AfD for General Maritime Corporation
[edit]@A. B.: at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/General Maritime Corporation you've pointed to references supporting a merge of General Maritime Corporation to Euronav as an alternative to deletion. Neither page references mentions the other, then one General Maritime Corporation reference doesn't mention any link. Could you point to evidence linking the two companies more explicitly?

- It seems I figured it out: According to this news article and this PR statement, Gener8 Maritime is the result of a merger between General Maritime Corporation and another company called Navig8 Crude Tankers Inc., which in turn merged into Euronav in 2017 according to this page. So I might make a sourced mention of that company merger in a section here and then we could merge the content from General Maritime Corporation to here properly.

Request for update – article contains substantial pre-CMB.TECH information
[edit]Hello,
I would like to disclose that I am an employee of CMB.TECH and therefore have a conflict of interest with respect to this article. In accordance with Wikipedia's COI guidelines, I am not making the changes myself but am requesting review by independent editors.
The article was renamed from Euronav to CMB.TECH, but a significant portion of the content still appears to reflect the company's historical Euronav profile rather than its current structure and strategy.
Examples that may merit review include: The lead section currently describes CMB.TECH primarily as a "crude oil tanker transport company" consisting of VLCCs, Suezmaxes and FSOs. However, following the acquisition of CMB.TECH and the subsequent rebranding, the company publicly presents itself as a diversified maritime group active in multiple shipping segments beyond crude oil tankers. Much of the article content focuses on Euronav's historical tanker operations, while relatively little information is provided about the company's current activities in dry bulk, container shipping, chemical tankers, offshore wind support vessels, tugboats, ferries and alternative-fuel technologies. Independent industry reporting and company disclosures indicate that these activities now form part of the broader CMB.TECH group. The corporate history accurately describes the Euronav period, but the article could potentially be expanded regarding the strategic transformation that followed the failed Frontline merger, the acquisition of control by CMB, the acquisition of CMB.TECH by Euronav, and the subsequent rebranding into CMB.TECH. The infobox and company description may no longer fully reflect the current scale and scope of the organization. For example, references to products, activities and fleet composition appear largely focused on the historical tanker business rather than the broader maritime platform described in recent sources. The article currently contains extensive detail on historical tanker fleet acquisitions and transactions, while more recent developments relating to decarbonisation, hydrogen and ammonia propulsion initiatives, and fleet diversification appear underrepresented relative to their importance in the company's current strategy.
Potential sources that may assist editors include Reuters coverage, Euronext announcements, major maritime-industry publications (TradeWinds, Lloyd's List, The Maritime Executive, Seatrade Maritime), and the company's annual reports.
I am not proposing specific replacement wording. I am simply requesting a review by independent editors to determine whether the article should be updated to better reflect the company's current structure, activities and strategic direction using reliable sources.
Thank you for your consideration. ~2026-33072-20 (talk) 13:21, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
