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
- IFRS
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Ernst & Young LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have undertaken an exercise to consider the ability of Latsco (London) Limited to meet its obligations towards creditors up to 31 December 2026. After making suitable enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources and financial support to remain in operation for the foreseeable future and have therefore continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting.”
Significant events
- “During 2025, the Company has entered into new charter party agreements with some of the related parties, from those listed in Note 12 (d), in order to act as chartering representative in respect of four vessel-owning companies, in exchange for a fee based on fixtures the Company has entered into with unrelated parties (i.e. charter-in, charter-out transactions).”
- “On 4 February 2025, the Company terminated the agency agreement with the related party Undertow Holdings S.A. and therefore ceased to act as a chartering representative in respect of the related party's vessel.”
- “During 2025, the Company entered into agency agreements with the related parties Abridge Marine S.A., Aveley Marine S.A., Camden Marine Inc. and Croydon Marine Inc., wholly owned subsidiaries of LSL.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
