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

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based upon the availability of its drawn and undrawn loan facilities and having reviewed the Company's future forecast cash flows, the Directors expect the Company to be a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements and therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Group structure
- STENA NORTH SEA LIMITED · parent
- Stena North Atlantic Limited 100%
Significant events
- “The announcement of tariffs on international trade by US president Donald Trump in April 2025 triggered a period of volatility on global stock markets.”
- “The ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have had no major consequences on the company's operations to date. The long term effects will most likely be limited as long as these conflicts are geographically contained.”
- “In early 2024, the Company continued to fund the construction of a new ice-class ropax vessel, which was delivered in February 2024 and named Ala-Suinu. Stena North Sea Limited invested in a subsidiary, Stena North Atlantic Limited, which purchased the vessel on delivery for nil gain or loss in Stena North Sea Limited.”
- “In early 2025, the Company was one of three group companies formally accepted by HRMC into the UK tonnage tax regime.”
- “The Board approved with the operator of the Stena Superfast VII and Stena Superfast VIII to convert these vessels to a dual fuel diesel and methanol machinery to future proof the assets and form part of the wider group's methanol hub strategy ensuring CII compliance.”
