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

“The Directors thus consider that the Company have adequate resources to continue their operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt a going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Annual Report and Accounts.”
Significant events
- “Turnover during FYE 2025 was dominated by the last phases of the Yinson Atlanta FPSO project and a supervisory and design project for a turret repair to ECOS for a unit offshore Italy.”
- “The year saw a decline in activity related to planned Floating Wind projects as the sector began to suffer from return expectations challenges due to cost growth, regulatory approval delays and an increased supply chain costs.”
- “natural gas and in particular, Liquefield Natural Gas (LNG) projects have increased and this sector looks set for good short and medium term growth as geopolitics contribute to energy supply instability.”
- “We are also starting to perform early study work into Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) another area of growth at government and business level that is a key initiative for net-zero plans globally”
