- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the accounts using the going concern assumption, more details of which are set out in note 1 to the financial statements. Taking all these factors into account, the Directors of the Company are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Orders have been placed for four newbuild vessels, with delivery scheduled for 2026.”

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
