Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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

“The Directors of the Company have assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. The assessment was conducted taking into consideration its financial position, liquidity, expected future cash flows, and obligations as at the reporting date. For the financial year ended 31 December 2024, the Company posted a profit after tax of $34.2m and declared a dividend of $35.0m. As at the reporting date, the Company maintains a positive net asset position of $1.8m, supported by long-term time charter contracts secured at favourable rates, providing predictable revenue streams. The Directors are hence of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare financial statements of the Company on a going concern basis.”
