- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “Ocean carriers continued to route vessels from Asia around the Southern tip of Africa, due to ongoing security issues in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, with the increased transit times becoming accepted as normal by UK importers and exporters. Freight rates started the Year relatively high but declined because of increased capacity on the route and the relatively flat market.”
- “The trend of significant transport-based businesses failing continued during the year, presenting risks, as well as opportunities for our business. We remain watchful of our clients' and suppliers' financial performance to avoid being adversely affected by any failures.”
- “Effective from 1st January 2021, the Company branch office in Southern Ireland commenced trading as an Irish-registered Company, Lombard Shipping Limited.”

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
