History and foundation

Early achievements included rapid fleet expansion and the execution of contracts with major energy sector operators.

Key milestones include the completion of the initial public offering (IPO) in 2010, consolidation as one of the world’s largest operators of MR product tankers over the following decade, and the implementation of recurring fleet modernization and optimization programs.
Between 2020 and 2024, relevant developments included strategic adjustments in response to oil market volatility, the impact of the pandemic on maritime trade, strengthened financial discipline, debt reduction initiatives, adaptation to new International Maritime Organization environmental regulations, and fluctuations in share performance influenced by freight cycles and global macroeconomic conditions.
