Frontline Ltd. ("Frontline"), today announces the formation of Suezmax Chartering, a commercial joint venture with
Diamond S. Shipping LLC and Euronav NV. The aim of the joint venture is to create a single point of contact for cargo owners
to access a large fleet of 43 modern Suezmax vessels, traded operated on the spot market. Frontline will contribute 22 vessels to
the joint venture, including 14 vessels on the water and 8 newbuildings as they are delivered.
A larger fleet will provide more flexibility and more options for cargo owners and also reduce voyage related
expenses by optimizing vessel selection based on proximity to cargoes, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions as a direct
consequence of using less fuel for ballasting movements.
Suezmax Chartering will operate from the existing offices of Frontline, Diamond S and Euronav.
Robert Hvide Macleod, CEO of Frontline Management said: "I look forward to working with Diamond S. and Euronav on
this important venture. We share the common goal of providing safe, timely and high quality service to our customers."
