STENA CARRON DRILLING LIMITED generally exhibits a strong tendency for prompt payments, with 84% of invoices settled within 30 days. Despite this efficiency, the average payment time extends to 44 days, indicating a consistent pattern where 16% of payments frequently take longer than 30 days, with 8% falling into the 31-60 day range and another 8% exceeding 60 days.
While the majority of payments are timely, a notable 9% of invoices are classified as late, with 8% taking over 60 days to settle. This introduces a moderate level of unpredictability for a segment of transactions, suggesting that suppliers may encounter occasional delays beyond standard terms, impacting immediate cash flow reliability.
Overall, STENA CARRON DRILLING LIMITED is a generally reliable payer, but suppliers should anticipate that approximately 16% of payments may extend beyond 30 days, including a small risk of late payments. Suppliers are advised to establish clear payment terms and consider factoring in the average 44-day payment cycle when managing their own cash flow projections and credit limits.
