- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has considerable financial resources together with long term contracts with a number of customers and suppliers across different geographic areas and industries. In addition, the Group's ability to call upon a wealth of knowledge, experience and resources within the wider international Boskalis group allows for access to a wide range of services, goods and equipment beyond the local markets providing the flexibility to address any potential issues arising within the Company's supply chain and wider business activities. As a consequence, the directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully and is in a healthy position to weather any disruption and increased costs in its fuel and supply chain.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
