In contrast, the trading volume for other oil products slipped 11.79% to 14.67 million tonnes for 2019 compared to 16.63 million tonnes for 2018 attributable mainly to lower trading volume for fuel oil.

CAO’s share of profits from associates dipped 9.12% to US$65.53m for 2019 compared to US$72.11m for 2018, mainly due to lower share of profits from Pudong (down 9.78% to US$58.83m) driven by forex effect and lower revenue.
