Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- UK-adopted International Accounting Standards
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through the Hutchison Ports (UK) Limited group banking facilities. The current economic conditions continue to create uncertainty. However, the company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the company should be able to operate within the level of the current facilities. After detailed review, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors have considered all relevant factors within the going concern period including whether there could be a change in control. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “At 31 December 2024, the company had provided guarantees of £1,050,000 (2023: £1,050,000) in respect of duty and bonding to HM Customs and Excise.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
