Frontline disclosed a fleet-renewal transaction that adds nine latest-generation VLCC newbuildings while selling eight older VLCCs, so the defensible downstream effect is a modest increase/renewal of future VLCC—not LPG—transport capacity.
“Entered into agreements to sell eight of our oldest first-generation ECO VLCCs, built between 2015 and 2016 to an unrelated third party, for a total sales price of $831.5 million and to acquire nine latest generation scrubber-fitted ECO VLCC newbuildings from affiliates of Hemen Holding Limited, the Company’s largest shareholder (“Hemen”), for an aggregate purchase price of $1,224.0 million.”
