Euronav looks set to head to the US capital markets as one of the world’s top-five VLCC owners by fleet size after its second major acquisition of the year.
Peter Livanos and Marc Saverys-backed Euronav this week paid $342m for a series of four modern Japanese-built units to follow up its $980m swoop for the Maersk Tankers fleet in January.
Euronav has $100m in fresh equity to help pay for the latest quartet, it said in a statement, which stressed its continued interest in obtaining a listing in the US.
