Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- IFRS
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- RSM UK Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have, at the time of approving the financial information, a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, 12 months from the signing of the financial statements. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In 2025 the short sea liftings were sustained, where operative advantages could be found by either promoting import to equipment shortage areas or through promoting export from equipment surplus locations on the regional trade and thereby contributing to better equipment flow at Group level.”
- “After a turbulent 2024, the carrier launched a dedicated regional service with joint venture partners; the maiden voyage took place in January 2025. This triggered a brief restructuring discussion with the joint venture partners, the conclusion of which was the termination of the service in Q3 2025.”
- “2025 was very turbulent for Transatlantic trade. Eventually a new six-year master contract between International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and the U.S. Maritime Alliance (USMX) was signed, averting major strikes.”
- “Further uncertainty developed as the trade war between the US and EU escalated. This affected the volume availability in April, which then eventually stabilized as 90-day tariff pause was established.”
- “Throughout 2025 passage through the strait of Bab al-Mandab remained uncertain with a high risk to the safety of crew, cargo and ship, and therefore the carrier continued routing of the Far East bound services around the Cape of Good Hope.”

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
