KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Bulk Carriers Bhd (Maybulk) expects the depressed dry bulk trade environment to persist this year on weak demand and made worse by the oversupply situation in the market.

The group, which reported a RM24mil loss in the first quarter ended March 31 on weak charter rates, said yesterday its immediate focus moving forward was to selectively monetise its assets to improve liquidity.
