Adnoc Logistics & Services is actively pursuing acquisitions of older VLCCs, suezmaxes, and LR tankers amid heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, following a prior $1.3bn purchase of VLCCs and gas carriers. This marks a strategic response to regional security risks impacting shipping and supply chains.
