Govt refund for HK terminal props up HPH Trust's Q1 earnings
Singapore
RAISING port tariffs does not seem to have helped Hutchison Port Holdings Trust (HPHT) lift revenue as much as it might have planned.

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.
