REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors of Swire Pacific Offshore Holdings Limited
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Swire Pacific Offshore Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of 31 December 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of 31 December 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:
● | Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. |
● | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. |
● | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. |
● | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. |
● | Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. |
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.
These notes form an integral part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements.
1. | General information |
Swire Pacific Offshore Holdings Limited is incorporated and domiciled in Bermuda. The address of its registered office is Victoria Place, 5th Floor, 31 Victoria Street, Hamilton HM 10, Bermuda.
The principal activities of Swire Pacific Offshore Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) consist of owning, chartering and operating vessels for the offshore oil and gas industry.
2. | Significant accounting policies |
2.1 | Basis of preparation |
These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below.
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where estimates and assumptions are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis because the intermediate holding corporation, Swire Pacific Limited, has undertaken to provide continuing financial support up to the earlier of 12 months from 31 December 2021 and the date it ceases to be the intermediate holding corporation so that the Group is able to pay its debts as and when they fall due.
Interpretations and amendments to published standards effective in 2021
On 1 January 2021, the Group adopted the new or amended IFRS and Interpretations to IFRS (“INT IFRS”) that are mandatory for application for the financial year. Changes to the Group’s accounting policies have been made as required, in accordance with the transitional provisions in the respective IFRS and INT IFRS.
The adoption of these new or amended IFRS and INT IFRS did not result in substantial changes to the Group’s accounting policies and had no material effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior financial years.
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
2.2 | Revenue recognition |
(a) | Time charter hire services |
Revenue from time charter hire services is generated from leasing of vessels and provision of services. A time charter contract consists of a leasing component (the bareboat element) and a service component. The service component is within the scope of IFRS 15, while the leasing component is within the scope of IFRS 16. Refer to Note 2.17 on accounting policy for leases. Both the service component and the leasing component are recognised as revenue over the lease period on a straight-line basis.
The customers are invoiced once every month. Prepayments from customers for which the service components have yet to be provided are recognised as contract liabilities, and recognised as revenue over the period during which the services are performed. Prepayments from customers for the leasing component are recognised as deferred revenue. Refer to Note 2.14 for accounting policy on deferred revenue classified under ‘Trade and other payables’. Accrued revenue is recognised under trade and other receivables for the revenue recognised but not yet invoiced.
(b) | Non-charter hire services - Ship management fees |
Revenue from ship management services is recognised over the period services are rendered in accordance with the ship management agreement. Customers are invoiced at the end of every month.
(c) | Interest income |
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest rate method.
2.3 | Government grants |
Grants from the government are recognised as a receivable at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all the attached conditions.
Government grants receivable are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants relating to expenses are offset against employee compensation expenses.
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
2.4 | Group accounting |
(a) | Subsidiaries |
(i) Consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment indicator of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests comprise the portion of a subsidiary’s net results of operations and its net assets, which is attributable to the interests that are not owned directly or indirectly by the equity holders of the Company. They are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, and balance sheet. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the non-controlling interests based on their respective interests in a subsidiary, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
(ii) Disposals
When a change in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary results in a loss of control over the subsidiary, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary including any goodwill are derecognised. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are also reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings if required by a specific Standard.
Any retained equity interest in the entity is remeasured at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the retained interest at the date when control is lost and its fair value is recognised in profit or loss. This full gain approach is consistent when it involves non-monetary considerations.
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
2.4 | Group accounting (continued) |
(b) | Transactions with non-controlling interests |
Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control over the subsidiary are accounted for as transactions with equity owners of the Company. Any difference between the change in the carrying amounts of the non-controlling interest and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised within equity attributable to the equity holders of the Company.
(c) | Associates and joint venture |
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence, but not control, generally accompanied by a shareholding giving rise to voting rights of 20% and above.
Joint venture is an entity over which the Group has joint control as a result of contractual arrangements, and rights to the net assets of the entity.
Investments in associates and joint venture are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting less impairment losses, if any.
(i) Acquisition
Investments in associates and joint venture are initially recognised at cost. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Goodwill on associates and joint venture represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of the associates or joint venture over the Group’s share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the associates or joint venture and is included in the carrying amount of the investments.
(ii) Equity method of accounting
Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise Group’s share of its associates’ or joint venture’s post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss and its share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee’s other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from the associates or joint venture are recognised as a reduction of the carrying amount of the investments.
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
2.4 | Group accounting (continued) |
(c) | Associates and joint venture (continued) |
(ii) Equity method of accounting (continued)
When the Group’s share of losses in associates or joint venture equals to or exceeds its interest in the associates or joint venture, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has legal or constructive obligations to make, or has made, payments on behalf of the associates or joint venture.
If the associates or joint venture subsequently report profits, the Group resumes recognising its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognised. Interest in associates or joint venture includes any long-term loans for which settlement is never planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates or joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associates or joint venture. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transactions provide evidence of impairment of the assets transferred. The accounting policies of associates or joint venture are changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
(iii) Disposals
Investments in associates or joint venture are derecognised when the Group loses significant influence or joint control. If the retained equity interest in the former associates or joint venture is a financial asset, the retained equity interest is measured at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the retained interest at the date when significant influence or joint control is lost, and its fair value and any proceeds on partial disposal, is recognised in profit or loss.
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
2.5 | Employee compensation |
Employee benefits are recognised as an expense, unless the cost qualifies to be capitalised as an asset.
(a) | Defined contribution plans |
Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions into separate entities on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid.
(b) | Employee leave entitlement |
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.
(c) | Defined benefit retirement plan obligations |
For defined benefit schemes, retirement benefit costs are assessed using the projected unit credit method. Under this method, the cost of providing retirement benefits is charged to the statement of comprehensive income so as to spread the regular cost over the service lives of employees.
The asset or liability recognised in the statement of financial position is the present value of the cost of providing the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets at the end of the reporting period. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries and is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate rates. The plan assets are valued on a bid price basis.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Past service costs are recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income.
2.6 | Borrowing costs |
Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method, except for those costs that are directly attributable to the construction of new vessels, which are capitalised.
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
2.7 | Income taxes |
Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognised at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a tax authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Group measures its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.
Deferred income tax is recognised for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction.
Deferred income tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Current and deferred income taxes are recognised as income or expenses in profit or loss, except to the extent that the tax arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity.
2.8 | Inventories |
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.
2.9 | Property, plant and equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are recognised at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment initially recognised includes its purchase price and any costs that are directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Cost also includes borrowing costs (refer to Note 2.6 on borrowing costs).
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
2.9 | Property, plant and equipment (continued) |
Instalments on new building contracts are capitalised as vessels under construction. The capitalised value is transferred to vessels upon delivery from the shipyard. The acquisition cost reported is the sum of the instalments paid plus costs incurred during the construction period.
A portion of the cost of new vessels, representing the subsequent dry docking and main engine overhaul, is capitalised. This cost is depreciated over the period to the next scheduled dry docking and engine overhaul which is generally between 2 and 5 years.
Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance expenses are recognised in profit or loss when incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their depreciable amounts over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Vessels under construction are not depreciated until they are completed. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Useful lives (in years) | ||||
Building | 20 | |||
Plant and equipment | 2 to 5 | |||
Vessels | 20 | |||
Dry docking | 5 |
The residual values, estimated useful lives and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each balance sheet date. The effects of any revision are recognised in profit or loss when the changes arise.
2.10 | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets, mainly computer software, are initially recognised at cost which includes the purchase price and any other directly attributable costs of preparing the asset for its intended use.
Intangible assets are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. These costs are amortised to the profit or loss using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 8 years.
The amortisation period and amortisation method of intangible assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The effects of any revision are recognised in profit or loss when the changes arise.
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
2.11 | Impairment of non-financial assets |
Property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, intangible assets, investments in associates and investment in a joint venture are tested for impairment whenever there is any objective evidence or indication that these assets may be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing of assets, recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of the asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount.
The difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss.
For an asset other than goodwill, management assesses at the end of the reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment recognised in prior periods may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of that asset is estimated and may result in a reversal of impairment loss. The carrying amount of this asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of accumulated depreciation or amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.
A reversal of impairment loss for an asset is recognised in profit or loss.
2.12 | Financial assets |
(a) | Classification and measurement |
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
● | Amortised cost; and |
● | Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). |
The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets as well as the contractual terms of the cash flows of the financial asset.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
2.12 | Financial assets (continued) |
(a) | Classification and measurement (continued) |
The Group reclassifies debt instruments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
(i) | At initial recognition |
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
(ii) | At subsequent measurement |
Debt instrument
Debt instruments mainly comprise of cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables and other current assets excluding prepayments.
There are two prescribed subsequent measurement categories, depending on the Group’s business model in managing the assets and the cash flow characteristics of the asset:
● | Amortised cost: Debt instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt instrument that is subsequently measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in interest income using the effective interest rate method. |
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
2.12 | Financial assets (continued) |
(a) | Classification and measurement (continued) |
(ii) | At subsequent measurement (continued) |
There are two prescribed subsequent measurement categories, depending on the Group’s business model in managing the assets and the cash flow characteristic of the assets: (continued)
● | FVOCI: Debt instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for sale, and where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are classified as FVOCI. Movements in fair values are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) and accumulated in fair value reserve, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses, which are recognised in profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and presented in “other gains and losses”. Interest income from these financial assets is recognised using the effective interest rate method and presented in “interest income”. |
(b) | Impairment |
The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt financial assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. Note 29 details how the Group determines whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables, lease receivables and contract assets, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by the IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
(c) | Recognition and derecognition |
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
2.12 | Financial assets (continued) |
(c) | Recognition and derecognition (continued) |
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
On disposal of a debt instrument, the difference between the carrying amount and the sale proceeds is recognised in profit or loss. Any amount previously recognised in other comprehensive income relating to that asset is reclassified to profit or loss.
On disposal of an equity investment, the difference between the carrying amount and sales proceed is recognised in profit or loss if there was no election made to recognise fair value changes in other comprehensive income. If there was an election made, any difference between the carrying amount and sales proceed amount would be recognised in other comprehensive income and transferred to retained profits along with the amount previously recognised in other comprehensive income relating to that asset.
2.13 | Trade and other payables |
Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. They are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business, if longer). Otherwise, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
2.14 | Deferred revenue |
The leasing component (the bareboat element) of time charter revenue received in advance is deferred and recognised as a liability. Deferred revenue is recognised as revenue in profit or loss over the period during which the related service is performed.
2.15 | Borrowings |
Borrowings are presented as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date, in which case they are presented as non-current liabilities.
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
2.15 | Borrowings (continued) |
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value (net of transaction costs) and subsequently carried at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
2.16 | Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities |
A derivative financial instrument is initially recognised at its fair value on the date the contract is entered into and is subsequently carried at its fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.
The Group designates each derivative as a cash flow hedge. Fair value changes on derivatives that are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised in profit or loss when the changes arise.
The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between the hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis on whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements under IFRS 9.
The fair value of various derivatives used for hedging purposes is disclosed in Note 25. The carrying amount of a derivative designated as a hedge is presented as a non-current asset or liability if the remaining expected life of the hedged item is more than 12 months, and as a current asset or liability if the remaining expected life of the hedged item is less than 12 months. The fair value of a trading derivative is presented as a current asset or liability.
The following hedges in place qualified as cash flow hedges under IFRS 9. The Group’s risk management strategies and hedge documentation are aligned with the requirements of IFRS 9 and are thus treated as continuing hedges.
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
2.16 | Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities (continued) |
Cash flow hedges - Currency forwards
The Group has entered into currency forwards that qualify as cash flow hedges against highly probable forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The fair value changes on the effective portion of the currency forwards designated as cash flow hedges are recognised in the hedging reserve. Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, as follows:
● | The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of the spot component of forward contracts is treated as follows: Where the hedged item subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset, the deferred hedging gains and losses are included within the initial cost of the asset. The deferred amounts are ultimately recognised in profit or loss as the hedged item affects profit or loss. |
● | The fair value changes on the ineffective portion of currency forwards are recognised immediately in profit or loss. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gains and losses that were previously recognised in the hedging reserve are reclassified to profit or loss immediately. |
2.17 | Leases |
When the Group is the lessor
The Group leases vessels (the bareboat element under time charter contracts) under operating leases to non-related parties and related corporations.
Lessor - Operating leases
Leases where the Group retains substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased assets are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Initial direct costs incurred by the Group in negotiating and arranging operating leases (such as mobilisation and demobilisation fees) are added to the carrying amount of the leased assets and recognised as an expense in profit or loss over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.
Contingent income is recognised as income in profit or loss when earned.
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
When the Group is the lessee
At the inception of the contract, the Group assesses if the contract contains a lease. A contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Reassessment is only required when the terms and conditions of the contract are changed.
● | Right-of-use assets |
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and lease liability at the date on which the underlying asset is available for use. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and lease incentive received. Any initial direct costs that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained are added to the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.
Right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line item on the balance sheet.
● | Lease liabilities |
The initial measurement of a lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted using the implicit rate in the lease, if the rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group shall use its incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments could include the following:
- | Fixed payment (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivables; |
- | Variable lease payment that is based on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; |
- | Amount expected to be payable under residual value guarantees; |
- | The exercise price of a purchase option if it is reasonably certain to exercise the option; and |
- | Payment of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising that option. |
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
2.17 | Leases (continued) |
When the Group is the lessee (continued)
● | Lease liabilities (continued) |
For contracts that contain both lease and non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease and non-lease component. The Group has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for property leases and account for these as one single lease component.
Lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Lease liability shall be remeasured when:
- | There is a change in future lease payments arising from changes in an index or rate; |
- | There is a change in the Group’s assessment of whether it will exercise an extension option; or |
- | There are modifications in the scope or the consideration of the lease that were not part of the original term. |
Lease liability is remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
● | Short-term and low-value leases |
The Group has elected to not recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have lease terms of 12 months or less and leases of low value. Lease payments relating to these leases are expensed to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
2.18 | Offsetting financial instruments |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
2.19 | Cash and cash equivalents |
For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits with financial institutions which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
2.20 | Dividends to Company’s shareholders |
Dividends to the Company’s shareholder are recognised when the dividends are approved for payment.
2.21 | Currency translation |
(a) | Functional and presentation currency |
Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in United States Dollar (“USD” or “US$”), which is the functional currency of the Company.
(b) | Transactions and balances |
Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (“foreign currency”) are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Currency exchange differences resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss. Monetary items include primarily financial assets (other than equity investments), contract assets and financial liabilities. However, in the consolidated financial statements, currency translation differences arising from borrowings in foreign currencies and other currency instruments designated and qualifying as net investment hedges and net investment in foreign operations, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the currency translation reserve.
When a foreign operation is disposed of or any loan forming part of the net investment of the foreign operation is repaid, a proportionate share of the accumulated currency translation differences is reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on disposal.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the income statement within “finance expense”. All other foreign exchange gains and losses impacting profit or loss are presented in the income statement within “other losses”.
Non-monetary items measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair values are determined.
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
2.21 | Currency translation (continued) |
(c) | Translation of Group entities’ financial statements |
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
(i) | assets and liabilities are translated at the closing exchange rates at the reporting date; |
(ii) | income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless the average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions); and |
(iii) | all resulting currency translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the currency translation reserve. These currency translation differences are reclassified to profit or loss on disposal or partial disposal with loss of control of the foreign operation. |
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of foreign operations are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operations and translated at the closing rates at the reporting date.
2.22 | Share capital |
Ordinary and preference shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary and preference shares are deducted against the share capital account.
2.23 | Discontinued operation |
A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or that is classified as held-for-sale and:
(a) | represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or |
(b) | is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or |
(c) | is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. |
3. | Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements |
Estimates, assumptions and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Impairment of vessels, including dry docking
Vessels are tested for impairment whenever there is any objective evidence or indication that the carrying amounts of the vessels may not be recoverable.
During the year, management reviewed the outlook for the business and operating plans and concluded that no impairment indicators existed.
In 2020, management reassessed the carrying values of the vessels as relevant impairment indicators existed. An impairment provision of US$552,134,000 was recorded during the year to reduce the carrying value of certain vessels to their estimated recoverable value, which is determined using the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. Fair value less costs to sell is based on management estimates having regard to estimated resale values with the support from independent external valuers. Fair value less costs to sell is a level 3 fair value measurement. Value-in-use is determined using cash flow projections based on financial budgets covering a ten-year period prepared by management and approved by the Board of Directors. A ten-year forecast is considered appropriate for offshore vessel operations, in order to take into account the management plans for the business and the expected industry operating cycle, including an expected market recovery. The key assumptions include vessel charter hire rates and the discount rate applied to future cashflows. The discount rate used in 2020 was 8.5% per annum.
All impairment calculations demand a high degree of estimation. Changes to these estimates may significantly impact the impairment charges recognised, and future changes may lead to reversals of currently recognised impairment charges.
The net aggregate carrying values of the Group’s vessels is US$302,469,000 at 31 December 2021 (2020: US$342,906,000).

On 8 October 2020, the Group announced its intention to list its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cadeler A/S (formerly known as Swire Blue Ocean A/S) on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The entire results from Cadeler A/S have been presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as “Discontinued operation” for the year ended 31 December 2020. The disposal was completed prior to 31 December 2020 and the remaining 47% equity holding in Cadeler A/S was recognised as an investment in associate.

The leases for office space and certain residential spaces and certain housing for employees contain extension periods, for which the related lease payment had not been included in lease liabilities as the Group is not reasonably certain to exercise the extension options. The majority of the extension options are exercisable by the Group and not by the lessor.

Leases – The Group as a lessor
Nature of the Group’s leasing activities – Group as a lessor
The Group leases vessels (the bareboat element under time charter contracts) under operating leases to non-related parties and related corporations. Where considered necessary to reduce credit risk, the Group may obtain bank guarantees for the term of the lease. These leases are classified as an operating lease because the risk and rewards incidental to ownership of the assets are not substantially transferred.

29. | Financial risk management |
Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities expose it to market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.
The Board of Directors is responsible for setting the objectives and underlying principles financial risk management for the Group.
The finance personnel measure actual exposures against the limits set and prepare regular reports for the review of the management team and the Board of Directors of the Company. The information presented below is based on information received by the management team.
(a) | Market risk |
(i) | Currency risk |
The Group is exposed to foreign currencies as some of the business operations are denominated in foreign currencies. The Group manages this risk by entering into currency forwards.
As of 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, the Group’s business operations are exposed to insignificant currency risk.
(ii) | Interest rate risk |
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on bank deposits. The Group periodically reviews its liabilities and monitors interest rate fluctuations to ensure that the exposure to interest rate risk is within acceptable levels.
As at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, the interest rate risk arising from bank deposits is not significant to the financial statements.
29. | Financial risk management (continued) |
(b) | Credit risk |
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group.
(i) | Risk management |
The Group adopts the following policy to mitigate credit risk.
For banks and financial institutions, the Group mitigates its credit risks by transacting with counterparties who are mainly rated “A” and above by independent rating agencies.
The Group adopts the policy of dealing only with customers of appropriate credit history and obtaining sufficient security where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The Group adopts stringent procedures on extending credit terms to customers and on the monitoring of credit risk. These credit terms are normally contractual and credit policies spell out clearly the guidelines on extending credit to customers, including monitoring the process and using related industry’s practices as reference. This includes assessment and valuation of customers’ credit reliability and periodic review of their financial status to determine the credit limits to be granted. Customers are also assessed based on their historical payment records. Where necessary, customers may also be requested to provide security or advance payment before services are rendered.
The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of trade receivables and other receivables, loans to related corporation and cash and bank balances presented on the balance sheet.
For related party credit risk, the Group monitors the credit risk of the related parties to assess if there is any significant increase in credit risk.
29. | Financial risk management (continued) |
(b) Credit risk (continued)
(i) | Credit rating |
The Group uses the following categories of internal credit risk rating for financial assets which are subject to expected credit losses under the 3-stage general approach. These four categories reflect the respective credit risk and how the loss provision is determined for each of those categories.
Category of internal credit rating | Definition of category | Basis for recognition of expected credit losses |
Performing | Borrower or issuer have a low risk of default and a strong capacity to meet contractual cash flows | 12-month expected credit losses |
Under-performing | Borrower or issuer for which there is a significant increase in credit risk; significant increase in credit risk is presumed if interest and/or principal repayment are 30 days past due | Lifetime expected credit losses |
Non-performing | Interest and/or principal payment are 90 days past due | Lifetime expected credit losses |
Write-off | Interest and/or principal repayments are 120 days past due and there is no reasonable expectation of recovery | Asset is written off |
29. | Financial risk management (continued) |
(b) | Credit risk (continued) |
(iii) | Impairment of financial assets |
The Group has applied the simplified approach by using the provision matrix to measure the lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables from customers to measure the expected credit losses.
In measuring the expected credit losses, these receivables are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and days past due. In calculating the expected credit loss rates, the Group considers historical loss rates for each category of customers, and adjusts for forward-looking macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.
Receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Group. The Group categorises a receivable for write off when a debtor fails to make contractual payment greater than 120 days past due based on historical collection trend. Where receivables have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognised in profit or loss.
As at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, management has identified a group of debtors to be credit impaired as they experienced significant financial difficulties. Hence, management has assessed the recoverability of these outstanding balances separately from the provision matrix.
Trade receivables by group of customers:
2021 | 2020 | |||||||
