PELAGIA SHETLAND LIMITED
Company number SC094953 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Pelagia Shetland Limited presents a structurally low-risk profile, primarily underpinned by its nearly four-decade operating history, substantial share capital, and full ownership by the large Norwegian seafood group, Pelagia AS. While statutory compliance is excellent and the corporate backing provides significant financial reassurance, the inherent volatility of the fish processing sector and the geographic isolation of its Shetland operations require ongoing monitoring. A complete assessment of solvency and liquidity is contingent upon reviewing the detailed financial statements, which were not provided in this dataset.
