- 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 group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The conflict in Iran has led Imabari to issue a force majeure notice with regard to the delivery of the MV ASTRIA; today the board considers this as a cautionary message only, but escalating events could impact on the planned delivery.”
- “The new 'sphere of influence' approach in combination with the very specific measures the USA took in 2025 against Chinese built or owned vessels 'in order to revive the US shipbuilding sector are very intriguing.”
- “2025 saw further weakening of the dry bulk chartering market in the beginning of the year with a very strong recovery, especially in the cape size segment, afterwards.”

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
