Euronav is a vertically integrated owner operator and manager able to provide complete shipping services in addition to its fleet of modern large tankers. The crude oil sea-borne transportation market is cyclical and highly volatile requiring flexible, proactive management of assets in terms of fleet composition and employment. The Euronav core fleet has an average age of a little over 6 years. Euronav operates its fleet both on the spot and the period market. Most of Euronav's VLCCs and 1 V-Plus are operated in the Tankers International pool. The majority of its Suezmax fleet is fixed on long term charter.
