5. POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

Since 2015, Speight Marine has evolved to primarily specialise in the educational and welfare support of International Seafarers studying at UK Nautical Colleges. This support is provided on behalf of their sponsoring Ship Owners.

At the beginning of 2020, support was being provided for 18 Angolan students at City of Glasgow College.

13 completed their courses in mid-March and were immediately repatriated by their sponsors in advance of a shutdown of Angolan airspace due to the Covid Pandemic. As a result, this left Speight Marine responsible for applying on their behalf for their Maritime Certificates from the UK Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA). Given the MCAm was operating with all staff working from home was no mean feat and involved periodic work for Speight Marine Ltd through until August.

The other 5 Angolan students remained in Glasgow beyond March to sit examinations planned for April and May, which in the event were cancelled. These 5 students then became stranded in City of Glasgow Halls of Residence until it became possible to repatriate them during July and August. Again, more periodic work for Speight Marine.

In total, support for these 18 students for 2020/2021 created income for Speight Marine of £3,300, which has been paid and includes refundable claims for various certification costs. In addition, their sponsoring company paid invoices accrued from 2019/2020 totalling another £3,550. This improved finances to allow for the purchase of office equipment which have not been renewed for several years.


Financial Support

During the latter part of 2020, 3 students returned to Glasgow to study for and sit MCA Senior Officer Certificates and they were supported by Speight Marine Ltd untilthey completed during early 2021.The costs for this were invoiced and paid by their Angolam Sponsors during the summer of 2021 representing the £900 trade debtors given in the financial statements.


In 2022 and into 2023, a limited number of students came to the UK requiring support, to the extent that the income derived failed to cover the cost of the service supplied and R W Speight made the decision to fully retire from the end of September 2023.
