Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]


21.			COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has agreed to provide a guarantee under a bunker supply arrangement with TFG Marine, a related party. Should TFG Marine be required to provide a parent company guarantee to its bunker suppliers or finance providers then for any guarantee that is provided by the Trafigura Group and becomes payable, Frontline shall pay a pro rata amount based on its share of the equity in TFG Marine. The maximum liability under this guarantee is $6.0 million and there are no amounts payable under this guarantee as at December 31, 2025.

In the year ended December 31, 2024, certain funds managed by FourWorld Capital Management LLC (“FourWorld”) began proceedings before the Antwerp Enterprise Court (Belgium), in connection with their claims pertaining to the integrated solution for the strategic and structural deadlock within former Euronav NV announced on October 9, 2023, and former Euronav NV’s acquisition of CMB.TECH NV on December 22, 2023. FourWorld claims that the transactions should be rescinded and in addition has requested the court to order CMB and Frontline to pay damages in an amount to be determined during the course of the proceedings, which are ongoing. The Company finds the claims to be without merit and continues to vigorously defend against them.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has committed to the purchase of scrubber equipment from Clean Marine AS, a related party, for ten vessels. As of December 31, 2025 $4.2 million is paid, with a remaining financial commitment of $3.3 million due in 2026.

The Company insures the legal liability risks for its shipping activities with mutual protection and indemnity associations, who are members of the International Group of P&I Clubs. As a member of these mutual associations, the Company is subject to calls payable to the associations based on the Company's claims record in addition to the claims records of all other members of the associations. A contingent liability exists to the extent that the claims records of the members of the associations in the aggregate show significant deterioration, which result in additional calls on the members.

The Company is a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to several lawsuits in various jurisdictions for unpaid charter hire, demurrage, damages, off-hire and other claims and commercial disputes arising from the operation of its vessels, in the ordinary course of business or in connection with its acquisition activities. The Company believes that the resolution of such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial condition individually and in the aggregate.
