Euronav Regulation & ESG drive first mover advantage in grey to green transition

At the January CMD the Saverys family informed the markets on the future strategy of Euronav and explained how the acquisition of CMB.Tech would be instrumental in this regard. The outcome of the mandatory tender brought ownership of the family to 81% suggesting investors need more time to evaluate the strategic overhaul. We believe the newbuild contracting of green vessels is economically sound and not dogmatic. Strengthening regulation & rising ESG scrutiny will bring a first mover advantage to the green shipowner whilst solid dynamics in the crude tanker market generate healthy cash flows & repayment capacity.
