The NOL Group was publicly listed in 1981 and is the largest shipping and transportation company on the Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX). The exponential growth in world trade that accompanied containerisation has remained a key growth driver for both APL and NOL. Against tremendous odds, NOL charted a path of growth - expanding into new trades with new services. Following the merger, APL was adopted as the major container shipping brand for customers, while NOL remained as the holding company listed on the Singapore stock exchange and the well-known face of the company for investors. The company has supported customer trends towards ?modularisation? of manufacturing. The Singapore Government has been a strategic shareholder in the company from the time of NOL?s formation in 1968. As at November 2006 the shareholding of Singapore?s Government-owned investment company Temasek Holdings stood at 68% of NOL?s issued capital. In recent years the burgeoning container trade from Asia - particularly China - has enabled NOL to pursue strategic growth and leverage the company?s expertise in Asia. With our strong global presence the Company has been well placed to service explosive growth in international trade flows. Ocean53 - world's first ocean-capable 53-foot containers.
