Alam Maritim shares rise 4%

PETALING JAYA: Alam Maritim Resources Bhd’s share price rose 4% today to 13 sen after it was granted an extension of time to submit its Proposed Restructuring Scheme.

The company, which is being aided by the central bank’s Corporate Debt Restructuring Committee to rationalise its debts, has until Aug 11 to submit its Proposed Restructuring Scheme.

In addition, the company said it has ongoing major tendering activities that could see the redeployment of its vessels, and significantly impact its cash flow and financial performance.
