Key Ideas
  • Euronav NV's shareholders approved the name change to CMB.TECH NV, reflecting a strategic shift towards futureproof maritime solutions.
  • The group, comprising Euronav and CMB.TECH, focuses on large-scale marine applications in hydrogen and ammonia, catering to various industries.
  • The company, headquartered in Antwerp, Belgium, aims to offer hydrogen and ammonia fuel through in-house production capabilities and third-party collaborations.
  • This rebranding signifies a transformation to a diversified maritime group with a strong focus on energy transition and sustainability in the shipping sector.
Euronav NV has received formal approval from its shareholders to change its name to CMB.TECH NV, with the effective date set for 1st October 2024. The decision was made at the Special General Meeting and Extraordinary General Meeting held recently. The transformation not only includes the name change but also represents a strategic shift towards becoming a futureproof maritime group. Euronav and CMB.TECH form a combined entity with a fleet of over 150 ocean-going vessels, including newbuildings, in segments like dry bulk, container shipping, chemical tankers, offshore wind, and oil tankers. The group's primary focus lies in large marine applications related to hydrogen and ammonia, offering fuel solutions to customers through internal production or collaborations with third-party producers. Although Euronav will retain its identity as an oil tanker shipping company within the group, the move towards the CMB.TECH name reflects a broader commitment to innovation and sustainability in the maritime industry. With headquarters in Antwerp, Belgium, and a presence across Europe and Asia, the rebranded CMB.TECH NV is set to lead the way in driving energy transition and environmental responsibility in the shipping sector.
