Strategic Merger with Golden Ocean
Cmb.Tech announced a merger with Golden Ocean, which will create a leading diversified maritime group with a fleet of 250 vessels, including 50 newbuildings, and $3 billion contract backlog.
Significant Contract Additions
Cmb.Tech added $1 billion in contracts in Q1, including agreements with Fortescue and MOL for ammonia-powered and ammonia-ready vessels.
Successful Divestments
The sale of three VLCCs is expected to bring $100 million in capital gains in the next quarters, with $46 million gained in Q1 from other divestments.
Positive Outlook for Tankers
Achieved earnings for tankers were $40,000 per day in Q1 and increased to $43,000 in Q2. The company is bullish on the tanker market due to a low order book and aging fleet.
Advancements in Decarbonization
The company is advancing its strategy of decarbonization with MEPC '83 regulation, promoting ammonia as a future fuel, and engaging in hydrogen and ammonia projects in Namibia.
