“The directors are satisfied at the date of signing that the company is a going concern and further details are provided in the going concern section of the accounting policies note. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 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
- “The year 2025 will remain challenging where it comes to the shipping volumes from the group which the remain our strongest pillar for the entity's revenue development. However, in Q4 the CMA-CGM Group announced the acquisition of Freightliner Ltd., which means a massive boost for our strategic position within the UK where it comes to rail transports. It is expected that from this acquisition and by combining the expertise of both companies within the group we can increase the group footprint together and benefit from large synergy effects between the two entities.”
