Offshore and marine stocks fall while transport shares gain
Singapore
OFFSHORE and marine (O&M) companies listed in Singapore were dragged down by plummeting oil prices on Friday, as Opec's decision not to cut production sent Brent crude crashing 5 per cent during the day to US$72 per barrel.
With analysts expecting such levels - at four-year lows - to persist until the first half of 2015, at least, the resultant spending cutbacks in oil-related projects are seen hurting O&M companies here.
