SINGAPORE`s Neptune Orient Lines Ltd (NOL) has posted a third-quarter net loss of US$96 million, owing to soft freight rates; on 28 per cent lower revenue at $1.2 billion, compared to the same period last year.

"The absence of the traditional third-quarter peak season in Europe and North America led to severe freight rates erosion in major trade lanes," NOL Group president and CEO Ng Yat Chung said in a statement, reported Reuters.

The shipping company is controlled by Singapore`s state investor Temasek Holdings.
