Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
The decision was made to transfer the trade and assets of the company into Maritime Transport Limited after the year end. This transaction was completed on 1 March 2025 with the company ceasing to trade at that point. Due to the above, the directors do not consider the company to be a going concern and therefore the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern.
