Singapore, May 26, 2026 – In a pivotal moment for shareholders and stakeholders alike, Hafnia Limited (OSE ticker code: “HAFNI”, NYSE ticker code: “HAFN”) convened its 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM) at its registered office located at Mapletree Business City, Singapore. The meeting took place promptly at 9:00 a.m. local time. The forum served not only as a platform to discuss financial performance, but also as a stage for the re-election of key directors and the introduction of significant business initiatives.
This year’s AGM is particularly noteworthy, as it reflects the company’s commitment to transparency and good governance amidst a rapidly evolving maritime industry. Hafnia, renowned for its role as one of the world’s leading tanker owners, specializes in the transportation of oil, oil products, and chemicals. With a fleet consisting of approximately 200 vessels, the company plays a crucial role in facilitating global trade for major national and international oil and chemical corporations.
The resolutions put forth at the AGM garnered unanimous support from those in attendance. Key among these decisions was the adoption of the Directors’ Statement, Audited Financial Statements, and the Auditor’s Report, signifying that Hafnia is maintaining robust financial health and accountability to its stakeholders.
A pivotal aspect of the AGM was the re-election of several high-profile board members, confirming the board’s continuity and strategic direction. The reelected directors include Mr. Andreas Sohmen-Pao, Mr. Donald John Ridgway, Mr. Peter Graham Read, Ms. Anand Su Yin, and Ms. Tan Chin Hwee, Emily. Their reaffirmation underscores Hafnia’s strategy to leverage experienced leadership to navigate the complexities of the shipping industry.
Further enhancements to corporate governance were reflected in the re-appointment of Mr. Andreas Sohmen-Pao as Chairman of the Board of Directors. His leadership has been instrumental in building Hafnia’s reputation as a reliable partner in maritime logistics, and his continued oversight is expected to support the company’s growth trajectory.
Additionally, the AGM saw a consensus on key financial matters. The board approved fees payable to Directors and Committee Members, in alignment with industry standards and the company’s performance metrics. Moreover, shareholders endorsed the re-appointment of KPMG LLP as the company’s auditor, granting authority to the board to fix their remuneration. This decision is indicative of Hafnia’s dedication to maintaining high standards of financial oversight and auditing.
In line with its growth strategy, Hafnia also introduced both a Share Buy-Back Mandate and a Share Issue Mandate, aimed at returning value to shareholders while positioning the company for future investment opportunities. The decision to implement these financial instruments illustrates Hafnia’s proactive approach in capital management, demonstrating its confidence in future business performance and market conditions.
Positioned at the heart of maritime trade, Hafnia operates with a vision that transcends mere logistics; it seeks to create an integrated shipping platform that encompasses technical management, commercial chartering services, pool management, and a sophisticated bunker procurement desk. With operational offices in key maritime hubs, including Singapore, Copenhagen, Houston, and Dubai, the company currently employs over 4,000 professionals on land and at sea.
Hafnia is a proud member of the BW Group, an established shipping conglomerate with over 80 years of expertise in oil and gas transportation, floating gas infrastructure, and environmental technologies.
