- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 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
- “2023 saw WeRefuel expand its business activities into third party transport movements as a means to diversify the business and look to build on the profitable moves in 2022. Unfortunately running one vessel alone on these movements did not offer enough flexibility to take full advantage and optimise movements. As a result the model was unsuccessful and resulted in a loss making model. Due to the period of commitments this was for the full duration of 2023.”
- “Although the net result was a loss for the business, bunkering remains the core successful operation of the business and was a profitable segment during 2023. As part of the business strategy focus has been re aligned to purely bunkering and a more efficient and streamlined operation has been conducted into 2024.”
- “During the year the company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, We Refuel BV. Subsequently, to maintain specific focus on the different types of business, the bunkering business was transferred to We Refuel BV with the transportation trading remaining in We Refuel Ltd.”
