RAISING port tariffs does not seem to have helped Hutchison Port Holdings Trust (HPHT) lift revenue as much as it might have planned. Weaker intra-Asia and transshipment cargoes put a dent in the trust's topline for its first quarter and its net profit was propped up by a sizeable government refund, its results released on Monday show.
Net profit for the three months ended March 31 jumped 94.2 per cent from the previous year to HK$554.9 million (S$97 million), the trust said in a Singapore Exchange filing after the market closed.
