Further Information: In January 2017 the company announced the sale of its Gibraltar port subsidiary. This facility had been the company’s major source of revenue but in 2011 a fire severely limited operations. After several years of providing expensive alternatives, and after permission to re-build was continuously delayed, the subsidiary was declared to be a discontinued operation in 2015 and was put up for sale.

The Group’s financial position was weakened by problems in Gibraltar, as well as by the drop in oil price in 2014 (oil is one output from the port facilities). In 2015 action was taken to re-structure and cut costs. These included selling off an engineering site in Cornwall and regrouping administrative functions in Holland.
