This company is 96.1 years old and is currently active. It is controlled by P&O Ferries Division Holdings Ltd. The company has positive equity (net assets) of GBP 129.1 million which has decreased from the previous year's figure of GBP 143.8 million. The latest reported revenue figure is GBP 145.2 million which is up 10% on previous year's figure of GBP 134.6 million. Retained earnings is negative (GBP -71.6 million), which means the company has aggregate losses since it's inception or it has paid more dividends than it can afford; given the company's age, this is a sign of serious financial problems.
