the development of semiconductor industry. As such, the Group will pay close attention to the variables and respond to market changes in a prudent and flexible manner to ensure sustainable development. The Group will also capture development opportunities and strengthen its core competitiveness to create long-term shareholder value.”About Genes Tech Group Holdings Co.

Wintermar Reports Results For The Full Year Ended 31 December 2024

SINGAPORE, Mar 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Wintermar’s Operating Profit jumped by 101.5%YOY to US$17.8 million on the back of a 13.5%YOY increase in Total Revenue to US$82.4million, from higher charter rates and a better fleet mix of DP (Dynamic Positioning) vessels.Owned Vessel DivisionOwned Vessel Revenue rose by 28.9%YOY to US$62.1million for FY2024 from US$48.2million in FY2023. This was driven by a larger number of DP vessels in the fleet which pushed the average charter rates for 2024 up by 26% as compared to the average charter rate in 2023.  These factors contributed to a 106.2%YOY jump in Gross Profit from Owned Vessels to US$22.4million for FY2024 with vessel utilization in 2024 at 66%, slightly lower than 68% for 2023.Owned Vessel gross margin has increased to 36.1% in FY2024 as compared to 22.6% in FY2023, reflecting a strong increase in charter rates as well as a better fleet exposure to the DP segment. Our 5150BHP to 8000BHP AHTS as well as PSVs experienced a higher charter rate boost than the rest of the fleet due to rising demand for deeper water drilling projects, which require DP capability.Vessel utilization fell in 4Q2024 to 63% compared to 67% in 3Q2024. Some vessels completed spot contracts while the monsoon season in Brunei also impacted utilization.   These vessels underwent maintenance and will start operations again in mid 1Q2025.  The additional PSV which was delivered in October 2024 did not commence operations until January 2025.                    Chartering Division and Other ServicesGross Profit from Chartering rose by 28.7%YOY to US$1.4million, despite slightly lower revenue of US$13.7million, reflecting improved margins. Gross Profit from Other Services recorded a decline of 16.7%YOY to US$2.6million upon the completion of a contract. Total Revenue for FY2024 rose 13.5% YOY to US$82.4 million with Total Gross Profit of US$26.4 million (+75.5%YOY) for FY2024 as compared to Total Revenue of US$72.6 million and Total Gross Profit of US$15.0 million in FY2023.Direct Expenses and Gross ProfitOwned Vessel Direct expenses rose by 6.4% YOY to US$39.7million, largely from higher maintenance costs, which rose by US$7.5million (+21.8%YOY), in additional to higher crewing costs of US$10.3million (+10.5%YOY).The higher maintenance and crewing costs are aligned with operating a fleet of higher value vessels and a larger proportion of operations outside of Indonesia. Depreciation costs rose by 5.4%YOY to US$13.4million as the number of operational vessels increased. Bunker costs rose by 7.2%YOY to US$3.3million due to higher oil prices and a larger number of vessels mobilized in and out of Indonesia.Indirect Expenses and Operating ProfitIndirect Expenses rose by 38.5%YOY to US$8.6million, with Staff Salary contributing US$1million to the increase, reflecting a focus on strengthening the operations, technical and IT teams to manage a higher value fleet, as well as the payment of employee bonuses in line with the strong operational performance. As the Company now participates in more international tenders, there has been an increase in marketing expenses by 164.8%YOY to US$0.66million.Operating margins jumped to 21.6% for FY2024 compared to 12.2% in 2023, as Operating Profit doubled to US$17.8million for FY2024, reflecting the impact of operational gearing on the Company’s profitability as charter rates begin to rise.Other Income, Expenses and Net Attributable ProfitInterest Expenses and financial charges fell by 4.2%YOY to US$1.2million while interest income rose by 582%YOY to US$0.46million, as the Company continued to accumulate cash flow and pay down debt. Equity in net earnings of associates jumped to US$2.4million for FY2024 from US$0.55million in FY2023, with strong contribution from associated companies with OSV operations which also benefitted from the strong industry upturn.The sale of fixed assets contributed a one-off gain of US$16.1million, largely from the sale of an older PSV in the first half of 2024. Due to the strengthening of the A, the Company recorded a FX loss of US$0.47million mainly from Rupiah denominated trade receivables.Non-controlling interest was significantly higher at US$9.8million compared to a small loss of US$0.04million in FY2023. The largest contributor to this was from the gain on sale of fixed asset as well as the stronger earnings from the PSV business which is 51% controlled by Wintermar.Net Attributable Profit to shareholders for FY2024 was US$22.5million, a significant jump of 237% compared to US$6.7million in FY2023. Excluding the gain on sale of Vessel, the underlying core profit increased by 126.5%YOY to US$15.1million compared to US$6.6 million in FY2023.FY2024 EBITDA increased by 44.8% YOY to US$31.5million.Industry OutlookThe recent months have been characterized by rising global uncertainty arising from dramatic policy changes in the US, the prospect of tariff wars and the fragile ceasefire in Gaza. These upheavals have not derailed the underlying momentum in the upstream investment cycle, which seems to still be unfolding as major oil companies have started to roll back renewable energy projects in favour of investing in oil and gas. The oil price has corrected from previous highs but is forecasted to stay firm in the next couple of years from OPEC+ intervention.In Indonesia, the government remains committed to the various major deepwater projects which have received investment approval in the past 12 months. SE Asian charter rates corrected slightly at the end of 2024 after a very sharp spike up in the past 12 months.  However, there are several  Engineering Procurement (EPCI) projects which require  OSV for short-term projects, which accounts for a more volatile utilization of the OSV fleet.                   Business ProspectsDespite a slower 4Q2024, we are still optimistic on the outlook for OSVs in Indonesia as there are several approved deepwater drilling projects particularly in the Makassar strait and the Andaman sea which are likely to commence in 2H2025 to 2026.  Some EPCI contracts have been awarded and tendering for the marine spread is ongoing for 2H2025 commencement. All this points to continued short term contracts, by virtue of where we are at this early stage of the drilling cycle, and we expect continued volatility in utilization rates while charter rates should remain firm.Wintermar took delivery of 3 units of newbuilt Heavy Load Barges (HLB) between December 2024 to February 2025.  The vessels are in the process of conversion to Indonesian flag and will be ready to work by 2Q2025.  In addition, the Company has ordered a newbuilt Platform Supply Vessel for delivery in 2026, which will enhance the DP capability of the fleet and reduce average age of the fleet.  These acquisitions have been funded through internal cash flow and will be refinanced upon delivery.  In 2H2025, another reactivated PSV is expected to be operational, adding to our capacity for 2025.Contracts on hand as at end February 2025 amounted to US$66million.                About Wintermar Offshore Marine GroupWintermar Offshore Marine Group (WINS.JK), developed over nearly 50 years with a track record of quality that is both a source of pride and responsibility that we are dedicated to upholding, and sails a fleet of more than 48 Offshore Support Vessels ready for long term as well as spot charters. All vessels are operated by experienced Indonesian crew, tracked by satellite systems and monitored in real-time by shore-based Vessel Teams.Wintermar is the first shipping company in Indonesia to be certified with an Integrated Management System by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance, and is currently certified with ISO 9001:2015 (Quality), ISO14001:2015 (Environment) and OHSAS 18001:2007 (Occupational Health and Safety).

The Company will establish strong collaborations with third-party platforms to expedite the growth initiatives. In the lower-tier cities, the Company will drive growth through the conversion of private domain traffic, the dissemination of a “low-price” mindset, and the optimization of mini-program functionalities. The Company will continue to fine-tune the algorithms for precise route matching to enhance driver retention. Furthermore, the Company will explore various scalable carpooling scenarios, such as employee commuting and student travel to and out of college campuses, to expand the user base.

Together with the interim dividend of HK3.0 cents (FY2023: HK2.0 cents) already paid, the total dividend for FY2024 will be HK14.0 cents per share (FY2023: HK10.0 cents).Business ReviewDuring the Reporting Period, the Group remained highly focused on steady business expansion and optimisation of operations, successfully capturing new business opportunities driven by rising demand for its major OEM customers’ products. Additionally, the Group made steady progress in diversifying its business across various product lines. Leveraging strengths in product development, production know-how and operation standards for trading cards production, it cultivated business relationships with an industry-leading global trading card company and various publishers in China. During the Reporting Period, the Group’s OEM sales reached approximately HK$984.8 million, up approximately 16.4% from approximately HK$845.8 million for FY2023.In terms of web sales business, riding on the well-established market position, enhanced customer experience and effective cost-saving measures, the Group’s web sales achieved steady growth during the Reporting Period.

It aims to strengthen its OEM solutions by innovating in product structural design, printing and finishing techniques, and new material utilisation. To capitalise on the booming trading card games market, the Group will actively participate in relevant trade shows to enhance market penetration and position itself to seize emerging opportunities.The development of QPMN remains the Group’s key growth strategy in web sales business in the long run.

Appreciation cards and crafts – prepared by about 50 students – were also presented to the workers at the dormitory. The students are from the Big Heart Student Care Services at Zhangde Primary School and the German European School Singapore (“GESS”) in Singapore. The cards and crafts were presented by teachers from GESS on behalf of the students.This is the first Singapore Iftar event sponsored by SPIL, the Singapore-headquartered parent of Bangladesh’s largest private sector power generation company.Besides Iftar, SPIL is also engaged in other corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) efforts in Bangladesh, including charity donations for neuro-divergent children, participating in UNICEF initiatives to help school dropouts, as well as supporting scientific research for nutrition and online education, among others.Mr Muhammed Aziz Khan, PBM said, “Throughout the years, social responsibility remains a core principle of the Summit Group. Bangladeshi nationals comprise a significant number of the migrant workers in Singapore. This year’s Iftar that we sponsored in Singapore underscores our efforts to give back.”“I am touched that young students from the two schools have expressed their appreciation to the migrant worker community in Singapore,” he added.Mr Muhammed Aziz Khan, PBM, a Singaporean of Bangladeshi origin, was awarded the Public Service Medal (COVID-19) in October 2023 for engaging and helping Bangladeshi workers who were isolated in local dormitories during the pandemic.Ms Patricia Amorim and Ms Marieke Bink, teachers at GESS, said, “We were thrilled to have collaborated with students of Big Heart for a meaningful card-making activity, bringing together our Grade 6-8 students with younger brothers and sisters from Big Heart to create heartfelt messages for migrant workers. This event not only fostered creativity but also facilitated genuine interactions between the students as they shared stories and ideas. The cards produced are a beautiful testament to their teamwork and compassion, showcasing the power of community and the importance of supporting those who contribute so much to our society.”Shaina, a representative of Big Heart Student Care, said, “We are delighted to partner with the German European School Singapore for a meaningful initiative aimed at giving back to the community. Last Friday, students gathered to create heartfelt cards for migrant workers, expressing gratitude and appreciation for their vital contributions to Singapore’s growth and development. This significant event not only instilled a deep sense of gratitude in the students but also helped foster new friendships and lasting memories.
