Trans Power targets IPO

Indonesian tug and barge operator PT Trans Power Marine is planning to list on the Jakarta Stock Exchange next month.

The company, which is engaged in the domestic transport of coal and biomass, is targeting just under IDR 100bn ($10.3m) from the offering.

It plans to sell almost 400 million shares, or around 15% of its outstanding units, at up to IDR 250 apiece.

The funds will cover around 30% of TPM’s capex budget this year with the company set to invest up to $40m on new vessels.

Revenue for the nine months to 30 September climbed by a quarter to $37m though profit fell 4.5% to $6.6m due to higher costs.
