Singapore-based container shipping firm Neptune Orient Lines Ltd said on Thursday its first-quarter net loss narrowed to USD$11 million (S$14.5 million) from $89 million a year earlier, aided by cost savings and lower fuel cost.

NOL reported revenue for the three months ended March 31 at $2 billion, down 13 per cent on the year, though it posted $30 million in core earnings before interest, taxes and non-recurring items, compared with a $65 million loss a year earlier.
