FRO snag EURN

It has been years since Frontline (FRO) has been top dog in the tanker sector.

Late last year, John Fredriksen (FRO backer) took a 5% stake in Belgian tanker giant Euronav (EURN).
Now apparently the two are combining forces, with the combined entity keeping the name of the smaller player.

So three big questions

  1. Will Fredriksen be able to continue to influence FRO decisions as he has in the past?
  2. What happens to Tanker International (TI), the VLCC trading pool that EURN helped establish?
  3. Plans for the two tanker ULCCs and the joint venture that owns the other two ULCCs (both working a Total contract)?
