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 opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “In 2024, we have completed the sale of two vessels as we continue to focus on more fuel-efficient vessels.”
- “Separately we chose to invest some of these proceeds into the purchase of a newer and more efficient modern Japanese built second hand vessel, lowering our average age and improving our fuel efficiency.”
- “The net result of this sale and purchase activity saw our mortgaged debt rise fractionally by $7.1m to $49.8m across our 10 vessel fleet within the calendar year.”
