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

“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. Solstad Offshore UK Ltd. is part of the Groups plans going forward as ship operator for operations on the UK Continental Shelf.

As of November 2025, a nominated subsidiary of Solstad Maritime ASA (formerly Solstad Maritime Holding AS), Solstad Maritime AS has issued a support letter that states their provision of financial support for Solstad Offshore UK Limited until 12 months after the approval of these Financial Statement. Solstad Maritime AS is the parent company of the refinanced and restructured group of Solstad, of which the Company is a part.”
Significant events
