The purchaser is an investment holding company wholly owned by Jane Kimberly Ng Bee Kiok, Ng Bee Bee and Ng Han Whatt. Ms Ng Bee Bee is the chief executive officer of the company, while Ms Jane Ng is an executive director.
The 12 tugboats and 10 barges owned by the two subsidiaries are valued at S$23.8 million as of Sept 28 and their unaudited net book value was S$26.95 million as of Sept 30.
Pan-United said it intends to use the proceeds from the sale to fund future projects and for working capital needs.
