In brief

What this company does

It transports crude oil and related refined petroleum products, with its vessels operating in the spot and time charter markets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company's fleet consisted of 80 vessels it owned, comprising 41 VLCCs, 21 Suezmax tankers and 18 LR2/Aframax tankers, with an aggregate capacity of approximately 17.6 million DWT. No customer individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company's consolidated operating revenues in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 or 2023. The Company has one reportable segment, tankers, which includes crude oil tankers and product tankers. Its VLCCs are designed for the transportation of crude oil and, due to their size, are primarily used to transport crude oil from the Middle East Gulf to the Far East, Northern Europe, the Caribbean and the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port. Its Suezmax tankers are designed for worldwide trading, with their trade mainly in the Atlantic Basin, Middle East and Southeast Asia. Its LR2/Aframax tankers are designed to be flexible, able to transport primarily refined products, but also fuel and crude oil from smaller ports limited by draft restrictions.

EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.
