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

Significant events
- “The profit for the year amounted to EUR 7,859,000, down from EUR 12,074,000 in 2023. This decline is primarily attributed to reduced freight income, following a market softening after the exceptional performance seen during the COVID-19 period, which had spurred higher global demand.”
- “The group also exited certain technical management contracts to reallocate resources, which further impacted turnover.”
- “Additionally, inflation continued to drive operational costs higher in 2024, placing pressure on the group's ability to sustain its operating profit margin (2024: 20.6% vs 2023: 24.7%).”
- “The net asset position increased to EUR 80.98 million (2023: EUR 75.99 million), mainly due to higher cash reserves resulting from the group's efforts to reduce external borrowing in recent years.”
