                    [Summary] => Inter-island shipping firm Aboitiz Transport System Corp. (ATSC) reported a 13 percent drop in its 2004 net income to P310.5 million, mainly due to higher interest expenses.


However, revenues rose seven percent to P8.2 billion from P7.7 billion a year earlier.  Of this amount, passage revenues accounted for P3.7 billion or an increase of five percent from the 2003 figure.  The increase in revenues was due to the strong marketing efforts of promoting higher-value passenger accommodations.
