Significant events
- “Our new vessels project commenced in 2019 as part of our new beginnings era with a view to constructing new vessels for replacements of Scillonian III, Gry Maritha and Lyonesse Lady. On 18 January 2024, the Isles of Scilly Steamship Group signed contracts with shipbuilder Piriou for the construction of a new passenger ferry, Scillonian IV and new cargo vessel, Menawethan. Work on the new vessels in Vietnam continues at pace. Following the steel cutting ceremony held on 25 June 2024 and the keel laying ceremony in October 2024 the project is now in its latter stages. The hull construction of Scillonian IV and Menawethan are now predominantly complete. In the last few days, the engines that will power these vessels have arrived at the shipyard and are being integrated into their respective engine rooms.”

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
