“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis because after reviewing budgets, other long-term plans, making due enquiries and completion of cashflow / working capital forecasts the Directors have reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. Furthermore, the Directors have reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to meet its debts as they fall due as a result of the availability of a £200,000,000 loan facility from AB Stena Finans to Stena Line (UK) Limited, Stena Line Limited and the Company, as joint borrowers, with a maturity date of 31 December 2028. As at 31 December 2025, and at the date of signing, £nil of the £200,000,000 loan facility was drawn down.”

Significant events
- “During the year the Company has seen a slight increase in activity across both freight volumes and passengers mainly as a consequence of the closure of Holyhead Port in the prior year due to storm damage. Operating costs have risen primarily as a consequence of repair costs to the berth at Holyhead along with additional employment costs and depreciation.”

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
