Euronav NV and CMB NV, its controlling shareholder, entered into a share purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the shares in CMB.TECH in December 2023, and CMB.TECH CTO Roy Campe is taking an ecosystem view of the technology developments ahead.

CMB and Euronav believe that the addition of CMB.TECH to Euronav’s business will enable a flywheel strategy – positioning the group to tap into each step of the energy transition towards low carbon shipping. Speaking at a Capital Markets Day on January 12, 2024, Campe outlined the company’s history of engine and vessel development but also pointed to its truck, rail and port infrastructure ventures that will deliver new fuels to those vessels.
