Investment thesis
Looks cheap but ownership + security both unclear — probable value trap.
Why interesting: Headline metrics may be attractive.
Why risky: No PSC visibility combined with multiple live charges; transacting likely slow and expensive.

- · 4 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
- · Legal-friction score 48/100 (high).
