KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 29): SCOMI MARINE BHD [] posted a lower pre-tax loss of RM116.47 million for the financial year (FY) ended Dec 31, 2011, from RM206.186 million previously.

Revenue fell to RM390.82 million from RM409.029 million a year ago.

Scomi Marine said it remains cautiously optimistic on the outlook for the oil and gas industry amid challenges in the economic environment globally.

"There are signs of steady improvement from the emerging economies that will provide support for longer term energy demands.

"The group expects the maritime industry to benefit from increasing global demand of offshore activities in the region," the company said in a filing to Bursa Malaysia here.

The fundamentals driving the offshore support activities remain intact with more explorations expected in order to meet the increasing demand for energy.

This will augur well for the demand of offshore supply vessels and seaborne coal logistic solutions, it added.
