SINGAPORE: Singapore-listed Neptune Orient Lines (NOL) expects to lay off hundreds of staff globally by mid-June this year.
Responding to MediaCorp, NOL - the world's seventh-largest container shipping firm - says the affected staff will be notified next month.
NOL adds that details of the restructuring plan is being finalised but it has confirmed that "some positions will be expanded, reduced or re-deployed. Some jobs will be eliminated globally."
The container shipping and logistics firm is embarking on a organisational restructuring exercise to make NOL more efficient and more responsive to market changes.
It expects to reap an additional annual savings of about US$70 million from 2013 onwards from the exercise.
NOL posted a net loss of US$254 million for the first quarter 2012, compared to the net loss of US$10 million in the previous year.
It said the poorer performance was due to high fuel costs and low freight rates in container shipping.
