Well done sudokulover, 1 + 2 are correct,

But let me ask you a question.

In clue number 1, the original clue read, Cash left aboard.....

I changed the clue to, Case left aboard.....

I thought Cash was a misprint because I didn't think that Cash meant Portfolio, it has no reference in the Chambers to meaning cash, do you agree?

All other clues are original
