Good day all,

I'm looking at compiling a list of UK based short sea owners that have sadly ceased trading in recent years, aside the likes of Union Transport, Ramsey, Coastal Bulk (Lapthorn) etc, since 2005 which other UK based owners have ceased trading such as Absolute Shipping currently in Oct / Nov?

Thanks, open to comments!
