Significant events
- “In 2022, alterations to the yard began, with large investments being made to allow for the He Dreiht Project, the manufacturing of 64 transition pieces ('TP's').”
- “2023 saw the completion of a new shop allowing the welding, blasting and painting of the TP's to be carried out on one production line. The He Dreiht project and Inch Cape project brought the requirement for 500 additional personnel on the yard. The investment program was mainly realised in 2023, and all investments became operational during 2024.”
- “Office refurbishments began during the year with a requirement for more space per department due to an increase in personnel.”
- “The Baltic Power Project of 72 TP's commenced, with 68 TP's in full production by the end of the year. June 2024 also seen the last load out of the He Dreiht Project, 64 TP's.”
- “The purchase of the yard by Smulders in 2021 brought the existing lease agreement between the Company and Shepherd Offshore Group to an end. However, a new agreement of a put option deed was entered into, which allows the Company to sell the freehold back to Shepherd Offshore Group at any time within a period of 10 years, should the Company come to a point of having no project work.”

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
