“The Company has sufficient financial resources together with existing contracts with a number of customers and suppliers across different geographic areas and industries. As a consequence, the Directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. In line with the net current asset position of $21,440,409, in addition to the continued financial support of the ultimate parent company, the Directors believe that preparing the financial statements on the going concern basis is appropriate. The Directors have received confirmation that Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd will support the Company for at least a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the balance sheet.”
Significant events
- “A further two vessels are expected to be delivered, one in October 2026 and one in June 2027.”
- “The Company is currently defending a performance guarantee claim from a charterer in relation to fuel consumption. Based on the Company's calculations under the contractual terms, the Directors consider it not probable that a liability will arise.”
