Preliminary Half year results 2014
Highlights of recent developments
- Acquisition of 4 VLCC vessels
- Successful equity capital raise of USD 125 million
- Recovery in crude tanker rates towards end Q2
- Outlook positive on seasonal demand and improving fundamentals
Paddy Rodgers said: “Following the purchase of 15 VLCC’s in January from Maersk, Euronav has acquired a further 4 VLCC’s in July after a further successful equity raise of USD 125 million. Euronav continues to look for opportunities to exploit its position as one of the largest independent quoted crude tanker platforms. Rates in both VLCC and Suezmax categories have improved significantly during June and July. We believe crude tanker rates will remain strong in the coming months due to positive seasonal demand factors and improving fundamentals.”
