Hafnia presses ahead with New York listing plans

Hafnia, the world’s largest product tanker owner, has publicly filed a registration statement for a New York listing to go alongside its existing position on the Oslo Bors, a move other owners have pursued recently. 

Mikael Skov, the CEO of the BW Group subsidiary, said last year: “Our goal is for Hafnia to reach out to a wider shareholder base, access the world’s largest capital market and improve the share liquidity for all our shareholders.” 

BW LPG and Greece’s Okeanis Eco Tankers are among other owners to have pursued similar dual listing plans recently.
