CMB.Tech Landmark LT charter agreement with MOL & controlling half of GO board

Last Friday Golden Ocean announced that CMB.Tech now controls two out of four of its board seats. This follows the strategic acquisition in early March of the 40.8% stake previously held by John Frederiksen. This morning during trading hours, CMB.Tech further bolstered its position by announcing a significant long-term time charter agreement with the Japanese shipping conglomerate MOL, involving nine ammonia-ready/fitted vessels. This agreement adds approximately $675 million (pro rata) to its $2 billion backlog, derisking fleet expansion and demonstrating market acceptance of its ammonia-fueled rejuvenated fleet as NH3 engine technology/trialling enters the market. Buy reiterated.
