Concurrently, within our trading operations, a strategic pivot toward an order-backed model and the execution of critical capital optimisation initiatives have enabled us to minimise inventory risks, preserve capital, and maintain business continuity amidst shifting regional trade dynamics.
In the Shipbuilding business, Swan Defence and Heavy Industries Limited ("SDHI") significantly strengthened its operational capabilities and commercial order pipeline.
