Score of 87.1/100 qualifies for PaymentCheck Certification
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.

Stena Carron Drilling Limited is registered at the same London address used by several companies within the Stena Drilling group, an independent offshore drilling contractor group that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stena AB. The group's core business is offshore oil and gas drilling, operating a fleet of ultra-deepwater drillships and a semi-submersible rig, providing drilling services to energy sector clients worldwide. Its Companies House classification covers support activities for petroleum and natural gas extraction. This entity itself appears to function as part of that wider group structure rather than as an independently trading operator, reflecting the group's naming convention linked to its drillship fleet, which includes a vessel named Stena Carron.
