- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based upon the availability of its drawn and undrawn loan facilities and having reviewed the Company's future forecast cash flows, the Directors expect the Company to be a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements and therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Profits before tax improved in 2025 principally due to reduced interest costs, a result of exercising the JOLCO financing arrangement held on the Stena Britannica in September 2025.”
- “Recent macro-economic events including the announcement of tariffs on international trade by US president Donald Trump in April 2025 and the February 2026 US-Israel war with Iran have triggered a period of volatility on global stock markets.”
- “The ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have had no major consequences on the company's operations to date.”
