General Information [Abstract] | |
GENERAL INFORMATION | 1. GENERAL INFORMATION Frontline plc (formerly Frontline Ltd.), the Company or Frontline, is an international shipping company formerly incorporated in Bermuda as an exempted company under the Bermuda Companies Law of 1981 on June 12, 1992. At a Special General Meeting on December 20, 2022, the Company's shareholders agreed to redomicile the Company to the Republic of Cyprus under the name of Frontline plc (the “Redomiciliation”). The Company was officially redomiciled to Cyprus on December 30, 2022. The business, assets and liabilities of Frontline Ltd. and its subsidiaries prior to the Redomiciliation were the same as Frontline plc immediately after the Redomiciliation on a consolidated basis, as well as its fiscal year. In addition, the directors and executive officers of the Frontline plc immediately after the Redomiciliation were the same individuals who were directors and executive officers, respectively, of Frontline Ltd. immediately prior to the Redomiciliation. Prior to the Redomiciliation, Frontline Ltd.’s ordinary shares were listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and Oslo Stock Exchange (“OSE”) under the symbol “FRO”. Upon effectiveness of the Redomiciliation, the Company’s ordinary shares continue to be listed on the NYSE and OSE and commenced trading under the new name Frontline plc and the new CUSIP number M46528101 and the new ISIN CY0200352116 on the NYSE on January 3, 2023 and on the OSE on January 13, 2023. Frontline plc’s Legal Entity Identifier number was not affected by the Redomiciliation and remains the same. The Company operates oil tankers of two sizes: VLCCs, which are between 200,000 and 320,000 dwt, and Suezmax tankers, which are vessels between 120,000 and 170,000 dwt, and operates LR2/Aframax tankers, which are clean product tankers, and range in size from 110,000 to 115,000 dwt. The Company operates through subsidiaries located in Cyprus, Bermuda, Liberia, the Marshall Islands, Norway, the United Kingdom, Singapore and China. The Company is also involved in the charter, purchase and sale of vessels. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's fleet consisted of 76 owned vessels, with an aggregate capacity of approximately 15.9 million DWT (33 VLCCs, 25 Suezmax tankers and 18 LR2/Aframax tankers). |

Dec. 31, 2023 | |
Material Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1. Basis of presentation Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on April 26, 2024, and authorized for issue. 2. Use of judgements and estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Company's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which are the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed periodically. Revisions to estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Information about judgements and area where significant estimates have been made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statement is included in the following notes: • Note 12 - Depreciation: The cost of the vessels less estimated residual value is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the vessels' estimated remaining economic useful lives. The selection of an appropriate useful economic life requires significant estimation. In addition, residual value may vary due to changes in market prices on scrap. See policy 8.3. for further details. Change in useful life of vessels Historically the Company has applied a 25 year useful economic life to its vessels. The Company reviews estimated useful lives and residual values each year. Estimated useful lives may change due to changed end user requirements, costs related to maintenance and upgrades, technological development and competition as well as industry, environmental and legal requirements. Specifically, the Company has noted that many of our customers apply stringent vetting requirements to vessels to ensure that the most rigorous technical standards are adhered to in their value chain. As a result, many customers apply age criteria to the vessels they are willing to charter. In recent years, the Company has noted a two-tier market forming, with vessels under 20 years of age, or lower, favored by top tier charterers, and vessels over 20 years being considered candidates for recycling, or being utilized in markets other than the spot market in which we primarily compete. Furthermore, as a result of the increased focus on environmental factors for both owners and investors it is expected that the competitive age threshold for a vessel may decrease as costs to comply with upcoming regulations may increase moving forward. As of December 31, 2022, the Company revised the estimated useful life of its vessels from 25 years to 20 years as a result of its analysis of the aforementioned factors. This change in estimate was applied prospectively from January 1, 2023 and did not result in any restatement to the prior year consolidated financial statements. • Note 12 - Vessel impairment: The carrying amounts of the Company's vessels may not represent their fair market value at any point in time since the market prices of secondhand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in charter rates and the cost of newbuildings. Historically, both charter rates and vessel values tend to be cyclical. When events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or Cash Generating Unit ("CGU") might not be recovered, the Company performs an impairment test whereby the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is compared to its recoverable amount, which is the greater of its value in use, based on discounted cash flows, and its fair value less cost to sell. In developing estimates of future cash flows in order to assess value in use, the Company must make assumptions about future performance, with significant assumptions being related to charter rates, ship operating expenses, utilization, dry docking and other capital requirements, residual value, the estimated remaining useful lives of the vessels and the probability of lease terminations for right-of-use assets. These assumptions are based on historical trends as well as future expectations. See policy 10.2. for further details. • Note 14 - Goodwill impairment: The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. Our future operating results may be affected by potential impairment charges related to goodwill. Events or circumstances may occur that could negatively impact our ordinary share price, including changes in our anticipated revenues and profits and our ability to execute on our strategies. See policy 10.2. for further details. Measurement of fair values A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows. • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following notes: • Note 9 - Marketable securities • Note 12 - Vessel impairment • Note 14 - Goodwill impairment • Note 19 - Financial instruments; and • Note 21 - Share options 3. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts for us and our wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The results of acquired companies are included in our Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss from the date of acquisition. For investments in which we have significant influence over the operating and financial policies, the equity method of accounting is used. Accordingly, our share of the earnings and losses of these companies are included in the share of results of associated companies in the Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss. 4. Foreign currency Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate applicable at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period are translated to U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate applicable at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are generally recognized in profit or loss. 5. Financial Instruments Recognition and initial measurement Trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities (including financial assets designated as Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income ("FVOCI")) are initially recognized on the trade date, which is the date that the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are initially measured at their transaction price including any transaction costs, except equity instruments designated as Fair Value through Profit or Loss ("FVTPL") or FVOCI, which are measured at fair value. Financial liabilities are recognized initially at their transaction price less any directly attributable transaction costs. The fair values of equity investments are based on quoted prices. Financial assets and liabilities are not offset and are presented gross in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position unless the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 5.1. Financial assets Classification and subsequent measurement On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified and measured at: amortized cost; FVOCI- equity instrument; or FVTPL. The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model. A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL: • It is held within a business model whose objectives is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and • Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis. All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise. Marketable securities Marketable securities held by the Company are listed equity securities and are classified and measured at FVTPL unless the election to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI is made. No such elections have been made by the Company. Derecognition The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. 5.2. Financial liabilities Classification and subsequent measurement Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is a derivative. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is recognized in profit or loss unless the interest is capitalized as borrowing costs. Non-derivative financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, lease liabilities and trade and other payables. Derecognition The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expired. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss. Debt issuance costs Debt issuance costs, including debt arrangement fees, are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the relevant loan. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense. If a loan is repaid early, any unamortized portion of the related debt issuance costs is expensed in the period in which the loan is repaid. Debt modifications are accounted for prospectively and any applicable new debt issuance costs are deferred and amortized together with the existing unamortized debt issuance costs as of the date of the modification. The Company has recorded debt issuance costs as a deduction from the carrying amount of debt. 5.3. Derivative financial instruments The Company enters into interest rate swap transactions from time to time to hedge a portion of its exposure to floating interest rates. These transactions involve the conversion of floating rates into fixed rates for an agreed period without an exchange of underlying principal. The fair values of the interest rate swap contracts are recognized as assets or liabilities. None of the interest rate swaps qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in fair values of the interest rate swap contracts are recognized net of interest income or expense in profit or loss within Finance expense. Cash outflows and inflows resulting from the interest rate swap contracts are classified as cash flows from operations in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to align with the classification of the underlying finance costs. IFRS 9 applies to contracts to buy or sell a non-derivative non-financial item that can be settled net in cash or another financial instrument, or by exchanging financial instruments, as if the contracts were financial instruments, with the exception of contracts that were entered into and continue to be held for the purpose of the receipt or delivery of a non-financial item in accordance with the entity’s expected purchase, sale or usage requirements. 6. Cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to their use are classified separately in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, either as Restricted cash or another financial statement line item based on the nature of the balance. Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to their use for at least 12 months following the balance sheet date, and/or are non-current in nature are classified as non-current assets. Changes in restricted cash are classified and presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows based on the nature of the underlying transaction. 7. Inventories Inventories comprise principally of bunkers and lubricating oils and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Bunkers and lubricating oils expense is recognized in profit or loss upon consumption. 8. Vessels and equipment 8.1 Owned assets Vessels and items of equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of assets includes; • The cost of materials and direct labour; • Any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use; and • Capitalized borrowing costs. Gains and losses on disposal of a vessel or of another item of equipment are determined by comparing the net proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the vessel or the item of equipment and are recognized in profit or loss. For the sale of vessels, transfer of risks and rewards usually occurs upon delivery of the vessel to the new owner. 8.2 Newbuildings Newbuildings represent vessels under construction and are carried at the amounts paid or payable according to the installments in the contract and capitalized borrowing costs. Installments are often linked to milestones such as signing of contract, steel cutting, keel laying, launching and delivery. Borrowing costs are capitalized during construction of newbuildings based on accumulated expenditures for the applicable project at the Company's current weighted average rate of borrowing. Refer to accounting policy 10.2. for impairment considerations for owned vessels and newbuildings. 8.3. Depreciation Depreciation is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of vessels and items of equipment. Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The cost of the vessels less estimated residual value is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the vessels' estimated remaining economic useful lives. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. As explained in policy 2.2., as of December 31, 2022, the Company revised the estimated useful life of its vessels from 25 years to 20 years. This change in estimate was applied prospectively from January 1, 2023 and did not result in any restatement to the prior year consolidated financial statements. Other equipment, excluding vessel upgrades, is depreciated over its estimated remaining useful life, which approximates 5 years. The residual value for owned vessels is calculated by multiplying the lightweight tonnage of the vessel by the market price of scrap per ton. The Company capitalizes and depreciates the costs of significant replacements, renewals and upgrades to its vessels over the shorter of the vessel’s remaining useful life or the life of the renewal or upgrade. Costs that are not capitalized are recorded as a component of direct vessel operating expenses during the period incurred. Expenses for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Advances paid in respect of vessel upgrades in relation to exhaust gas cleaning systems ("EGCS") and ballast water treatment systems ("BWTS") are included within "other non-current assets", until such time as the equipment is installed on a vessel, at which point it is transferred to "Vessels and equipment". 8.4. Dry docking – component approach Our vessels are required by their respective classification societies to go through a dry dock at regular intervals. In general, vessels below the age of 15 years are docked every 5 years and vessels older than 15 years are docked every 2.5 years. Significant components of property, plant and equipment with differing depreciation methods or lives are depreciated separately. Major inspection or overhaul costs, such as dry docking, are identified and accounted for as a separate component and depreciated over the period to the next scheduled dry docking (2.5 - 5 years). A portion of the initial cost of a vessel is allocated to the dry docking component upon delivery based on the age of the vessel and an estimate of the expected dry dock cost and depreciated over the period to the next scheduled dry docking. When a dry docking is performed, the carrying amount of any remaining unamortized dry docking costs related to previous dry docks (due to any difference between the estimated and actual time between dry docks) is derecognized. Costs associated with routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred including routine maintenance performed while the vessel is in dry dock. 9. Goodwill We allocate the cost of acquired companies to identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, with the remaining amount being classified as goodwill. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in profit or loss. After initial recognition goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, refer to accounting policy 10.2. 10. Impairment 10.1 Loans, receivables and contract assets The gross carrying amount of loans, receivables and contract assets is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering the outstanding amount in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Company assesses allowances for its estimate of expected credit losses based on historical experience, other currently available evidence, and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future, including the use of credit default ratings from third party providers of credit rating data. The Company assesses credit risk in relation to its receivables using a portfolio approach. The Company's main portfolio segments include (i) state-owned enterprises, (ii) oil majors, (iii) commodities traders and (iv) related parties and affiliated companies. In addition, the Company performs individual assessments for customers that do not share risk characteristics with other customers (for example a customer under bankruptcy or a customer with known disputes or collectability issues). The Company makes significant judgements and assumptions to estimate its expected losses. 10.2. Non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventory and contract assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash generating units ("CGUs"). Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its fair value less cost of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. Future cash flows are based on current market conditions, historical trends as well as future expectations. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill shall not be reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized. Owned vessels, newbuildings and vessel right-of-use assets When events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or CGU might not be recovered, the Company performs an impairment test whereby the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is compared to its recoverable amount, which is the greater of its value in use, based on discounted cash flows, and its fair value less cost to sell. We define our CGU as a single vessel as each vessel generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other vessels. In assessing whether there is any indication that a vessel may be impaired, the Company considers internal and external indicators, including but not limited to: • the estimated market values for our vessels received from independent ship brokers have declined during the period significantly more than we would expect as a result of the passage of time or normal use. The ship brokers assess each vessel based on, among others, age, yard, deadweight capacity and compare this to market transactions. • significant changes with an adverse effect on the Company have taken place during the period, or will take place in the near future, in the legal and regulatory environment in which the Company operates, and the tanker market, including negative developments in actual and forecasted time charter equivalent rates ("TCE rates"). • market interest rates have increased during the period, and the increase is likely to affect the discount rate used in calculating a vessel’s value in use and decrease the asset’s recoverable amount materially. • the carrying amount of the net assets of the Company is more than its market capitalization. • evidence is available of obsolescence or physical damage of a vessel. • significant changes with an adverse effect on the Company have taken place during the period, or are expected to take place in the near future, in the extent to which, or manner in which, a vessel is used or is expected to be used. • evidence that the economic performance of a vessel is, or will be, worse than expected, including: ◦ actual or forecasted TCE rates are significantly worse than expected; ◦ cash flows for acquiring a vessel, or subsequent cash needs for operating or maintaining it, are significantly higher than expected; ◦ actual net cash flows or operating profit are significantly worse than expected; ◦ a significant decline in budgeted net cash flows or operating profit; or ◦ operating losses or net cash outflows. If such impairment indicators are identified, the vessel’s recoverable amount is estimated. In developing estimates of future cash flows in order to assess value in use, the Company must make assumptions about future performance, with significant assumptions being related to charter rates, ship operating expenses, utilization, dry docking and other capital requirements, residual value, the estimated remaining useful lives of the vessels and the probability of lease terminations for vessels held under lease. These assumptions are based on historical trends as well as future expectations. Specifically, in estimating future charter rates, management takes into consideration rates currently in effect for existing time charters and estimated daily time charter equivalent rates for each vessel class for the unfixed days over the estimated remaining lives of each of the vessels. The estimated daily time charter equivalent rates used for unfixed days are based on a combination of (i) internally developed forecasts, and (ii) historical rates, based on quarterly average rates published by an independent third party maritime research service, for a historical period determined based on management's judgment of past and ongoing shipping cycles. Recognizing that the transportation of crude oil is cyclical and subject to significant volatility based on factors beyond the Company's control, management believes the use of estimates based on the combination of internally forecast rates and historical average rates calculated as of the reporting date to be reasonable. Estimated outflows for operating expenses and dry docking requirements are based on historical and budgeted costs and are adjusted for assumed inflation. Finally, utilization is based on historical levels achieved and estimates of a residual value are consistent with the pattern of scrap rates used in management's evaluation of salvage value. Other capital requirements for newbuildings are primarily based on amounts payable according to the installments in the contract. The weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") used to calculate the value in use of our assets is calculated to reflect the industry-weighted average return on debt and equity using observable market data and approximates a pre-tax discount rate. The more significant factors that could impact management's assumptions regarding time charter equivalent rates include (i) loss or reduction in business from significant customers, (ii) unanticipated changes in demand for transportation of crude oil and oil products, (iii) changes in production of or demand for oil, generally or in particular regions, (iv) greater than anticipated levels of tanker newbuilding orders or lower than anticipated levels of tanker scrapping, and (v) changes in rules and regulations applicable to the tanker industry, including legislation adopted by international organizations such as IMO and the EU or by individual countries. Although management believes that the assumptions used to evaluate potential impairment are reasonable and appropriate at the time they were made, such assumptions are highly subjective and likely to change, possibly materially, in the future. Tanker charter rates are volatile and can experience long periods at depressed levels. Future assessments of vessel impairment would be adversely affected by reductions in vessel values and charter rates. Goodwill Goodwill is not amortized, but rather reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The Company has one group of CGUs for the purpose of assessing potential goodwill impairment and has selected September 30 as its annual goodwill impairment testing date. A CGU is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing whether the recoverable amount of a CGU to which goodwill has been allocated is less than its carrying amount, the Company assesses relevant events and circumstances, including (i) macroeconomic conditions; (ii) industry and market conditions; (iii) changes in cost factors that may impact earnings and cash flows; (iv) overall financial performance; (v) other entity specific events such as changes in management, strategy, customers or key personnel; (vi) other events and (vii) if applicable, changes in the Company's share price, both in absolute terms and relative to peers. The recoverable amount of the Company's one group of CGUs is the higher of its fair value less cost of disposal and value in use. We estimate the fair value less cost of disposal of this group of CGUs based on the Company's market capitalization plus a control premium, as needed, excluding the fair value of financial instruments and other items that are not being tested for impairment. Control premium assumptions require judgment and actual results may differ from assumed or estimated amounts. The fair value measurement uses Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 inputs from the fair value hierarchy. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the Company. Future cash flows are based on current market conditions, historical trends as well as future expectations. 11. Revenue and expense recognition 11.1. Voyage charters In a voyage charter contract, the charterer hires the vessel to transport a specific agreed-upon cargo for a single voyage. The consideration in such a contract is determined on the basis of a freight rate per metric ton of cargo carried or occasionally on a lump sum basis. The charterer is responsible for any short loading of cargo or "dead" freight. The voyage charter party generally has standard payment terms with freight paid on completion of discharge. The voyage charter party generally has a "demurrage" clause. As per this clause, the charterer reimburses us for any potential delays exceeding the allowed laytime as per the charter party clause at the ports visited, which is recorded as voyage revenue. A |

INCOME TAXES | 7. INCOME TAXES Certain of the Company's subsidiaries are tax resident in Cyprus, Singapore, China, Norway and the United Kingdom and are subject to income tax in their respective jurisdictions. Such taxes are not material to our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. Cyprus Under the provisions of Cyprus tax laws, such income shall be included in the estimation of taxable income to be taxed at the rate of 12.5%. In line with the Cypriot tonnage tax system, the Company pays tax calculated on the basis of the net tonnage of the qualifying vessels the Company owns, charters or manages. The option for tonnage tax is valid for ten years. Tonnage tax payable in relation to our vessel owning subsidiaries are recorded as ship operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss. On October 3, 2023, the Cyprus Ministry of Finance initiated a public consultation to incorporate the EU Directive, aimed at establishing a global minimum tax level for multinational and large-scale domestic enterprise groups, into national legislation. This EU Directive, originating from the OECD/G20 BEPS Pillar Two Model Rules on December 14, 2022, seeks to ensure fair taxation practices internationally. Following the completion of the consultation phase on October 31, 2023, the proposed legislation has been forwarded to the Cyprus House of Parliament for approval and as of December 31, 2023 and the date of these financial statements the legislation has not been approved. The anticipated ratification of the bill in 2024 will see its provisions become retroactively effective from January 1, 2024 and it will be applicable to the Company. Management is currently evaluating the potential implications of the draft bill on the Company's operations and financial statements. United States For the three years ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not accrue U.S. income taxes as the Company is not engaged in a U.S. trade or business and is exempted from a gross basis tax under Section 883 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Under Section 863(c)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, 50% of all transportation revenue attributable to transportation which begins or ends in the United States shall be treated as from sources within the United States where no Section 883 exemption is available. Such revenue is subject to 4% tax. No revenue tax has been recorded in voyage expenses and commissions in the year ended December 31, 2023 (2022: nil, 2021: nil). The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits, material accrued interest or penalties relating to income taxes.

EARNINGS PER SHARE | 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed based on the income available to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of the assumed conversion of potentially dilutive instruments, for which there was no impact in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 as there were no potentially dilutive stock options in the periods. The impact of stock options using the treasury stock method was anti-dilutive in the year ended December 31, 2021 as the Company recorded a net loss and the exercise price was higher than the average share price in the period; therefore 58,000 potentially dilutive stock options were excluded from the calculation in 2021. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2022 of 214,011,000 includes the impact of the 19,091,910 shares issued to Hemen for no cash consideration in connection with the Euronav NV ("Euronav") share acquisition . Refer to Note 9 for further details. The components of the numerator and the denominator in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows: (in thousands of $) 2023 2022 2021 Profit (loss) for the period 656,414 475,537 (14,961) (in thousands) Weighted average number of basic and diluted shares 222,623 214,011 198,965 Cash dividends paid per share $2.87 $0.15 — |

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase 24 VLCCs with an average age of 5.3 years, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,350.0 million from Euronav (the "Acquisition"). All of the agreements relating to the Acquisition came into effect in November 2023. In December 2023, the Company took delivery of 11 of the vessels for consideration of $1,112.2 million. The Company had a commitment of $890.0 million for the remaining 13 vessels to be delivered excluding $347.8 million of prepaid consideration as of December 31, 2023. The Company took delivery of the 13 remaining vessels in the first quarter of 2024. In the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company also; • completed the installation of EGCS on two vessels; • took delivery of two VLCCs newbuildings, Front Orkla and Front Tyne ; • sold one VLCC, Front Eminence, and two Suezmax tankers, Front Balder and Front Njord ; and • performed dry docks on 10 vessels. In the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company; • completed the installation of EGCS on eight vessels; • took delivery of four VLCC newbuildings, Front Alta, Front Tweed, Front Tana and Front Gaula; • sold two LR2 tankers, Front Lion and Front Panther; and • performed dry docks on 14 vessels. In the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company; • completed the installation of EGCS on two vessels and the installation of BWTS on one vessel; • took delivery of two VLCCs, Front Driva and Front Nausta ; • took delivery of four LR2 newbuildings, Front Favour, Front Feature, Front Fusion and Front Future ; • sold two LR2 tankers, Front Puma and Front Tiger ; and • performed dry docks on 11 vessels. Impairment As of December 31, 2021 To determine whether detailed impairment testing was required for our owned vessels, including newbuildings, as of December 31, 2021, the Company assessed whether there was any indication that our vessels may be impaired as of this date by considering internal and external indicators. Based on this assessment, we observed that the estimated market values received from independent ship brokers were less than the carrying amount of the majority of our vessels. This was considered to be an impairment indicator and as such, the recoverable amounts of all our vessels was estimated based on the value in use calculation using cash flow projections. The estimated recoverable amount of all our vessels were significantly higher than the carrying amounts and no impairment loss was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022 To determine whether it was necessary to re-estimate the recoverable amounts of our owned vessels, including newbuildings, as of December 31, 2022, the Company assessed whether any events had occurred that would eliminate the difference calculated between the carrying amounts and recoverable amounts as of December 31, 2021. Based on this assessment, we observed that the estimated market values received from independent ship brokers had increased significantly during the period for all our vessels and actual and forecasted TCE rates and operating results had also improved significantly. Furthermore, the estimated recoverable amounts of all our vessels as of December 31, 2021 were not sensitive to possible impairment indicators, including the change in useful life of our vessels from 25 to 20 years as of January 1, 2023. Accordingly, we did not re-estimate our vessel's recoverable amounts as of December 31, 2022 and no impairment loss was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2023 We did not identify any events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of our owned vessels might not be recovered as of December 31, 2023. Based on our assessment, we observed that the estimated market values received from independent ship brokers had increased since December 31, 2022 for all our vessels. We have not observed negative developments in forecasted market TCE rates and operating results have also improved significantly during the period. Furthermore, the Company's market capitalization was significantly higher than the carrying amount of its net assets as of December 31, 2023. Accordingly, no impairment loss was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2023. |

In April 2022, the Company announced that its subsidiary Frontline Shipping Limited had agreed with SFL to terminate the long-term charters for these vessels upon the sale and delivery of the vessels by SFL to an unrelated third party. As of January 1, 2021, the Company leased in two vessels from a third party on time charters that were classified as leases which were terminated in the year end December 31, 2021 when the vessels were redelivered to the owners. The right-of-use assets for offices relate to lease agreements for office space. For further details on the Company's leases see Note 18. 18. LEASES As a lessee The Company is committed to make rental payments under leases for office premises. Certain of these leases include variable lease elements linked to inflation indexes. Such variable payments were estimated at the time of recognition on the index at that time and are included in the minimum lease payments. The future minimum lease payments under the Company's leases as at December 31, 2023 were as follows: (in thousands of $) 2024 1,154 2025 1,450 Total minimum lease payments 2,604 Less: Imputed interest (70) Present value of obligations under leases 2,534 The future minimum lease payments under the Company's leases as at December 31, 2022 were as follows: (in thousands of $) 2023 1,103 2024 1,206 2025 1,237 Total minimum lease payments 3,546 Less: Imputed interest (150) Present value of obligations under leases 3,396 Total cash outflows for leases was $0.9 million, $2.9 million and $11.8 million in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Expense for office leases was $0.9 million, $0.9 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company incurred lease expenses of nil (2022: $2.2 million, 2021: $8.6 million) in relation to the vessels leased-in from SFL, an affiliated company, Front Energy and Front Force . Contingent rental income recorded in the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to the fact that the profit share expense accrued in the lease obligation payable when the leases were recorded at fair value at the time of Frontline's merger with Frontline 2012 Ltd. was $0.6 million higher than the actual profit share expense payable to SFL, as no profit share was payable for the period. The Company recorded contingent rental income of $3.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to the fact that the actual profit share expense payable of $0.3 million was $3.6 million less than the amount accrued in the lease obligation payable when the leases were recorded at fair value at the time of the merger between the Company and Frontline 2012 Ltd. The Company incurred lease expenses of nil (2022: nil, 2021: $2.7 million) in relation to two vessels leased in from a third party on time charters that were classified as leases. Interest expense incurred in relation to the leased-in vessels is disclosed in Note 6. The weighted-average discount rate based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate, or IBR, in relation to the leases was 2.5% for the year ended December 31, 2023 (2022: 2.7%, 2021: 7.1%) and the weighted-average remaining lease term was two years as of December 31, 2023 (2022: three years, 2021: five years). For further details on the Company's right-of-use assets see Note 13. As a lessor Four LR2 tankers were on fixed rate time charters as of December 31, 2023 (2022: two LR2 tankers).

Two of the LR2 tankers on fixed rate time charters as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 have an option for a one year extension. The cost and accumulated depreciation of vessels leased under time charters as of December 31, 2023 were $206.1 million and $36.0 million, respectively (December 31, 2022: $100.1 million and $3.9 million, respectively). |

GOODWILL | 14. GOODWILL (in thousands of $) Goodwill Accumulated impairment losses Net Carrying Value Balance as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 225,273 (112,821) 112,452 Impairment For impairment testing purposes, goodwill was allocated to one group of CGUs, the Company. As of December 31, 2021 The recoverable amount of the Company was determined based on its fair value, less cost of disposal, estimated using its market capitalization plus a control premium as a basis. The Company's market capitalization as of December 31, 2021 was $1,439.0 million (based on a share price of $7.07) compared to its carrying value of net assets of approximately $1,642.0 million. The Company reviewed merger transactions in North America with values of over $25.0 million in the 12 months ended December 31, 2021, global deals between public companies of more than $100.0 million in the last 3 years and global marine transport sector transactions of more than $100.0 million in the last 5 years and observed average control premiums (based on the one month average share price before the bid) of between 29.3% to 32.2%. Using 30.7% as the average of the range as of December 31, 2021,the fair value of the Company was calculated as $1,880.7 million. The excess of the fair value of the Company over its carrying value of net assets was such that the Company concluded that there was no requirement for an impairment in the year ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022 The recoverable amount of the Company was determined based on its fair value, less cost of disposal, estimated using its market capitalization as a basis. The Company's market capitalization as of December 31, 2022 was $2,702.6 million (based on a share price of $12.14) compared to its carrying value of net assets of approximately $2,259.9 million. The excess of the fair value of the Company over its carrying value of net assets was such that the Company concluded that there was no requirement for an impairment in the year ended December 31, 2022. If our ordinary share price declines this could result in an impairment of some or all of the $112.5 million of goodwill. In the absence of a control premium, a share price of $9.65 per share as of December 31, 2022 would have resulted in an impairment of the full carrying value of goodwill. As of December 31, 2023 The recoverable amount of the Company was determined based on its fair value, less cost of disposal, estimated using its market capitalization as a basis. The Company's market capitalization as of December 31, 2023 was $4,463.6 million (based on a share price of $20.05) compared to its carrying value of net assets of approximately $2,277.3 million. The excess of the fair value of the Company over its carrying value of net assets was such that the Company concluded that there was no requirement for an impairment in the year ended December 31, 2023. If our ordinary share price declines this could result in an impairment of some or all of the $112.5 million of goodwill. In the absence of a control premium, a share price of $9.72 per share as of December 31, 2023 would have resulted in an impairment of the full carrying value of goodwill. |

Furthermore, FMS Holdco entered into a sale and purchase agreement to acquire the remaining 50% of the issued share capital of Clean Marine AS. Following the transactions, Frontline owns an effective 43.6% interest in Clean Marine AS through its 43.6% equity interest in FMS Holdco, which is accounted for under the equity method. The carrying value of the investment as of December 31, 2023 was $2.1 million (2022: $1.5 million).

The weighted average CAS of these amendment agreements is 15 basis points based on a three months interest period. The amendments to our loan agreements, which are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, were accounted for as an adjustment to the effective interest rate which did not have a significant effect on the carrying amount of the loans. Debt restrictions The Company's loan agreements contain loan-to-value clauses, which could require the Company to post additional collateral or prepay a portion of the outstanding borrowings should the value of the vessels securing borrowings under each of such agreements decrease below required levels. In addition, the loan agreements contain certain financial covenants, including the requirement to maintain a certain level of free cash, positive working capital and a value adjusted equity covenant. Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances of $75.4 million (2022: $54.4 million), which represents 50% (2022: 50%) of the cash required to be maintained by the financial covenants in our loan agreements. The Company is permitted to satisfy up to 50% of the cash requirements by maintaining a committed undrawn credit facility with a remaining availability of greater than 12 months. Failure to comply with any of the covenants in the loan agreements could result in a default, which would permit the lender to accelerate the maturity of the debt and to foreclose upon any collateral securing the debt. Under those circumstances, the Company might not have sufficient funds or other resources to satisfy its obligations. The Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants contained in the Company's loan agreements as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

In April 2022, the Company announced that its subsidiary Frontline Shipping Limited had agreed with SFL to terminate the long-term charters for these vessels upon the sale and delivery of the vessels by SFL to an unrelated third party. As of January 1, 2021, the Company leased in two vessels from a third party on time charters that were classified as leases which were terminated in the year end December 31, 2021 when the vessels were redelivered to the owners. The right-of-use assets for offices relate to lease agreements for office space. For further details on the Company's leases see Note 18. 18. LEASES As a lessee The Company is committed to make rental payments under leases for office premises. Certain of these leases include variable lease elements linked to inflation indexes. Such variable payments were estimated at the time of recognition on the index at that time and are included in the minimum lease payments. The future minimum lease payments under the Company's leases as at December 31, 2023 were as follows: (in thousands of $) 2024 1,154 2025 1,450 Total minimum lease payments 2,604 Less: Imputed interest (70) Present value of obligations under leases 2,534 The future minimum lease payments under the Company's leases as at December 31, 2022 were as follows: (in thousands of $) 2023 1,103 2024 1,206 2025 1,237 Total minimum lease payments 3,546 Less: Imputed interest (150) Present value of obligations under leases 3,396 Total cash outflows for leases was $0.9 million, $2.9 million and $11.8 million in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Expense for office leases was $0.9 million, $0.9 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company incurred lease expenses of nil (2022: $2.2 million, 2021: $8.6 million) in relation to the vessels leased-in from SFL, an affiliated company, Front Energy and Front Force . Contingent rental income recorded in the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to the fact that the profit share expense accrued in the lease obligation payable when the leases were recorded at fair value at the time of Frontline's merger with Frontline 2012 Ltd. was $0.6 million higher than the actual profit share expense payable to SFL, as no profit share was payable for the period. The Company recorded contingent rental income of $3.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to the fact that the actual profit share expense payable of $0.3 million was $3.6 million less than the amount accrued in the lease obligation payable when the leases were recorded at fair value at the time of the merger between the Company and Frontline 2012 Ltd. The Company incurred lease expenses of nil (2022: nil, 2021: $2.7 million) in relation to two vessels leased in from a third party on time charters that were classified as leases. Interest expense incurred in relation to the leased-in vessels is disclosed in Note 6. The weighted-average discount rate based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate, or IBR, in relation to the leases was 2.5% for the year ended December 31, 2023 (2022: 2.7%, 2021: 7.1%) and the weighted-average remaining lease term was two years as of December 31, 2023 (2022: three years, 2021: five years). For further details on the Company's right-of-use assets see Note 13. As a lessor Four LR2 tankers were on fixed rate time charters as of December 31, 2023 (2022: two LR2 tankers). The minimum future revenues to be received under fixed rate contracts as of December 31, 2023 were as follows: (in thousands of $) 2024 58,194 2025 30,895 Total minimum lease payments 89,089 The minimum future revenues to be received under fixed rate contracts as of December 31, 2022 were as follows: (in thousands of $) 2023 24,090 2024 24,156 2025 15,954 Total minimum lease payments 64,200 Our revenues from these leases have been included within time charter revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss, which solely relates to leasing revenues. Two of the LR2 tankers on fixed rate time charters as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 have an option for a one year extension. The cost and accumulated depreciation of vessels leased under time charters as of December 31, 2023 were $206.1 million and $36.0 million, respectively (December 31, 2022: $100.1 million and $3.9 million, respectively). |

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - FAIR VALUES AND RISK MANAGEMENT | 19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - FAIR VALUES AND RISK MANAGEMENT Accounting classifications and fair values The following tables show the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy.

Financial instruments measured at fair value Type Valuation Techniques Significant observable inputs Interest rate swaps Fair value was determined based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Not applicable. Marketable securities Fair value was determined based on the quoted market prices of the securities. Not applicable. Financial instruments not measured at fair value Type Valuation Techniques Significant observable inputs Floating rate debt Discounted cash flow. Not applicable. Fixed rate debt Discounted cash flow. Discount rate. Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The fair value (level 2) of interest rate swaps is the present value of the estimated future cash flows that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the end of the reporting period, taking into account, as applicable, fixed interest rates on interest rate swaps, current interest rates, forward rate curves and the credit worthiness of both the Company and the derivative counterparty. Marketable securities are listed equity securities for which the fair value is the aggregate market value based on quoted market prices (level 1). Transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 There were no transfers between these levels in 2023 and 2022. Financial risk management In the course of its normal business, the Company is exposed to the following risks: • Credit risk • Liquidity risk • Market risk (interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and price risk) The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. Credit risk Trade and other receivables At the balance sheet date all trade and other receivables were with (i) state-owned enterprises, (ii) oil majors, (iii) commodities traders and (iv) related parties and affiliated companies. Based on past experience, there was only a small impact on doubtful amounts at year-end. Based on individual analyses, provisions for doubtful debtors were not material for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. In addition, no customers individually accounted for 10% or more of total revenue in 2023 and 2022 (see Note 3). The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset. Past due amounts are not credit impaired as collection is still considered to be likely and management is confident the outstanding amounts can be recovered. Amounts not past due are also with customers with high credit worthiness and are therefore not credit impaired. Cash and cash equivalents The Company held cash and cash equivalents of $308.3 million at December 31, 2023 (2022: $254.5 million). The cash and cash equivalents are held with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, or SEB, HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland, DNB Bank ASA and Nordea Bank Norge, or Nordea, Crédit Agricole, Credit Suisse AG, Standard Chartered Bank Singapore, ABN Amro, Bank of Cyprus and Citibank N.A. The Company’s concentration of credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents is not considered significant as substantially all of the amounts are carried with a diversified portfolio of banks and financial institution counterparties. Restricted cash Our interest rate swaps can require us to post cash as collateral based on their fair value which is classified as restricted cash. As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 no cash was posted as collateral in relation to our interest rate swaps and secured borrowings (January 1, 2021: $14.9 million). Derivatives The Company is exposed to the risk of credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to the interest rate swap agreements. Interest rate swap agreements are entered into with banks and financial institution counterparties, which are rated AA-, based on rating agency S&P. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations if they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. The Company has entered into several loan facilities whose maturities are spread over different years (see Note 17). The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities: Contractual cash flows at December 31, 2023 (in thousands of $) Carrying Value Total Less than 1 year Between 1 and 5 years More than 5 years Non derivative financial liabilities Floating rate debt 3,279,626 3,322,347 260,162 1,593,648 1,468,537 Interest on floating rate debt — 802,278 200,291 573,410 28,577 Fixed rate debt 176,837 176,837 1,837 175,000 — Interest on fixed rate debt — 32,131 12,395 19,736 — Obligations under leases 2,534 2,534 1,104 1,430 — Trade and other payables 98,232 98,232 98,232 — — Contractual cash flows at December 31, 2022 (in thousands of $) Carrying Value Total Less than 1 year Between 1 and 5 years More than 5 years Non derivative financial liabilities Floating rate debt 2,178,430 2,201,543 275,670 1,555,143 370,730 Interest on floating rate debt — 435,769 106,487 296,516 32,766 Fixed rate debt 211,884 211,884 2,184 209,700 — Interest on fixed rate debt — 20,960 12,342 8,618 — Obligations under leases 3,396 3,396 1,024 2,372 — Trade and other payables 81,533 81,533 81,533 — — The Company has secured bank loans that contain loan covenants. A future breach of covenant may require the Company to repay the loan earlier than indicated in the above table. For more details on these covenants, see Note 17. The carrying values of fixed and floating rate debt include accrued interest as of the reporting date. The interest on floating rate debt is based on the SOFR spot rate as of December 31, 2023 (and spot rate as of December 31, 2022 for comparatives). The interest on fixed rate debt is based on the contractual interest rate for the periods presented. It is not expected that the cash flows included in the table above (the maturity analysis) could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts than stated above. Market risk Interest rate risk The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through its floating-rate borrowings that require the Company to make interest payments based on SOFR. Significant increases in interest rates could adversely affect operating margins, results of operations and ability to service debt. The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce its exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates. The principal objective of these contracts is to minimize the risks and costs associated with its floating-rate debt. On December 31, 2023 the Company had interest rate swaps in place and approximately 17% (2022: 25%) of the floating interest rates were switched to fixed rate. Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments As of December 31, 2023, the Company's outstanding debt which was at variable interest rates, net of the amount subject to interest rate swap agreements, was $2,741.8 million (2022: $1,634.2 million). Based on this, a one percentage point increase in annual SOFR interest rates would increase its annual interest expense by approximately $27.4 million (2022: $16.3 million), excluding the effects of capitalization of interest. Interest rate swap agreements In February 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with DNB whereby the floating interest on notional debt of $150.0 million was switched to fixed rate. The contract had a forward start date of February 2019. In the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company entered into three interest rate swaps with DNB whereby the floating interest rate on notional debt totaling $250.0 million was switched to a fixed rate. In the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company entered into two interest rate swaps with Nordea Bank whereby the floating interest rate on notional debt totaling $150.0 million was switched to a fixed rate. The reference rate for our interest rate swaps, which are measured at fair value through profit or loss, was transitioned from LIBOR to SOFR in the year ended December 31, 2023 which did not affect the accounting for these derivatives. The aggregate fair value of these swaps at December 31, 2023 was an asset of $39.1 million (2022: $54.0 million) and a liability of nil (2022: nil). The fair value (Level 2) of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, taking into account, as applicable, fixed interest rates on interest rate swaps, current interest rates, forward rate curves and the current credit worthiness of both the Company and the derivative counterparty. The estimated fair value is the present value of future cash flows. In the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a gain on these interest rate swaps of $8.0 million (2022: gain of $53.6 million, 2021: gain of $17.5 million). The interest rate swaps are not designated as hedges and are summarized as of December 31, 2023 as follows: Notional Amount Inception Date Maturity Date Fixed Interest Rate ($000s) 150,000 February 2019 February 2026 2.1970 % 100,000 March 2020 March 2027 0.9750 % 50,000 March 2020 March 2027 0.6000 % 100,000 March 2020 March 2025 0.9000 % 100,000 April 2020 April 2027 0.5970 % 50,000 April 2020 April 2025 0.5000 % 550,000 Foreign currency risk The majority of the Company's transactions, assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars, its functional currency. Certain of its subsidiaries report in British pounds, Norwegian kroner or Singapore dollars and risks of two kinds arise as a result: a transaction risk, that is, the risk that currency fluctuations will have an effect on the value of cash flows; and a translation risk, which is the impact of currency fluctuations in the translation of foreign operations and foreign assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars in the consolidated financial statements. Price risk Our exposure to equity securities price risk arises from marketable securities held by the Company which are listed equity securities and are carried at FVTPL unless the election to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI is made. See Note 9 for further details. Capital management We operate in a capital intensive industry and have historically financed our purchase of tankers and other capital expenditures through a combination of cash generated from operations, equity capital and borrowings from commercial banks. Our ability to generate adequate cash flows on a short and medium term basis depends substantially on the trading performance of our vessels in the market. Our funding and treasury activities are conducted within corporate policies to increase investment returns while maintaining appropriate liquidity for our requirements. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to: • safeguard our ability to continue as a going concern, so that we can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and • maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In February 2024, we declared a dividend of $0.37 per share for the fourth quarter of 2023. In November 2023, we declared a dividend of $0.30 per share for the third quarter of 2023. In August 2023, we declared a dividend of $0.80 per share for the second quarter of 2023. In May 2023, we declared a dividend of $0.70 per share for the first quarter of 2023. In February 2023, we declared a dividend of $0.30 per share for the third quarter and a dividend of $0.77 per share for the fourth quarter of 2022. In August 2022, we declared a dividend of $0.15 per share for the second quarter of 2022. No dividends were declared in 2021. The timing and amount of dividends, if any, is at the discretion of the Board. We cannot guarantee that our Board will declare dividends in the future. The Company's loan agreements contain loan-to-value clauses, which could require the Company to post additional collateral or prepay a portion of the outstanding borrowings should the value of the vessels securing borrowings under each of such agreements decrease below required levels. In addition, the loan agreements contain certain financial covenants, including the requirement to maintain a certain level of free cash, positive working capital and a value adjusted equity covenant. Failure to comply with any of the covenants in the loan agreements could result in a default, which would permit the lenders to accelerate the maturity of the debt and to foreclose upon any collateral securing the debt. |

Disclosure of range of exercise prices of outstanding share options [abstract] | |
SHARE OPTIONS | 21. SHARE OPTIONS The Company's share option scheme, or Frontline Scheme, permits the Board of Directors, at its discretion, to grant options to acquire shares in the Company to employees and directors of the Company or its subsidiaries. The subscription price for all options granted under the scheme is reduced by the amount of all dividends declared by the Company in the period from the date of grant until the date the option is exercised, provided the subscription price is never reduced below the nominal value of the share. The vesting periods of options granted under the Frontline Scheme will be specific to each grant. There is no maximum number of shares authorized for awards of equity share options and authorized, unissued or treasury shares of the Company may be used to satisfy exercised options. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 there were no options outstanding under this scheme. The scheme was closed to new option grants in 2019. In the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued 339,000 ordinary shares for proceeds of $1.9 million under its share option scheme at a strike price of $5.70 per share. The shares were issued to John Fredriksen (198,000 shares), Inger M. Klemp (120,000 shares), and Ola Lorentzon (21,000 shares). In the year ended December 31, 2021, 130,000 options were exercised and settled for a cash payment of $0.3 million. In December 2021, the Board of Directors approved the grant of 1,280,000 synthetic options to employees and board members according to the rules of the Company’s synthetic option scheme approved on December 7, 2021. The synthetic options have a five-year term expiring in December 2026. The vesting period is 12 months for the first 27.5% of options, 24 months for the next 27.5% of options and 36 months for the final 45% of options. The synthetic options will be settled in cash based on the difference between the market price of the Company’s shares and the exercise price on the date of exercise, and as such, have been classified as a liability. As of December 31, 2023, 92,400 synthetic options have been exercised, 86,100 have been forfeited and 1,101,500 remaining outstanding (2022: 1,200,000). The synthetic options have an estimated expected life of 3.4 years. The risk-free interest rate was estimated using the interest rate on three year U.S. treasury zero coupon issues. The volatility was estimated using historical share price data. The dividend yield was estimated at 0% as the exercise price is reduced by all dividends declared by the Company from the date of grant to the exercise date. It was assumed that all of the options granted will vest. The initial exercise price for the synthetic options granted in December 2021 was reduced by the amount of dividends paid after the date of grant. As of December 31, 2023, 704,000 of these options had vested. As of December 31, 2023, 86,100 options had been forfeited and 92,400 options were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $6.52. As of December 31, 2023, 564,650 options remained exercisable. The subsequent remeasurement of fair value of the synthetic options resulted in an expense of $10.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2023 (2022: $4.7 million, 2021: $0.2 million). As of December 31, 2023, the weighted average exercise price of the outstanding options was $4.48 (2022: $7.64), the weighted average exercise price of the exercisable options was $4.13 and the Company's share price was $20.05. The weighted average fair value of the options granted in 2021 was $6.54 per share. The synthetic options had a fair value of $17.5 million as of December 31, 2023 (2022: $8.4 million) and the Company recorded a liability of $15.0 million as of December 31, 2023 (2022: $4.9 million) in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The intrinsic value of liabilities which had vested as of December 31, 2023 was $9.0 million (2022: $1.7 million). |

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICI_2
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2023 | |
Material Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of presentation | 1. Basis of presentation Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on April 26, 2024, and authorized for issue. |
Use of judgements and estimates | 2. Use of judgements and estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Company's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which are the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed periodically. Revisions to estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Information about judgements and area where significant estimates have been made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statement is included in the following notes: • Note 12 - Depreciation: The cost of the vessels less estimated residual value is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the vessels' estimated remaining economic useful lives. The selection of an appropriate useful economic life requires significant estimation. In addition, residual value may vary due to changes in market prices on scrap. See policy 8.3. for further details. Change in useful life of vessels Historically the Company has applied a 25 year useful economic life to its vessels. The Company reviews estimated useful lives and residual values each year. Estimated useful lives may change due to changed end user requirements, costs related to maintenance and upgrades, technological development and competition as well as industry, environmental and legal requirements. Specifically, the Company has noted that many of our customers apply stringent vetting requirements to vessels to ensure that the most rigorous technical standards are adhered to in their value chain. As a result, many customers apply age criteria to the vessels they are willing to charter. In recent years, the Company has noted a two-tier market forming, with vessels under 20 years of age, or lower, favored by top tier charterers, and vessels over 20 years being considered candidates for recycling, or being utilized in markets other than the spot market in which we primarily compete. Furthermore, as a result of the increased focus on environmental factors for both owners and investors it is expected that the competitive age threshold for a vessel may decrease as costs to comply with upcoming regulations may increase moving forward. As of December 31, 2022, the Company revised the estimated useful life of its vessels from 25 years to 20 years as a result of its analysis of the aforementioned factors. This change in estimate was applied prospectively from January 1, 2023 and did not result in any restatement to the prior year consolidated financial statements. • Note 12 - Vessel impairment: The carrying amounts of the Company's vessels may not represent their fair market value at any point in time since the market prices of secondhand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in charter rates and the cost of newbuildings. Historically, both charter rates and vessel values tend to be cyclical. When events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or Cash Generating Unit ("CGU") might not be recovered, the Company performs an impairment test whereby the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is compared to its recoverable amount, which is the greater of its value in use, based on discounted cash flows, and its fair value less cost to sell. In developing estimates of future cash flows in order to assess value in use, the Company must make assumptions about future performance, with significant assumptions being related to charter rates, ship operating expenses, utilization, dry docking and other capital requirements, residual value, the estimated remaining useful lives of the vessels and the probability of lease terminations for right-of-use assets. These assumptions are based on historical trends as well as future expectations. See policy 10.2. for further details. • Note 14 - Goodwill impairment: The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. Our future operating results may be affected by potential impairment charges related to goodwill. Events or circumstances may occur that could negatively impact our ordinary share price, including changes in our anticipated revenues and profits and our ability to execute on our strategies. See policy 10.2. for further details. Measurement of fair values A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows. • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following notes: • Note 9 - Marketable securities • Note 12 - Vessel impairment • Note 14 - Goodwill impairment • Note 19 - Financial instruments; and • Note 21 - Share options |
Principles of consolidation | 3. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts for us and our wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The results of acquired companies are included in our Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss from the date of acquisition. For investments in which we have significant influence over the operating and financial policies, the equity method of accounting is used. Accordingly, our share of the earnings and losses of these companies are included in the share of results of associated companies in the Consolidated Statements |
Foreign currency | 4. Foreign currency Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate applicable at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period are translated to U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate applicable at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are generally recognized in profit or loss. |
Financial Instruments | 5. Financial Instruments Recognition and initial measurement Trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities (including financial assets designated as Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income ("FVOCI")) are initially recognized on the trade date, which is the date that the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are initially measured at their transaction price including any transaction costs, except equity instruments designated as Fair Value through Profit or Loss ("FVTPL") or FVOCI, which are measured at fair value. Financial liabilities are recognized initially at their transaction price less any directly attributable transaction costs. The fair values of equity investments are based on quoted prices. Financial assets and liabilities are not offset and are presented gross in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position unless the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 5.1. Financial assets Classification and subsequent measurement On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified and measured at: amortized cost; FVOCI- equity instrument; or FVTPL. The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model. A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL: • It is held within a business model whose objectives is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and • Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis. All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise. Marketable securities Marketable securities held by the Company are listed equity securities and are classified and measured at FVTPL unless the election to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI is made. No such elections have been made by the Company. Derecognition The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. 5.2. Financial liabilities Classification and subsequent measurement Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is a derivative. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is recognized in profit or loss unless the interest is capitalized as borrowing costs. Non-derivative financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, lease liabilities and trade and other payables. Derecognition The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expired. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss. Debt issuance costs Debt issuance costs, including debt arrangement fees, are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the relevant loan. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense. If a loan is repaid early, any unamortized portion of the related debt issuance costs is expensed in the period in which the loan is repaid. Debt modifications are accounted for prospectively and any applicable new debt issuance costs are deferred and amortized together with the existing unamortized debt issuance costs as of the date of the modification. The Company has recorded debt issuance costs as a deduction from the carrying amount of debt. 5.3. Derivative financial instruments The Company enters into interest rate swap transactions from time to time to hedge a portion of its exposure to floating interest rates. These transactions involve the conversion of floating rates into fixed rates for an agreed period without an exchange of underlying principal. The fair values of the interest rate swap contracts are recognized as assets or liabilities. None of the interest rate swaps qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in fair values of the interest rate swap contracts are recognized net of interest income or expense in profit or loss within Finance expense. Cash outflows and inflows resulting from the interest rate swap contracts are classified as cash flows from operations in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to align with the classification of the underlying finance costs. IFRS 9 applies to contracts to buy or sell a non-derivative non-financial item that can be settled net in cash or another financial instrument, or by exchanging financial instruments, as if the contracts were financial instruments, with the exception of contracts that were entered into and continue to be held for the purpose of the receipt or delivery of a non-financial item in accordance with the entity’s expected purchase, sale or usage requirements. |
Cash and cash equivalents | 6. Cash and cash equivalents |
Restricted cash | Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to their use are classified separately in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, either as Restricted cash or another financial statement line item based on the nature of the balance. Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to their use for at least 12 months following the balance sheet date, and/or are non-current in nature are classified as non-current assets. Changes in restricted cash are classified and presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows based on the nature of the underlying transaction. |
Inventories | 7. Inventories Inventories comprise principally of bunkers and lubricating oils and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Bunkers and lubricating oils expense is recognized in profit or loss upon consumption. |
Vessels and equipment | 8. Vessels and equipment 8.1 Owned assets Vessels and items of equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of assets includes; • The cost of materials and direct labour; • Any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use; and • Capitalized borrowing costs. Gains and losses on disposal of a vessel or of another item of equipment are determined by comparing the net proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the vessel or the item of equipment and are recognized in profit or loss. For the sale of vessels, transfer of risks and rewards usually occurs upon delivery of the vessel to the new owner. 8.2 Newbuildings Newbuildings represent vessels under construction and are carried at the amounts paid or payable according to the installments in the contract and capitalized borrowing costs. Installments are often linked to milestones such as signing of contract, steel cutting, keel laying, launching and delivery. Borrowing costs are capitalized during construction of newbuildings based on accumulated expenditures for the applicable project at the Company's current weighted average rate of borrowing. Refer to accounting policy 10.2. for impairment considerations for owned vessels and newbuildings. 8.3. Depreciation Depreciation is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of vessels and items of equipment. Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The cost of the vessels less estimated residual value is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the vessels' estimated remaining economic useful lives. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. As explained in policy 2.2., as of December 31, 2022, the Company revised the estimated useful life of its vessels from 25 years to 20 years. This change in estimate was applied prospectively from January 1, 2023 and did not result in any restatement to the prior year consolidated financial statements. Other equipment, excluding vessel upgrades, is depreciated over its estimated remaining useful life, which approximates 5 years. The residual value for owned vessels is calculated by multiplying the lightweight tonnage of the vessel by the market price of scrap per ton. The Company capitalizes and depreciates the costs of significant replacements, renewals and upgrades to its vessels over the shorter of the vessel’s remaining useful life or the life of the renewal or upgrade. Costs that are not capitalized are recorded as a component of direct vessel operating expenses during the period incurred. Expenses for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Advances paid in respect of vessel upgrades in relation to exhaust gas cleaning systems ("EGCS") and ballast water treatment systems ("BWTS") are included within "other non-current assets", until such time as the equipment is installed on a vessel, at which point it is transferred to "Vessels and equipment". 8.4. Dry docking – component approach Our vessels are required by their respective classification societies to go through a dry dock at regular intervals. In general, vessels below the age of 15 years are docked every 5 years and vessels older than 15 years are docked every 2.5 years. Significant components of property, plant and equipment with differing depreciation methods or lives are depreciated separately. Major inspection or overhaul costs, such as dry docking, are identified and accounted for as a separate component and depreciated over the period to the next scheduled dry docking (2.5 - 5 years). A portion of the initial cost of a vessel is allocated to the dry docking component upon delivery based on the age of the vessel and an estimate of the expected dry dock cost and depreciated over the period to the next scheduled dry docking. When a dry docking is performed, the carrying amount of any remaining unamortized dry docking costs related to previous dry docks (due to any difference between the estimated and actual time between dry docks) is derecognized. Costs associated with routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred including routine maintenance performed while the vessel is in dry dock. |
Goodwill | 9. Goodwill We allocate the cost of acquired companies to identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, with the remaining amount being classified as goodwill. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in profit or loss. After initial recognition goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, refer to accounting policy 10.2. |
Impairment | 10. Impairment 10.1 Loans, receivables and contract assets The gross carrying amount of loans, receivables and contract assets is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering the outstanding amount in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Company assesses allowances for its estimate of expected credit losses based on historical experience, other currently available evidence, and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future, including the use of credit default ratings from third party providers of credit rating data. The Company assesses credit risk in relation to its receivables using a portfolio approach. The Company's main portfolio segments include (i) state-owned enterprises, (ii) oil majors, (iii) commodities traders and (iv) related parties and affiliated companies. In addition, the Company performs individual assessments for customers that do not share risk characteristics with other customers (for example a customer under bankruptcy or a customer with known disputes or collectability issues). The Company makes significant judgements and assumptions to estimate its expected losses. 10.2. Non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventory and contract assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash generating units ("CGUs"). Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its fair value less cost of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. Future cash flows are based on current market conditions, historical trends as well as future expectations. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill shall not be reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized. Owned vessels, newbuildings and vessel right-of-use assets When events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or CGU might not be recovered, the Company performs an impairment test whereby the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is compared to its recoverable amount, which is the greater of its value in use, based on discounted cash flows, and its fair value less cost to sell. We define our CGU as a single vessel as each vessel generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other vessels. In assessing whether there is any indication that a vessel may be impaired, the Company considers internal and external indicators, including but not limited to: • the estimated market values for our vessels received from independent ship brokers have declined during the period significantly more than we would expect as a result of the passage of time or normal use. The ship brokers assess each vessel based on, among others, age, yard, deadweight capacity and compare this to market transactions. • significant changes with an adverse effect on the Company have taken place during the period, or will take place in the near future, in the legal and regulatory environment in which the Company operates, and the tanker market, including negative developments in actual and forecasted time charter equivalent rates ("TCE rates"). • market interest rates have increased during the period, and the increase is likely to affect the discount rate used in calculating a vessel’s value in use and decrease the asset’s recoverable amount materially. • the carrying amount of the net assets of the Company is more than its market capitalization. • evidence is available of obsolescence or physical damage of a vessel. • significant changes with an adverse effect on the Company have taken place during the period, or are expected to take place in the near future, in the extent to which, or manner in which, a vessel is used or is expected to be used. • evidence that the economic performance of a vessel is, or will be, worse than expected, including: ◦ actual or forecasted TCE rates are significantly worse than expected; ◦ cash flows for acquiring a vessel, or subsequent cash needs for operating or maintaining it, are significantly higher than expected; ◦ actual net cash flows or operating profit are significantly worse than expected; ◦ a significant decline in budgeted net cash flows or operating profit; or ◦ operating losses or net cash outflows. If such impairment indicators are identified, the vessel’s recoverable amount is estimated. In developing estimates of future cash flows in order to assess value in use, the Company must make assumptions about future performance, with significant assumptions being related to charter rates, ship operating expenses, utilization, dry docking and other capital requirements, residual value, the estimated remaining useful lives of the vessels and the probability of lease terminations for vessels held under lease. These assumptions are based on historical trends as well as future expectations. Specifically, in estimating future charter rates, management takes into consideration rates currently in effect for existing time charters and estimated daily time charter equivalent rates for each vessel class for the unfixed days over the estimated remaining lives of each of the vessels. The estimated daily time charter equivalent rates used for unfixed days are based on a combination of (i) internally developed forecasts, and (ii) historical rates, based on quarterly average rates published by an independent third party maritime research service, for a historical period determined based on management's judgment of past and ongoing shipping cycles. Recognizing that the transportation of crude oil is cyclical and subject to significant volatility based on factors beyond the Company's control, management believes the use of estimates based on the combination of internally forecast rates and historical average rates calculated as of the reporting date to be reasonable. Estimated outflows for operating expenses and dry docking requirements are based on historical and budgeted costs and are adjusted for assumed inflation. Finally, utilization is based on historical levels achieved and estimates of a residual value are consistent with the pattern of scrap rates used in management's evaluation of salvage value. Other capital requirements for newbuildings are primarily based on amounts payable according to the installments in the contract. The weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") used to calculate the value in use of our assets is calculated to reflect the industry-weighted average return on debt and equity using observable market data and approximates a pre-tax discount rate. The more significant factors that could impact management's assumptions regarding time charter equivalent rates include (i) loss or reduction in business from significant customers, (ii) unanticipated changes in demand for transportation of crude oil and oil products, (iii) changes in production of or demand for oil, generally or in particular regions, (iv) greater than anticipated levels of tanker newbuilding orders or lower than anticipated levels of tanker scrapping, and (v) changes in rules and regulations applicable to the tanker industry, including legislation adopted by international organizations such as IMO and the EU or by individual countries. Although management believes that the assumptions used to evaluate potential impairment are reasonable and appropriate at the time they were made, such assumptions are highly subjective and likely to change, possibly materially, in the future. Tanker charter rates are volatile and can experience long periods at depressed levels. Future assessments of vessel impairment would be adversely affected by reductions in vessel values and charter rates. Goodwill Goodwill is not amortized, but rather reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The Company has one group of CGUs for the purpose of assessing potential goodwill impairment and has selected September 30 as its annual goodwill impairment testing date. A CGU is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing whether the recoverable amount of a CGU to which goodwill has been allocated is less than its carrying amount, the Company assesses relevant events and circumstances, including (i) macroeconomic conditions; (ii) industry and market conditions; (iii) changes in cost factors that may impact earnings and cash flows; (iv) overall financial performance; (v) other entity specific events such as changes in management, strategy, customers or key personnel; (vi) other events and (vii) if applicable, changes in the Company's share price, both in absolute terms and relative to peers. The recoverable amount of the Company's one group of CGUs is the higher of its fair value less cost of disposal and value in use. We estimate the fair value less cost of disposal of this group of CGUs based on the Company's market capitalization plus a control premium, as needed, excluding the fair value of financial instruments and other items that are not being tested for impairment. Control premium assumptions require judgment and actual results may differ from assumed or estimated amounts. The fair value measurement uses Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 inputs from the fair value hierarchy. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the Company. Future cash flows are based on current market conditions, historical trends as well as future expectations. |
Revenue and expense recognition and other operating income | 11. Revenue and expense recognition 11.1. Voyage charters In a voyage charter contract, the charterer hires the vessel to transport a specific agreed-upon cargo for a single voyage. The consideration in such a contract is determined on the basis of a freight rate per metric ton of cargo carried or occasionally on a lump sum basis. The charterer is responsible for any short loading of cargo or "dead" freight. The voyage charter party generally has standard payment terms with freight paid on completion of discharge. The voyage charter party generally has a "demurrage" clause. As per this clause, the charterer reimburses us for any potential delays exceeding the allowed laytime as per the charter party clause at the ports visited, which is recorded as voyage revenue. As such, demurrage is considered variable consideration under the contract. Estimates and judgments are required in ascertaining the most likely outcome of a particular voyage and actual outcomes may differ from estimates. Such estimates are reviewed and updated over the term of the voyage charter contract. The non-lease component of voyage charters (and other contracts) are accounted for under the provisions of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The Company has determined that its voyage charter contracts that qualify for accounting under IFRS 15 consist of a single performance obligation of transporting the cargo within a specified time period. Therefore, the performance obligation is met evenly as the voyage progresses, and the voyage revenue and expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the voyage days from the commencement of loading to completion of discharge. Contract assets with regards to voyage revenues are reported as "Voyages in progress" as the performance obligation is satisfied over time. Voyage revenues typically become billable and due for payment on completion of the voyage and discharge of the cargo, at which point the receivable is recognized within "Trade and other receivables". Voyage charters contain a lease component if the contract (i) specifies a specific vessel asset; and (ii) has terms that allow the charterer to exercise substantive decision-making rights, which have an economic value to the charterer and therefore allow the charterer to direct how and for what purpose the vessel is used. The lease component of voyage charter contracts are accounted for under IFRS 16 Leases which results in revenue recognition consistent with the non-lease component accounted for under IFRS 15. In a voyage contract, the Company bears all voyage related costs such as fuel costs, port charges and canal tolls. To recognize costs incurred to fulfill a contract as an asset, the following criteria shall be met: (i) the costs relate directly to the contract, (ii) the costs generate or enhance resources of the entity that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future and (iii) the costs are expected to be recovered. The costs incurred during the period prior to commencement of loading the cargo, primarily bunkers, are deferred as they represent setup costs and recorded as a current asset and are subsequently amortized on a straight-line basis as we satisfy the performance obligations under the contract. Costs incurred to obtain a contract, such as commissions, are also deferred and expensed over the same period. Costs incurred during the performance of a voyage are expensed as incurred. The Company has taken the practical expedient not to disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of the end of the reporting period as the performance obligations are part of contracts having an original expected duration of one year or less. 11.2. Time charters In a time charter voyage, the vessel is hired by the charterer for a specified period of time in exchange for consideration which is based on a daily hire rate. Generally, the charterer has the discretion over the ports visited, shipping routes and vessel speed. The contract/charter party generally provides typical warranties regarding the speed and performance of the vessel. The charter party generally has some owner protective restrictions such that the vessel is sent only to safe ports by the charterer and carries only lawful or non-hazardous cargo. In a time charter contract, we are responsible for all the costs incurred for running the vessel such as crew costs, vessel insurance, repairs and maintenance and lubes. The charterer bears the voyage related costs such as bunker expenses, port charges, and canal tolls during the hire period. The performance obligations in a time charter contract are satisfied over the term of the contract beginning when the vessel is delivered to the charterer until it is redelivered back to us. The charterer generally pays the charter hire in advance of the upcoming contract period. The lease component of time charter contracts are accounted for under IFRS 16 Leases and revenues are recorded over the term of the charter as a service is provided. The non-lease component of time charter contracts are accounted for under IFRS 15 which results in revenue recognition consistent with the lease component accounted for under IFRS 16. When a time charter contract is linked to an index, we recognize revenue for the applicable period based on the actual index for that period. 11.3. Administrative income Administrative income primarily comprises income earned from the commercial and technical management of vessels and newbuilding supervision fees derived from related parties, affiliated companies and third parties. Administrative income is recognized over time as the services are provided and performance obligations are met. 12. Other operating income Other operating income relates to (i) gains on the sale of vessels, which are recognized when the vessel has been delivered and substantially all risks have been transferred and are determined by comparing the proceeds received with the carrying value of the vessel, (ii) gains on settlements of insurance and legal claims, which are recognized when an inflow of economic benefit is virtually certain, (iii) gains and losses on the termination of leases before the expiration of the lease term, which are accounted for by derecognizing the carrying value of the right-of-use asset and lease obligation, with a gain or loss recognized for the difference. Gains and losses on the termination of leases are accounted for when the lease is terminated and the vessel is redelivered to the owners, and (iv) gains and losses from pooling and other revenue sharing arrangements where the Company is considered the principal under the charter parties and records voyage revenues and costs gross, with the adjustments required as a result of the revenue sharing arrangement being recognized as other operating gains or losses. |
Leases | 13. Leases At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. 13.1. As a lessee The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at the amount equal to the lease liability adjusted by initial direct costs incurred by the lessee. Adjustments may also be required for any payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. After lease commencement, the Company measures the right-of-use asset at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method. In addition, the right-of-use asset is reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lessee's incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: • Fixed payments; • Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate; • Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, and; • The exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early. The Company has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include renewal options. The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether the purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-to-use asset has been reduced to zero. Lease and non-lease components in the contracts are separated and the non-lease components are expensed as incurred and classified based on the nature of the expense. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets The Company has elected not to recognize certain right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases (i.e., leases with an original term of 12-months or less), including IT equipment. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Refer to accounting policy 10.2. for impairment considerations for vessel right-of-use assets. 13.2. As a lessor When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance or operating lease. To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset. If the lease qualifies as an operating lease, e.g. time charter contracts and the lease component of voyage charter contracts, the leased asset remains on the statement of financial position of the lessor and continues being depreciated. The Company separates the lease and non-lease component in the contract, with the lease component qualified as operating lease and the non-lease component accounted for under IFRS 15. The Company makes significant judgments and assumptions to separate lease components from non-lease components of our contracts. For purposes of determining the standalone selling price of the vessel lease and non-lease components of the Company’s time charters and voyage charters, the Company uses the residual approach given that vessel rates are highly variable depending on shipping market conditions. The Company believes that the standalone transaction price attributable to the non-lease component is more readily determinable than the price of the lease component and, accordingly, the price of the service components is estimated using cost plus a margin and the residual transaction price is attributed to the lease component. Refer to the Revenue policy for further details of the accounting for the lease and the non-lease component. |
Share-based compensation | 14. Share-based compensation The fair value of the amount payable to beneficiaries in respect of synthetic options, which are settled in cash, is recognized as an expense with a corresponding liability, over the period during which the beneficiaries become unconditionally entitled to payment. The fair value of the liability is remeasured at each reporting period. |
Dividends received | 15. Dividends received The Company records dividends received in the period in which they are declared and receivable. |
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted | 16. New standards and interpretations During the current financial period, the Company has adopted all relevant new and revised Standards and Interpretations that were issued by the IASB and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB. The following new Standards, Interpretations and Amendments issued by the IASB and the IFRIC are effective for the current financial year end: • IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors - Amendments regarding the definition of accounting estimates. • IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements – Amendments regarding the disclosure of accounting policies and IFRS Practice Statement 2. The adoption of these new standards, interpretations and amendments had no material effect on the financial statements. New and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements are disclosed below. The below list includes the new standards and amendments that we believe are the most relevant for the Company: Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify: • What is meant by a right to defer settlement • That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period • That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right • That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024 and must be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments, however, the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has not applied or early adopted any new IFRS requirements that are not yet effective as per December 31, 2023. |
