Growth Milestones

NW’s China Representative Office underwent an upgrade, transitioning to a limited liability company headquartered in the Hainan Island free trade zone. This strategic move enables the company to function as a comprehensive trading entity within China. Additionally, trading entities were established in key locations such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Oman. These initiatives serve to significantly broaden the company’s presence in the Middle East, a region integral to the origin of most crude oil and oil products.

Playing Our Part to Contributing To Singapore’s Economy

The Key Role of Oil Trade in Singapore’s Growth

Singapore is a global oil trading hub – in fact, it is the pricing centre and largest physical oil trading hub in Asia.It is also a major global refining and petrochemicals centre, accounting for 1.5 million barrels a day or 1.5% of the global refining volume, and 25 million tonnes per annum or 1.2% of the global petrochemicals capacity.

It also thrives on a large shipping industry and is the world’s top bunkering port in the world in 2020, given its strategic location.

NW Plays A Crucial Role

NW Corporation plays an important role in this sector to strengthen Singapore’s position as a major trading and financial hub. Last year, Singapore’s economy was badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In particular, the oil trading sector was especially affected after weathering the perfect storm caused by an already weakened global economy and falling oil prices, and aggravated by the serious fallout of Hin Leong.

Despite all the unfavourable conditions, NW Corporation managed to survive and turned these challenges into opportunities. The sector has since recovered from the effects of Hin Leong’s scandal and NW continues to set new benchmarks in corporate governance in trade practices.

NW’s Success during Covid19

2019 saw the company turnover rise to US$228M against a total income of US$1.9M. Even though the company started as a commodity trading firm, the majority of trades were in the oil and gas sector, covering products across the barrels from crude oil to fuel oil and base oil.

In 2020, despite the pandemic and the lack of banking facilities due to several large fallouts in the trade finance space, activities for the company continued with the company turnover recording US$223M with a profit of US$4.3M.
