Exhibit 99.1

INFORMATION ABOUT EURONAV

Euronav NV (“Euronav”) was incorporated under the laws of Belgium on June 26, 2003 for an indefinite term, and grew out of the combination of certain tanker businesses carried out by three companies that had a strong presence in the shipping industry: Compagnie Maritime Belge NV, or CMB, formed in 1895, Compagnie Nationale de Navigation SA, or CNN, formed in 1938, and Ceres Hellenic Shipping Enterprises Ltd., or Ceres Hellenic, formed in 1950. Euronav’s predecessor started doing business under the name “Euronav” in 1989. Euronav’s Company has the legal form of a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap/société anonyme).

Euronav’s principal shareholder is Marc Saverys, individually or through Saverco NV, or Saverco, an entity controlled by him. The Saverys family has had a continuous presence in the shipping industry since the early nineteenth century. The Saverys family owned a shipyard that was founded in 1829, owned and operated various shipowning companies since the 1960s, and acquired CMB in 1991.

Euronav’s ordinary shares have traded on Euronext Brussels since December 2004. In January 2015, Euronav completed its underwritten initial public offering in the United States of 18,699,000 ordinary shares at $12.25 per share, and Euronav’s ordinary shares commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE. In March 2015, Euronav completed its offer to exchange unregistered ordinary shares that were previously issued in Belgium (other than ordinary shares owned by Euronav’s affiliates) for ordinary shares that were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the U.S. Exchange Offer, in which an aggregate of 42,919,647 ordinary shares were validly tendered and exchanged. Euronav’s ordinary shares currently trade on the NYSE and Euronext under the symbol “EURN.”

Euronav is a fully-integrated provider of international maritime shipping and offshore services engaged primarily in the transportation and storage of crude oil. As of January 19, 2018, Euronav owns or operates a modern fleet of 53 vessels (including four chartered-in vessels and four newbuildings expected to be delivered in 2018) with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 13.4 million deadweight tons, or dwt, consisting of 28 very large crude carriers, or VLCCs, one V-plus, 22 Suezmax vessels (including four under construction), and two floating, storage and offloading vessels, or FSOs (both owned and through 50/50 joint ventures). The average age of our fleet as of January 19, 2018 was approximately 8.8 years, as compared to an industry average age as of January 19, 2018 of approximately 9.4 years for the VLCC fleet and 9.6 years for the Suezmax fleet.

Employment of Euronav’s Fleet

Euronav’s tanker fleet is employed worldwide through a combination of primarily spot-market voyage fixtures, including through the TI Pool, fixed-rate contracts and time charters. Euronav deploys its two FSOs as floating storage units under fixed-rate service contracts in the offshore services sector. For the year 2018, Euronav’s fleet is currently expected to have approximately 17,874 available days for hire, of which, as of January 19, 2018, 83.08% are expected to be available to be employed on the spot market, either directly or through the TI Pool (defined below), 11.36% are expected to be available to be employed on fixed-time charters with a profit sharing element and 5.56% are expected to be available to be employed on fixed-time charters without a profit sharing element.

Spot Market

A spot-market voyage charter is a contract to carry a specific cargo from a load port to a discharge port for an agreed freight per ton of cargo or a specified total amount. Under spot market voyage charters, Euronav pays voyage expenses such as port, canal and bunker costs. Spot-charter rates have historically been volatile and fluctuate due to seasonal changes, as well as general supply and demand dynamics in the crude oil marine transportation sector. Although the revenue Euronav generates in the spot market is less predictable, Euronav believes its exposure to this market provides it with the opportunity to capture better profit margins during periods when vessel demand exceeds supply leading to improvements in tanker charter rates. As of January 19, 2018, Euronav employed 14 of its vessels directly in the spot market.

Suezmax Chartering

In June 2016, Euronav, together with Diamond S. Management LLC and Frontline Ltd., companies not affiliated with Euronav, formed Suezmax Chartering, a chartering joint venture that creates a single point of contact for cargo owners to access a large fleet of 46 modern Suezmax vessels, including newbuildings, operated on the spot market.

Tankers International Pool

Euronav principally employs and commercially manages its VLCCs through the Tankers International Pool, or the TI Pool, a leading spot market-oriented VLCC pool in which other shipowners with vessels of similar size and quality participate along with us. We participated in the formation of the TI Pool in 2000 to allow it and other TI Pool participants, consisting of unaffiliated third-party owners and operators of similarly sized vessels, to gain economies of scale, obtain increased cargo, flow of information, logistical efficiency and greater vessel utilization. As of January 19, 2018, the TI Pool was comprised of 37 vessels, including 24 of Euronav’s VLCCs.

3 

By pooling its VLCCs with those of other shipowners, Euronav is able to derive synergies, including (i) the potential for increased vessel utilization by securing backhaul voyages for its vessels, and (ii) the performance of the Contracts of Affreightment, or COAs. Backhaul voyages involve the transportation of cargo on part of the return leg of a voyage. COAs, which can involve backhauls, may generate higher effective time charter equivalent, or TCE, revenues than otherwise might be obtainable directly in the spot market. Additionally, by operating a large number of vessels as an integrated transportation system, the TI Pool offers customers greater flexibility and an additional level of service while achieving scheduling efficiencies. The TI Pool is an owner-focused pool that does not charge commissions to its members, a practice that differs from that of other commercial pools; rather, the TI Pool aggregates gross charter revenues it receives and deducts voyage expenses and administrative costs before distributing net revenues to the pool members in accordance with their allocated pool points, which are based on each vessel's speed, fuel consumption and cargo-carrying capacity. We believe this results in lower TI Pool membership costs, compared to other similarly sized pools. In 2017, TI Pool membership costs were approximately $750 per vessel per day (with each vessel receiving its proportional share of pool membership expenses, excluding pool credit line costs).

Tankers (UK) Agencies Ltd., or Tankers International, of which Euronav owns 50% of the outstanding voting shares, is the manager of the pool and is also responsible for the commercial management of the pool participants, including negotiating and entering into vessel employment agreements on behalf of the pool participants. Technical management of the pooled vessels is performed by each shipowner, who bears the operating costs for its vessels.

Tankers International and Frontline Management (Bermuda) Ltd., or Frontline, a company not affiliated with Euronav, together formed VLCC Chartering Ltd., a chartering joint venture that has access to the combined fleets of Frontline and the TI Pool, including Euronav’s vessels that are operating in the TI Pool. VLCC Chartering Ltd. commenced operations on October 6, 2014.  Tankers International and Frontline each own 50% of VLCC Chartering Ltd. Euronav believes that VLCC Chartering Ltd. increases its fleet earnings potential while creating greater options for cargo end-users.

Time Charters

Time charters provide us with a fixed and stable cash flow for a known period of time. Time charters may help Euronav mitigate, in part, its exposure to the spot market, which tends to be volatile in nature, being seasonal and generally weaker in the second and third quarters of the year due to refinery shutdowns and related maintenance during the warmer summer months. In the future, Euronav may when the cycle matures or otherwise opportunistically employ more of its vessels under time charter contracts as the available rates for time charters improve. Euronav may also enter into time-charter contracts with profit-sharing arrangements, which it believes will enable Euronav to benefit if the spot market increases above a base charter rate as calculated either by sharing sub charter profits of the charterer or by reference to a market index and in accordance with a formula provided in the applicable charter contract. As of January 19, 2018, Euronav employed nine of its vessels on fixed-rate time charters with an average remaining duration of six months, including six with profit-sharing components based on a percentage of the excess between the prevailing applicable market rate and the base charter rate.

FSOs and Offshore Service Contracts

Euronav currently deploys its two FSOs in the offshore services sector as floating storage units under service contracts with North Oil Company, the operator of the Al-Shaheen oil field, whose shareholders are Qatar Petroleum Oil & Gas Limited and Total E&P Golfe Limited. As our tanker vessels age, we may seek to extend their useful lives by employing such vessels on long-term offshore projects at rates higher than may otherwise be achieved in the time-charter market, or sell such vessels to third-party owners in the offshore conversion market at a premium. 

Technical and Commercial Management of our Vessels

Most of Euronav’s vessels are technically managed in-house through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Euronav Ship Management SAS, Euronav SAS and Euronav Ship Management (Hellas) Ltd. Its in-house technical management services include providing technical expertise necessary for all vessel operations, supervising the maintenance, upkeep and general efficiency of vessels, arranging and supervising newbuilding construction, drydocking, repairs and alterations, and developing, implementing, certifying and maintaining a safety management system.

4 

In addition to Euronav’s in-house fully integrated technical management, Euronav utilizes from time to time the services of experienced third party managers. The independent technical managers typically have specific teams dedicated to Euronav’s vessels and are supervised by our in house oversight team. Euronav currently contract Wallem Ship Management for one of Euronav’s owned VLCCs and Anglo Eastern Ship Management (through one of their subsidiaries - Univan Ship Management International Limited) for two of Euronav’s owned VLCCs and two VLCCs that we have on bareboat charter. The services provided by Euronav’s third party technical management are very similar to Euronav’s own technical management and involves part or all of the day-to-day management of vessels.

Euronav’s VLCCs are commercially managed by Tankers International while operating in the TI Pool. All of the participants in the TI Pool collectively pay a pool management fee equivalent to the costs of running the pool business, excluding voyage expenses, interest adjustments and administration costs, including legal, banking and other professional fees. The net charge is the pool administration cost, which is apportioned to each vessel by calendar days. During the year ended December 31, 2017, Euronav paid an aggregate of $7.4 million for the commercial management of Euronav’s vessels operating in the TI Pool.

Euronav’s Suezmax vessels trading in the spot market are commercially managed by Euronav (UK) Agencies Ltd., our London commercial department. Commercial management services include securing employment for Euronav’s vessels.

Euronav’s time chartered vessels, both VLCCs and Suezmax vessels, are managed by Euronav’s operations department based in Antwerp.

On December 21, 2017, Euronav announced that the Company has reached an agreement on a stock-for-stock merger for the entire issued and outstanding share capital of Gener8 Maritime, Inc. (“Gener8”) pursuant to which Gener8 would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Euronav. The “Exchange Ratio“ of 0.7272 Euronav shares for each share of Gener8 is expected to result in the issuance of approximately 60.9 million new Euronav shares to Gener8 shareholders. The Exchange Ratio implies a premium of 35% paid on Gener8 shares based on the closing share prices on 20 December 2017. The merger will result in Euronav shareholders owning approximately 72% of the issued share capital of the combined entity and Gener8 shareholders owning approximately 28% (based on the fully diluted share capital of Euronav and the fully diluted share capital of Gener8). The merger is subject to the approval of Gener8’s shareholders, the consent of certain of Gener8’s lenders to assign certain debt facilities to the combined entity, the effectiveness of a registration statement to be filed by Euronav with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register the Euronav shares to be issued in the merger (the “New Registration Statement”), the listing of such shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and other customary closing conditions. Certain of these closing conditions are substantive, and these conditions have not yet been met. The Gener8 shares will be contributed to Euronav in application of the Belgian Companies Code procedure of a capital increase through contribution in kind. The increase of the Euronav share capital will occur under the existing authorized capital of USD 150.0 million.
