    TRADING activity in shipping company Neptune Orient Lines (NOL) surged to a two-year high on Wednesday, buoyed by a report from an international broking house that upgraded the stock to a 'buy' and fresh rumours of a potential takeover.

    NOL, South-east Asia's biggest container line, jumped 6.9 per cent or 6.5 cents to S$1.01. Some 23 million shares also changed hands, notching the highest daily volume since Jan 10, 2013.
