Another abrupt change
The US Trade Representative on 17 April published revised US port fees with significant changes to the initial proposal based on industry feedback. In its current form, the fees will primarily discourage use of Chinese-controlled maritime trade services to the US, and directly affect the use of Chinese-built vessels in US ports (with several considerable exemptions to avoid harm to US trade). The previous broader fees based on fleet composition and share of Chinese-built vessels has been scrappe...

CMB.Tech Signing charter agreement with Fortescue for NH3 fitted Newca...
CMB.Tech signed an agreement with the Australian miner Fortescue to charter a new ammonia-powered vessel. The 210k dwt ammonia-powered Newcastlemax will feature a dual fuel engine and is expected to be delivered by the end of 2026. No contract details have been disclosed, but as the Newcastlemax has been bought at risk by CMB a while ago the charter terms are expected to yield appealing IRRs and bring long contract duration. Following the LT charter agreement with MOL announced a few weeks back,...

US Tariffs Navigating the impact on Benelux equities
Trumps reciprocal tariffs caused a massive blow to equity markets, following a pressured period of escalating trade wars. Retaliatory measures can further heavily damage market confidence, as seen Friday when China announced their 34% tarrif of US goods. International trade policies have never moved this erratic and untransparant, with uncertainty and volatility being the baseline for now. In this report we highlight the key stocks in our coverage relevant to this discussion.

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

CMB.TECH (Sell, TP: USD7.60) - Dry bulk expansion at a premium
We expect more news to be announced on its Golden Ocean ambitions in the weeks ahead, but the recent SEC filing could indicate a potential future share-based tie-up. In such a scenario, CMB.TECH would vastly expand its dry bulk exposure, with potentially cash-generating assets on the water. However, this is at odds with our more muted dry bulk sector outlook and what we believe was a premium valuation. We reinstate our recommendation with a SELL and USD7.6 target price.

‘The times they are a-changin’
The recurring theme at our 18th Energy & Shipping Conference was geopolitical uncertainty and a potential trade war, warranting a wait-and-see approach, particularly on the Trump 2.0 effect. The consensus view pointed to high asset values, with no rush to the yards, aligning with below-NAV valuations across most of our coverage. However, panellists generally saw less downside risk than the 25% average discount to steel for our Tanker, Dry Bulk and Gas coverage. Overall, the day highlighted uncer...

CMB.TECH (No_rec, TP: USD) - Recommendation and target price withdrawn
The company has agreed to acquire Hemen’s Golden Ocean stake (40.8%) at a price around the peak share price in May 2024, and above the market (46%) and our NAV (15%). On the face of it, we see NAV dilution for CMB.TECH, while initially the only change for Golden Ocean shareholders is a shift in main shareholder from John Fredriksen to the Saverys family. Given DNB Markets’ role in the transaction, we have withdrawn our recommendation and target price.
