- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The wider Group has always looked forward strategically for fleet planning. The first of the five new vessels of the E-flexers type, named Galicia, was delivered in 2020. Salamanca and Santona, were delivered in November 2021 and December 2022. Our hybrid powered ships, Saint Malo was delivered in September 2024 and Guillaume de Normandie, was delivered in December 2024. These LNG electric vessels are ordered on long term charter basis to replace current ships on our routes. By early 2025, four of our ships will be running on LNG.”
- “The wider Group is working on a number of environmental initiatives in conjunction with our de-carbonisation programme, that include partnerships with external partners ensuring commitment to responsible travel. We will also comply with the EU Emissions Trading System, which has been extended to the shipping sector from January 2024. This is designed to cut greenhouse gas emissions whilst incentivising energy efficient, low-carbon solutions.”
- “In addition to our ships, the new railroad between Mouguerre, South-West France to Cherbourg, Northern France, should come into service in May 2025, serving unaccompanied trailers to the UK and Ireland. The wider Group continues to meet the growing environmental demands, one of our core principles to recovery.”
