EXPLANATORY NOTE AND PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
We prepare and report our financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). We maintain our books and records in U.S. dollars.
Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “Hafnia” refer to Hafnia Limited and, as the context requires, Hafnia and its consolidated subsidiaries, and “Group”
refers to Hafnia and its consolidated subsidiaries. “Board of Directors” refers to the board of directors of Hafnia Limited as at the date of this Annual Report or, as the context requires,
the board of directors of Hafnia Limited from time to time.
We use the term deadweight ton, or dwt, in describing the size of our vessels in our Combined Fleet. Dwt, expressed in metric tons, each of which is equivalent to 1,000 kilograms,
refers to the maximum weight of cargo and supplies that a vessel can carry.
We have made rounding adjustments to some of the figures included in this Annual Report. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in some tables may not be an arithmetic
aggregation of the figures that precede them.
Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “U.S. dollars”, “U.S. $” and “$” in this Annual Report are to the lawful currency of the United States of America (“U.S.” or the “United
States”), references to “Singapore dollars” or “SGD” are to the lawful currency of the Republic of Singapore (“Singapore”), references to “Danske Kroner” or “DKK” are to the lawful
currency of Denmark, references to “Euro” or “EUR” are to the lawful common currency of the EU member states who have adopted the Euro as their sole national currency and
references to “Norwegian Kroner” and “NOK” are to the lawful currency of Norway.
As used herein, the terms “Hafnia Vessels” refers to our wholly-owned or sale and lease-back financed vessels, “TC Vessels” refers to our time chartered-in vessels, “JV Vessels”
refers to vessels (including newbuilds) owned by joint venture companies in which we have a 50% voting interest and “Pool Vessels” refers to the vessels owned by third parties
operating in our Pools. “Pools” refers to the Long Range II (“LR2”) Pool, Long Range I (“LR1”) Pool, Medium Range (“MR”) Pool, Handy Pool, Chemical-MR Pool, Chemical-Handy
Pool, Panamax Pool and Small, Intermediate and City Pools (the Small, Intermediate and City Pools together, the “Specialised Pool”) as further described and defined in “Item 4.
Information on the Company”.
Additionally, the term “Hafnia Fleet” refers to our Hafnia Vessels, TC Vessels and JV Vessels, collectively, and the term “Combined Fleet” refers to the combined fleet of the Hafnia
Fleet, the Pool Vessels, and any other vessels that we commercially manage separately from the Pools.
Our Combined Fleet comprises product tankers. Certain of these product tankers could also be referred to as chemical tankers as they have been designed to comply with certain
requirements to allow them to transport chemical products. Their ability to transport chemical products are in addition to their ability to transport the type of products normally carried by
product tankers and we therefore consider our ‘chemical’ tankers a variant of our product tankers and not a separate type of vessel.
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Throughout this Annual Report, we provide a number of key performance indicators used by our management and often used by competitors in our industry.
“Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-IFRS financial measure and as used herein represents earnings before financial income and expenses, depreciation, impairment, amortisation and taxes.
Adjusted EBITDA additionally includes adjustments for gain/(loss) on disposal of vessels and/or subsidiaries, share of profit and loss from equity accounted investments, interest
income and interest expense, capitalised financing fees written off and other finance expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and
external users of financial statements, such as lenders, to assess our operating performance as well as compliance with the financial covenants and restrictions contained in our financing
agreements. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA assists management and investors by increasing comparability of our performance from period to period. This increased comparability is
achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects of interest, depreciation, impairment, amortisation and taxes. These are items that could be affected by various changing financing
methods and capital structure which may significantly affect profit/(loss) between periods. Including Adjusted EBITDA as a measure benefits investors in selecting between investment
alternatives. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of our financial performance
calculated in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect profit/(loss) and these measures may vary among other companies. Adjusted EBITDA
as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Time Charter Equivalent (or “TCE” or “TCE income”) is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping
company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., voyage charters and time charters) under which vessels may be employed between the periods. We define TCE
income as income from time charters and voyage charters (including certain income from our Pools as described further in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”) for
our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels less voyage expenses (including fuel oil, port costs, brokers’ commissions, and other voyage expenses).
We present TCE income per operating day, a non-IFRS measure, as we believe it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with revenues, the most directly
comparable IFRS measure, because it assists management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels and in evaluating their financial
performance. Our calculation of TCE income may not be comparable to that reported by other shipping companies.
These and other key performance indicators are discussed in more detail in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – A. Operating Results.”
MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA
Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this Annual Report concerning our industry and the markets in which we operate, including our general expectations and
market position, market opportunity and market size, is based on industry publications and other published industry sources prepared by third parties, including Clarksons Research

sources, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires. We believe the data from third-party sources to be reliable based on our management’s knowledge of the
industry.

D. Risk Factors
An investment in the ordinary shares of Hafnia Limited involves inherent risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors set out in this section and all information contained in
this Annual Report, including the financial statements and related notes. The risk factors and uncertainties described in this “Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors” are the material
known risks and uncertainties faced by us as at the date of this Annual Report and represents those risks that we believe are the material risks relevant to an investor when making an
investment in our ordinary shares. Beyond the specific risks we consider material, we could also be impacted by broader factors common to other companies, including issues arising
from international operations, climate change, technological shifts and geopolitical events. An investment in Hafnia Limited and our ordinary shares is suitable only for investors who
understand the risks associated with this type of investment and who can afford to lose all or part of their investment.
Our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations, ability to pay dividends, future prospects and/or financial performance could be materially and adversely
affected if any of the risks described below occur either individually or together with other circumstances. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares could decline, and you
could lose all or part of your investment. You should carefully consider these risk factors and the information and data set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report.
The absence of negative past experience associated with a given risk factor does not mean that the risks and uncertainties described therein should not be considered prior to
making an investment decision. If any of the risk factors described below were to materialise, individually or together with other circumstances, it could have material and adverse impact
on us and/or our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and/or prospects, which may cause a decline in the value and trading price of our ordinary shares. A
decline in the value and trading price in our ordinary shares could result in a loss of all or part of an investment in our ordinary shares. Additional risk factors of which we are currently
unaware, or which we currently deem not to be risks, may also have corresponding negative effects.
This Annual Report also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our
actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to certain factors, including the risks facing our Company.
The risk factors included in this “Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors” are presented in a limited number of categories, where each individual risk factor is intended to be
placed in the most appropriate category based on the nature of the risk it represents. This does not mean that the risk factor could not have effects outside the category in which it is
listed. Within each category, the risk factors deemed most material for us, taking into account their potential negative effect on us and our subsidiaries and the probability of their
occurrence, are set out first. This does not mean that the remaining risk factors are ranked in order of their materiality or comprehensibility, nor based on a probability of their occurrence.
The risks mentioned herein could materialise individually, cumulatively, or together with other circumstances. We have in some of the risk factors indicated whether they would concern,
affect and/or impact our Hafnia Vessels, TC Vessels, JV Vessels and/or Pool Vessels. This is merely to illustrate the potential impacts and does not mean that categories of vessels not
listed in the risk factor in question would not be affected and/or impacted by the risks set out in the risk factor.
Summary of Key Risks
The below bullets summarise the principal risk factors related to an investment in Hafnia. Refer to the discussion below this summary for further elaboration of these and other risks
relevant when considering an investment in our ordinary shares.
• Developments in the global economy and the tanker industry, including the chemical and product tanker market, resulting in a reduction of hire and freight rates could adversely
affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operation.
• The tanker industry is cyclical and volatile, which may adversely affect our earnings and available cash flow.
• A reduction in the demand for oil and the occurrence of ‘peak oil’ may have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial
position.
• Changes in the economic, regulatory and political conditions in certain countries or regions and/or the development or increase of geopolitical tension as well as government
responses thereto, including but not limited to the imposition of tariffs, trade barriers, port fees, and sanctions may have a negative effect on our business, operation, earnings,
cash flow and financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Industry
Developments in the global economy and the tanker industry, including the chemical and product tanker market, resulting in a reduction of hire and freight rates could adversely
affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operation.
Our earnings and available cash are dependent on our ability to charge profitable hire or freight rates for the vessels in our Combined Fleet. A significant portion of our earnings are
related to the oil and petroleum product industry and we rely significantly on the cash flows generated from the employment of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels in the product tanker
sector of the shipping industry. Due to our lack of diversification, adverse developments in the tanker industry have a significantly greater impact on our financial condition and results
of operations than if we maintained more diverse assets or lines of business. Our operations are in this regard subject to most of the risks common in our industry and the chemical and
product tanker market. A number of factors outside of our control may adversely affect the hire and freight rates we are able to charge for the vessels in our Combined Fleet, including,
but not limited to, the global supply of vessel capacity, bunker fuel prices, emissions taxes, and global demand for oil, oil products and chemicals. Adverse developments in the product
tanker market could therefore negatively affect our financial condition, cash flows and our profitability.
We are particularly exposed to the short-term spot market. As at December 31, 2024, approximately 82% of the vessels in our Hafnia Fleet were operated in the spot market on short-
term contracts that normally do not extend beyond three months. Therefore, any adverse changes in the spot market hire or freight rates may significantly impact our revenue and
financial condition. Our significant exposure to the short-term spot market entails that our revenue is to a certain extent affected even by short-term fluctuations and extraordinary events
that temporarily affect hire or freight rates.
In case of adverse developments in the global economy and the tanker industry that result in, for example, an oversupply of chemical and product tanker capacity, we may not be
able to re-charter vessels at attractive rates. If we are unable to re-employ a Hafnia Vessel, we will not receive any revenue from that vessel, but we would still incur expenses relating to
maintaining the vessel in operating condition as well as interest and principal on our debt.
We monitor market developments closely to make timely and appropriate decisions regarding the deployment of our Combined Fleet and investment decisions. However, adverse
and unpredictable developments in the global chemical and product tanker market could result in deviations between our estimates and assumptions and the actual market situation. A
lower demand for chemical and product tanker capacity and consequential reductions in hire and freight rates may have a significant negative impact on us, our business, results of
operations, cash flow, financial condition and ability to pay dividends.
The tanker industry is cyclical and volatile, which may adversely affect our earnings and available cash flow.
The tanker industry is both cyclical and volatile in terms of charter rates and profitability. Periodic adjustments to the supply of and demand for chemical and product tankers cause
the industry to be cyclical in nature. We expect continued volatility in market rates for vessels in our Combined Fleet in the foreseeable future with a consequent effect on our short- and
medium-term liquidity. A worsening of current global economic conditions may cause tanker charter rates to decline and thereby adversely affect our ability to charter or re-charter
vessels in our Combined Fleet or to sell Hafnia Vessels on the expiration or termination of their charters. Additionally, the rates payable in respect of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels
currently operating in tanker pools, or any renewal or replacement charters that we enter into, may not be sufficient to allow us to operate our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels profitably.
Fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values result from changes in the supply and demand for tanker capacity and changes in the supply and demand for oil and oil products.
Factors affecting the supply and demand for tankers are outside of our control, and the nature, timing and degree of changes in industry conditions are unpredictable.

• supply of and demand for alternative sources of energy;
• changes in the price of oil and oil products, changes in the consumption of oil and petroleum products due to availability of new, alternative energy sources or changes in the

• the number of shipyards and ability of shipyards to deliver vessels;
• the price of newbuilds and the number of newbuild orders and deliveries, including slippage in deliveries;
• technological advances in tanker design and capacity;
• prices of steel and vessel equipment;
• availability of financing for new vessels and shipping activity and the available interest rate on financing;

• the extent and impact of recycling of older vessels, depending, among other things, on recycling rates and international recycling regulations;
• the number of conversions of tankers to other uses or conversions of other vessels to tankers;
• the number of product tankers trading crude or “dirty” oil products (such as fuel oil);
• the number of crude oil tankers and “dirty” product tankers used for transportation of clean petroleum products;
• the number of vessels that are out of service, namely those that are laid up, drydocked, awaiting repairs, used for floating storage, or otherwise not available for hire;
• the efficiency and age of the world tanker fleet;
• technical developments which affect the efficiency of vessels and time to vessel obsolescence;
• prevailing and expected future freight and charter rates;
• cost of bunkers and other sources of fuel for vessels and the impact on vessel speed;
• operating costs, including costs associated with classification society surveys, maintenance costs and insurance costs;
• regional availability of refining capacity and inventories compared to geographies of oil production regions;
• increases in the production of oil in areas linked by pipelines to consuming areas, the extension of existing or the development of new pipeline systems in markets we may serve
or the conversion of existing non-oil pipelines to oil pipelines in those markets;
• market expectations with respect to future supply of petroleum and petroleum products;
• regional availability of chemicals production and usage;
• developments in international trade, including refinery additions and closures;
• national policies regarding strategic oil inventories (including if strategic reserves are set at a lower level in the future as oil decreases in the energy mix);
• global and regional economic and political conditions, including economic slowdowns in certain countries and/or regions;
• inflationary pressure and the impact of policies aimed at combating inflation;

• currency exchange rates;
• changes in seaborne and other transportation patterns, including changes to the distance over which oil, oil products and chemical products are to be moved by sea;
• changes in governmental or maritime self-regulatory organisations’ rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities;
• changes in government and industry environmental, maritime transportation, and other regulations, recommendations and practices;
• product imbalances and hence lack of or surplus supply in certain regions (affecting the level of trading activity);
• business disruptions, including supply chain issues, due to climate, weather, and natural or other disasters, or otherwise;
• seasonal variations in the demand for oil caused by, amongst other things, lower consumption of oil in the northern hemisphere in the summer months as well as refinery
maintenance in this period;
• global and regional political developments, including ‘trade wars’ and armed conflicts, including the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and
Hamas, and other international hostilities or terrorist activities;
• labour disruptions including strikes and lock-outs;
• port or canal congestion;
• crew availability;
• developments in international trade, including those relating to the imposition of tariffs; and
• international sanctions, embargoes, price caps, import and export restrictions, nationalisations, and wars.
Declines in oil and natural gas prices for an extended period of time, or market expectations of potential decreases in these prices, could negatively affect the tanker sector and/or
our future growth in the tanker sector. Sustained periods of low oil and natural gas prices typically result in reduced exploration and extraction because oil and natural gas companies’
capital expenditure budgets are subject to cash flow from such activities and are therefore sensitive to changes in energy prices. These changes in commodity prices can have a material
effect on demand for our services, and periods of low demand can cause excess vessel supply and intensify the competition in the industry, which often results in vessels, particularly
older and less technologically advanced vessels, being idle for long periods of time. We cannot predict the future level of demand for our services or future conditions of the oil and
natural gas industry. Any decrease in exploration, development or production expenditures by oil and natural gas companies could reduce our revenues and materially harm our
business, results of operations and cash available for distribution.
Developments in technology impacts global supply chains, including by increasing digitisation and automation. If automation and digitisation become more commercially viable
and/or production of goods becomes more regional or local, the volumes of raw materials, intermediate products and goods being transported could decrease, which could have a
negative effect on the demand for maritime fuels and consequently, our services. Such decrease in demand for our services would negatively impact our business, financial condition,
and results of operations.
Recently, the U.S. Trade Representative (“USTR”) announced actions relating to Chinese influence in the maritime, logistics and shipbuilding sectors which included, amongst
other things, a proposal for additional port fees to be charged when Chinese-built vessels call U.S. ports. See “Changes in the economic, regulatory and political conditions in certain
countries or regions and/or the development or increase of geopolitical tension as well as government responses thereto, including but not limited to the imposition of tariffs, trade
barriers, port fees, and sanctions may have a negative effect on our business, operation, earnings, cash flow and financial condition.” for additional description of the USTR’s
proposal. If fees are introduced in the U.S. and/or other countries on U.S. port calls by vessels built in China and/or by vessels with Chinese owners or operators, the supply of vessels
may be affected, which could affect the available charter rates and which could have an effect on our results of operations.

A reduction in the demand for oil, including from a shift in consumer demand towards other energy sources, and the occurrence of ‘peak oil’ may have a material adverse effect on
our future performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
A shift in or disruption of the consumer demand from oil towards other energy resources such as wind, solar energy and other renewable energy sources, electricity, natural gas,
liquefied natural gas or hydrogen as well as a shift in governmental commitments and support for energy transition programs will potentially negatively affect the demand for our product
tankers. A shift from the use of internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles may also reduce the demand for oil. Additionally, when global crude oil production hits the
maximum rate and permanently starts to decline (‘peak oil’), it will likely impact the global product tanker market, and thus our business. While the International Energy Agency forecasts
that global oil demand will peak in 2030, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) does not foresee a peak in global oil demand in their long-term forecasts.
Nonetheless, if oil prices decline to uneconomic levels for producers, it may lead to declining output. A decline in the production of crude oil and/or the demand for crude oil and oil
products would likely result in an oversupply of product tanker capacity and may lead to a decline of the earnings from Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels employed on charters related to
market rates and may cause the value of our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels to decline. Further, there is a risk that financial institutions and investors will move away from allocating
capital to businesses involved in the transportation of fossil fuels. As such, it is likely that a shift in the demand for oil and the occurrence of ‘peak oil’ would adversely affect our results
of operations, cash flow and access to capital from external sources.
An over-supply of tanker capacity may lead to a reduction of charter rates, which may limit our ability to operate the vessels in our Combined Fleet profitably.
The market supply of tankers is affected by a number of factors, such as supply and demand for energy resources, including oil and petroleum products, supply and demand for
seaborne transportation of such energy resources, and the current and expected purchase orders for newbuilds. The product tanker newbuild orderbook equalled approximately 22% of
the existing world product tanker fleet in tonnage terms at the end of 2024. No assurance can be given that the orderbook will not increase further in proportion to the existing fleet. In
addition, product and crude tankers may be “cleaned up” from “dirty/crude” trades and swapped back into the product tanker market to transport clean petroleum products. This would
as a result increase the available product tanker tonnage, which may in turn affect the supply and demand balance for our product tankers. This shift was observed in the second half of
2024 when low crude freight rates prompted the transition of crude tankers into trading clean products.
If the capacity of new tankers delivered exceeds the capacity of tankers being recycled or converted to non-trading tankers, tanker capacity will increase. An oversupply of product
tanker capacity or a decrease in demand for product tankers or the products carried by product tankers may render us unable to re-charter our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels at attractive
rates and charter rates could materially decline. If we are unable to re-employ a vessel, we will not receive any revenue from the vessel, but we would still be required to pay interest, debt
and operating expenses as necessary to maintain the vessel in operating condition. A reduction in charter rates and the value of our Hafnia Vessels may have a material adverse effect on
our future performance, results of operations and available cash.
Tanker rates are subject to seasonal variations in demand and cyclical fluctuations.
Tanker markets are typically stronger in the winter months as a result of increased oil consumption in the northern hemisphere, but weaker in the summer months as a result of lower
oil consumption in the northern hemisphere and refinery maintenance that is typically conducted in the summer months. In addition, unpredictable weather patterns during the winter
months in the northern hemisphere tend to disrupt vessel routing and scheduling. The oil price volatility resulting from these factors has historically led to increased oil trading activities
in the winter months. As a result, revenues generated by vessels in our Combined Fleet have historically been weaker during the quarters ended June 30 and September 30, and stronger
in the quarters ended March 31 and December 31.

Changes in the economic, regulatory and political conditions in certain countries or regions and/or the development or increase of geopolitical tension as well as government
responses thereto, including but not limited to the imposition of tariffs, trade barriers, port fees, and sanctions may have a negative effect on our business, operation, earnings, cash
flow and financial condition.
Governments may turn and have in the past turned to trade barriers to protect or revive their domestic industries against foreign imports. Trade barriers, tariffs, and other measures
restricting import and export may affect the demand for shipping and uncertainties relating to trade barriers, tariffs, and other measures restricting import and export may adversely affect
our business and financial condition. In particular, recently leaders in the United States, China, Mexico and Canada have announced and/or implemented certain increasingly protective
trade measures, including tariffs. The introduction of trade barriers, tariffs or other trade measures, the perception that they may occur, and/or uncertainties about the extent of such trade
barriers, tariffs or other trade measures may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions, and may significantly reduce global trade. Furthermore, any such measures
may cause an increase in (a) the cost of goods exported from regions globally, (b) the length of time required to transport goods and (c) the risks associated with exporting goods. Such
increases may significantly affect the quantity of goods to be shipped, shipping time schedules, voyage expenses and other associated costs, which could have an adverse impact on
our charterers’ business, operating results and financial condition and could thereby affect their ability to make timely charter hire payments to us and to renew and increase the number
of their charters with us. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Uncertainties relating to tariffs, trade barriers and other trade measures could furthermore adversely affect our ability to obtain financing in the future on terms commercially
acceptable to us or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Additionally, the impact of tariffs, trade barriers and trade measures on the
foreign exchange and securities markets and any resulting changes in, for example, currency exchange rates and the market price of our ordinary shares could in turn adversely impact
our business and operations.
Trade barriers, tariffs and trade measures may also directly affect our operations. Our Hafnia Fleet includes many Chinese-built vessels and our Ecomar Joint Venture has ordered
newbuilds from a Chinese shipyard.
In early 2025, the USTR published a proposal for actions relating to Chinese influence in the maritime, logistics and shipbuilding sectors. In April 2025, the USTR announced the
measures that would be implemented. The USTR’s actions may significantly increase port fees and overall operating expenses for ships in our Combined Fleet calling at U.S. ports.
The measures announced by the USTR include (i) service fees payable in relation to U.S. port calls by vessels with Chinese operators (being the entities identified and whose name
would appear on the Vessel Entrance or Clearance Statement (CBP Form 1300) or its electronic equivalent) or Chinese owners based on the net tonnage of the vessel, initially at $0 per net
ton, increasing to $50 per net ton as of October 14, 2025, and thereafter increasing on an annual basis for three years to $140 per net ton by 2028, and (ii) service fees payable in relation
to U.S. port calls by Chinese-built vessels calculated with reference to the vessel’s net tonnage or containers discharged, initially at $0 per net ton, increasing to $18 per net ton as of
October 14, 2025, and thereafter increasing on an annual basis for three years to $33 per net ton by 2028. Vessels subject to service fees under (i) will not be subject to service fees under
(ii).
Service fees under (i) and (ii) would be payable in connection with the first U.S. port call of a vessel and will only be payable once per rotation or string of U.S. port calls with no
more than five payments per individual vessel per year.
Certain vessels will not be subject to the service fee in (ii), including but not limited to, vessels arriving in U.S ports empty or in ballast, vessels with capacities under certain limits,
and certain specialised vessels, including vessels purpose-built for the transport of chemical substances in bulk liquid forms (chemical tankers). Upon order and until delivery of a U.S.
built vessel of equal or greater capacity, the service fee in (ii) may be eligible for suspension on an equivalent size Chinese-built vessel for a period not to exceed three years.
In addition to the above-mentioned service fees, the USTR announced service fees payable in connection with U.S. port calls by foreign-built vehicle carriers and restrictions on
certain maritime transportation services in connection with the export of LNG from the U.S. Originally, the USTR had also proposed fees based on prospective orders of Chinese vessels,
but the USTR in April 2025 determined not to impose such fees.
The effects of the measures on our industry, our business, and our operation are unknown and unpredictable. As these measures were only announced very recently, we are still in
the process of assessing the service fees and their effects on us, our operations, our business, and the vessels in our Combined Fleet. The final form, scope, and effective dates of any
measures may significantly differ from those currently announced. In addition to direct port fee increases, retaliatory actions by China or other countries could indirectly impact port-
related costs, such as by imposing retaliatory port fees or restrictions on vessels of non-Chinese origin calling at Chinese ports, which could disrupt global shipping patterns and
potentially increase congestion and costs at ports worldwide. We may not be able to pass on additional costs and fees, if any, to our customers, and such costs and fees could therefore
materially impact our results of operations, cash flow, and ability to pay dividends.
As at the date of this Annual Report, the extent and impact of such trade measures are uncertain.

We are dependent on spot-oriented pools and spot charters and any decrease in spot charter rates in the future may have a material adverse effect on our business.
As at December 31, 2024, 87 of the vessels in the Hafnia Fleet were employed in either the spot market or our spot market-oriented Pools that are managed by us, exposing us to
fluctuations in spot market charter rates. The spot charter market may fluctuate significantly based upon tanker and oil supply and demand. The successful operation of the vessels in
our Hafnia Fleet in the competitive spot charter market, including within the Pools, depends on, among other things, obtaining profitable spot charters and minimising, to the extent
possible, time spent waiting for charters and time spent traveling unladen to pick up cargo.
The spot market is very volatile, and, in the past, there have been periods when spot charter rates have declined below the operating cost of vessels. If spot charter rates decline,
then we may be unable to operate our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels trading in the spot market profitably, meet our obligations, including payments on indebtedness, or pay dividends in
the future. Furthermore, as charter rates for spot charters are fixed for a single voyage that may last up to several weeks, during periods in which spot charter rates are rising we will
generally experience delays in realising the benefits from such increases, which may have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations, cash flows and
financial position. Additionally, in relation to TC Vessels and bareboat chartered-in Hafnia Vessels, we may be exposed to changes in the charter rates and freight rates that are
significantly below the charter rate agreed in our time charter-in or bareboat charter-in agreements.
Our ability to renew expiring charters or obtain new charters will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time. If we are not able to obtain new charters in direct
continuation with existing charters or upon taking delivery of a newly acquired vessel, or if new charters are entered into at charter rates substantially below the existing charter rates or
on terms otherwise less favourable compared to existing charter terms, our revenues and profitability could be adversely affected.
Changes in global trading patterns, particularly, but not limited to, the trading patterns for oil and oil products, may have a negative impact on our business.
Our business and results of operations are affected by the trading patterns for the cargo we transport, particularly the trading patterns for oil and oil products. Changes to the trade
patterns of oil and oil products may have a significant negative or positive impact on the tonne-mile and therefore the demand for our product tankers. Global events may cause demand
for oil and petroleum products to stagnate for an extended period of time as was the case from the second half of 2020 until the second quarter of 2022. Recently, the global trading
patterns for oil and oil products were impacted by the war between Ukraine and Russia, as well as the conflict between Israel and Hamas and the resulting disruptions in the Red Sea,
each of which initially led to an increase in the price of oil and oil products, longer seaborne routes and higher earnings for tankers. However, alternative trade routes to bypass the Red
Sea were established in the second half of 2024, with total tonnage transiting cross hemispheres gradually decreasing, resulting in shorter voyages which has had an impact on our
earnings. The continued and future impact of these conflicts on the tanker industry and consequently our business is uncertain. A full reversal of sanctions on Russia and disruptions in
the Red Sea and a corresponding full reversal of the changes to the supply and demand for oil and oil products and trading patterns combined with the older tanker fleet coming back to
the international market could have a significant impact on our results of operations. Such reversal of changes to global trading patterns to pre-war status or other changes in global
trading patterns, including, but not limited to, any leading to shorter distances of seaborne products trade, or changes in trading patterns as a result of a decrease in economic condition
of certain regions or countries or decreases in refinery capacity may have a negative adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and ability to
pay dividends.

An economic slowdown in the world or in certain regions or changes in the economic and political environment throughout the world or in certain regions could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Historically, there has been a link between the development of the world economy and the demand for oil and oil products. Deterioration or changes in the economic and political
environment in certain regions or the world economy could reduce regional or overall demand for chemical and petroleum products and for our services. While market conditions have in
recent years been good for our industry, economic slowdowns in the world or in certain regions or changes in the economic and political environment throughout the world and/or in
certain regions may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operation.
We anticipate a significant number of port calls made by vessels in our Combined Fleet will continue to involve the loading or discharging of cargo in ports in the Asia Pacific
region. Additionally, we have a number of other interests in the Asia Pacific region, including having placed orders for newbuilds with Chinese shipyards. As a result, any negative
changes in economic conditions in any Asia Pacific country, particularly in China, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, as
well as our future prospects.
Outside of the Asia Pacific region, the product tanker industry may additionally be negatively affected from other regional economic slowdowns, including if a potential economic
slowdown in the United States, Europe or other regions were to cause a decrease in imports or exports of refined products or were to cause a decrease in the demand for petroleum and
chemical products. This could have a negative impact on our earnings, cash flows and financial position.
State-owned enterprises account for a substantial portion of the Chinese industrial output and, continued reforms aim to enhance their profitability and competitiveness. If the
Chinese government does not continue to pursue a policy of economic reform, the level of imports to and exports from China could be adversely affected by changes to these economic
reforms by the Chinese government, as well as by changes in political, economic, and social conditions or other relevant policies of the Chinese government, such as changes in laws,
regulations or export and import restrictions. The Chinese government may also adopt policies favouring domestic shipping companies, hindering our competitiveness. For example,
China imposes a tax for non-resident international transportation enterprises engaged in the provision of services of passengers or cargo, among other items, in and out of China using
their own, chartered, or leased vessels. The regulation may subject international transportation companies to Chinese enterprise income tax on profits generated from international
transportation services passing through Chinese ports. This tax or similar regulations may result in an increase in the cost of cargo imported to China, the risks associated with importing
cargo to China, as well as a decrease in any cargo shipped from our charterers to China. This could have an adverse impact on our charterers’ business, operating results and financial
condition and could thereby affect their ability to make timely charter hire payments to us and to renew and increase the number of their time charters with us. An economic slowdown in
the economies of the European Union and other Asian countries may further adversely affect economic growth in China and elsewhere.
In addition, several initiatives are underway in China with a view to reduce their dependency on (foreign) oil and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. The method by which China
attempts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, and any consequential reduction in the demand for oil, petroleum, and related products, could have a material adverse effect on our
business, cash flows and results of operations.
Further increased geopolitical tensions may impact trade flows and tanker flows in the future. Recently, a number of tariffs and trade measures have been announced by
governments. See “Changes in the economic, regulatory and political conditions in certain countries or regions and/or the development or increase of geopolitical tension as well as
government responses thereto, including but not limited to the imposition of tariffs, trade barriers, port fees, and sanctions may have a negative effect on our business, operation,
earnings, cash flow and financial condition” for a description of the risk related to tariffs and other trade measures. A decrease in the level of imports to and exports from certain
countries or regions, including but not limited to China, the United States and the European Union, could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Outbreaks of epidemic or pandemic diseases or other infectious diseases and governmental responses thereto could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition, and results of operations.
Our business and operations are subject to risks relating to pandemics, epidemics or other disease outbreaks and government reactions thereto. The COVID-19 pandemic, which
began in 2020, led governments and governmental agencies to implement travel bans, quarantines, and other emergency public health measures including lockdowns, which resulted in a
significant reduction in global economic activity and volatility in the global financial markets. While COVID-19 no longer constitutes a global health emergency, a re-emergence of
COVID-19 or variants hereof or any other outbreaks of epidemic, pandemic or other infectious disease could have an adverse impact on the global economy which may cause the charter
rate and freight rate environment for tanker vessels to deteriorate, may reduce the global demand for oil and oil products, may reduce the market value of tanker vessels, may disrupt our
normal vessel operations and could lead to an increase of our operating and voyage expenses due to, among other things increased crew costs and health/safety arrangements or
increased fuel prices. Any of the foregoing could negatively impact our financial condition, operations and cash flows.
As at December 31, 2024 approximately 82% of the vessels in our Hafnia Fleet operate in the spot market where income margins are particularly sensitive to fluctuations in charter
and freight rates and therefore our TCE income may be materially and adversely affected by such fluctuations in charter and freight rates or voyage expenses. We cannot accurately
predict how future epidemics, pandemics, or other outbreaks of infectious diseases may affect our business, operations and financial condition because this will depend on various
unpredictable factors outside of our control, including, but not limited to, (i) the severity and duration of the outbreak; (ii) the extent of governmental response; (iii) the introduction and
extent of financial support measures aimed to reduce the impact on the economy; (iv) the impact on the volatility in the demand for and price of chemical and petroleum products; (v)
shortages or reductions in the supply of goods, services or labour; and (vi) fluctuations in general financial or economic conditions arising from the outbreak, such as changes to
interest rates or availability of credit.
We may be exposed to fraudulent behaviour, which may have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
The risk of fraud is inherent in all industries. However, the shipping industry has historically experienced a greater risk of fraud and fraudulent behaviour. Potential fraud risks
include purposeful manipulation and misrepresentation of financial statements, misappropriation of assets, corruption including bribery and kickbacks as well as cyberattacks.
Additionally, we are exposed to the risk of misrepresentations relating to the cargo we carry and/or other trade documentation, including the risk of fraud in relation to the origin of cargo
we carry. If we are exposed to fraud relating to the origin of cargo, we could risk being in breach of applicable sanctions, which could have a significant and material negative impact on
our reputation, business and financial condition.
We have established a system of internal controls to prevent and detect fraud and fraudulent behaviour, consisting of segregation of duties, authorisations for trading, purchase
and approval, codes of ethics and conduct, close monitoring of our financial position and a whistleblower facility., however, there can be no assurance that our fraud prevention
measures are sufficient to prevent or mitigate our exposure to fraud or fraudulent behaviour. Any such behaviour may have a material adverse effect on our reputation, results of
operations, cash flows and financial position.
If we, including the Pools, cannot meet our customers’ quality and compliance requirements, we may not be able to operate the vessels in our Combined Fleet profitably, which
could have an adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
Customers, in particular those in the oil industry, have a high focus on quality and compliance standards with their suppliers across the entire value chain, including the shipping
and transportation segment. Our, and the Pools’, continuous compliance with these standards and quality requirements is vital for our operations. Noncompliance by us or the Pools
either as a sudden and unexpected breach in quality and/or compliance concerning one or more vessels, or as a continuous decrease in the quality concerning one or more vessels
occurring over time as well as an increase in requirements by oil operators above and beyond what we deliver, may have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of
operations, cash flows and financial position.

Fluctuations in exchange rates and non-convertibility of currencies could result in financial losses to us.
We generate almost all revenues and incur the majority of our expenses in U.S. dollars. We still face exchange rate risks from revenues and expenses paid in currencies other than
U.S. dollars. This risk mainly involves DKK, EUR, Indian rupee, SGD, and other major currencies for administrative, operational, and local port expenses. Without adequate hedging,
currency fluctuations may cause losses and adversely affect our performance, results of operations, cash flows, and financial position.
Increased requirements relating to the fuel used by vessels may require us to retrofit our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels or change our approach to bunker purchase and may cause
us to incur significant costs.
Since 2020, the International Maritime Organization (the “IMO”) has imposed a limit for the sulphur content of vessels’ fuel oil of 0.5% m/m (mass by mass) in fuel used on board the
vessels. Shipowners may comply with this regulation by (i) using 0.5% sulphur fuels, which is available around the world but may entail a higher cost; (ii) installing exhaust gas cleaning
systems (“scrubbers”) for cleaning of the exhaust gas; or (iii) by retrofitting vessels to be powered by alternative fuel sources, which may not be a viable option for shipowners due to
the lack of supply network and high costs involved in this process. In addition to the general 0.5% requirement, certain areas (so-called Emission Control Areas) have been designated in
which stricter requirements apply. The cost of compliance with these requirements may be significant and may have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of
operations, cash flows and financial position. In addition, a widening of the spread between the prices of high sulphur fuel and low sulphur fuel may lead to a decrease in the economic
viability of older vessels that lack fuel efficiency and a reduction of useful lives for these vessels. For our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels that do not have scrubbers, we are complying
with the IMO standards by using compliant fuels. We may be or become subject to additional requirements in the future relating to the type and/or quality of fuel used by vessels in our
Combined Fleet.
As of January 1, 2025, the EU FuelEU Maritime Regulation (“FuelEU”) has imposed gradually decreasing greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emission intensity limits for energy used on
board vessels trading in or to and from the EU. We expect that in most cases, the cost of compliance will be borne by the entity responsible for a vessel’s commercial operation, such as a
time charterer or a pool manager. We therefore expect to have to manage or arrange compliance with FuelEU for most vessels in our Combined Fleet. Shipping companies must ensure
compliance with FuelEU by purchasing fuels with a lower GHG intensity or arrange compliance by other means, such as pooling over-compliant vessels with under-compliant vessels or
by paying a ‘FuelEU penalty’.
We may not be able to pass on the costs of complying with FuelEU to our customers. FuelEU, as well as other future rules, regulations, and requirements relating to the types of
fuel and quality of fuel used by vessels in our Combined Fleet may impact our business, lead to additional costs, and affect our results of operations. Furthermore, any transactions
relating to FuelEU such as sale or purchase of a right to pool vessels may have tax or VAT implications that are not certain or familiar in the industry and there is a risk that such tax or
VAT will have a negative effect on our results of operations or that we will not be able to comply with applicable rules because of the uncertainty of the regulation.
Furthermore, in April 2025, the 83
rd
session of the Marine Environment Protection Committee (“MEPC”), MEPC 83, approved an amendment to Annex VI of MARPOL providing for
a global GHG fuel intensity (“GFI”) standard (the “GFS”). The GFS will require vessels to comply with annual GFI targets, which will reduce over time. Failure in complying with the GFI
targets so may trigger a requirement to purchase remedial units to achieve compliance. The GFS is scheduled for adoption at an extraordinary session of the MEPC to be convened in
autumn 2025. If adopted, the measures will enter into force in March 2027.
The global sulphur cap, Emission Control Areas, GHG intensity reduction requirements under FuelEU and GHG intensity reduction requirements under the GFS, if adopted, as well
as other regulation relating to the fuels used by vessels may lead to changes in the production quantities and prices of different grades of marine fuel and renewable fuels, including
biofuels, and introduce an additional element of uncertainty in fuel markets, which could result in additional costs and adversely affect our cash flows, earnings and results of operations
as we may not be able to fully recover any increased cost of fuels through from our customers. Furthermore, we may have to incur additional costs to comply with such regulations
which we may not be able to recover from our customers. Such additional costs could impact our results of operations and cash flows.

We are subject to complex laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations, that can increase our liability and adversely affect our business, results of
operations, cash flows and financial condition, and our available cash.
Our operations are affected by extensive and changing international conventions and treaties, national, state and local laws and national and international regulations governing
environmental matters, climate change, and the global transition towards low-carbon or carbon-neutral solutions. Such regulatory measures may include, for example, the adoption of
sulphur caps, trade regimes (emission trading), carbon taxes, GHG intensity requirements, increased efficiency standards, incentives or mandates for renewable energy, and liability for
pollution or other environmental hazards. Regulatory measures relating to the environment and climate change may significantly impact the ownership and operation of our Hafnia
Vessels and JV Vessels and compliance with such regulatory measures may be expensive and any noncompliance may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
One area in which our operations are affected by regulatory requirements in environmental regulations is the IMO’s requirements relating to the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship
Index (“EEXI”), the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (“SEEMP”) and the operational carbon intensity reduction requirements based on the Carbon Intensity Indicator (“CII”),
which could require our Combined Fleet to slow down if efficiency improvements or transitions to alternative fuels together are not enough to reduce GHG emissions sufficiently, thus
impacting our expected business and competitive advantage. See “Item 4. Information on the Company – B. Business Overview – Environmental and Other Regulations in the
Shipping Industry” for additional information about our compliance with EEXI, SEEMP, and CII.
Another area in which our operations are affected are emission trading schemes such as the EU Emissions Trading System (“EU ETS”). Under the EU ETS, we are required to
surrender emission allowances corresponding to a certain amount of our emissions for voyages to and between EU/EEA ports. As the EU ETS was only recently extended to maritime
transport, there are still uncertainties relating to the best and most efficient method to arrange compliance with EU ETS. Noncompliance with the EU ETS or a failure to deal with EU ETS
obligations properly and efficiently could have material adverse consequences for our business, results of operations, future performance, and financial condition. Additionally, there is
uncertainty about the future pricing of EUAs and there is a risk that the price of EUAs may be driven up due to factors such as restricted supply, increased demand and the impact of
speculative trading. We cannot accurately predict the consequences of potential future taxation and VAT on EUAs; however, such taxation and VAT may have a negative effect on our
results of operations. Additionally, other jurisdictions may introduce emissions taxation applicable to our industry, which could have an impact on our results of operations.
Compliance with current and future legal and regulatory requirements relating to safety and environmental impact and climate change, GHG emissions, air emissions, management of
ballast water, as well as requirements relating to the speed and fuel consumption of vessels could increase the cost of operating and maintaining our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels,
require us to make changes to our business model, require us to accelerate the building of new vessels and increase the construction costs therefor, require us to install new technology,
equipment and installations on new and existing vessels, require reductions in cargo capacity, ship modifications or operational changes or restrictions, lead to impairment charges,
negatively affect the resale value of our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels, force us to retire older vessels earlier than expected, lead to decreased availability of insurance coverage for
environmental matters, or result in denial of access to certain jurisdiction waters or ports or detention in certain ports. If these outcomes were to occur, our business, results of
operations, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected.
In addition, many environmental requirements under local, national and foreign laws, conventions and regulations are designed to reduce the risk of pollution, such as from oil
spills, and our compliance with these requirements could be costly as we could become subject to material liabilities, including clean-up obligations and natural resources damages
liability if there is a release of hazardous materials from our Hafnia Vessels or JV Vessels or otherwise in connection with our operations. Further, we are required to satisfy insurance and
financial responsibility requirements for potential oil (including marine fuel) spills and other pollution incidents. To comply with these and other regulations, including the sulphur
emission requirements of Annex VI of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships 1973, as modified by the protocol of 1978 relating thereto (collectively,
“MARPOL”), which instituted a global sulphur cap on marine fuel consumed by a vessel, unless the vessel is equipped with a scrubber and IMO’s International Convention for the
Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, which requires vessels to install ballast water treatment systems. Additionally, we may be required to incur costs related
to repair and replacement of ballast water treatment systems and scrubbers installed on our Hafnia Vessels during the vessels’ lifetimes. Future investments in ballast water treatment
systems and scrubbers as well as new regulation regarding ballast water treatment systems could have an adverse material impact on our business, financial condition, and results of
operations depending on the ability to install effective ballast water treatment systems and the extent to which existing vessels must be modified to accommodate such systems. See
“Item 4. Information on the Company – B. Business Overview – Environmental and Other Regulations in the Shipping Industry” for more information on the regulations applicable to
us in relation to ballast water management.

We could face material liability under local, national and foreign laws, conventions and regulations for remediation of spills and releases of oil and hazardous substances. These
regulations may impose strict liability, which could subject us to liability without regard to whether we were negligent or at fault. We could also become subject to personal injury or
property damage claims relating to the release of hazardous substances associated with our existing or historic operations. Violations of, or liabilities under, environmental requirements
can result in substantial penalties, fines, and other sanctions, including, in certain instances, seizure or detention of a vessel in our Combined Fleet, and could harm our reputation with
current or potential charterers of the vessels in our Combined Fleet. Although we have arranged insurance to cover certain environmental risks, there can be no assurance that such
insurance will be sufficient to cover all such risks or that any claims will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and
available cash.
Notwithstanding the measures already taken by us to comply with applicable regulations and standards, additional conventions, laws and regulations may be adopted that could
limit our ability to do business or increase the cost of doing business and which may materially and adversely affect our operations. Additionally, evolving demands for stronger
protection of environment, evolving laws and regulations, and evolving decarbonisation policies may have a significant impact on our Hafnia Vessels’ and JV Vessels’ useful lives and
residual values and the valuation of our Hafnia Vessels, and also could have an adverse impact on our future performance, revenue and financial condition. Pressure from governments,
investors, lenders, and other market participants to voluntarily participate in ‘green’ shipping initiatives could cause us to incur significant additional expenses. We continue to monitor
and assess the potential impact of such developments on our operations and financial performance.
See “Item 4. Information on the Company – B. Business Overview – Environmental and Other Regulations in the Shipping Industry” for a discussion of the environmental and
other regulations applicable to us. A failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in administrative and civil penalties, criminal sanctions or the suspension or
termination of our operations.
Developments in safety and environmental requirements relating to the recycling of vessels may result in escalated and unexpected costs.
The 2009 Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships (the “Hong Kong Convention”) aims to ensure that when vessels are
being recycled, they do not pose unnecessary risks to the environment, human health, or safety. The Hong Kong Convention will enter into force on June 26, 2025. Under the Hong
Kong Convention, each vessel sent for recycling must carry an inventory of its hazardous materials, authorised recycling facilities must provide a vessel-specific recycling plan, and
governments must ensure the compliance of recycling facilities in their jurisdiction Vessels must undergo to confirm their inventory of hazardous materials initially, throughout their lives
and prior to being recycled.
In 2013, the Ship Recycling Regulation was adopted in the EU. The regulation, which is aligned with the Hong Kong Convention, requires EU member state-flagged vessels to use
only EU-permitted recycling facilities. Under this regulation, vessels calling at EU ports or flying an EU flag must maintain an inventory of hazardous materials. This system identifies and
tracks hazardous materials exceeding certain thresholds in the vessel’s structure and equipment.
Although we have not recycled vessels before, these regulations may affect our future business and operations. We may also need additional contractual provisions when selling
older vessels to ensure the buyer complies with the relevant regulations. Increasing requirements under the EU Ship Recycling Regulation and the Hong Kong Convention could raise
costs at shipyards, repair yards, and recycling yards. Such costs might reduce a vessel’s residual recycling value, potentially failing to cover compliance costs and adversely affecting
our future performance, results of operations, cash flows, and financial position. For additional information regarding such regulatory requirements, see “Item 4. Information on the
Company – B. Business Overview – Environmental and Other Regulations in the Shipping Industry – Waste Management and Ship Recycling.”

Our global operations expose us to global risks, such as political instability, terrorist or other attacks, piracy, war, and international hostilities which may affect the tanker industry
and adversely affect our business.
We are an international tanker company and conduct our operations globally. Our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and ability to pay dividends, if
any, may be adversely affected by changing economic, political and government conditions in the countries and regions where the vessels in our Combined Fleet are employed or
registered. Moreover, we operate in a sector of the economy that is likely to be adversely impacted by the effects of political conflicts, including the current political instability in the
Middle East and the South China Sea region and other geographic countries and areas, geopolitical events such as terrorist or other attacks (and the threat of future terrorist and other
attacks), including attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea, piracy, war (or threatened war) or international hostilities, such as those between the United States and North Korea,
between Russia and Ukraine and between Israel and Hamas. Any of these occurrences, including, but not limited to, war in a country in which a material supplier or customer of ours is
located, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Continuing war and conflicts, terrorist attacks, as well as the frequent incidents of terrorism in the Middle East, and the continuing response of the United States and others to
these attacks, as well as the threat of future terrorist attacks around the world, continue to cause uncertainty in the world’s financial markets and may affect our business, operating
results and financial condition. In the past, political instability has also resulted in attacks on vessels, mining of waterways and other efforts to disrupt international shipping, particularly
in the Arabian Gulf region and in the Black Sea in connection with the war between Russia and Ukraine and in the Red Sea in connection with the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
We have operations in high-risk areas where we are exposed to the risk of piracy and other types of attacks on ocean-going vessels. Piracy remains prevalent in certain regions,
including Somalia, the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Gulf of Guinea, the Gulf of Aden, the Celebes Sea, the Sulu Sea, and parts of Asia including the Singapore Strait, posing
significant risks to our vessels and crew. Geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East region may lead to collateral damages in the waters off Yemen as well as in the Gulf of Oman or Arabian
Gulf. There have been attacks on vessels in our Combined Fleet in the past and there can be no assurance that we will not be victim to future attacks on our Combined Fleet. Any attacks
on vessels in our Combined Fleet, such as attacks by pirates, could result in material damage to the vessels or harm to crew members and could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations. In addition, detention or hijacking as a result of an act of piracy against our Hafnia Vessels or JV Vessels, or increases
in cost associated with seeking to avoid such events (including increased bunker costs resulting from vessels being rerouted or travelling at increased speeds as recommended by
applicable best management practices) could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, ability to pay dividends, cash flows and financial condition and may
result in loss of revenues, increased costs and decreased cash flows to our customers, which could impair their ability to make payments to us under our charters.
Further, such attacks (or the risk of such attacks) may cause increased insurance premiums, restricted or reduced insurance coverage, increased operating costs due to increased
security arrangements and increased operational costs, increased crew costs, off-hire, delays, and disruptions. If regions in which our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels are employed are or
become characterised by insurers as “war risk” zones or Joint War Committee “war and strikes” listed areas, premiums payable for coverage in these areas could increase significantly
and such insurance coverage may be more difficult to obtain. In addition, crew and security equipment costs, including costs relating to onboard security guards, could increase in such
circumstances. We may not be adequately insured to cover losses from these incidents, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
Uncertainties relating to war and conflicts and the risk of terrorist, piracy or other attacks on vessels in our Combined Fleet could also in the future adversely affect our ability to
obtain additional financing on terms commercially acceptable to us or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
The war between Russia and Ukraine has had a significant direct and indirect impact on the trade of refined petroleum products. This war has resulted in the United States, United
Kingdom, and the European Union, among other countries, implementing sanctions and restrictive measures against certain persons, entities, and activities connected to Russia. See “If
vessels in our Combined Fleet call on ports located in countries or territories that are subject to sanctions or embargoes imposed by the United States, the European Union, the
United Kingdom, or other governments or our operations are otherwise deemed in conflict with sanctions or embargoes, monetary fines or other penalties could be imposed on us
and our reputation may suffer harm.” for a description of the risks related to sanctions.

Disruptions to shipping in the Red Sea in connection with the conflict between Israel and Hamas could have a negative effect on our operations, business, cash flows, financial
condition, and results of operation.
Since late 2023, the shipping industry has been impacted by disruptions in the Red Sea due to Houthi forces based in Yemen attacking vessels transiting the Red Sea in connection
with the conflict between Israel and Hamas. We continuously review the situation in the Red Sea and, as at the time of this Annual Report, expect to direct our vessels to continue to go
around the Cape of Good Hope until we are confident that resuming voyages in the Red Sea is safe for our crew and our vessels.
Our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels have in the past frequently passed through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, and if they are in the future directed to transit the Red Sea, there is a
risk that they could be subject to attacks. Any such attack may result in material damage to the vessel or harm to our crew members and may additionally cause increased insurance
premiums and increased operating costs due to increased security arrangements and unexpected and costly delays and increased crew costs to compensate the crew for the increased
risk. Additionally, it may become difficult to obtain adequate insurance coverage at an acceptable price or at all. Furthermore, our crew members may refuse to complete a planned transit
of the Red Sea which could lead to costly delays. Any of the forementioned consequences could have a material adverse effect on our operation and business.
If we choose to not direct the vessels in our Combined Fleet through the Red Sea, they will typically instead transit around the Cape of Good Hope. This voyage is longer and
therefore increases the cost of the voyage. While we can currently pass on most of these costs to charterers, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to do so. If we
cannot pass on the cost of the longer voyage to charterers, our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted. Recently, we have observed a
trend towards shorter voyages within hemispheres bypassing the need to transit the Red Sea or to go around the Cape of Good Hope. A continued trend of shorter voyages or an
increase of such trend may lead to reduced earnings and therefore may negatively impact our results of operations.
If other vessel operators start to direct their vessels to transit the Red Sea and Suez Canal while we direct our vessels to go around the Cape of Good Hope, our competitiveness
may be negatively impacted as our competitors may be able to offer shorter voyages and better rates. Our reduced capacity and/or our reduced competitiveness may negatively impact
our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.
If security in the Red Sea improves and the industry deems it safe to resume normal transit through the Suez Canal, the demand for additional tanker capacity caused by rerouted
voyages around the Cape of Good Hope would decline. This could result in shorter voyages, lower demand for our vessels, and downward pressure on charter rates. Such impacts could
negatively impact our earnings and financial performance.
We cannot accurately assess or estimate what impact the situation in the Red Sea could have on our operations and financial condition in the medium and long term.

If vessels in our Combined Fleet call on ports located in countries or territories that are subject to sanctions or embargoes imposed by the United States, the European Union, the
United Kingdom, or other governments or our operations are otherwise deemed in conflict with sanctions or embargoes, monetary fines or other penalties could be imposed on us
and our reputation may suffer harm.
Our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels have not in violation of applicable sanctions laws or embargo laws called at ports located in countries or territories subject to country-wide or
territory-wide comprehensive sanctions and/or embargoes imposed by the U.S. government, the European Union, the United Kingdom or other authorities (“Sanctioned Jurisdictions”).
We endeavour to take precautions reasonably designed to mitigate the risk of any such occurrences, but it is possible that, in the future, vessels in our Combined Fleet may carry cargo
from or call on ports in Sanctioned Jurisdictions on charterers’ instructions with or without our consent. If any such activities result in a violation of applicable sanctions or embargo
laws, we could be subject to monetary fines, civil or criminal penalties, or other sanctions, and our reputation and the market for our ordinary shares could be adversely affected. Even
though we take precautions reasonably designed to mitigate such activities, such as enhanced due diligence and Know Your Customer (“KYC”) procedures for counterparty
onboarding, recurrent screening, and including relevant provisions in charter agreements forbidding the use of vessels in our Combined Fleet in trade that would violate sanctions laws
or embargo laws, there can be no assurance that we will maintain such compliance, particularly as the scope of certain sanctions laws and embargo laws may be unclear and may be
subject to changing interpretations.
Certain sanctions exist under a strict liability regime. This means that for a party to be liable under the sanctions, it is not a requirement that the party knew they were violating
sanctions or that they intended to violate sanctions. We could be subject to monetary fines, civil or commercial penalties or other sanctions for violating applicable sanctions or embargo
laws even in circumstances where our conduct or the conduct of one of our charterers was inconsistent with our sanctions-related policies, unintentional, or inadvertent.
The laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate or whose laws and regulations are otherwise applicable to us vary in their application and do not all apply to the
same covered persons or proscribe the same activities. In addition, the sanctions and embargo laws and regulations of each jurisdiction may be amended to increase or reduce the
restrictions they impose over time, and the lists of persons and entities designated under these laws and regulations are amended frequently. Moreover, most sanctions regimes provide
that entities owned or controlled by the persons or entities designated in such lists are also subject to sanctions. The United States and European Union have enacted new sanctions
programs in recent years. Additional countries or territories, as well as additional persons or entities within or affiliated with those countries or territories, have been (and in the future
may be) the target of sanctions. Furthermore, the United States has increased its focus on sanctions enforcement with respect to the shipping sector. Current or future counterparties of
ours may be affiliated with persons or entities that are or may be in the future the subject of sanctions imposed by the United States, the EU, and/or other international bodies. If we
determine that such sanctions require us to terminate existing or future contracts to which we or our subsidiaries are party or if we are found to be in violation of such applicable
sanctions, our results of operations may be adversely affected or we may suffer reputational harm. As at the date of this Annual Report, to the best of our knowledge, we do not believe
that any of our existing counterparties are affiliated with persons or entities that are subject to such sanctions.
As a result of Russia’s actions in Ukraine, the United States, European Union and United Kingdom and other governments have imposed significant sanctions on persons and
entities associated with Russia and Belarus, as well as comprehensive sanctions on certain areas within the Donbas and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, and such sanctions apply to
entities owned or controlled by such designated persons or entities. These sanctions adversely affect our ability to operate in the region and also restrict parties whose cargo we may
carry. Sanctions against Russia have also placed significant prohibitions on the maritime transportation of seaborne Russian oil, the importation of certain Russian energy products and
other goods, and new investments in the Russian Federation. These sanctions further limit the scope of permissible operations and cargo we may carry. These sanctions, and any future
sanctions whether related to the war between Russia and Ukraine or otherwise, may have an adverse impact on our business and in a worst-case scenario, our ability to trade with certain
countries, including entities and individuals linked to such countries, may be severely restricted. The EU and the United States have prohibited a variety of specified services related to
the maritime transport of Russian Federation origin crude oil and petroleum products, including trading/commodities brokering, financing, shipping, insurance (including reinsurance and
protection and indemnity), flagging, and customs brokering. An exception exists to permit such services when the price of the seaborne Russian oil does not exceed the relevant price
cap, but implementation of this price exception relies on a recordkeeping and attestation process that allows each party in the supply chain of seaborne Russian oil to demonstrate or
confirm that oil has been purchased at or below the price cap. Further, effective as of February 27, 2025, the United States has also prohibited the provision of petroleum services in
certain specified circumstances, including for the provision of services for products purchased at or below the aforementioned price caps. Violations of the petroleum services
prohibition or the price cap policy, including the risk that information, documentation, or attestations provided by parties in the supply chain are later determined to be false or
insufficient, may pose additional risks adversely affecting our business.

With effect from December 18, 2023, additional sanctions were introduced by the EU which prohibit the direct or indirect sale or other transfer of tanker vessels to any natural or
legal person in Russia or for use in Russia unless a license is obtained from the competent national authority. On February 24, 2025, a ban was introduced on direct or indirect
transactions with certain Russian infrastructure, including ports, except where such transactions are covered by specified exceptions for EU operators and notified to their relevant EU
member state.
The EU sanctions apply to actions taken from within the EU territory, by EU-based employees and EU nationals and by EU based companies. Therefore, although the majority of
our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels are legally owned by non-EU companies, we need to ensure compliance with these sanctions and other applicable sanctions and restrictions when and
if we divest vessels.
Although we believe that we have been and are in compliance with all applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations, and intend to maintain such compliance, there can be
no assurance that we will be in compliance in the future, particularly as the scope of certain laws may be unclear and may be subject to changing interpretations. Any future violation of
applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations could result in fines, penalties or other sanctions that could severely impact our ability to access U.S. capital markets and
conduct our business, and could result in some investors deciding, or being required, to divest their interest, or not to invest, in us. A breach of sanctions, inadvertently or not, could
result in Hafnia becoming a Specially Designated National (“SDN”) under sanctions issued by U.S, EU, UK, UN or other authorities. This, in turn, could in the worst case be terminal for
our business.
Furthermore, a breach of sanctions, inadvertently or not, could constitute a breach under certain of our contractual arrangements, including but not limited to financing
arrangements, and such breach of contractual arrangements could have a material negative impact on our business, financial position and cash flows.
In addition, certain institutional investors may have investment policies or restrictions that prevent them from holding securities of companies that have contracts with countries
identified by the U.S. government as state sponsors of terrorism. The determination by these investors not to invest in, or to divest from, our securities may adversely affect the price at
which our securities trade. Moreover, our charterers may violate applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations as a result of actions that do not involve us or the vessels in our
Combined Fleet, and those violations could in turn negatively affect our reputation and the market for our securities. Some investors may decide to divest their interest, or not to invest,
in our company simply because we do business with companies that do business in sanctioned countries or territories.
The complexity and evolving nature of sanctions creates potential inadvertent misinterpretation, which may expose us to reputational harm even if no actual breach of sanctions
has occurred. Furthermore, the concept of ‘good business practice’ in our industry may develop and is in all cases subject to subjective interpretation. Unsubstantiated allegations from
journalists or other stakeholders that suggest we may have breached sanctions or may have not followed ‘industry good business practice’ may result in reputational damage, could
have a negative impact on market sentiment and therefore the price of our ordinary shares and could result in a potential loss of business.
We may be subject to litigation that, if not resolved in our favour and not sufficiently insured against, could have a material adverse effect on us.
We and our activities are subject to both Singapore law and foreign laws and regulations many of which include legal standards, which are subject to interpretation, and we are
party to agreements and transactions involving matters of assessment of interests of various stakeholders and valuation of assets, liabilities and contractual rights and obligations.
Furthermore, we may be subject to the jurisdiction of courts or arbitration tribunals in many different jurisdictions.
Our counterparties and other stakeholders or authorities may dispute our compliance with laws and regulations or contractual undertakings or the assessments made by us in
connection with our business and our entry into agreements or transactions. The outcome of any such dispute or legal proceedings is inherently uncertain and may result in payment of
substantial amounts in legal fees and damages or that a transaction or agreement is deemed invalid or voidable. Such proceedings or decisions could have a material adverse effect on
our future performance, results of operations, cashflows and financial position. If cases or proceedings in which we may be involved are determined to our disadvantage, it may result in
fines, default under our credit facilities, damages or reputational damage and could have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations, cash flows and
financial position.

Maritime claimants could arrest or attach vessels in our Combined Fleet, which would have a negative effect on our cash flows.
Crew members, suppliers of goods and services to a vessel, shippers of cargo, lenders, and other parties may be entitled to a maritime lien against a vessel for unsatisfied debts,
claims or damages. In many jurisdictions, a maritime lien holder may enforce its lien by arresting or attaching a vessel through judicial or foreclosure proceedings. Furthermore, claimants
could try to assert “sister ship” liability against one vessel in our Combined Fleet for claims relating to another of our ships. The arrest or attachment of one or more of the vessels in our
Combined Fleet could interrupt our business, result in a significant loss of earnings for the related off-hire period, or require us to pay large sums of money to have the arrest lifted, and
could therefore have a material negative effect on our cash flows.
Governments could requisition vessels in our Combined Fleet during a period of war or emergency, which may negatively impact our business, financial condition, cash flows,
results of operations, available cash and ability to pay dividends.
A government could requisition one or more of the vessels in our Combined Fleet for title or hire. Requisition for title occurs when a government takes control of a vessel and
becomes the owner. Requisition for hire occurs when a government takes control of a vessel and effectively becomes the charterer at dictated charter rates. Generally, requisitions occur
during a period of war or emergency. Government requisition of one or more of the vessels in our Combined Fleet may negatively impact our business, financial condition, cash flows,
results of operations, available cash and ability to pay dividends.
Technological innovation could lower our vessel utilisation, reduce our charter rates and/or reduce the value of our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels.
The charter rates and the value and operational life of a vessel are determined by a number of factors including the vessel’s efficiency, operational flexibility and physical life.
Efficiency includes speed, fuel economy and the ability to load and discharge cargo quickly. Flexibility includes the ability to enter harbours, utilise related docking facilities and pass
through canals and straits. The length of a vessel’s physical life is related to its original design and construction, its maintenance and the impact of the stress of operations. We may face
competition from companies with more modern vessels with more fuel efficient designs than the vessels in our Hafnia Fleet, and if new tankers are built that are more efficient or more
flexible or have longer physical lives than the current generation vessels, competition from the current vessels and any more technologically advanced vessels could adversely affect our
vessel utilisation, charter rates for the vessels in our Combined Fleet and the resale value of our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels. Similarly, if technologically advanced vessels are needed
to comply with environmental laws, the necessary investment along with the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow, available
cash, and the resale value of vessels.

Global climate change may increase the frequency and severity of weather events and the losses resulting therefrom, which could have a material adverse effect on the economies in
the markets in which we operate or plan to operate in the future and therefore on our business.
Over the past several years, changing weather patterns and climate conditions, such as global warming, have added to the unpredictability and frequency of natural disasters in
certain parts of the world, including the markets in which we operate and intend to operate, and have created additional uncertainty to future trends. There is a growing consensus today
that climate change increases the frequency and severity of extreme weather events and, in recent years, the frequency of major weather events appears to have increased. We cannot
predict whether or to what extent damage that may be caused by natural events, such as severe tropical storms, hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons will affect our operations or the
economies in our current or future market areas, but the increased frequency and severity of such weather events could increase the negative impact on economic conditions in these
regions and affect our ability to transport oil or chemical cargoes. In particular, if one of the regions in which vessels in our Combined Fleet and other vessels we may acquire in the
future are operating is impacted by such a natural catastrophe, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, the
economies of such impacted areas may require significant time to recover and there is no assurance that a full recovery will occur.
Increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from investors, lenders, regulators, and other market participants with respect to our Environmental, Social and Governance
(“ESG”) policies and disclosure requirements may impose additional costs on us or expose us to additional risks.
Companies across all industries are facing increasing scrutiny relating to their ESG policies and disclosure requirements. Investor advocacy groups, certain institutional investors,
investment funds, lenders and other market participants have been increasingly focused on ESG practices especially as they relate to the environment health and safety, diversity, labour
conditions and human rights, and have placed increasing importance on the implications and social cost of their investments. The increased attention and activism related to ESG and
similar matters may hinder our access to capital, as investors and lenders may decide to reallocate capital or to not commit capital as a result of their assessment of our ESG practices.
Failure to adapt to or comply with evolving investor, lender or other industry shareholder expectations and standards, or the perception of not responding appropriately to the growing
concern for ESG issues, regardless of whether there is a legal requirement to do so, may damage our reputation or the market price of our ordinary shares, resulting in direct or indirect
material and adverse effects on our business and financial condition.
In the EU, rules and regulations have been and are being developed requiring companies to further report on their corporate sustainability. Among these rules is the Corporate
Sustainability Reporting Directive (“CSRD”). The CSRD requires companies to disclose information on what they see as risks and opportunities arising from social and environmental
issues and on the impact of their activities on people and the environment. The specific information to be reported is set out in the European Sustainability Reporting Standards. The
CSRD applies to certain EU companies and companies listed on EU stock exchanges, including non-EU companies listed on EU stock exchanges and will in time also apply to certain
non-EU companies with EU subsidiaries or branches in EU member states. Norway has implemented the CSRD into national law with CSRD to take effect in Norway at the same time as in
the EU.
In addition to the CSRD, on July 25, 2024, the directive on corporate sustainability due diligence directive (the “CSDDD”) entered into force and must be transposed into national
law by EU member states before July 26, 2026. The CSDDD will gradually start to apply to companies from July 26, 2027. The CSDDD will require large companies to undertake due
diligence on the company’s own operations, their subsidiaries, and where related to their value chain(s), those of their business partners. Additionally, the CSDDD obligates large
companies to adopt and put into effect through their best efforts a transition plan for climate change mitigation aligned with the climate neutrality objective of the Paris Agreement and
intermediate targets under the European climate law.
We are, due to our listing on the Oslo Børs in Norway, subject to the CSRD, the EU Taxonomy Regulation (“EU Taxonomy”), and may in the future become subject to the CSDDD
depending on how the CSDDD is implemented into law in Norway. Although the scope of companies subject to the CSRD may be reduced, we expect to continue to be subject to the
CSRD and as a result we will have to comply with the CSRD in our reporting for the year ending December 31, 2024. The EU Taxonomy is a classification scheme which translates the
environmental objectives of the European Union into criteria to be used in the determination of whether an economic activity can be considered environmentally sustainable.

In February 2025, the EU Commission presented an omnibus proposal on the CSRD, CSDDD and the EU Taxonomy. Amongst other things, the proposal included amendments
aimed at simplifying sustainability reporting requirements, including, but not limited to, for the CSRD, a reduction of in-scope companies and a deletion of sector-specific standards and
for the CSDDD, a postponement of the transposition deadline and certain simplifications to the due diligence requirements. For the EU Taxonomy, a reduction of in-scope companies and
certain limitation of reporting requirements were announced. It is expected that the omnibus proposal may be approved in late 2025 or early 2026.
We may have to incur significant additional costs and may have to acquire additional resources to implement, monitor, report, and comply with the wide-ranging ESG requirements
we are and may become subject to in the future, including, but not limited to, the above-described EU and Norwegian requirements. Additionally, compliance with ESG-requirements may
take up time for our management and Board of Directors and we cannot predict what influence, if any, this will have on our business, future performance, and financial condition. If we
cannot comply with applicable ESG reporting requirements, we may be subject to criminal or civil penalties, our reputation may suffer harm, and our business, results of operations, cash
flows, and financial condition may be adversely impacted.
We may in the future face increasing pressures from investors, lenders, and other market participants who are increasingly focused on climate change to prioritise sustainable
energy practices, reduce our carbon footprint, and promote sustainability. As a result, we may be required to implement more stringent ESG procedures or standards so our existing and
future investors and lenders remain invested in us and make further investments in us, especially given the highly focused and specific trade of in which we are engaged. We may have
to increase our resource allocation to comply with more stringent ESG procedures or standards which could increase our costs and capital expenditures. Members of the investment
community are also increasing their focus on ESG disclosures, including disclosures related to GHG and climate change in the energy industry in particular, and diversity and inclusion
initiatives and governance standards among companies more generally. As a result, we may face increasing pressure regarding our ESG disclosures. If we do not meet the ESG standards
set or expected by investors, lenders, and other market participants, our business and/or our ability to access capital could be adversely impacted.
Certain investors and lenders may exclude oil and oil product transport companies, such as us, from their investing portfolios altogether due to ESG considerations. These
limitations in both the debt and equity capital markets may affect our ability to grow as our plans for growth may include accessing the equity and debt capital markets. If those markets
are unavailable, or if we are unable to access alternative means of financing on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be unable to implement our business strategy, which would have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and impair our ability to service our indebtedness.
Conversely, in recent years “anti-ESG” sentiment has gained momentum across the United States, with several states and Congress having proposed or enacted “anti-ESG”
policies, legislation, or initiatives or issued related legal opinions, and the U.S. President having recently issued an executive order opposing diversity equity and inclusion (DEI)
initiatives in the private sector. On February 11, 2025, Acting Chairman Uyeda announced a shift in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) stance on climate-related
disclosure rules the SEC adopted in March 2024, which rules were facing judicial review in a number of court challenges and ultimately under consideration by the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Eighth Circuit, stating that SEC staff had been instructed to request that the court not schedule the case for argument.
Anti-ESG and anti-DEI-related policies, legislation, initiatives, litigation, legal opinions, and scrutiny could result in us facing additional compliance obligations, becoming the
subject of litigation, investigations and enforcement actions, or sustaining reputational harm, any of which could have a material negative effect on our financial condition. Therefore, to
the extent we take actions that are seen as positive to some investors, other investors may take issue with such actions or face regulatory pressure to refrain from investing in, or divest
from, our business. As we are listed in both Norway and the U.S., we may become subject to conflicting requirements. There is a risk that we may be obligated to take certain actions, for
example in relation to ESG; which could expose us to litigation, investigations or enforcement actions in other jurisdictions.
From time to time, in alignment with our sustainability priorities, we may establish and publicly announce goals and commitments in respect of certain ESG items, such as shipping
decarbonisation. While we may create and publish voluntary disclosures regarding ESG matters from time to time, many of the statements in those voluntary disclosures are based on
hypothetical expectations and assumptions that may or may not be representative of current or actual risks or events or forecasts of expected risks or events, including the costs
associated therewith. Such expectations and assumptions are necessarily uncertain and may be prone to error or subject to misinterpretation given the long timelines involved and the
lack of an established single approach to identifying, measuring and reporting on many ESG matters. If we fail to achieve or improperly report on our progress toward achieving our
environmental goals and commitments, the resulting negative publicity could adversely affect our reputation, our business and/or our access to capital.

Finally, certain organisations that provide information to investors on corporate governance and related matters have developed ratings processes for evaluating companies on
their approach to ESG matters. Such ratings are used by some investors to inform their investment and voting decisions. Unfavourable ESG ratings and recent activism directed at
shifting funding away from companies with fossil fuel-related assets could lead to increased negative investor sentiment toward us and our industry and to the diversion of investment
to other, non-fossil fuel markets, which could have a negative impact on our access to and costs of capital.
Potential labour disruptions could interfere with our operations and have an adverse effect on our business.
As at December 31, 2024, we had more than 4,600 seafarers employed on Hafnia Vessels directly by us or through external technical managers, and a total of more than 4,900
employees onshore and off-shore. The majority of our seagoing staff is represented by labour unions under collective bargaining agreements in their home countries, which include
several jurisdictions. We believe we will be able to negotiate new collective bargaining agreements and/or renew our collective bargaining agreements in the future; however, there is a
risks of potential material labour disputes and disruption of our operations associated with the negotiation and renegotiation of such agreements. Future labour disputes and/or adverse
employee relations may materially affect our operations and reputation.
Further, we believe we comply with the International Maritime Labour Convention (“MLC”) regarding seagoing staff, but, given the uncertainty around interpretation of the MLC
and the local legislation that enacts it in various countries, there are risks associated with compliance. Noncompliance, or alleged noncompliance, with the MLC may lead to arrests and
penalties in the ports of ratifying states, which could have material adverse effects on our results of operations and reputation.
Compliance with international safety regulations and other vessel requirements verified by classification societies may be costly. Noncompliance with such regulations and
requirements could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The operation of our Combined Fleet is affected by the International Safety Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention (the “ISM Code”),
which has been adopted by the IMO and which is mandatory for most vessels under chapter IX of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea of 1974 (as amended,
“SOLAS”). The ISM Code provides an international standard for the safe management and operations of ships at sea and requires the party with operational control of a vessel to
develop and maintain an extensive “safety management system” that includes, among other things, the adoption of a safety and environmental protection policy.
The hull and machinery of every commercial vessel must be classed by a classification society authorised by the vessel’s flag state. The classification society certifies that a vessel
is safe and seaworthy in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the flag state and SOLAS. Failure to comply with the ISM Code, including if any vessel does not
maintain its class and/or fails any survey, depending on the nature and severity of the noncompliance, may result in the vessel facing restrictions in trading or being off-hire, may subject
us to increased liability or invalidate or decrease insurance coverage for the vessel and may result in a denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports. Any such events could
negatively affect our business, financial condition, and results of operation. See “Item 4. Information on the Company – B. Business Overview – Classification Societies” for more
information on our Hafnia Vessels’ and JV Vessels’ compliance with the ISM Code and classification society requirements.
Our operations need to comply with the ISM Code, the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (the “ISPS Code”) and national security regulation such as the U.S.
Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002. Furthermore, we are required by various governmental and quasi-governmental agencies to obtain certain permits, licenses, certificates,
and financial assurances with respect to our operations. Port authorities or other authorities may carry out security and customs inspections affecting vessels in our Combined Fleet
which could result in the seizure of cargo or vessels, delays, or fines.

If the vessels in our Combined Fleet are determined to be noncompliant with security or customs regulation or other applicable regulation or we fail to obtain such permits,
licenses, certificates and financial assurances as required by relevant authorities, we may be prohibited from trading in certain ports and our business, future performance, results of
operations, cash flows and financial position may be adversely affected. Changes to applicable security, customs and other regulation and changes to inspection procedures could
impose additional financial and legal obligations on us or our customers and may, in certain cases, render the shipment of certain types of cargo uneconomical or impractical. Any such
changes or developments may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and available cash.
Conventions, laws, and regulations are continually reviewed and often revised and we cannot predict the ultimate cost of complying with such conventions, laws and regulations or
the impact thereof on the resale prices or useful lives of our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels. Additional conventions, laws, and regulations, including by the IMO, may be adopted which
could limit our ability to do business or increase the cost of our doing business and which may materially adversely affect our operations. We cannot predict what additional regulations,
if any, may be introduced and passed by the IMO or other relevant regulatory bodies and what effect, if any, such regulations might have on our business and our operations.
See “Item 4. Information on the Company – B. Business Overview – Environmental and Other Regulations in the Shipping Industry” for a discussion of the environmental and
other regulations applicable to us.
Risks Related to Our Business
Operation and management of a chemical and product tanker fleet involves a high degree of risk.
The operation of ocean-going vessels carries inherent risks. The vessels in our Combined Fleet and their cargoes will be at risk of being damaged or lost because of events such as
marine disasters, bad weather, and other acts of God, business interruptions caused by mechanical failures, grounding, fire, explosions and collisions, human error, war, terrorism, piracy
and other circumstances or events. Changing economic, regulatory and political conditions in some countries, including political and military conflicts, have from time to time resulted in
attacks on vessels, mining of waterways, piracy, terrorism, labour strikes and boycotts. For example, the war between Russia and Ukraine resulted in missile attacks on commercial
vessels in the Black Sea and the conflict between Israel and Hamas resulted in Houthi forces attacking vessels in the Red Sea. See “— Risks Related to Our Industry – Disruptions to
shipping in the Red Sea in connection with the conflict between Israel and Hamas could have a negative effect on our operations, business, cash flows, financial condition, and
results of operation” above for more information on the disruptions to shipping in the Red Sea. These hazards may result in death or injury to persons, loss of revenues or property,
payment of ransoms, environmental damage, higher insurance rates, damage to our customer relationships, market disruptions, and interference with shipping routes (such as delay or
rerouting), any of which may reduce our revenue or increase our expenses and also subject us to litigation. In addition, the operation of tankers has unique operational risks associated
with the transportation of chemical and petroleum products. A spill of such products may cause significant environmental damage, and the associated costs could exceed the insurance
coverage available to us. Compared to other types of vessels, tankers are exposed to a higher risk of damage and loss by fire, whether ignited by a terrorist attack, collision, or other
cause, due to the high flammability and high volume of the oil transported in tankers.
In recent years, particularly following the implementation of wide-ranging sanctions on the shipping industry, including sanctions on Russia and on the transportation of certain
Russian products introduced as a result of the war between Russia and Ukraine, the so-called ‘dark fleet’—comprising vessels that operate outside maritime regulations—has grown
significantly. Vessels in the ‘dark fleet’ may be sanctioned or may be operating in breach of applicable sanctions, may be operated in violation of safety and environmental regulations
and standards, may be old and poorly maintained, may have inadequate or no insurance, and may have unclear ownership. Because many of these vessels are poorly maintained and
operated, the likelihood of incidents and accidents increases, including collisions and other accidents that could involve vessels operating lawfully. In some cases, there is a risk that
vessels in the dark fleet turn off their AIS transponders or navigation lights, making it difficult or impossible for others to detect their location. This risk is especially significant if a
vessel in the dark fleet is uninsured, as there may be no cover for damage caused by an incident or accident. An incident or accident involving a dark fleet vessel that affects a vessel in
our Combined Fleet could result in death or injury to persons, damage to the vessels, and environmental harm, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations, financial condition, and cash flow.
We are dependent on the operational performance of the vessels in our Hafnia Fleet and may experience operational problems that result in off-hire days for the vessels and,
ultimately, reduced revenue and increased operational and maintenance costs.
We operate our Hafnia Fleet by employing the vessels to our customers. The risks related to the operation of our Hafnia Fleet differ to a certain extent depending on whether we are
the registered owner of a vessel or whether we charter in a vessel. As the registered owner of a vessel or the bareboat charterer of a vessel, we assume responsibility for all functions
related to the vessel. If we enter into a voyage charter with a customer for such owned or bareboat chartered vessels, we will be responsible for all voyage expenses and brokerage. If we
time charter in a vessel, we will be responsible for certain functions related to the vessel while other functions will remain the responsibility of the owner. We may in circumstances where
we charter in a vessel (whether on a bareboat charter or on a time charter) not be able to exercise full control of the availability over the chartered-in vessel, for example, due to default by
the third party from whom the vessel has been chartered-in. In a long-term time charter or bareboat charter arrangement, we are committed throughout the charter period and will not have
the liberty to cancel the charter should the market become unfavourable and we may risk a negative impact on reputation, revenue, results of operations and results. Conversely, if we
charter out a vessel, we warrant certain specifications, conditions and performance of the vessels assigned. Should we not be able to meet our obligations, charterers may be entitled to
withhold the payment of charter hire, resulting in loss of income and potential contractual liability. Such actions by customers could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, and results of operations.

The vessels in our Commercial Fleet may be obligated to deviate from their tasks and conduct salvage operations. Such salvage operation may prove costly in terms of time and
resources spent and can thus prove a substantial cost for the commercial vessel and may pose risks to the safety of the crew, vessel, and cargo. If we are not able to mitigate this
potential exposure and depending on the number of such salvage operations which must be carried out in the future, this could have a material adverse effect on our future performance,
results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
There is a risk that third parties may engage in criminal activities involving our vessels, for example by attempting to smuggle drugs or other contraband on the vessel, with or
without the knowledge of our crew. If such contraband is discovered or if our vessels are otherwise affected by criminal activity, we could face reputational damage and regulatory or
governmental claims, which may materially affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations.
We have in the past acquired and may in the future continue to acquire second-hand vessels. While we inspect previously owned or second-hand vessels prior to purchase, this
does not provide us with the same knowledge about their condition that we would have had if these vessels had been built for and operated exclusively by us and a second-hand vessel
may have conditions or defects that we were not aware of. Additionally, we will generally not receive the benefit of warranties from the shipyard for the second-hand vessels that we
acquire.
All chemical and product tanker companies will be exposed to the above risks. However, we own and operate a considerable fleet in both absolute and relative terms. The sizable
fleet allows us to benefit from long-term planning and optimisation of operational performance, risk management, drydocking and regulatory changes. Regardless, the risks presented
could materially and adversely affect our result of operations and business.
International, regional, and local competition rules and regulations for the shipping industry may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Part of our strategy has been to grow our Hafnia Fleet through acquisitions and newbuilds. Our Combined Fleet constituted approximately 4.3% of the global chemical and product
tanker fleet as at December 31, 2024 when compared with the worldwide total clean product tanker fleet deadweight tonnage as at April 1, 2025 as further detailed in “Item 4. Information
on the Company – B. Business Overview – Industry”. Any expansion must comply with anti-trust and competition rules, potentially requiring filing for clearances and approvals that may
not be available, may be delayed, or may result in a transaction being prohibited or permitted with conditions that may be unacceptable. There can be no assurance that any such
transactions will be approved or consummated which may hinder our growth opportunities or result in penalties from regulatory authorities.
We may in the future experience difficulties in employing and retaining the personnel required to maintain and develop our business and a shortage of relevantly skilled personnel
in the future may have material adverse consequences for our operations, business, and financial condition.
We require highly skilled personnel on-shore and off-shore to operate our business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain such employees on
reasonable terms in the future and our ability to attract and retain employees and management in the future may be impacted by circumstances beyond our control.
Our future development and prospects depend to a large degree on the experience, performance, and continued service of our senior management team members and key
employees. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to retain the services of the current directors, senior management team members and key employees or that we will in the future be
able to identify and employ suitable replacements. The loss of services of any of our directors, senior management team members or key employees and/or the failure to identify and
employ suitable replacements in the future may have a material adverse effect on our business, our ability to grow our business, our performance and our financial condition.
We may additionally experience difficulties in employing technically skilled officers. Our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels require technically skilled officers with specialised training in
operating and crewing chemical and product tankers. Certain of our customers have officers’ requirement matrices with pre-determined standards for vessel operators, including
requirements for service time and shipping sector experience. The demand for technically skilled officers has increased, leading to a shortage of such personnel. A continuing or
worsening deficit in the supply of technically skilled officers could impair our ability to operate and further increase the cost of crewing vessels in our Hafnia Fleet. Additionally, changes
to international and national rules of employment may have a material impact on our flexibility in manning our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels. Any such developments impacting our
ability to attract and retain qualified employees and management on reasonable terms in the future may adversely affect our future performance, results of operations, cashflows and
financial position.

We may have difficulty managing our growth, if any, properly.
We have and may continue to grow by expanding our operations and adding to our Hafnia Fleet. Any future growth will depend upon a number of factors, some of which may not
be within our control, including our ability to effectively identify, purchase, finance, develop and integrate any vessels or businesses. The expansion of our business, if any, may impose
significant additional responsibilities on our management and employees. The number of employees that perform services for us and our current operating and financial systems may not
be adequate if we expand our business, and we may not be able to effectively hire more employees or adequately improve those systems. Finally, acquisitions may require additional
equity issuances or debt issuances (with amortisation payments), or entry into other financing arrangements, which could, among other things, reduce our available cash. If any such
events occur, our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected and the amount of cash available for distribution as dividends to our
shareholders may be reduced. We cannot give any assurance that we will be successful in executing any growth plans or that we will not incur significant expenses and losses in
connection with our future growth.
An increase in operating expenses and voyage expenses could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.
Vessel operating expenses include expenses such as crewing, provisions, deck and engine stores, insurance, certain security measures, and maintenance and repairs. Voyage
expenses include expenses such as fuel (bunkers) and port and canal charges. Additionally, if vessels suffer damage, they may need to be repaired at a drydocking facility. The costs of
drydocking repairs are unpredictable and can be substantial. The size of these expenses depends on a variety of factors, including many which are beyond our control and subject to
market developments, and some, primarily relating to insurance, crewing, and enhanced security measures, have been increasing on a relative basis and may increase further in the
future. An increase in vessel operating expenses and/or voyage expenses may have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial
position.
Under bareboat charter parties, the charterer is responsible for voyage expenses and vessel operating expenses. Under time charter parties, the charterer is responsible for voyage
expenses and the owner is responsible for the vessel operating expenses. As at December 31, 2024, we had 24 Hafnia Vessels operating under bareboat charter-in agreements (all entered
into in the course of sale and lease back financing arrangements) and the remaining Hafnia Vessels are owned directly, indirectly or through one of our joint ventures. Further, as at
December 31, 2024, we had 22 Hafnia Vessels, JV Vessels (excluding newbuilds) and TC Vessels on long-term time charter-out agreements (with initial terms of six months or greater).
When our Hafnia Vessels are employed in one of the Pools, the Pool is responsible for voyage expenses, and we are responsible for vessel operating expenses. As at December 31, 2024,
87 out of 103 Hafnia Vessels were employed through the Pools or on spot charters outside the Pools. When our Hafnia Vessels operate directly in the spot market on voyage charters, we
are responsible for both voyage expenses and vessel operating expenses.
Many of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels are employed in the spot market or in spot market-oriented pools, and therefore fuel (bunkers) is typically the largest expense affecting
our operations. Changes in the price of fuel may adversely affect our profitability and our results of operations. The cost of fuel, including the fuel efficiency or capability to use lower
priced fuel, can also be an important factor considered by charterers in negotiating charter rates. While we believe that we can transfer increased costs to the customer and will
experience a competitive advantage as a result of increased fuel prices due to the greater fuel efficiency of our Hafnia Fleet compared to the average global fleet, changes in the price of
fuel may adversely affect our profitability. The price and supply of fuel is unpredictable and fluctuates based on events outside our control, including geopolitical developments, such
as, but not limited to, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict between Israel and Hamas, actions by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, and
other oil and gas producers, war and unrest in oil-producing countries and regions, regional production patterns and environmental concerns.

In recent years, our operating expenses and voyage expenses have also been influenced by rising inflation in the United States and globally due to, among other things, global
supply chain issues, the ongoing war and conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and between Israel and Hamas, rising energy prices, and strong consumer demands. An inflationary
environment can increase our expenses, including the cost of labour, vessel operating expenses and voyage expenses, which may have a material adverse impact on our financial results.
Inflation has had an impact on our operating results and continued prolonged periods of inflationary pressure could have a negative macroeconomic effect on the demand for tankers
worldwide, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, continued inflationary pressure could negatively affect our future access
to financing and could have a negative effect on the securities markets generally which may, in turn, have a material adverse effect on the market price of our ordinary shares.
Breakdowns in our information technology, including as a result of cyberattacks, disruptions, failures, or security breaches may negatively impact our business, including our
ability to service customers, and may have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
Our ability to operate our business and service our customers is dependent on the continued operation of our information technology, (“IT”), systems, including our IT systems
that relate to, among other things, the location, operation, maintenance and employment of the vessels in our Combined Fleet. We use our IT systems to communicate with and monitor
the vessels in our Combined Fleet and the vessels in our Combined Fleet rely on our IT systems for their operations. Our IT systems may be compromised by a malicious third party,
man-made or natural events, or the intentional or inadvertent actions or inactions by our employees or third-party service providers. If our IT systems experience a breakdown, including
as a result of cyberattacks, disruptions, failures, or security breaches, our business information may be lost, destroyed, disclosed, misappropriated, altered or accessed without consent,
and our IT systems, or those of our service providers, may be disrupted. Disruptions may be caused by natural disasters, catastrophic events, deliberate attacks, or other events outside
our control, which are difficult or impossible to prevent or prepare for. Any of the foregoing events or occurrences could have material adverse effect on our business.
Cybercrime attacks could cause disclosure and destruction of business databases, exposure to payment fraud, and could expose us to extortion by making business data
temporarily unreadable or subject to threats of publicising, selling or another way of exploiting the data. As cyberattacks become increasingly sophisticated, and as tools and resources
become more readily available to malicious third parties, there can be no guarantee that our actions, security measures and controls can provide absolute security against compromise
though they were designed to prevent, detect or respond to intrusion, to limit access to data, to prevent destruction or alteration of data or to limit the negative impact from such attacks.
Any breakdown in our IT systems, including breaches or other compromises of information security and data security, whether or not involving a cyberattack, and/or disruptions of
our IT systems could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations and may result in decreased performance, downtime, data loss, loss of funds, loss of
suppliers or customers and may lead to lost revenues resulting from a loss in competitive advantage due to the unauthorised disclosure, alteration, destruction or use of proprietary
information, including intellectual property, the failure to retain or attract customers, the disruption of critical business processes or information technology systems and the diversion of
management’s attention and resources. In addition, such breakdown could result in significant remediation costs, including repairing system damage, engaging third-party experts,
deploying additional personnel, training employees and compensation or incentives offered to third parties whose data has been compromised. We may also be subject to legal claims or
legal proceedings, including regulatory investigations and actions, and the attendant legal fees as well as potential settlements, judgments and fines.
Moreover, cyberattacks against the Ukrainian government and other countries in the region have been reported in connection with the recent war between Russia and Ukraine. To
the extent such attacks have collateral effects on global critical infrastructure or financial institutions, such developments could adversely affect our business, operating results and
financial condition. At this time, it is difficult to assess the likelihood of such threat and any potential impact on our business.
Even without actual breaches of information security, protection against increasingly sophisticated and prevalent cyberattacks may result in significant future prevention,
detection, response and management costs, or other costs, including the deployment of additional cybersecurity technologies, engaging third-party experts, deploying additional
personnel and training employees. Further, as cyberthreats are continually evolving, our controls and procedures may become inadequate, and we may be required to devote additional
resources to modify or enhance our systems in the future. Such expenses could have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial
position. For information on our cybersecurity policies, please see “Item 16K. Cybersecurity”.

Recent action by the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee and U.S. agencies indicate that cybersecurity regulations for the maritime industry are likely to be further developed in the
near future in an attempt to combat cybersecurity threats. By IMO resolution, administrations have been encouraged to ensure that cyber-risk management systems are incorporated by
ship-owners and managers by their first annual Document of Compliance audit after January 1, 2021. In February 2021, the U.S. Coast Guard published guidance on addressing cyber
risks in a vessel’s safety management system. This might cause companies to cultivate additional procedures for monitoring cybersecurity, which could require additional expenses
and/or capital expenditures. Additionally, in 2023 the European Union adopted their second Network and Information Security (NIS2) directive. This directive may have an impact on our
business and may require us to incur additional expenses and take measures in order to enhance our cybersecurity. If we are not in compliance with applicable rules, we may be subject
to penalties for noncompliance. As at the date of this Annual Report, there has been no monetary impact from complying with NIS2.
The market values of our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels may fluctuate substantially potentially leading to impairment charges, losses upon the sale of a vessel or other material
adverse effects on our business, financing agreements, or financial condition.
We have a significant chemical and product tanker fleet. The value of these chemical and product tankers may fluctuate due to a number of different factors including, but not
limited to, the prevailing level of charter rates and freight rates, general economic and market conditions affecting the international shipping industry and the oil and energy markets,
types, sizes, condition, and ages of vessels, supply and demand for vessels, availability of or developments in other modes of transportation, competition from other owners and
operators of chemical and product tankers, cost of newbuilds, applicable governmental or other regulations and technological advances. In addition, as vessels grow older, they
generally decline in value. The market values of vessels have generally experienced high volatility. In the past decade, market values were at relatively low levels through 2021, then
significantly improved in 2022 and 2023 before decreasing again in the second half of 2024. It is uncertain and unpredictable how the above-mentioned factors will impact the value of our
Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels both in the short term and in the long term. Any fluctuations in vessel values may result in us having to record impairment charges or cause us to be
unable to sell vessels at a reasonable value, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, if vessel
values are elevated at a time when we wish to acquire additional vessels, the cost of acquisition may increase and this could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash
flow and financial condition.
We evaluate the carrying amounts of our Hafnia Vessels to determine if events have occurred that would require an impairment of their carrying amounts. In accordance with IFRS,
we evaluate the recoverable amount as the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount of the vessel/CGU (cash
generating unit), the vessel is deemed impaired. The carrying values of our Hafnia Vessels may not represent their fair market value at any point in time because the new market prices of
second-hand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in charter rates and the cost of newbuilds. We did not record an impairment charge for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and
2022. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – B. Liquidity and Capital Resources – Our Fleet – Illustrative comparison of excess of carrying amounts over
estimated charter-free market value of certain Hafnia Vessels” for information on the carrying value of our vessels. We recorded an aggregate gain of $28.52 million, $56.09 million, and
$25.48 million as a result of the disposal of assets for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 respectively. See Notes 2 and 9 of our Consolidated Financial Statements
included in Item 17 of this Annual Report. We cannot assure you that we will not recognise impairment losses in future years.
Additionally, if the market values of our Hafnia Vessels decline, it could restrict the amount of funds we can borrow or we may not comply with certain financial covenants contained
in our current or future credit facilities. If we fail to comply with financial covenants in credit facilities and we cannot remedy the breach, we may be required to prepay debt and we may
be in default of such agreements, which could entitle our lenders could accelerate our debt and foreclose on our Hafnia Vessels. In such circumstances, we may not be able to refinance
our debt, obtain additional financing or make distributions to our shareholders and our subsidiaries may not be able to make distributions to us.
Furthermore, a drop in the fair market value of our Hafnia Vessels has an impact on how much we will pay out under our dividend policy. See “Item 8. Financial Information – A.
Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information – Dividend Policy” for additional information on our dividend policy.

From time to time, we make investments in companies and/or projects in the shipping industry and companies and/or projects not in the shipping industry. We cannot assure you
that we will make a return on these investments and the underlying projects may be delayed or may fail entirely.
We have in the past and may in the future make investments in companies within the shipping industry or companies not in the shipping industry. Generally, we will make
investments in companies we think could benefit or develop our core business in the short, medium and/or long term. There can be no assurances that we will make a return on such
investments. Many of the investments we have made are in companies with an underlying project, for example, the development of a product, service and/or production facility. These
underlying projects may be delayed or may fail entirely.
Increased levels of competition in the chemical and product tanker industry could adversely affect our business.
Competition for the transportation of chemical and petroleum products depends on the price, location, size, age, condition and acceptability of the vessel and its operators to the
customer. Our industry relationships are of great importance to our business, and we have close relations with the participants in the Pools and with our customers of which the majority
are international oil companies and national oil companies. We expend significant resources on maintaining and developing such relations. We experience substantial competition for
providing transportation services from several companies (both shipowners and operators) and expect further competition in the future. Our existing and potential competitors may have
or acquire significantly greater financial resources and larger owned and/or operated fleets and may therefore be able to offer a more competitive service and better charter rates than us.
Accordingly, new competition in the industry could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
Our market share may decrease in the future. We may not be able to compete profitably as we expand our business into new geographic regions or provide new services. New
markets may require different skills, knowledge or strategies than we use in our current markets, and the competitors in those new markets may have greater financial strength and capital
resources than us.
We will be required to make substantial additional capital expenditures in order to maintain the quality and operating capacity of our Hafnia Vessels, to acquire new vessels to
replace our existing vessels before or at the end of their useful lives and in the event that we should decide to expand the number of vessels in our Hafnia Fleet. If we do not set
aside funds or are unable to borrow or raise funds in the future or if we are unable to correctly time our capital expenditures, it may adversely affect our revenue, business, results
of operations, financial condition and available cash.
Our Hafnia Vessels require substantial capital expenditures to maintain and modernise quality and operating conditions over the long term. The industry standard maintenance
capital expenditures include expenses associated with drydocking a vessel or modifying an existing vessel (if such expenditures are incurred to maintain or increase the operating
capacity of the vessels). A vessel must be maintained throughout its life and must be drydocked no less than every five years and under certain circumstances more often and may
additionally be required to be drydocked for unexpected repairs. The cost of drydocking a vessel depends on several factors, including the size, type, and condition of the vessel and the
location of the drydocking. We estimate the cost to drydock a vessel to be between $1 million and $3 million, excluding costs relating to modernisation of the vessel. The cost of repairs
is unpredictable, may be substantial and may not be covered fully by insurance. The damage to or total loss of any of the Vessels in our Hafnia Fleet could harm our reputation as a safe
and reliable vessel owner and operator and damage to vessels in our Hafnia Fleet may negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and available cash. While
vessels are undergoing maintenance, modernisation or repairs, and if our Hafnia Vessels or JV Vessels have to travel to a drydocking facility that is not conveniently located to the
vessels’ positions, we will not earn revenue from these vessels. Any unexpected drydocks would negatively affect our vessel utilisation and increase our operating costs. The loss of
earnings while these vessels are forced to wait for space or to travel to more distant drydocking facilities may adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Generally, the cost of maintaining a vessel in good operating condition increases with the age of the vessel. We cannot assure you that, as our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels age,
market conditions will justify the necessary capital expenditures or enable us to operate our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels profitably during the remainder of their useful lives. As our
Hafnia Fleet is younger than the global average, we are less exposed to such additional maintenance and operational costs in the short term.

We may furthermore be required to perform extraordinary maintenance or modernisations to ensure our Hafnia Vessels’ and JV Vessels’ compliance with regulatory requirements. In
recent years we have seen an escalating number of measures that have required extraordinary capital expenditures and increased operating costs, such as recent requirements relating to
ballast water treatment systems. As a result, regulations and standards and ensuing increased capital expenditures and operating costs could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and ability to pay dividends.
Our business strategy is based in part upon the expansion of our Hafnia Fleet through the acquisition of additional vessels, either through purchasing vessels in the second-hand
market or by contracting newbuilds. For us to be able to replace the vessels in our Hafnia Fleet upon the expiration of their remaining useful lives, we will have to make significant
additional capital expenditures. Additionally, we may seek to strategically divest vessels to renew our Hafnia Fleet or to otherwise support our business strategy and our business. The
market prices of newbuilds and second-hand vessels fluctuate due to several factors, including factors outside of our control. If we are unable to identify the optimal timing of such
investments, divestments or contracting of newbuilds in relation to the shipping value cycle, it could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future
performance. Additionally, if we are unable to fulfil our obligations under any memorandum of agreement or shipbuilding contracts, the sellers of such vessels may be permitted to
terminate such contracts, we may forfeit pre-payments and may be exposed to lawsuits for, among other things, any outstanding balances.
If we do not generate or reserve enough cash from operations to pay for our capital expenditures, such as for the maintenance and modernisation of vessels, replacement of vessels at
the end of their useful lives and acquisition of vessels in the event we decide to expand our Hafnia Fleet, we may need to incur additional indebtedness or enter into alternative financing
arrangements, which may be on terms that are unfavourable to us. Any funds set aside for vessel maintenance, modernisation, repairs and replacement will reduce available cash. If we
are unable to fund our capital expenditures from operations or to secure financing, it may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, competitive position, future
performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
We are subject to certain risks with respect to our counterparties on contracts, and failure of such counterparties to meet their obligations could cause us to suffer losses or
negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
We have entered into, and may enter into in the future, contracts material to our operation and business, including, without limitation, charter parties and pooling agreements
relating to the vessels in our Combined Fleet, newbuild contracts, financing agreements, technical management agreements, joint venture agreements, and other agreements. Such
agreements expose us to counterparty risks.
The ability and willingness of each of our counterparties to perform its obligations under its contracts with us will depend on factors beyond our control and may include, among
other things, general economic or political conditions, the condition of the maritime industry, and the financial condition of the counterparty. Although we assess the creditworthiness of
our counterparties, prolonged difficult industry conditions could affect a counterparty’s liquidity, increasing our exposure to credit risks and bad debts. Should a counterparty fail to
honour its obligations or attempt to renegotiate our agreements, we could sustain significant losses which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations,
cash flows and ability to pay dividends. Although we may have rights against our counterparties if they default on their obligations to us, we will receive the benefit of that recourse
only to the extent that we can recover funds from them.
With respect to our joint venture arrangements and our investment in start-up companies and other companies in which we do not have a controlling interest, we are dependent on
our joint venture partners’ and co-investors’ ability and willingness to comply with shareholder agreements and other agreements regarding governance of such companies. Should a
counterparty fail to honour its obligations or have plans for any such company that does not align with our plans, it may negatively affect our business, financial condition, reputation,
results of operations, and cash flows.
With respect to our charter arrangements, in depressed market conditions our charterers may no longer need a vessel that is then under charter or may obtain a comparable vessel at
lower rates. As a result, charterers may seek to renegotiate the terms of their existing charter agreements or avoid their obligations under those agreements or charterers may not be able
to pay us in accordance with our agreement. Furthermore, it is possible that charterers may be affected by geopolitical events and/or consequences hereof such as sanctions. If
charterers fail to meet their obligations to us or attempt to renegotiate our agreements, securing alternative employment for the vessel may be difficult or impossible, and any substitute
employment secured may be at lower rates. As a result, we could sustain significant losses adversely affecting our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, as
well as our ability to pay dividends.

In our operation as pool manager of third-party vessels, we are exposed to the risk of claims from customers or other parties in respect of Pool Vessels. These risks are mitigated by a
number of measures, including but not limited to, certain indemnities in our pool agreements. Should our counterparties under the pool agreements fail to honour their obligations or
become insolvent, we may be liable for the claims relating to the Pool Vessels. Such claims could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations,
and cash flows.
As at December 31, 2024, external technical managers were responsible for 58 of our 115 Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels. Technical managers are generally responsible for crewing,
maintenance and repair services and their ability to render the agreed services may be dependent in part on their financial strength. We may have little advance warning of financial or
other problems affecting our external technical managers. If these managers cannot provide the agreed services, we may face operating delays and our business, financial condition, cash
flows and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We are dependent upon our relationships with local shipping agents as well as port and terminal operators and other third parties operating in the ports where our customers ship
and unload their products. We believe that these relationships will remain critical to our success in the future. If we lose or fail to maintain these relationships and if we cannot enter into
new relationships on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, we may lose customers or experience delays or slowdowns which could result in a loss of revenue or inability to execute
our contracts in a timely manner and could materially and negatively affect our business and our operations, including our ability to retain and service our customers, financial condition,
cash flows and results of operations.
We and our joint ventures have in the past and may in the future order newbuilds. As at the date of this Annual Report, one of our joint ventures has three vessels on order with a
Chinese shipyard. We are exposed to the risk of failures, extra cost, delays, technical, quality or engineering problems and other counterparty risks. Challenges affecting the shipyards
from which we have ordered newbuilds may affect the timely delivery of newbuilds. Generally, we will obtain refund guarantees as security for pre-delivery instalments paid to the
shipyard, but we cannot be sure that these, or any other measures we may take, will fully mitigate the risks relating to ordering newbuilds. A failure by a counterparty to meet its
obligations in relation to newbuilds we have ordered or may order in the future may result in delays or cancellations of the delivery of the newbuilds, renegotiation of terms, delayed
renewal of our Hafnia Fleet and consequent deterioration of our competitive position, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations,
cash flows and financial position.
Insurance may be difficult to obtain, and if obtained, may not be adequate to cover our losses that may result from our operations due to the inherent operational risks of the
tanker industry.
Inherent in the operation of any ocean-going vessel is a potential risk of major losses and liabilities, including death or injury to persons, property damage, loss of property, and
business interruptions due to political unrest, hostilities, labour strikes and boycotts. The transportation of chemical and petroleum products is subject to the risk of pollution and
environmental damage. Various casualties, accidents and other incidents, including an oil spill or emission of other environmentally hazardous agents from a vessel, may occur during the
operation of the vessels in our Hafnia Fleet and could result in death or injury to persons, loss of property, environmental damage, delays in delivery of cargo, loss of revenue from
termination of contracts or unavailability of vessels, fines or penalties, higher insurance rates, litigation and damage to our reputation and customer relationships. Any such events
could result in significant financial losses and liabilities for us.
We carry insurance to protect against the majority of the accident-related risks involved in our business and operations, including ‘hull and machinery’ (“H&M”) insurance and
‘protection and indemnity’ (“P&I”) insurance. However, incidents may occur where we are not adequately insured, which could have a material adverse effect on us. Additionally, our
insurers may refuse to pay claims or our insurance may be voidable if we take, or fail to take, actions, such as failing to maintain vessel relevant certification with maritime regulatory
organisations. Furthermore, insurance cost may increase due to unforeseen incidents or events beyond our control, including changes in regulation, adverse market conditions, and
increased geopolitical tensions may affect the cost of insurance and the availability of insurance coverage on commercially acceptable terms or at all, or may lead to insurers offering
reduced or restricted coverage for certain losses. Any significant uninsured or under-insured loss or liability could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations, cash
flows, financial condition, and our available cash.

Because we obtain some of our insurance through protection and indemnity clubs (P&I Clubs), we may be subject to increased premium payments, or calls, in amounts based
on our claim records, the claim records of our managers and other members of the P&I Clubs through which we receive insurance coverage for tortious liability, including pollution-
related liability. In addition, our P&I Clubs may not have enough resources to cover claims against them or to maintain its solvency threshold / liquidity ratio. Our payment of these calls
could result in significant expense for us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, available cash and ability to
pay dividends.
Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the United Kingdom Bribery Act 2010, the Prevention of Corruption Act 1960 of Singapore or other applicable
anti-bribery regulations, anti-corruption regulations, anti-money laundering regulations or any other laws affecting our operations could result in fines, criminal penalties or
contract terminations and could have an adverse effect on our business, reputation, and financial condition.
We transport oil products and chemicals across a wide variety of national jurisdictions. This entails a risk of business interruptions that may result from political circumstances or
inadequacies in the legal systems and law enforcement mechanisms in certain countries in which we operate. Certain countries and international bodies also impose laws and regulations
with extra-territorial application (such as sanctions and bribery and corruption legislation), which may further increase the risk of business interruptions and reputational damage
resulting from our cross-border activities. In a worst-case scenario, our ability to trade with certain countries, including entities and individuals linked to such countries, may be severely
restricted. Although we monitor our own operations and the global political situation closely and have adopted strict anti-bribery and anti-corruption policies as well as procedures to
ensure diligence in counterparty onboarding, including observance of relevant anti-money laundering and anti-tax evasion laws and regulations, the political circumstances or
inadequacies of the legal systems and law enforcement mechanisms in certain countries in which we operate may have a material negative impact on our reputation, revenue, cash flows
and financial condition.
Our operations are subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, including the United Kingdom Bribery Act 2010 (“U.K. Bribery Act”), the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
(“FCPA”), as amended, and the Prevention of Corruption Act 1960 of Singapore (“PCA”). We may also be subject to other anti-corruption and anti-bribery regulations in countries where
we do business and we need to comply with such regulations under contractual arrangements, particularly financing agreements. We as well as our customers, suppliers and commercial
partners operate in jurisdictions where there is a risk of potential violations of anti-corruption and anti-bribery regulations and we participate in collaborations and relationships with
third parties whose actions could potentially subject us to liability under the U.K. Bribery Act, FCPA, PCA, or other anti-corruption and anti-bribery regulation.
In addition to anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and regulations, we are also subject to other laws and regulations governing our international operations, including, but not
limited to, regulations administered by the governments of the United Kingdom and the United States and authorities in the European Union, such as applicable anti-money laundering
and anti-tax evasion laws and regulations, export controls, economic sanctions, customs requirements, anti-boycott requirements, and currency exchange regulations (collectively,
“Trade Control Laws”). We cannot predict the nature, scope, or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our operations may be subject or the manner in which existing anti-
corruption and anti-bribery laws and regulations and other Trade Control Laws may be administered or interpreted.
While we maintain policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with applicable anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and regulations and any other Trade
Control Laws, such as enhanced corporate due diligence and KYC procedures for counterparty onboarding, recurrent screening and including relevant provisions in relevant contracts,
there can be no assurance that we will be completely effective in ensuring our compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, particularly as the scope of certain anti-
corruption, anti-bribery and other Trade Control Laws may be unclear and may be subject to changing interpretations.
We may be required to document our compliance with applicable anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and regulations and other Trade Control Laws in the future, including in
connection with future transactions or financing arrangements, if any. Failures or delays in documenting our compliance, even if we are in compliance, could adversely affect our
business, results of operations, financial condition, future performance, access to financing, liquidity and reputation.

If we fail to comply with anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and regulations and other Trade Control Laws, we may become subject to civil or criminal penalties, disgorgement and
other sanctions, remedial measures, and legal expenses, and we may be in breach of material agreements, including financing agreements. Any failure to comply with these laws and
regulations, or any actual or alleged violations, or any investigations of potential violations, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, future
performance, access to financing, liquidity and reputation. Furthermore, detecting, investigating, and resolving actual or alleged violations is expensive and can consume significant time
and attention of our senior management.
If we fail to comply with data privacy laws, we could be exposed to financial and reputational risk and the risk of litigation or fines.
We are subject to data protection and privacy regulation in certain countries in which we operate. The application of such regulation may be uncertain and it is possible that these
regulations may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our data privacy practices. In Singapore, the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 of Singapore (“PDPA”)
comprises requirements governing the collection, use, disclosure and care of personal data in Singapore and prescribes data protection obligations, including obligations relating to
transfer of personal data and notification of data breaches. Non-compliance with the PDPA may lead to fines of up to the higher of SGD 1 million or 10% of annual turnover in Singapore.
In the EU, the General Data Privacy Regulation (“GDPR”) governs data collection, use and sharing of data and related consumer privacy rights. The GDPR includes significant penalties
for noncompliance, including fines up to the higher of EUR 20 million and/or 4% of global annual revenue.
Within the last five years, we have experienced one data breach which was reported to the relevant authorities. We have not experienced any consequences as a result of the
breach. We may in the future experience data breaches and such data breaches or other breaches of personal data and privacy regulation could have an adverse impact on our
operations, business, reputation and financial condition.
Complying with various, potentially disparate, laws may be difficult and could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner
adverse to our business. Furthermore, any changes in applicable data privacy regulations may lead to us having to incur additional costs which could have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We are to a certain extent dependent on the Pools and termination or a withdrawal of a majority of the pool participants may adversely affect our business.
Many of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels participate in the Pools, which are described in “Item 4. Information on the Company – B. Business Overview – The Pools.”
Participation in the Pools enhances the financial performance of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels as a result of the higher vessel utilisation. Under the respective pool agreements, the
earnings allocated to vessels in a pool are aggregated and divided based on a weighted scale that recognises each vessel’s earnings capacity. The termination of a Pool or the withdrawal
of a majority of the participants could adversely affect our ability to commercially market our Combined Fleet and result in a material loss of revenue due to a decline in pool-management
fees and commissions earned.

Risks Related to Our Company, Organisation, and Structure
We depend on our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us.
We are a holding company and our subsidiaries (wholly-owned or partially-owned directly or indirectly by us) and joint venture companies conduct our operations and hold our
operating assets. Our ability to satisfy our financial obligations and pay dividends to our shareholders depends on the ability of our subsidiaries to generate profits available for
distribution to us. If our subsidiaries are not able to generate profits or are restricted from distributing funds to us as a result of applicable laws and regulations, restrictive covenants in
financing arrangements or the subsidiaries or joint ventures’ financial condition, we may be unable to pay our creditors or pay dividends to our shareholders. A payment default by or
any of the subsidiaries or joint ventures on any financing arrangement could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.
We derive a significant portion of our revenue from our top five customers, and the loss or default of any such customers could result in a significant loss of revenue and adversely
affect our business.
We have a high customer concentration, where our top five customers represent a significant percentage of our revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2024, revenue from our
top five customers (by group) represented 57% of our total revenue. Two of our customers (by group) each represented 10% or more of our revenues for the year ended December 31,
2024. One individual legal entity represented 10% or more of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024. Consequently, if we lose one of our top five customers or any of them
fails to pay for its services due to the increasing financial pressure on these customers or otherwise, our revenue could be adversely affected. The loss of a significant customer, or a
decline in freight rates under our charter agreements with significant customers or any other difficulties in our relationships with these charterers could affect our revenue and cash flow
and could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Our major shareholder, currently BW Group Limited, may have interests that are different from our interests and the interests of our other shareholders.
BW Group Limited (“BW Group”), a company owned by corporate interests associated with the Sohmen family, is as at the date of this Annual Report a major shareholder holding
approximately 45% of the issued and outstanding shares in Hafnia Limited as further described in “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions – A. Major
Shareholders.” Certain members of our Board of Directors and certain members of our board committees are associated with BW Group, employed by BW Group and/or hold positions
on the board of directors or board committees of other companies in which BW Group has a significant ownership interest.
As long as certain shareholders continue to own a significant percentage of our ordinary shares, they will be able to influence the composition of our Board of Directors and the
approval of actions requiring shareholder approval through their voting power. Accordingly, for such period of time, they will have significant influence with respect to our management,
business plans and policies, including the appointment and removal of our officers. In particular, as long as such shareholders continue to own a significant percentage of our ordinary
shares, they may be able to cause or prevent a change of control of our company or a change in the composition of our Board of Directors and could preclude any unsolicited
acquisition of our company. The concentration of ownership could deprive investors of an opportunity to receive a premium for their ordinary shares as part of a sale of our company
and ultimately might affect the market price of our ordinary shares. BW Group and its affiliates engage in a broad spectrum of activities, including in the shipping industry. In the
ordinary course of their business activities, they may engage in activities where their interest conflict with our interests or those of our other shareholders. For example, they may
compete with us and pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business, and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us. In
addition, they may have an interest in our pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, and other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their investment, even though such
transactions might involve risks to us and our shareholders. Such potential conflicts may delay or limit the opportunities available to us, and it is possible that conflicts may be resolved
in a manner adverse to us or result in agreements that are less favourable to us than terms that would be obtained in arm’s-length negotiations with unaffiliated third parties.

As at the date of this Annual Report, none of our shareholders (individually or as a group) own 50% or more of the voting power for the election of our directors. Therefore, we do
not qualify as a “controlled company” under the NYSE Continued Listing Standards and are not eligible to take advantage of the controlled company exemption to opt out of certain
corporate governance requirements.
We are a Singapore company and the rights of our shareholders may differ from the rights and protections typically offered to shareholders of a U.S. corporation organised in
Delaware.
Following the Redomiciliation, we are a Singapore public company limited by shares. The rights of holders of our shares are governed by Singapore law, including the provisions of
the Companies Act 1967 of Singapore (“Singapore Companies Act”) and by our Constitution. These rights may differ in certain respects from the rights of shareholders in typical U.S.
corporations organised in Delaware. The principal differences are set forth in Exhibit 2.2 “Description of Securities Registered Pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934”.
Although we believe we are familiar with the applicable Singapore laws and regulations due to having subsidiaries incorporated in Singapore and that we sufficiently prepared for
the Redomiciliation prior to its completion, the change in regulatory regime and the actions needed to adapt thereto may require additional commitments of resources, lead to substantial
costs and require attention from senior management. We may not be able to predict or estimate the amount, impact or timing of such additional costs or the impact that our senior
management’s attention to these matters could have on our business.
We have anti-takeover provisions in our Constitution that could discourage an acquisition of us by others, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our shareholders, and may
prevent replacement or removal of the members of our Board of Directors.
The Constitution of Hafnia Limited (our or the “Constitution”) contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our Board of
Directors. These provisions include:
• restrictions, with certain exceptions, on business transactions with “interested shareholders” (as defined in our Constitution) for a period of three years from the date a
shareholder qualifies as an interested shareholder;
• restrictions on the time period in which directors may be nominated;
• an affirmative vote of 75% of our voting shares for certain “business combination” transactions, including certain mergers and amalgamations if such “business combination”
or merger or amalgamation has not been approved by our Board of Directors; and
• an exclusive jurisdiction clause.
These provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if the third party’s offer may be considered beneficial by a number of shareholders. As a result,
shareholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares. In addition, these provisions may adversely affect the market price of shares or inhibit fluctuations in the
market price of our shares that could otherwise result from actual or rumoured takeover attempts.
By default, the Singapore Code on Take-Overs and Mergers (the “Singapore Take-over Code”) applies to us following our Redomiciliation. We have received a waiver of the
Singapore Take-over Code from the Securities Industry Council (“SIC”) so that the Singapore Take-over Code will not apply to us as long as we are not listed on a securities exchange in
Singapore. If at the time of a takeover offer the Singapore Take-over Code applies to us, we would be subject to a number of rules and restrictions. For a detailed description of the anti-
takeover provisions in our Constitution and the Singapore Take-over Code, see Exhibit 2.2 “Description of Securities Registered Pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934”.

It may be difficult to serve process on or enforce a U.S. judgment against us, our officers, our directors and the experts named in this Annual Report because we are a Singapore
company.
We are a Singapore public company limited by shares. Our directors and officers and certain of the experts named in this Annual Report are located outside the United States and a
substantial portion of our assets and the assets of the aforementioned persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process
within the United States upon us or any of these persons or to enforce the U.S. judgments obtained in the U.S. courts against us or those persons based on the civil liability provisions
of the U.S. securities laws. It is not certain whether courts in Singapore will enforce judgments obtained in other jurisdictions, including the United States, against us or our directors or
officers or the experts under the securities laws of those jurisdictions or entertain actions in Singapore against us or our directors or officers or the experts under the securities laws of
other jurisdictions.
The United States and Singapore do not currently have a treaty providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments other than arbitration awards, in civil and
commercial matters. The enforceability of any judgment of a U.S. federal or state court in Singapore will therefore depend on the laws and any treaties in effect at the time, including
conflicts of laws principles (such as those bearing on the question of whether a Singapore court would recognise the basis on which a U.S. court had purported to exercise jurisdiction
over a defendant). Additionally, it is not certain that the courts of Singapore or of the non-U.S. jurisdictions in which our offices are located would enter judgments in original actions
brought in those courts predicated on U.S. federal or state securities laws or other U.S. laws. In addition, awards for punitive damages in actions brought in the United States (including
those under federal and state securities laws permitting punitive damages against us and our directors or officers) or elsewhere may be unenforceable in Singapore.
Holders of book-entry interests in our ordinary shares (for example, where shareholders hold ordinary shares indirectly through a nominee, in our case, Cede & Co which is a
nominee of The Depository Trust Company) will be required to be registered members in our register of members in order to have standing to bring an action and, if successful, to
enforce a judgment against us, our directors or our executive officers in the Singapore courts. Any such action would be subject to applicable Singapore laws. The administrative
process of becoming a registered member could result in delays that could be prejudicial to any legal proceeding or enforcement action.
The international nature of our operations may make the outcome of any bankruptcy proceedings difficult to predict.
The vessels in our Hafnia Fleet are registered and flagged in various jurisdictions and we conduct operations in countries around the world. Consequently, in the event of any
bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganisation or similar proceeding involving us or any of our subsidiaries, bankruptcy laws other than those of the United States
would likely apply. If we become a debtor under U.S. bankruptcy law, bankruptcy courts in the United States may seek to assert jurisdiction over all of our assets, wherever located,
including property situated in other countries. However, there can be no assurance that we would become a debtor in the United States, or that a U.S. bankruptcy court would be entitled
to, or accept, jurisdiction over such a bankruptcy case, or that courts in other countries that have jurisdiction over us and our operations would recognise a U.S. bankruptcy court’s
jurisdiction if any other bankruptcy court would determine it had jurisdiction.
Our Constitution contains an exclusive jurisdiction provision applicable to certain types of actions. This exclusive jurisdiction provision could limit the ability of our shareholders
to obtain a favourable judicial forum for disputes against us or our directors or officers.
Our Constitution contains an exclusive jurisdiction provision which designates the courts of Singapore as the exclusive forum for any disputes arising concerning the Singapore
Companies Act and/or the Constitution, including any question regarding the existence and scope of any regulation in the Constitution and/or whether there has been a breach of the
Singapore Companies Act or the Constitution by an officer or director (whether or not such claim is brought in the name of a shareholder or in the name of the Company). The exclusive
jurisdiction provision further provides that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the
exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

We believe that the exclusive jurisdiction provision in our Constitution benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of the Securities Act and Exchange Act in
the United States federal court and increased consistency in the application of Singapore law for the specified types of actions and proceedings. However, the exclusive jurisdiction
provision may have the effect of limiting the ability of shareholders to obtain a favourable judicial forum for disputes against us or our directors or officers and may limit or discourage
our shareholders from being able to bring a legal claim against us due to geographic limitations.
The enforceability of exclusive jurisdiction provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation, constitutions and bye-laws have been challenged in legal proceedings.
There is a risk that a court could find the exclusive jurisdiction provision in our Constitution to be inapplicable or unenforceable in connection with an action. If mandatory laws or other
regulations designate the forum for certain causes of action, there is a high likelihood that such designated applicable forum will not be set aside because of the exclusive jurisdiction
provision in our Constitution. If the exclusive jurisdiction provision in our Constitution is set aside, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in jurisdictions
other than the jurisdictions set out in the exclusive jurisdiction provision, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.
Risks Related to Our Indebtedness
Our future capital needs are uncertain and we may need to raise additional funds in the future.
We may face liquidity issues if poor market conditions in the chemical and product tanker market occur for a prolonged period. Additionally, we may in the future need to raise
additional capital to maintain, replace and expand the operating capacity of our Hafnia Fleet and to fund our operations. Our need for funding in the future will depend on a number of
factors, several of which are not under our control, including, but not limited to: the cost and timing of vessel acquisitions, the cost of retrofitting or modifying existing vessels as a result
of technological developments in vessel design and vessel equipment, changes in applicable environmental regulations or other regulations and requirements and customer
requirements.
We may be required to incur borrowings or raise capital through the sale of debt or equity securities. Our ability to borrow money and access the capital markets through future
offerings may be limited by a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
• our financial performance;
• our credit rating;
• the liquidity of the overall capital markets;
• Singapore, United States, Norwegian, and global economies;
• general economic conditions and other contingencies and uncertainties beyond our control; and
• the state of the chemical and product tanker market.
We cannot assure you that we in the future will be able to obtain additional funds on acceptable terms or that we will be able to obtain additional funds at all. Any additional debt or
equity financing that we obtain may contain terms such as restrictive covenants, including terms that are more restrictive than the terms included in our existing credit facilities.
Additionally, the cost of our debt may in the future increase due to rising interest rates.
The actual or perceived credit quality of our charterers, and any defaults by them, may materially affect our ability to obtain the additional capital resources that we will require to
purchase additional vessels or may significantly increase our costs of obtaining such capital. Additionally, we may experience decreased access to lenders and financiers if they decide
to withdraw from the tanker industry.
If we cannot obtain the funds for necessary future capital expenditures or such funds are only available to us at a higher than anticipated cost, we may be unable to meet our
obligations as they come due, our ability to continue to operate some or all of the vessels in our Hafnia Fleet may be limited, it could cause us to impair the value of our Hafnia Vessels,
limit our ability to continue with our expansion plans, if any, and otherwise hinder us from taking advantage of business opportunities as they arise. These factors, or any of them, could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and the market price of our ordinary shares. Even if we can obtain funds in the
future, the terms of such financing agreements may limit our ability to pay dividends.

We have a significant amount of financial debt and servicing our current or future indebtedness limits funds available for other purposes and if we cannot service our debt, we may
lose the vessels in our Hafnia Fleet.
Our main financing arrangements are mostly secured fleet financing, and to a lesser extent, financing leases (sale and lease-back arrangements), working capital, and unsecured
credit facilities. As at December 31, 2024, we had interest-bearing debt, which includes mortgage debt, bank loans and liabilities regarding lease liabilities (sale and lease-back
arrangements accounted for as financing transactions) net of amortised bank fees of $1,222.2 million and cash and cash equivalents (excluding cash retained in the commercial pools and
restricted cash) of $195.3 million. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – B. Liquidity and Capital Resources” for more information on our current debt. We may
incur additional indebtedness in the future. In addition to our debt, we may from time to time guarantee debt incurred by our joint ventures.
Our level of debt from time to time could have important consequences for us, including, but not limited to:
• our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, vessel acquisitions or other purposes may be impaired or such financing may be unavailable
on favourable terms;
• our costs of borrowing could increase as we become more leveraged;
• we may need to use a substantial portion of our cash from operations to make principal and interest payments on our debt, reducing the funds that would otherwise be available
for operations, general corporate activities, future business opportunities, and dividends to our shareholders;
• future creditors may subject us to limitations on our business and future financing activities as well as certain financial and operational covenants and such restrictions may
prevent us from taking actions that otherwise might be deemed to be in the best interests of us and our shareholders;
• our debt level could make us more vulnerable than our competitors with less debt to competitive pressures, a downturn in our business or the economy in general; and
• our debt level may limit our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions in our business and the industry where we operate or detract from our
ability to successfully withstand a downturn in our business or the economy in general.
Our ability to service our debt will depend upon, among other things, our future financial and operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions as
well as financial, business, regulatory, competitive, technical, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. If our operating income is not sufficient to service our current or
future indebtedness, we will be forced to take action, such as reducing or delaying our business activities, acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring
or refinancing our debt or seeking additional equity capital. We may not be able to effect any of these remedies on satisfactory terms, without the consent of our existing lenders, or at
all. Our inability to service and repay our debt upon maturity and/or our inability to pay in accordance with guarantees provided in respect of debt incurred by our joint venture
companies could have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations and financial condition.
Our credit facilities and lease financing agreements contain covenants which may limit our ability to conduct certain activities, and further, we may be unable to comply with such
covenants, which could result in an event of default under the terms of such agreements.
Our credit facilities and lease financing agreements impose, and any future credit facilities and lease financing agreement may impose, certain operating and financial restrictions on
us. These restrictions may limit our ability, or the ability of our subsidiaries party thereto, to, among other things:
• pay dividends and make capital expenditures if we do not repay amounts drawn under our credit facilities or if there is another default under our credit facilities;
• incur additional indebtedness, including the issuance of guarantees;

• create liens on our assets;
• change the flag, class or management of our Hafnia Vessels or JV Vessels (as applicable) or terminate or materially amend the management agreement relating to each vessel;
• sell our Hafnia Vessels or JV Vessels (as applicable);
• merge or consolidate with, or transfer all or substantially all our assets to, another person;
• increase or reduce capital;
• be subject to a change of control; or
• enter into a new line of business.
In addition, the terms and conditions of certain of our borrowings require us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy financial covenants, including (i) ratios and covenants
based on the market value of our Hafnia Vessels, (ii) specified levels of cash and cash equivalents and available credit lines, (iii) specified minimum amounts of equity, (iv) specified levels
of collateral coverage, and (v) specific maximum ratios of net debt to total assets or total capitalisation. Should our charter rates or vessel values materially decline in the future, we may
seek to obtain waivers or amendments from our lenders with respect to such financial ratios and covenants, or we may be required to take action to reduce our debt or to act in a manner
contrary to our business objectives to meet any such financial ratios and satisfy any such financial covenants. Events beyond our control, including changes in the economic and
business conditions in the shipping markets in which we operate, may affect our ability to comply with these covenants. We cannot assure you that we will meet these ratios or satisfy
these covenants or that our lenders will waive any failure to do so or amend these requirements.
The terms of certain of our credit facilities contain provisions pursuant to which the majority lenders may cancel the loans and require repayment of the outstanding amounts if
Sohmen family interests cease to beneficially or legally hold more than 25% or more of our issued share capital. We can give no assurance that BW Group will continue to hold a
significant interest in us. Any mandatory prepayment as a result of such a change of control under certain of our credit facilities could lead to the foreclosure of all or a portion of our
Hafnia Fleet and could have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial position and could lead to bankruptcy or other
insolvency proceedings.
A breach of any of the covenants in, or our inability to maintain the required financial ratios under, our credit facilities would prevent us from borrowing additional money under our
credit facilities or lease financing arrangements and could result in an event of default under our credit facilities which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition,
and results of operations. If an event of default occurs under our credit facilities or lease financing arrangements, the counterparties could elect to declare the outstanding debt, together
with accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable and foreclose on the collateral securing that debt, which could constitute all or substantially all of our assets.
Moreover, in connection with any waivers or amendments to our credit facilities or lease financing arrangements that we may obtain, our lenders may impose additional operating and
financial restrictions on us or modify the terms of our existing credit facilities or lease financing arrangements. These restrictions may further restrict our ability to, among other things,
pay dividends, repurchase our ordinary shares, make capital expenditures, or incur additional indebtedness.
Furthermore, our debt and lease financing agreements contain cross-default provisions that may be triggered if we default under the terms of any one of our financing agreements
(subject to a threshold amount being crossed). In the event of default by us under one of our debt agreements, the lenders under our other debt or lease financing agreements could
determine that we are in default under such other financing agreements. Such cross defaults could result in the acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness under these agreements
and the lenders thereunder may foreclose upon any collateral securing that indebtedness, including our Hafnia Vessels, even if we were to subsequently cure such default. In addition,
our credit facilities and lease financing arrangements contain subjective acceleration clauses under which the debt could become due and payable in the event of a material adverse
change in our business. In the event of such acceleration or foreclosure, we might not have sufficient funds or other assets to satisfy all of our obligations, which would have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The restrictions in our credit facilities and sale and lease-back agreements may prevent us from taking actions that otherwise might be deemed to be in our best interest and in the
best interest of our shareholders and it may further affect our ability to operate our business going forward, particularly our ability to incur debt, make capital expenditures or otherwise
take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise.
As at the date of this Annual Report, we are in compliance with the financial covenants contained in our credit facilities.
We may be exposed to risk in relation to our use of derivative instruments.
Our use of derivative instruments such as freight forward agreements (“FFA”), bunker hedging agreements, and interest rate hedging contracts, could result in losses. FFAs may be
used to hedge our exposure to the market by providing for the sale of a contracted charter rate on an identified route and period. Bunker hedging agreements may be used to hedge the
price on bunkers. Interest rate hedging contracts (including swaps, caps, and options) that are unsecured or secured by existing credit loan facilities, may be entered into with lenders as
per the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) agreements. From time to time, we invest in FFAs, by either buying or selling FFA positions. The risks related to such
FFA trading are managed through our internal authorisation manual, approved by our Board of Directors, and in accordance with our internal financing and risk management policies.
However, if we take positions in derivate instruments and do not correctly anticipate the market movements, we could suffer losses which could negatively affect our results of
operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
Risks Related to Tax
A change in tax laws in any country in which we operate, including, but not limited to, the imposition of freight taxes, or disagreements with tax authorities could adversely affect
us.
Tax laws, treaties and regulations are highly complex and subject to interpretation. Consequently, we and our subsidiaries are subject to changing laws, treaties and regulations in
and between the countries in which we operate.
We have global operations with companies incorporated in different jurisdictions and operating out of Singapore, Denmark, Monaco, Dubai, Marshall Islands and the United States.
Additionally, we have invested in companies in other countries and our vessels operate globally and therefore both within international waters and within the territories of a large
number of different jurisdictions. Our complex and international operational structure entails that we are subject to changes in tax law, treaties or regulations, including the interpretation
and enforcement thereof, in many different jurisdictions. If jurisdictions in which our vessels operate impose freight taxes applicable to our operation, our results of operations may be
negatively affected and such taxes could decrease the earnings available for distribution to our shareholders.
Our tax expense is based on our interpretation of the tax laws in effect at the time the expense was incurred. A change in tax laws, treaties, or regulations, or in the interpretation or
enforcement thereof, could result in a materially higher tax expense or a higher effective tax rate on our earnings. Such changes may include measures enacted in response to the ongoing
initiatives in relation to fiscal legislation at an international level such as the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Project. Additionally, there is a risk that our interpretation of applicable tax
laws differ from those of tax authorities, potentially resulting in, inter alia, increased tax burdens or successful challenges to our operational structure and intercompany pricing
principles. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

A change to the way in which our international shipping income is taxed in Singapore could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
The majority of our shipping income accrues in Singapore, where we exercise strategic or commercial management over our international shipping activities. Therefore, we are
impacted by the Singapore tax legislation. In Singapore, we are subject to the Maritime Sector Initiative – Singapore Registry of Ships (“MSI-SRS”) award and the Maritime Sector
Initiative – Approved International Shipping Enterprise Award (“MSI-AIS”). Under the MSI-SRS and MSI-AIS, income from international shipping operations is subject to tax
exemptions or an alternative basis of tax based on the net tonnage of the ships for qualifying shipping income. The MSI-SRS is an ongoing award which requires no additional
application that will be applicable so long as a company owns and/or operates Singapore flagged vessel(s) for international shipping operations. Meanwhile, the MSI-AIS is a renewable
award every ten years. We are currently subject to both the MSI-SRS and the MSI-AIS. Our current ten-year period under the MSI-AIS will expire on April 30, 2028 where we intend to
re-apply for an additional ten-year extension. Renewal of the MSI-AIS is contingent on various factors where we will be required to, for example, demonstrate a business plan on how our
business can generate economic contributions in Singapore through business spending, employment and ensuring that our strategic or commercial management is in Singapore.
We expect to be able to renew our MSI-AIS where relevant unless there is a shift in Singapore government policy to not wish to promote and further incentivise the maritime sector.
If we do not continue to be subject to the MSI-SRS and/or the MSI-AIS, it may have adverse effects on our business, results of operations, and financial condition, and would decrease
our earnings available for distribution to shareholders.
We could be treated as or become a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which could have adverse U.S. federal income tax
consequences to U.S. shareholders.
A foreign corporation will be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income during the taxable year consists of certain types of
“passive income” or (ii) at least 50% of the average value of the corporation’s assets during such taxable year produce or are held for the production of those types of “passive income.”
For purposes of these tests, “passive income” includes dividends, interest, and gains from the sale or exchange of investment property and rents and royalties other than rents and
royalties which are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business.
For purposes of these tests, income derived from the performance of services does not constitute “passive income.” U.S. shareholders of a PFIC are subject to a disadvantageous
U.S. federal income tax regime with respect to the income derived by the PFIC, the distributions they receive from the PFIC and the gain, if any, they derive from the sale or other
disposition of their shares in the PFIC.
Based on our current and proposed method of operation, we do not believe that we will be a PFIC with respect to any taxable year. In this regard, we intend to treat the gross income
we derive or are deemed to derive from our time chartering activities as services income, rather than rental income. Accordingly, we believe that our income from our time and voyage
chartering activities does not constitute “passive income”, and the assets that we own and operate in connection with the production of that income do not constitute assets that
produce or are held for the production of “passive income.”
We believe there is substantial legal authority supporting our position consisting of case law and U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) pronouncements concerning the
characterisation of income derived from time charters and voyage charters as services income for other tax purposes. However, we note that there is also legal authority which
characterises time charter income as rental income rather than services income for other tax purposes. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court of law will accept
our position and there is a risk that the IRS or a court of law could determine that we are a PFIC.
Based on the foregoing, we believe that we were not a PFIC with respect to any prior taxable year. However, there can be no assurance that we will not become a PFIC for the current
taxable year or any future taxable year as a result of changes in our operations or assets.
If we are or have been a PFIC for any taxable year during a U.S. shareholder’s holding period with respect to our stock, such U.S shareholder will face adverse U.S tax consequences
and certain information reporting requirements. Under the PFIC rules, unless such shareholder makes a “mark to market” election (which election could itself have adverse consequences
for such shareholder), such shareholder would be liable to pay U.S. federal income tax at the then prevailing income tax rates on ordinary income plus interest upon “excess
distributions” and upon any gain from the disposition of our ordinary shares, as if the excess distribution or gain had been recognised rateably over the shareholder’s holding period of
our ordinary shares. See “Item 10. Additional Information – E. Taxation” for a more comprehensive description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S shareholders if we
are treated as a PFIC.

We may become liable for taxes on U.S. sourced income, which would reduce our earnings.
Under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the “Code”), 50% of the gross shipping income of a corporation that owns or charters vessels, as we and our
subsidiaries do, that is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the United States generally will be subject to a 4% U.S. federal income
tax without allowance for deductions, unless that corporation qualifies for exemption from tax under Section 883 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the U.S.
Department of the Treasury.
We and our subsidiaries intend to take the position that we qualify for this statutory tax exemption for U.S. federal income tax return reporting purposes. However, there are factual
circumstances beyond our control that could cause us not to be eligible for the benefit of this tax exemption and thereby become subject to U.S. federal income tax on our U.S. source
shipping income. For example, we may no longer qualify for exemption under Section 883 of the Code for a particular taxable year if shareholders with a five percent or greater interest in
our ordinary shares (“5% Shareholders”) owned, in the aggregate, 50% or more of our outstanding ordinary shares for more than half the days during the taxable year, and there do not
exist sufficient 5% Shareholders that are qualified shareholders for purposes of Section 883 of the Code to preclude nonqualified 5% Shareholders from owning 50% or more of our
ordinary shares for more than half the number of days during such taxable year or we are unable to satisfy certain substantiation requirements with regard to our 5% Shareholders. Due
to the factual nature of the issues involved, there can be no assurances on the tax-exempt status of us or any of our subsidiaries.
If we or our subsidiaries are not entitled to exemption under Section 883 of the Code for any taxable year, we or our subsidiaries could be subject for such year to an effective 2%
U.S. federal income tax on the shipping income we or they derive during such year which is attributable to the transport of cargoes to or from the United States. The imposition of this tax
would have a negative effect on our business and would decrease our earnings available for distribution to our shareholders.
We and certain of our subsidiaries have entered into and may in the future enter into internal agreements which must be at market value or on terms no more favourable than
would have been agreed if the transaction was not conducted on an intra-group basis.
We have global operations, and the functions related to owning and operating a global scale chemical and product tanker fleet are spread across various subsidiaries, including
crewing, technical maintenance, chartering and ownership of vessels. Cross-border business between our subsidiaries and between us and our subsidiaries can be complicated. We will
likely enter into further agreements by and among our subsidiaries on the one hand and Hafnia Limited on the other hand in the future and between two or more of our subsidiaries. To
ensure compliance with transfer pricing regulations, such transactions must in general be conducted on an arm’s-length basis. We believe that these transactions are conducted on
arm’s-length terms, but no assurance can be given that we would not have been able to secure more favourable terms from third parties.
Regarding any cross-border transactions, we may face significant compliance challenges with the regulations and administrative requirements around transfer pricing, as they differ
from country to country. Tax authorities are increasingly sophisticated in the way they operate and are focusing more closely on transfer pricing in companies that transact cross-border
business.

Certain of our subsidiaries are incorporated in offshore jurisdictions and our operations may be subject to economic substance requirements, which could impact our business.
We are a Singapore company. A majority of our subsidiaries are Singapore entities; however, certain of our subsidiaries are as at the date of this Annual Report incorporated in
offshore jurisdictions with economic substance laws and regulations with which we may be obligated to comply. We believe that we and our subsidiaries are compliant with applicable
economic substance requirements. However, if there were a change in the requirements or interpretation thereof, or if there were an unexpected change to our operations, any such
change could result in noncompliance with the economic substance legislation and related fines or other penalties, increased monitoring and audits, and dissolution of the noncompliant
entity, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
EU finance ministers rate jurisdictions for tax rates and tax transparency, governance and real economic activity. Countries that are viewed by such finance ministers as not
adequately cooperating, including by not implementing sufficient standards in respect of the foregoing, may be put on a “grey list” or a “blacklist.” EU member states have agreed upon
a set of measures, which they can choose to apply against grey- or blacklisted countries, including increased monitoring and audits, withholding taxes, special documentation
requirements and anti-abuse provisions. The European Commission has stated it will continue to support member states’ efforts to develop a more coordinated approach to sanctions for
the listed countries. EU legislation prohibits EU funds from being channelled or transited through entities in countries on the blacklist. If jurisdictions in which we operate are put on the
blacklist in the future, it could negatively impact our business.
A loss of a major tax dispute or a successful tax challenge to the Group’s operating structure or to the Group’s tax payments, among other things could result in a higher tax rate on
the Group’s earnings, which could result in a significant negative impact on its earnings and cash flows from operations
From time to time, the Group’s tax payments may be subject to review or investigations by tax authorities of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates or in which its vessels call
or have called (including but not limited to Singapore, Denmark, United States and other locations which our vessels call in). If any tax authority successfully challenges the Group’s
operational structure, intercompany pricing policies or the taxable presence of its subsidiaries in certain countries, or if the Group loses a material tax dispute in any country or any tax
challenge of the Group’s tax payments is successful, its effective tax rate on its earnings could increase substantially and the Group’s earnings and cash flows from operations could be
materially adversely affected. There are, for instance, several transactions taking place between the companies in the Group and related companies, which must be carried out in
accordance with arm’s length principles in order to avoid adverse tax consequences. There can be no assurance that the tax authorities will conclude that the Group’s transfer pricing
policy calculates correct arm’s length prices for intercompany transactions, which could lead to an adjustment of the agreed price, which would in turn lead to increased tax cost for the
Group.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Ordinary Shares
Our share price has fluctuated in the past, has been volatile and may be volatile in the future and as a result, investors in our ordinary shares could incur substantial losses.
Our share price has fluctuated in the past, has been volatile and may be volatile in the future. Our share prices may experience rapid and substantial decreases or increases in the
foreseeable future that are unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. The stock market in general and the market for shipping companies in particular have experienced
extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. As a result of this volatility, shareholders may experience substantial losses on
their investment in our ordinary shares. The market price for our ordinary shares may be influenced by many factors, including factors that may be unrelated to our operating
performance or prospects.
The following factors, among others, could affect the trading price of our ordinary shares:
• our operating and financial performance;
• investor reactions to our business strategy;

disrupting our operations or resulting in political or economic instability.
The stock markets in general have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market
fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our ordinary shares regardless of our operating performance, financial conditions or other indicators of value. Historically, following
periods of volatility in the market and in the market price of a company’s shares, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted
against us, could result in very substantial costs, divert our management’s attention and resources and harm our business, operating results, future prospects, and financial condition.
Additionally, recently securities of certain companies have experienced significant and extreme volatility in share price due to short sellers of shares, known as a “short squeeze.”
These short squeezes have caused extreme volatility in those companies and in the market and have led the price per share of those companies to trade at a significantly inflated rate that
is disconnected from the underlying value of the company. Many investors who have purchased shares in those companies at an inflated rate face the risk of losing a significant portion
of their original investment as the price per share has declined steadily as interest in those shares has abated. While we have no reason to believe our shares would be the target of a
short squeeze, there can be no assurance that we will not be in the future, and you may lose a significant portion or all of your investment if you purchase our shares at a rate that is
significantly disconnected from our underlying value.
There can be no assurance that our share price will remain at current prices or that you will be able to sell any of our ordinary shares you may have purchased at a price greater than
or equal to its original purchase price, or that you will be able to sell our ordinary shares at all.
Our ordinary shares are traded on more than one stock exchange and this may result in price variations between the markets and could expose our shareholders to exchange rate
fluctuations.
Our ordinary shares are listed on each of NYSE and Oslo Børs. Trading in our ordinary shares therefore takes place in different currencies (U.S. dollars on the NYSE and NOK on
Oslo Børs) and at different times (resulting from different time zones, different trading days and different public holidays in the United States and Norway). The trading prices of our
ordinary shares on these two markets may differ as a result of these or other factors. Any decrease in the price of our ordinary shares on either of these markets could cause a decrease
in the trading prices of our ordinary shares on the other market.
Cash dividends or other distributions to be declared in respect of our ordinary shares, if any, will be denominated in U.S. dollars. For shareholders trading our ordinary shares
through Oslo Børs, any future dividends will be distributed in NOK through Euronext Securities Oslo (the “VPS”). Shareholders may therefore be exposed to foreign currency exchange
rate risk. In addition, we may not offer our shareholders the option to elect to receive dividends, if any, in a currency other than U.S. dollars or NOK, as applicable. Consequently,
shareholders may be required to arrange foreign currency exchange at their own expense.

You may be liable to pay taxes on dividends or distributions from us or on any income or gains otherwise resulting from your ownership of our shares including any gains as a
result of an increase in value of the shares, if any.
You may be liable to pay taxes on income from dividends or distributions or on any gains or income resulting from your ownership of our shares, including any gains as a result of
an increase in value of the shares, if any. We advise you to consult your advisors regarding the tax consequences of dividends or other distributions made by us or of any other income
or gains resulting from your ownership of our shares.
Currently, there is no withholding tax on dividends in Singapore. We cannot assure you that withholding taxes will not be implemented in the future. If withholding taxes are
implemented on dividends or other distributions in Singapore, our shareholders residing in other countries may not be able to credit the amount of such withholding tax to any tax due
on such dividends or other distributions in any country other than Singapore. As a result, such shareholders may be subject to double taxation in respect of such dividends or other
distributions.
We do not know whether a market for our ordinary shares will be sustained to provide you with adequate liquidity.
Our ordinary shares currently trade on Oslo Børs and on the NYSE. No assurance can be given as to the following:
• the likelihood that an active trading market for our ordinary shares will be sustained;
• the liquidity of any such market;
• the ability of our shareholders to sell their ordinary shares; or
• the price that our shareholders may obtain for their ordinary shares.
If an active market for our ordinary shares is not sustained, their market price may decline, and you may not be able to sell your shares. The market price of our ordinary shares may
be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Our financial performance, government regulatory action, tax laws, interest rates, industry trends, and market conditions in general
could have a significant impact on the future market price of our ordinary shares.
Additionally, as a result of the Redomiciliation, our legal domicile was transferred to Singapore. Certain shareholders may, pursuant to their investment policies, not be able to, or
otherwise wish not to, hold or invest in shares of a Singapore issuer, which may, as a result, have an adverse effect on trading, liquidity and the price of the ordinary shares.
The requirements of being a public company listed in the United States, including compliance with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the requirements of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the requirements of the NYSE Continued Listing Standards. If we fail to maintain an effective internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable
to accurately report our results of operations and meet our financial reporting obligations in a timely or cost-effective manner.
As a public company listed in both Norway and the United States, we need to comply with requirements under a number of laws and regulations, including the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), related rules and regulations of the SEC, certain corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the requirements of the
NYSE. We were not subject to the United States’ rules before we were listed on the NYSE. Complying with these statutes, regulations and requirements have absorbed and may continue
to absorb a significant amount of time of our Board of Directors and management and may significantly increase our costs and expenses. As at the date of this Annual Report, we have
complied or are in the process of complying with such requirements by:
• instituting a more comprehensive compliance function, including for financial reporting and disclosures;
• continuing to prepare and distribute periodic public reports in compliance with our obligations under federal securities laws;
• complying with rules promulgated by the NYSE;
• enhancing our investor relations function;

• establishing new internal policies to further strengthen our corporate governance, such as those relating to insider trading; and
• involving and retaining to a greater degree outside counsel and accountants in the above activities.
We may not be able to predict or estimate the amount of the additional costs we may incur, the timing of such costs or the degree of impact that our management’s attention to these
matters will have on our business. However, such costs could potentially have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and determine the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Because of its inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We have dedicated and intend to
continue to dedicate a significant amount of time and resources to ensure compliance with these regulatory requirements and to work with our legal, accounting and financial advisors to
identify any areas in which changes should be made to our financial and management control systems to manage our growth and our obligations as a U.S. listed public company. We will
continue to evaluate areas such as corporate governance, corporate control, internal audit, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We will
make changes in any of these and other areas, including our internal control over financial reporting, which we believe are necessary. However, these and other measures we may take
may not be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations as a U.S. listed public company on a timely and reliable basis.
In addition, we expect that being a U.S. listed public company subject to these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain directors and
officers liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it
may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating these rules, and we cannot
predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
Investors with shares registered in a nominee account will need to exercise voting rights through their nominee
Beneficial owners of shares that are registered in a nominee account (such as through brokers, dealers or other third parties) with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and
the Norwegian Central Securities Depositary, Euronext Securities Oslo will not be able to exercise voting rights directly, and they will need to receive the voting materials and provide
instructions through their nominee prior to the general meetings. We can provide no assurance that beneficial owners of shares will receive the notice of a general meeting in time to
instruct their nominees accordingly or otherwise vote their Shares in the manner desired by such beneficial owners.

We cannot assure you that we will pay dividends on our ordinary shares.
Our Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, from time to time, declare and pay cash dividends in accordance with our organisational documents and applicable law. We can
only distribute dividends to shareholders out of funds legally available for such payments. We have adopted a dividend policy according to which the payout percentage of net profit is
determined based on our level of net loan-to-value; however, the final amount of dividend is decided by our Board of Directors. In addition to cash dividends, we may buy back shares
as part of our total distribution to shareholders. The amount utilised in buying back shares may be deducted before declaring dividend for the quarter, such that the combined total of
dividends and share buybacks aligns with the dividend policy. Any changes to our dividend policy could adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares. The timing and
amount of any dividends and other distributions declared will depend on, among other things, our capital requirements, including capital expenditure commitments, financial condition,
general business conditions, legal restrictions, and any restrictions under borrowing arrangements or other contractual arrangements in place at the time. Therefore, there can be no
assurance that we will pay any dividends to holders of our ordinary shares or as to the amount of any such dividends or that we will buy back shares in the future. In addition, our
historical results of operations, including cash flows, are not indicative of future financial performance, and our actual results of operations could differ significantly from our historical
results of operations. See “Item 8. Financial Information – A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information – Dividend Policy.”
As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to certain disclosure and procedural requirements under the Exchange Act and we are permitted to adopt, and we have adopted
certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance that differ significantly from NYSE corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers. This may afford
less protection to our shareholders.
As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to the same disclosure and procedural requirements as domestic U.S. registrants under the Exchange Act. For instance, we are not
required to prepare and file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange
Act, we are not subject to the proxy requirements under Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and we are not required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of
material non-public information. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of
the Exchange Act. Moreover, under Singapore laws, we are permitted to disclose compensation information for our executive officers on an aggregate, rather than an individual, basis.
Rule 303A.01 of the NYSE corporate governance listing rules requires listed companies to have, among other things, a majority of their board members be independent. Though as a
foreign private issuer we are permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirement, under which there is such requirement, we expect to have a majority of
independent directors. Should we instead rely on the “foreign private issuer” exemptions, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would enjoy under the
NYSE corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. See “Item 16G. Corporate Governance – Foreign Private Issuer Exemption.”
We could lose our foreign private issuer status under U.S. securities laws. The regulatory and compliance costs to us under U.S. securities laws as a U.S. domestic issuer may be
significantly higher. We would then also be required to file periodic reports and annual reports on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the SEC, which are more detailed and extensive than
the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We may then also be required to modify certain of our policies to comply with good governance practices associated with U.S. domestic
issuers. Such conversion and modifications will involve additional costs. In addition, we would then lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance
requirements on NYSE that are available to foreign private issuers.

Future sales or issuances of our ordinary shares in the public markets, the perception that they might occur, or future offerings of debt securities or preferred shares, could cause
the price of our ordinary shares to decline, could dilute your voting power and your ownership interest in us and/or could lead to a loss of all or part of your investment.
Under Singapore law, shareholder approval is required to allow us to issue new shares. At a general meeting, the Board of Directors may be granted certain authorisations to
increase our issued share capital by issuance of shares or by instruments that may or will require shares to be issued, including but not limited to warrants. This authorisation, unless
revoked or varied by a general meeting, would continue to be in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting or the date by which the next annual general meeting is
required by law to be held, whichever is earlier. At our annual general meeting held in July 2024, our Board of Directors were granted authority to issue shares with effect from the
Redomiciliation.
Issuance of a substantial number of our ordinary shares or sale of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market, particularly sales by our directors, executive
officers and significant shareholders, or the perception that these issuances or sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares and may make it more
difficult for you to sell your ordinary shares at a time and price that you deem appropriate. These sales could also impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our
equity securities in the future. Furthermore, the issuance by us of additional shares may decrease our existing shareholders’ proportionate ownership interest in us and their relative
voting strength.
As at December 31, 2024, we had 512,563,532 issued ordinary shares (which included 9,639,056 treasury shares). Subject to limited exceptions, all of our ordinary shares outstanding
are freely tradable without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except for any shares held by our affiliates as defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”). We have entered into a shareholder rights agreement with BW Group which will give BW Group rights to require us to file registration
statements covering the sale of their shares or to include such shares in registration statements that we file for ourselves. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party
Transactions – B. Related Party Transactions” for additional information on this agreement.
In accordance with our remuneration policy, certain members of our senior management and key employees have been granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and options to
purchase our shares. The options and RSUs aim at incentivising the employees to seek to improve our performance and thereby our share price for the mutual benefit of the recipients of
options and RSUs and our shareholders. There was an aggregate of 3,921,842 options and 462,356 RSUs outstanding as at December 31, 2024 (not taking into account options and RSUs
voided or forfeited). See “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees – B. Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers” for additional information on these options and
RSUs.
In the future, we may raise capital through debt or equity offerings. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities and preferred shares and other creditors will
receive a distribution of our assets prior to the holders of our ordinary shares. Our preference shares, if any were issued, may have a preference on distributions and dividend payments,
which could limit our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our ordinary shares. Future debt or equity offerings may dilute our existing shareholders and or may reduce the market
price of our ordinary shares.
We have previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that could, if not remediated, result in material misstatements in our financial
statements. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a
result, shareholders could lose confidence in our financial and other public reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our ordinary shares.
We are subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires that beginning with our second annual report on Form 20-F, which will be the annual report for the year
ended December 31, 2025, (i) we include a report from our management on our internal control over financial reporting and (ii) our independent registered public accounting firm must
attest to and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
As disclosed in our registration statement on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024, as amended by our Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form 20-F, filed
with the SEC on April 1, 2024, we have identified three material weaknesses in the internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses identified relate to (i) not having a
sufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of IFRS accounting skills, SEC reporting knowledge and experience and training in internal controls over financial reporting; (ii)
not having sufficient information technology controls and documentation; and (iii) the review process over assumptions and inputs used in several key accounting estimates.

Table of Contents
In 2024, with the support of advisors and under supervision of the Chief Financial Officer and the Audit Committee, we implemented a plan to remediate the aforementioned material
weakness. The plan to remediate these material weaknesses includes (i) establishing a formal process to evaluate the design and implementation of the internal controls over financial
reporting, (ii) designing and implementing controls based on that evaluation, and (iii) recruiting more qualified personnel, performing skills gap analysis and training within our existing
finance organisation to strengthen the financial reporting function.
We continue to work closely with our advisors to evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting, and to provide necessary training
across the organisation. However, as we are not required to include a report from management on the internal control over financial reporting until the second annual report on Form 20-F,
neither our management nor our independent registered public accounting firm has conducted a comprehensive assessment of our internal control over financial reporting for the
purposes of identifying and reporting any material weakness or significant deficiency in internal control over financial reporting. Therefore, we cannot assure that all material weaknesses
have been identified, or that additional material weaknesses will not be identified in the future.
While we are actively working to remediate the material weaknesses as quickly and efficiently as possible, we cannot provide an estimate of costs expected to be incurred in
connection with the ongoing testing, formalising and implementation of updated procedures. Additional remediation measures may be time consuming, costly and might place significant
demands on our financial, management, and operational resources. If we are unable to successfully and timely remediate these material weaknesses and/or if we fail to maintain effective
internal control over financial reporting, as these standards are modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time, we may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have
effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404, to meet our reporting obligations, avoid material misstatements in our financial statements, or anticipate
and identify accounting issues or other financial reporting risks that could materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
Even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, the independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own
independent testing, may issue a report that is adverse if it is not satisfied with our internal controls or the level at which the controls are documented, designed, operated, or reviewed,
or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently than we do.
If we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, we could potentially suffer material misstatements in our financial statements and fail to meet our
reporting obligations, which could cause shareholders to lose confidence in our reported financial information. This could in turn limit our access to capital markets, harm our results of
operations and financial condition, and lead to a decline in the trading price of our ordinary shares. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose us to
increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets and could subject us to potential delisting from the NYSE, regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions, which could
harm our business and financial condition, and which would require additional financial and management resources. We may also be required to restate our financial statements from
prior periods.
The historical financial information in this Annual Report may make it difficult to accurately predict our costs of operations in the future.
Some of the historical financial information in this Annual Report does not reflect the added costs we have incurred and will incur as a U.S. listed public company or the resulting
changes that have occurred in our capital structure and operations as a result of the NYSE Listing. Furthermore, it does not reflect additional costs as a result of our Redomiciliation to
Singapore and the re-domiciliation of certain of our subsidiaries to Singapore. For more information on our historical financial information, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review
and Prospects – A. Operating Results” and our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY
A. History and Development of the Company
We are a Singapore public company limited by shares with company registration number (UEN) 202440137E and the legal name “Hafnia Limited”. We redomiciled from Bermuda to
Singapore with effect from October 1, 2024 by way of a discontinuance from Bermuda and continuance into Singapore pursuant to Section 132G of the Bermuda Companies Act. Prior to
the Redomiciliation, we were an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Bermuda on April 29, 2014. We have operated under the name Hafnia Limited from
January 16, 2019 to the date of this Annual Report, under the name BW Tankers Limited from February 13, 2018 to January 16, 2019, and under the name BW Pacific Limited from our
incorporation on April 29, 2014 to February 13, 2018. We are a holding company, and all of our operations are performed through our subsidiaries.
Our current corporate organisation is the result of a 2019 merger between Hafnia Tankers and BW Tankers. The merger, completed on January 16, 2019, was carried out by way of a
triangular merger, where Hafnia Tankers first merged with BW Tankers Corporation (a wholly-owned subsidiary of BW Tankers) with BW Tankers Corporation being the surviving and
continuing entity. Thereafter, on January 21, 2019, BW Tankers Corporation merged with BW Tankers (which changed its name to Hafnia Limited with effect from January 16, 2019) in a
statutory parent and subsidiary short form merger with BW Tankers being the surviving and continuing entity.
On November 8, 2019, our shares commenced trading on Oslo Axess under the ticker code “HAFNIA.” On April 30, 2020, we were transferred from Oslo Axess to Oslo Børs and
began trading under the ticker code “HAFNI.” On February 28, 2023, we began trading on the OTCQX® Best Market, New York, under the ticker (OTCQX: HAFNF). On April 9, 2024, our
shares ceased trading on the OTCQX® Best Market and listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “HAFN”.
The business, assets and liabilities of Hafnia Limited and its subsidiaries immediately after the Redomiciliation were the same as Hafnia Limited immediately before the
Redomiciliation on a consolidated basis, as well as our financial year. In addition, the directors and executive officers of Hafnia Limited immediately after the Redomiciliation were the
same individuals who were directors and executive officers, respectively, of Hafnia Limited immediately prior to the Redomiciliation. Currently, our principal executive office is located at
10 Pasir Panjang Road, #18-01, Mapletree Business City, Singapore 117438.
You can reach us in our Singapore office at +65 6434 3770. Our agent for service of process in the United States is Hafnia US, LLC and its address is c/o Corporation Service
Company, 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware, 19808, United States. We also have offices in Copenhagen (Denmark), Houston (United States), Mumbai

Vessel acquisitions and divestments
We are committed to a strategy of continuous fleet renewal and therefore complete divestments and acquisitions of vessels from time to time to ensure that our Hafnia Fleet is
optimally structured.
In the period from January 1, 2025 until the date of this Annual Report, we have not acquired any vessels (excluding the acquisition of vessels by the utilisation of purchase options
in our sale and lease-back arrangements); however, we have taken delivery of one newbuild MR vessel in our Ecomar Joint Venture (as defined below).
In 2024, we divested two vessels and we did not acquire any vessels (excluding the acquisition of vessels by the utilisation of purchase options in our sale and lease-back
arrangements). Our Vista Joint Venture (defined below) took delivery of one newbuild LR2-vessel. In 2023, we divested six vessels and acquired four vessels which were named Hafnia
Atlantic, Hafnia Pacific, Hafnia Pioneer and Hafnia Valentino. Additionally, our Vista Joint Venture took delivery of three newbuild LR2-vessels.

In 2022, we acquired 44 new vessels (through the acquisition of 12 product tankers from Scorpio Tankers Inc. (“Scorpio”) and the acquisition of the CTI Fleet in the CTI Transaction
both as described below) and divested 18 vessels. Eight of the vessels divested in 2022 were stainless steel vessels acquired by us in connection with the CTI Transaction. We divested
these non-core assets to Ace Tankers Management B.V. In addition to these eight vessels, we divested four LR1 and six Handy vessels in line with our ongoing fleet renewal strategy.
We note that the above does not include any vessel acquisition pursuant to purchase options or purchase obligations in our sale and lease-back arrangements. Our sale and lease-
back arrangements are further described in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – B. Liquidity and Capital Resources – Financing Arrangements”.
Acquisition of Chemical Tankers Inc.’s fleet of vessels
On January 27, 2022, we completed the acquisition of 32 modern-fuel efficient chemical and product tanker vessels (the “CTI Fleet”) through the acquisition of Chemical Tankers
Inc. and its subsidiaries (“CTI”) (the “CTI Transaction”). Immediately after closing of the CTI Transaction, we transferred all shares in CTI to our wholly-owned subsidiary Hafnia
Holding II Limited. As consideration for the acquisition, the shareholders of CTI received 99,199,394 shares in Hafnia. The consideration shares consisted of a combination of existing
shares and newly issued shares. The vessels in the CTI Fleet were built between 2015 and 2017. As described above, we have divested eight of the vessels acquired in the CTI
Transaction. The remaining 24 vessels have been included in our Hafnia Fleet and now operate in our Chemical-MR Pool and Chemical-Handy Pool.
Acquisition of 12 LR1 product tankers from Scorpio Tankers Inc.
On January 27, 2022, we announced our acquisition of a fleet of 12 LR1 product tankers from Scorpio. The total consideration paid to Scorpio for the vessels was $413.8 million. The
vessels were built in 2015 (1) and 2016 (11) in South Korea. On February 24, 2022, we (as guarantor) and our subsidiary, Hafnia Pools Pte. Ltd. (as charterer), entered into a sale and lease-
back agreement with ICBC Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (“ICBCL”) for the financing of these vessels. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – B. Liquidity and
Capital Resources” for additional information on this financing arrangement. We have delivered all vessels to ICBCL and all vessels have been bareboat chartered back to our subsidiary
Hafnia Pools Pte. Ltd.
Joint Ventures
Vista Joint Venture
We are joint venture partners with CSSC (Hong Kong) Shipping Company Limited (“CSSC”) in Vista Shipping Pte. Ltd. (“Vista Shipping”) (the “Vista Joint Venture”). The Vista Joint
Venture builds and operates LR1 and LR2 product tanker vessels. Vista Shipping and several of the subsidiaries of Vista Shipping were initially incorporated in Marshall Islands;
however, these companies have been redomiciled to Singapore. We and CSSC have joint control over the Vista Joint Venture and each have 50% ownership interest. In accordance with
the agreement under which the Vista Joint Venture was established, we and CSSC have agreed to provide shareholder loans in proportion to our interest to finance the newbuild program
in the Vista Joint Venture. As at the date of this Annual Report, the fleet of the Vista Joint Venture comprises six LR1 vessels and four LR2 vessels. The LR1 vessels are trading in the
Hafnia LR1 Pool. The LR2 vessels are chartered to Total or Equinor on long-term time charters.
Andromeda Joint Venture
We are joint venture partners with Andromeda Shipholdings Ltd. (“Andromeda Shipholdings”) in H&A Shipping Pte. Ltd. (“H&A Shipping”) (the “Andromeda Joint Venture”). We
and Andromeda Shipholdings have joint control over the Andromeda Joint Venture and each have 50% ownership interest. H&A Shipping and its subsidiaries Green Stars Shipping Pte.
Ltd. and Yellow Star Shipping Pte. Ltd. were initially incorporated in Marshall Islands, but were redomiciled to Singapore in 2024. In accordance with the agreement under which the
Andromeda Joint Venture was established, we and Andromeda Shipholdings have agreed to provide shareholder loans in proportion to our interest to finance the newbuild program in
the Andromeda Joint Venture. The fleet of the Andromeda Joint Venture comprises two MR vessels; Yellow Stars and PS Stars. Both vessels are time chartered to Clearlake on long-term
time charters.

Ecomar Joint Venture
We are joint venture partners with Socatra in Ecomar Shipholding SAS (the “Ecomar Joint Venture”). We and Socatra each have 50% ownership interest. The Ecomar Joint Venture is
managed in France and controlled by a Management Committee primarily comprising persons living in France. Ecomar Shipholding SAS has four wholly-owned subsidiaries; Ecomar
Alpha SAS, Ecomar Bravo SAS, Ecomar Charlie SAS and Ecomar Delta SAS, all of which are incorporated in France.
In connection with the Ecomar Joint Venture, we have ordered four newbuild MR vessels from GSI (as defined below). The shipbuilding contracts relating to these vessels were
originally entered into between Hafnia SG Pte. Ltd. and the yard but were novated to the Ecomar Joint Venture in October 2023 and subsequently novated from Ecomar Shipholding SAS
to each of Ecomar Alpha SAS, Ecomar Bravo SAS, Ecomar Charlie SAS and Ecomar Delta SAS in June 2024. In accordance with the agreement under which the Ecomar Joint Venture was
established, we and Socatra have agreed to provide shareholder loans in proportion to our interest to finance the newbuild program in the Ecomar Joint Venture. Each of the four vessels
in the Ecomar Joint Venture will be time chartered to Total on long-term time charters. As at the date of this Annual Report, one of the four vessels has been delivered to the Ecomar Joint
Venture with the delivery of two additional vessels expected in 2025 and one in 2026.
Seascale Energy Joint Venture
On February 19, 2025, we entered into an agreement Cargill to form the joint venture Seascale Energy Pte. Ltd. (the “Seascale Energy Joint Venture”) that will combine the bunker
business of both companies. Subject to obtaining regulatory approval, we and Cargill will own 50% of the outstanding equity in the Seascale Energy Joint Venture. The Seascale Energy
Joint Venture is incorporated in Singapore and will be controlled under a dual-CEO structure where both we and Cargill are represented. Seascale Energy Joint Venture is expected to
become one of the ten largest bunker procurement companies. Subject to obtaining required regulatory approval, the Seascale Joint Venture is scheduled to commence operations in the
second quarter of 2025. Over 25 team members from Cargill and Hafnia will operate in the Seascale Energy Joint Venture from offices in Singapore, Geneva, Copenhagen and Houston.
Alternative Investments
In addition to investments in vessels, we have made and will from time to time make alternative investments, such as investments in start-ups or investments in certain projects or
companies. In the past, we have for example invested in projects relating to the production of green energy and projects regarding development of technologies which can possibly be
used in our business in a short, medium, or long term perspective. We do not consider these investments a material part of our business.

B. Business Overview
We are one of the world’s largest operators of chemical and product tankers and provide transportation of oil and oil products to leading international oil companies and national oil
companies, major chemical companies, as well as trading and utility companies. The vessels in our Combined Fleet primarily transport petroleum products and chemicals and operate
globally and throughout the whole year. See below for additional information on our Combined Fleet.
Competitive Landscape
We operate in markets that are highly competitive and highly influenced by supply and demand. We compete against other owners and operators of chemical and product tankers in
a market where ownership is highly fragmented and our competitors include other publicly listed companies, major oil companies, state-controlled entities and private ship-owners.
We compete for charters on the basis of price, vessel location, size, age and condition of the product tankers as well as our reputation as an operator. Competition is also affected
by the availability of other vessels which can compete in the trades in which we engage.
Seasonality
We operate the vessels in our Combined Fleet in markets that have historically had seasonal variations in demand, and as a result thereof, variations in charter rates. Seasonal peaks
in demand for oil and products we transport can broadly be classified into two main categories; (i) increased demand prior to the winters in the northern hemisphere due to increases in
heating oil consumption and (ii) increased demand for gasoline prior to summer driving season in the United States. Unpredictable weather conditions and variations in oil supply may
disrupt our scheduling. These seasonal variations may result in quarter-to-quarter volatility in our operating results as many of the vessels in our Combined Fleet operate in the spot
market.
Our Business
As at December 31, 2024, we operated a Combined Fleet of 207 vessels (including the Hafnia Fleet (Hafnia Vessels, TC Vessels and JV Vessels), Pool Vessels and other commercially
managed third-party vessels) of which 103 are Hafnia Vessels; 10 are TC Vessels and 16 are JV Vessels (including four newbuilds ordered in our Ecomar Joint Venture). All Hafnia Vessels
and TC Vessels are owned, leased (sale and lease-back arrangement) or time chartered-in by our subsidiaries. We have three vessel-owning joint ventures which as at December 31, 2024
operated 12 JV Vessels and had four newbuilds on order. In addition to our Hafnia Fleet, as at December 31, 2024, we operated 75 Pool Vessels owned by third parties through our Pools
and from time to time commercially manage additional vessels for third parties.
We have in-house commercial and technical vessel management operations. We provide in-house commercial management to all of the vessels in our Combined Fleet apart from the
vessels in the Andromeda Joint Venture and, as at December 31, 2024, provided in-house technical management for 57 of our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels with the remaining 58 Hafnia
Vessels and JV Vessels being managed by third-party technical managers. The vessels in our Hafnia Fleet primarily trade through our Pools; however, we charter certain Hafnia Vessels,
JV Vessels and TC Vessels directly to customers on time charters or voyage charters.

Our Combined Fleet operates globally, with a total carrying capacity of 8.1 million dwt as at December 31, 2024, and when compared to worldwide dwt as at April 1, 2025 as further
detailed in the subsection “Industry” below, has a current market share of 4.3% of operated product tankers worldwide within the segments in which we operate. As at December 31,
2024, the vessels in our Hafnia Fleet had an average age of approximately 3.9 years (LR2), 9.1 years (LR1), 9.3 years (MR) and 9.5 years (Handy), compared to the world LR2, LR1, MR,
and Handy fleets’ average age as at April 1, 2025 of approximately 10.9, 15.5, 13.3 and 17.5 years, respectively.
The vessels in our Hafnia Fleet are divided into four main operating segments which are based on the size and type of the vessels:
• Long Range II (“LR2”) (85,000 – 124,999 dwt)
• Long Range I (“LR1”) (55,000 – 84,999 dwt)
• Medium Range (“MR”) (40,000 – 54,999 dwt)
• Handy size (“Handy”) (25,000 – 39,999 dwt)
Additionally, we have in recent years from time to time, including through our Pools, operated vessels in two additional market segments:
• Stainless steel 25k (“Stainless” or “Chemical-Stainless”) (25,000 dwt)
• Small, Intermediate and City tankers, all of which we jointly refer to as “Specialised” size (5,000-19,999 dwt).
The vessels in the Hafnia Fleet operate in all of the above-mentioned main operating segments (i.e., not in the Stainless and Specialised segments).
As at December 31, 2024, our Combined Fleet consists of the following vessels:

The Pools
As at December 31, 2024, we operated as a pool manager for ten commercial tanker pools: (i) the Small pool, (ii) the Intermediate pool, (iii) the City pool ((i), (ii) and (iii) together, the
“Specialised Pool”), (iv) the Handy pool for Handy vessels (the “Handy Pool”), (v) the Chemical-Handy pool for certain Handy vessels capable of carrying chemical products (the
“Chemical-Handy Pool”), (vi) the MR pool for MR vessels (the “MR Pool”), (vii) the Chemical-MR pool for certain MR vessels capable of carrying chemical products (the “Chemical-MR
Pool”), (viii) the LR1 pool for LR1 vessels (the “LR1 Pool”), (ix) the Panamax pool for Panamax vessels (the “Panamax Pool”) and (x) the LR2 pool for LR2 vessels (the “LR2 Pool”) (each
of the Specialised Pool, the Handy Pool, the Chemical-Handy Pool, the MR Pool, the Chemical-MR Pool, the LR1 Pool, the LR2 Pool and the Panamax Pool, a “Pool”, and together
collectively known as the “Pools”).
In the Pools, we commercially manage Pool Vessels (i.e., vessels owned and/or operated by third parties which are commercially managed through our Pools) in addition to vessels
from the Hafnia Fleet.
As at December 31, 2024, the Specialised Pool comprised 16 vessels, all of which were Pool Vessels; the Handy Pool comprised 12 vessels of which eight were Pool Vessels; the
Chemical-Handy Pool comprised 18 vessels of which one was a Pool Vessel; the MR Pool comprised 71 vessels of which 36 were Pool Vessels; the Chemical-MR Pool comprised nine
vessels, all of which were Hafnia Vessels; the LR1 Pool comprised 34 vessels of which six were Pool Vessels; the Panamax Pool comprised eight vessels of which five were Pool Vessels;
and the LR2 Pool comprised nine vessels of which three were Pool Vessels. We have Hafnia Vessels operating in each of the Pools except the Specialised Pool.
Pool Agreements
We operate the Pools through our pool managing entities, Hafnia Pools Pte. Ltd. and Hafnia Middle East DMCC, both of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of ours (each a “Pool
Manager”). The Pools are operated on the basis of ten separate pool agreements, which are amended from time to time (the “Pool Agreements”). These Pool Agreements are entered into
between the respective Pool Manager and the relevant pool participants. With respect to our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels, the relevant Hafnia entities with ownership (or disponent
ownership) of such vessels may also constitute pool participants.
Until February 2023, we operated all the Pools as “agent-to-owner” pools, where the Pool Manager entered into contracts for the employment of the vessels as an agent to the
vessels’ respective owners. In February 2023, we changed the Handy Pool, MR Pool, LR1 Pool and the LR2 Pool to a ‘disponent-owner’ model as we believed it would lead to an
increase in efficiency and in our access to working capital facilities. We are in the process of transitioning the Chemical-Handy Pool and the Chemical-MR Pool to the ‘disponent-owner’-
model and expect this process to be completed during 2025. In connection with the transition of these two Pools to the ‘disponent-owner’ model, Hafnia Chemical Tankers Pte. Ltd. will
replace Hafnia Middle East DMCC as pool manager for the Chemical-Handy and Chemical-MR Pools. When the transition is fully complete, Hafnia Middle East DMCC will no longer be
the pool manager for any of our Pools. We are not currently planning to transition the Specialised Pool from the ‘agent-to-owner’ model to the ‘disponent-owner’ model. The Panamax
Pool was a disponent-owner Pool from its establishment.
The ‘disponent owner’ of a vessel is the person who contractually has right to use and possession of the vessel, either as owner or charterer of the vessel. Certain of the Pools are,
as stated above, structured as ‘disponent-owner’-pools where the Pool Manager is the time charterer of the vessels in the pool. Therefore, in addition to the relevant Pool Agreement,
each pool participant enters into a time charter with the relevant Pool Manager when entering their vessel in a ‘disponent-owner’-model Pool. On this basis, the relevant Pool Manager
contractually becomes the disponent owner of each of the vessels in the ‘disponent-owner’ model pools and enters into contracts for the employment of the vessels in a Pool in its own
name.
Pursuant to the Pool Agreements, each vessel is allocated a number of ‘pool points’. A vessel’s pool points are based on its earning capabilities (which is largely defined by its fuel
consumption) and may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Pool Agreements if, for example, the earning capacity of the vessel changes. In each pool, aggregated earnings of
all vessels are, as a general rule, distributed between all participating vessels pro rata to their pool points. Certain exceptions apply, for example, in respect of time charters exceeding 12
months, where each pool participant can elect whether to opt-in or opt-out of earnings (and losses) relating to that time charter.
Though a Pool Manager of a Pool under the ‘disponent-owner’ model has certain rights as time charterer with regard to employment and potential liabilities in connection with such
role, the Pool Manager does not recognise TCE income from any Pool Vessel or JV Vessel operating in the Pools, where the relevant pool participant that is a third party owner or joint
venture company, respectively, recognises the relevant TCE income. None of the Pool Managers benefit directly from gains or losses of revenue generated by use of the Pool Vessels or
JV Vessels, receiving only management fees. Such fees are only a small percentage of the earnings generated by vessels in the Pool.

Table of Contents
A pool participant may only withdraw from the pool under certain conditions and shall give notice to the relevant Pool Manager of such withdrawal in accordance with the terms of
the relevant Pool Agreement.
Pool participants are fully responsible for the financing, insurance (except insurance related to procurement of bunkers), maintenance and technical management, including
manning, of their vessels.
When the Pool Manager is acting as disponent owner of the Pool Vessels in the Pools structured as ‘disponent-owner’ pools, the Pool Manager is contractually exposed to certain
claims, including technical, operational, freight, demurrage and charterer’s liabilities as well as credit risks in relation to the pool participants, its customers, and in relation to letters of
indemnity received by the relevant Pool Manager on the discharge of cargo. Some of these risks may be substantial, including, but not limited to, claims on bills of lading if a customer
defaults or if a customer is sanctioned while the customer has cargo on board a vessel, in which case the vessel may not earn income until the issues are resolved. The Pool Agreements
for the disponent-owner Pools include provisions to mitigate these risks; however, there can be no assurance that the risks are or can be fully mitigated. In addition, as discussed above,
the Pool Manager of a disponent-owner Pool contractually passes all TCE income/losses on Pool Vessels and JV Vessels to the pool participants.
In our LR1 Pool, the vessels are separated into an A-pool and a B-pool. The B-pool comprises vessels which are 15 years or older with or without ballast water treatment systems or
which are under 15 years and do not have ballast water treatment systems. The A-pool and B-pool are not separate pools but rather notional constructs which exist in order to separate
the vessels in the LR1 Pool for the purpose of sharing of revenue, expenses, income and claims arising solely in relation to the vessels in the ‘B-pool’ in the LR1 Pool.
Management of vessels in the Pools
The Pools comprise Pool Vessels, Hafnia Vessels, JV Vessels, and TC Vessels. The vessels in the Pools are employed through a variety of maritime transportation arrangements
based on the needs of our customers including, inter alia, contracts of affreightment, time charters and voyage charters. These types of contracts are further described below in the
section “Commercial Trading of the Combined Fleet.”
Management of the Pools
Each Pool is managed by a pool board, comprising up to two representatives from each pool participant (the “Pool Board”). The Pool Board is the governing body for the Pool,
managing the responsibility for the overall strategic direction of the Pools. All decisions and resolutions of the respective Pool Boards must be approved by at least 2/3 of the pool
participants and no less than a 2/3 majority of votes cast. Each pool participant has one vote per vessel in the relevant Pool. The Pool Board meets approximately every six months and
can hold extraordinary meetings if any pool participant so requests. The Pool Board can decide on all matters relating to the Pool Agreement and can additionally give guidelines to the
Pool Manager as to how the Pool Manager shall perform its duties. Certain decisions cannot be taken by the Pool Manager without the prior approval of the Pool Board, including, but
not limited to, the committal of a vessel in the pool on time charters or consecutive voyage charter which will or may at the option of the charterer exceed 12 months (plus 30 days option)
or the Pool Manager entering into contracts of affreightment for periods longer than 12 months, any changes to the pool points of a vessel in the Pool, and/or the approval of new pool
participants and new pool vessels.
The Pool Board is complemented by the relevant Pool Manager, which as pool manager represents the Pools in external relations and oversees the day-to-day commercial operation
under the authority of the Pool Board. The Pool Manager has authority to enter into employment and other material agreements for the vessels in the relevant Pool, including forward
freight agreements and bunker hedging agreements transactions on behalf of pool participants in accordance with the terms of the relevant Pool Agreement. Additionally, the Pool
Manager performs marketing, bunker purchasing, and commercial operation of the vessels in accordance with the terms of the relevant Pool Agreement.

Commercial Management
From time to time we will, in addition to commercial management of third-party vessels through the Pools, perform commercial management of third-party vessels outside of the
Pools. As at December 31, 2024, we commercially managed three third-party vessels in addition to the Pool Vessels.
Commercial management of third-party vessels is typically only used when the vessels in question only need employment for a limited period of time, for example, between other
employment types or before being delivered to new owners. Because the period of commercial management is short, it is generally not practicable to place the vessel in a Pool as this
involves a much more intensive and time consuming process, whereas it is much easier to establish a commercial management structure for a single vessel. On occasion, we may also use
the commercial management structure to test-employ tonnage which may be a candidate for entering a Pool, but where we want to satisfy ourselves that the vessel in question is able to
trade properly in the market before recommending it for pool entry.
When vessels are commercially managed by us, we act as agent to the vessel’s owner (registered owner or disponent owner, as the case may be), not as principal. Owners are
responsible for providing required working capital to us, so we have no outlays for vessel related expenses from our accounts.
Commercial trading of the Combined Fleet
Vessels are employed in the market through a number of different commercial arrangements. The general terms normally found in these types of contracts are described below.
• Voyage charters in the spot market. The spot market generally refers to the segment of the market where vessels are employed for a single voyage. A vessel earns income from
each individual voyage and the owner pays the voyage expenses, including bunker and port costs. Spot market pricing, which can be volatile, is influenced by a number of
factors, including the number of competing vessels, the number of cargoes available, oil pricing and arbitrage, worldwide events, and weather. Idle time between voyages is
possible depending on the availability of cargo and positioning of the vessel. Under a spot market voyage charter, the vessel owner pays for both the voyage expenses (less
specified amounts covered by the contract) and vessel operating costs.
• Time charter. Under a time charter, a vessel is chartered to customers for a fixed period of time at rates that are generally fixed, but may contain a variable component based on
inflation, interest rates or changes in current market rates. Under a time charter, the owner operates the vessel and is responsible for crewing and arranging for technical
management for the vessel. The owner also bears other operating expenses, such as repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, lube oil, communications expenses and
technical management fees, whereas the charterer bears voyage expenses such as port costs and bunkers.
• Contract of affreightment (“COA”). A COA is a contract for the carriage of a specific volume of cargo with multiple voyages over the same route and over a specified period of
time which can span a number of years but in most cases runs for 12 months. A COA does not designate the specific vessel or voyage schedules that will transport the cargo,
thereby providing both the charterer and the owner greater flexibility than a typical charter alone. The charterer has the flexibility to determine the individual voyage scheduling
at a future date and the shipowner may use different vessels to perform the individual voyages. Under this contract arrangement, all of the vessels’ operating, voyage and
capital costs are borne by the owner while the freight rate normally is a per-cargo-ton basis with a minimum cargo quantity for every lifting guaranteed by the charterer.

Table of Contents
• Consecutive voyage contract (“CVC”). Under a CVC, the shipowner provides one vessel for multiple voyages to transport a certain amount of cargo within a specified period
covering a specified trade from a fixed place to fixed destinations designated by the customer. All of the vessel’s operating, voyage and capital costs are borne by the owner.
The freight rate normally is agreed on a fixed rate basis but can also be floating according to a pre-agreed index. We do not have any CVC arrangements in place.
• Bareboat charter. Under a bareboat charter, the vessel owner is paid a monthly rate for a certain period of time during which the charterer is responsible for the operating
expenses and voyage expenses of the vessel and for the full management of the vessel. Whereas our Pools employ participating vessels by means of voyage charters in the
spot market, time charters and COAs, bareboat charters are outside the scope of the Pool Agreements.
Our chartering department is responsible for the development, marketing and negotiation of the employment contracts for all of the vessels in our Combined Fleet. Contract
negotiations are done directly with our clients as well as through shipbrokers, and in most cases a shipbroker will be nominated subsequently when negotiations are done directly with
our clients. Our chartering department is also responsible for chartering-in tonnage on spot voyages to cover certain cargo commitments as well as time chartering-in vessels for
arbitrage profits derived through offsetting time charter-out contracts on owned tonnage for longer periods. All contracts are negotiated and concluded by our chartering department on
behalf of our Pools under instructions and authority from the Pool Board and our Chief Executive Officer in accordance with our internal approval procedures.
Time charter-out portfolio
As at December 31, 2024, we had 16 Hafnia Vessels and six JV Vessels trading outside the Pools and entered into time charter contracts with customers for periods longer than six
months. Additionally, our Ecomar Joint Venture has entered into long-term time charters for four newbuild JV Vessels which will commence upon delivery of the vessels. The newbuilds
will be delivered to the charterer when we have taken delivery from the shipyard. One of these newbuilds, Ecomar Gascogne, was delivered in January 2025.
The following table presents key information pertaining to the time charter contracts (including options) as at December 31, 2024:

Environmental and Other Regulations in the Shipping Industry
Our business and the operation of our Combined Fleet are subject to various international treaties and conventions and to the applicable local, national, and subnational laws and
regulations of the countries in which the vessels operate or are registered. Such laws and regulations cover a variety of topics, including, but not limited, to air pollution, water pollution,
waste management, protection of natural resources, safety and health and environmental protection including storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of hazardous
and non-hazardous materials. Compliance with such laws, regulations and other requirements may entail significant expense, including vessel modifications and implementation of
certain operating procedures.
A variety of government and private entities subject the vessels in our Combined Fleet to both scheduled and unscheduled inspections of compliance with these laws and
regulations. These entities include the local port authorities (applicable national authorities such as the U.S. Coast Guard (“USCG”), harbour master or equivalent), classification
societies, flag state administrations (countries of registry) and charterers as well as terminal operators. Certain of these entities require us to obtain governmental or quasi-governmental
permits, licenses, approvals, certificates, and other authorisations before our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels may operate or conduct certain activities. Failure to comply with these laws or
to obtain the necessary business and technical permits, licenses, approvals, and certificates could require us to incur substantial costs or result in sanctions including suspension
and/or freezing of the operation of one or more of our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels, suspension and/or freezing of our business and responsibility for all damages arising from any
violation. For the avoidance of doubt, all the vessels in our Combined Fleet are subject to the aforementioned requirements to obtain relevant permits, licenses, approvals, certifications
and other authorisations, not only our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels; however, generally we will not be the entity required to obtain such permits, licenses, approvals, certifications and
other authorisations for TC Vessels and/or Pool Vessels and/or other vessels where we are the commercial manager or time charterer.
Governments and other regulators may periodically revise their environmental laws and regulations and other laws and regulations applicable to our industry and business or adopt
new ones, and the effects of new or revised laws and regulations on our operations cannot be predicted. Although we believe that the operation of our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels is
substantially in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and that we have all permits, licenses and certificates required for the operation of our Hafnia Vessels and
JV Vessels, future noncompliance or failure to maintain necessary permits or approvals could require us to incur substantial costs or temporarily suspend the operation of one or more of
our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels. There can be no assurance that additional significant costs and liabilities will not be required to be incurred to comply with such current and future
laws and regulations, or that such laws and regulations will not have a material effect on our operations, including, but not limited to, any new laws and regulations relating to climate
change. In addition, even without such new regulations, our business may be indirectly affected to the extent that climate change results in sea level changes or more intense weather
events. New laws and regulations may also apply to our customers, including oil and gas exploration and production companies, which may impact demand for our services.
Compliance with environmental and other regulations applicable to vessels is generally the obligation of the “company” as this term is defined in the ISM Code (defined and
described below). The “company” is a vessel’s registered owner unless the responsibility for operation of the vessel has been transferred to another party through a contractual
arrangement such as a bareboat charter or a technical management agreement. For our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels, the “company” is either our internal technical management entity
BW Fleet Management Pte. Ltd. or an external technical manager as described in “Item 4. Information on the Company – B. Business Overview – Technical Management” below. For the
TC Vessels and the Pool Vessels, the “company” is either the vessels’ registered owners, a bareboat charterer of a vessel or a technical manager. We do not provide technical
management services for vessels owned by third parties; however, we do perform technical management for some of the JV Vessels.

Compliance with environmental and other regulations is in some circumstances not the obligation of the “company” and may continue to be the obligation of the registered owner
regardless of whether a bareboat charter or technical management agreement has been entered into or be the obligation of the commercial manager or operator of the vessel.
International environmental treaties and conventions as well as U.S. environmental laws and regulations that apply to the operation of vessels are described below. Other countries,
including member countries of the European Union, in which we operate or in which vessels in our Combined Fleet are registered, have or may in the future have laws and regulations
that are similar, or more stringent, in nature to the U.S. laws referenced below. A particularly significant organisation in the shipping industry is the IMO, the United Nations agency for
maritime safety and the prevention of pollution by vessels. The IMO has adopted a number of regulations relating to the prevention of pollution by vessels, including MARPOL, which
establishes environmental standards relating to, e.g., oil leakage and oil spills, garbage management, sewage, air emissions, handling and disposal of noxious liquids. MARPOL applies to
tankers, among other vessels, and is broken into six Annexes, each of which regulates a different source of pollution. Additionally, IMO has adopted SOLAS, which is intended to
specify minimum standards for the construction, equipment, and operations of ships. An important entity within IMO is the MEPC, which is the entity addressing environmental issues
under IMO. MEPC holds two sessions a year and a reference to, for example, MEPC 82, is a reference to MEPC’s 82nd session.
Water Pollution
International
The IMO and other international bodies have implemented various strategies, measures, codes, conventions, and other initiatives relating to water pollution which have an effect
on our industry, including, but not limited to, the following:
a. International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk
Bulk carriage of chemicals is covered by regulations in Chapter VII of SOLAS (Carriage of Dangerous Goods) and Annex II of MARPOL (Regulations for the Control of Pollution by
Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk). Both SOLAS and MARPOL require chemical tankers constructed after July 1, 1986 to comply with the International Code for the Construction and
Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk
(as amended, the “IBC Code”). The IBC Code provides international standards for the transportation in bulk by sea of
Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk (as amended, the “IBC Code”). The IBC Code provides international standards for the transportation in bulk by sea of
dangerous chemicals and noxious liquid substances, including by prescribing design and construction standards of ships and their equipment, and also covers marine pollution aspects.
Ships subject to the IBC Code are designed to one of three standards: type 1, type 2 or type 3, where type 1 prescribes the strictest requirements and type 2 and type 3 prescribe
progressively less strict requirements. Additionally, under the IBC Code, those of our vessels carrying chemicals are required to obtain a certificate of fitness for the carriage of
dangerous chemicals in bulk. All of our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels requiring a certificate under the IBC Code have obtained such a certificate.
b. International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage
The IMO adopted the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage in 1969 (the “CLC”). The CLC was revised subsequently by the protocol of 1976, the
protocol of 1984 and the protocol of 1992 (the “1992 Protocol”). The 1992 Protocol widened the scope of the CLC in certain areas. Parties to the 1992 Protocol are no longer parties to the
CLC; however, there are a number of states which are party to the CLC, and which have not yet ratified the 1992 Protocol. The CLC governs pollution damage resulting from spills of
persistent oils (i) caused by oil ships actually laden with oil or on first voyage after carriage of oil and have oil residues from a previous voyage and, if the 1992 Protocol applies, (ii)
caused by ships constructed or adapted for the carriage of oil in bulk as cargo.
Under the CLC, a vessel’s registered owner may be strictly liable for oil pollution damage caused in the territory of contracting states, including territorial waters, unless the owner
can prove certain specific exceptions apply. The 1992 Protocol extends the applicability of the CLC to damage caused within 200 nautical miles from the coast of the contracting states.
The CLC includes specific limitations of liability expressed in the International Monetary Fund currency unit, Special Drawing Rights. The specific limitations vary depending on whether
the state where the damage occurred is party to the CLC or the 1992 Protocol. The right to limit liability is forfeited under the CLC where the oil pollution is caused by the owner’s actual
fault and, under the 1992 Protocol, where the spill is caused by the owner’s intentional or reckless act or omission where the shipowner knew pollution damage would probably result.
The CLC requires ships over 2,000 tons covered by it to maintain insurance or other financial security in sums equivalent to an owner’s total liability for a single incident. We have
protection and indemnity insurance for environmental incidents. All of our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels are in possession of a state-issued certificate attesting that the required
insurance coverage under the CLC and 1992 Protocol is in place.

c. International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution
The International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution (the “Bunker Convention”) entered into force on November 21, 2008. The Bunker Convention provides a
liability, compensation, and compulsory insurance system for the victims of oil pollution damage caused by spills of bunker oil. The Bunker Convention imposes strict liability on
shipowners (including the registered owner, bareboat charterer, manager, or operator) for pollution damage in the territorial waters, including the territorial sea and exclusive economic
zones, of a state party caused by the escape or discharge of bunker fuel. Registered owners of any sea going vessel and seaborne craft over 1,000 gross tonnage of any type
whatsoever, and registered in a state party, or entering or leaving a port in the territory of a state party, will be required to maintain insurance which meets the requirements of the Bunker
Convention and to obtain a certificate issued by a state party attesting that such insurance is in force. The state party-issued certificate must be carried on board at all times. P&I Clubs
in the International Group issue the required Bunker Convention “Blue Cards” to provide evidence that there is insurance in place that meets the Bunker Convention requirements and
thereby enable signatory states to issue certificates. All of our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels have received “Blue Cards” from their P&I Club and are in possession of a state-issued
certificate attesting that the required insurance cover under the Bunker Convention is in place.
d. International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments
The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments (the “Ballast Water Management Convention”) aims to prevent the spread of
harmful aquatic organisms from one region to another, by establishing standards and procedures for the management and control of ships’ ballast water and sediments. The Ballast
Water Management Convention’s implementing regulations call for a phased introduction of mandatory ballast water exchange requirements, to be replaced in time with mandatory
concentration limits, and require all ships to carry a ballast water record book and an international ballast water management certificate. The Ballast Water Management Convention was
ratified in September 2016 and entered into force in September 2017. The IMO has imposed updated guidelines for ballast water management systems specifying the maximum amount of
viable organisms allowed to be discharged from a vessel’s ballast water (the so-called D-2 standard) and sets out specific deadlines for each vessel’s compliance with this standard. All
vessels must have met D-2 standard no later than September 8, 2024, but for many vessels, the deadline for meeting the D-2 standard was earlier than September 8, 2024. Amendments to
the Ballast Water Management Convention came into force on June 1, 2022, that include changes to the form of the Ballast Water Management certificate and the rules requiring
commissioning testing of ballast water management systems at the ship’s initial survey or during an additional survey for retrofits. This testing is required before the Ballast Water
Management certificate for D-2 standard is issued but does not apply to ships that already have a certified ballast water management system installed. It is anticipated that during 2025,
two IMO resolutions will come into force specifying a new format for the ballast water record book and mandating approval of electronic ballast water record books.
All Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels have ballast water treatment systems installed and have ballast water management certificates.
e. International Convention on Liability and Compensation for Damage in Connection with the Carriage of Hazardous and Noxious Substances by Sea
In 1996, the IMO adopted the International Convention on Liability and Compensation for Damage in Connection with the Carriage of Hazardous and Noxious Substances by Sea
(the “HNS Convention”). The aim of the HNS Convention is to ensure adequate, prompt and effective compensation for damage resulting from shipping accidents involving hazardous
and noxious substances. The HNS Convention has not yet been ratified by the required number of states. If the HNS Convention enters into force, we could be required to incur
additional costs or capital expenses to be compliant.
United States
The United States has implemented various strategies, measures, laws, regulations, and other initiatives relating to water pollution which have an effect on our industry including,
but not limited to, the following:

a. Oil Pollution Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
The U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (the “OPA”) established an extensive regulatory and liability regime for the protection and cleanup of the environment from oil spills. The OPA
affects all owners and operators whose vessels trade or operate within the United States, its territories and possessions, or whose vessels operate in the waters of the U.S., which
includes the U.S. territorial seas and its 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (the “CERCLA”)
applies to the discharge of hazardous substances whether on land or at sea. These laws may affect us because we carry oil products, petroleum products, chemicals and other liquids, as
wells as oil as fuel and lubricants for our engines, and the discharge of these substances could cause an environmental hazard. Under the OPA, vessel owners and operators are
“responsible parties” and are jointly, severally and strictly liable (unless the spill results solely from the act or omission of a third party, an act of God or an act of war) for all containment
and clean-up costs and other damages arising from discharges or threatened discharges of oil from their vessels, including bunkers. The OPA defines these damages broadly to include:
• injury to, destruction or loss of, or loss of use of, natural resources and related assessment costs;
• injury to, or economic losses resulting from, the destruction of real and personal property;
• net loss of taxes, royalties, rents, fees, or net profit revenues resulting from injury, destruction, or loss of real or personal property, or natural resources;
• loss of subsistence use of natural resources that are injured, destroyed, or lost;
• lost profits or impairment of earning capacity due to injury, destruction, or loss of real or personal property or natural resources; and
• net cost of increased or additional public services necessitated by removal activities following a discharge of oil, such as protection from fire, safety, or health hazards.
The limits of the OPA liability are the greater of $2,500 per gross ton or $21,521,000 for any tanker, other than single-hull tank vessels, over 3,000 gross tons (subject to possible
adjustment for inflation). However, these limits of liability do not apply where the incident is caused by violation of applicable U.S. federal safety, construction, or operating regulations,
or by the responsible party’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. These limits likewise do not apply if the responsible party fails or refuses to report the incident or to cooperate and
assist in connection with the substance removal activities. The OPA specifically permits individual states to impose their own liability regimes with regard to oil pollution incidents
occurring within their boundaries, and some states have enacted legislation providing for unlimited liability for discharge of pollutants within their waters. In some cases, states, which
have enacted their own legislation, have not yet issued implementing regulations defining shipowners’ responsibilities under these laws.
The CERCLA, which also applies to owners and operators of vessels, contains a similar liability regime and provides for recovery of clean-up and removal costs and the imposition
of natural resource damages for releases of “hazardous substances” which as defined in the CERCLA does not include oil. Liability under the CERCLA is limited to the greater of $300 per
gross ton or $0.5 million for each release from vessels not carrying hazardous substances as cargo or residue, and the greater of $300 per gross ton or $5 million for each release from
vessels carrying hazardous substances as cargo or residue. As with the OPA, these limits of liability do not apply where the incident is caused by violation of applicable U.S. federal
safety, construction or operating regulations, or by the responsible party’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct or if the responsible party fails or refuses to report the incident or to
cooperate and assist in connection with the substance removal activities. The OPA and CERCLA each preserve the right to recover damages under existing law, including maritime tort
law. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with the OPA, the CERCLA and all applicable state regulations in the ports where our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels call.
The OPA and CERCLA both require owners and operators of vessels to establish and maintain with the USCG evidence of financial responsibility sufficient to meet the maximum
amount of liability to which the particular responsible person may be subject. Vessel owners and operators may satisfy their financial responsibility obligations by providing a proof of
insurance, a surety bond, qualification as a self-insurer or a guaranty. Under OPA regulations, an owner or operator of more than one vessel is required to demonstrate evidence of
financial responsibility for the entire fleet in an amount equal only to the financial responsibility requirement of the vessel having the greatest maximum liability under the OPA/CERCLA.
Each of our ship-owning subsidiaries that has vessels trading in U.S. waters has applied for and obtained from the U.S. Coast Guard National Pollution Funds Center three-year
certificates of financial responsibility (“COFRs”), supported by guarantees purchased from an insurance-based provider. As at the date of this Annual Report, all Hafnia Vessels and JV
Vessels have a COFR from U.S.

b. Clean Water Act
The U.S. Clean Water Act (the “CWA”) prohibits the discharge of oil, hazardous substances and ballast water in U.S. navigable waters unless authorised by a duly issued permit or
exemption and imposes strict liability in the form of penalties for any unauthorised discharges. The CWA also imposes substantial liability for the costs of removal, remediation and
damages and complements the remedies available under the OPA and CERCLA. In addition, many U.S. states that border a navigable waterway have enacted environmental pollution
laws that impose strict liability on a person for removal costs and damages resulting from a discharge of oil or a release of a hazardous substance. These laws may be more stringent than
U.S. federal law.
c. Vessel General Permit for Discharges Incidental to the Normal Operation of Vessels and Vessel Incidental Discharge Act
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) regulates the discharge of ballast and bilge water and other substances in U.S. waters under the CWA. The EPA regulations
historically have required vessels 79 feet in length or longer (other than commercial fishing vessels and recreational vessels) to obtain and comply with a permit that regulates ballast
water discharges and other discharges incidental to the normal operation of certain vessels within U.S. waters.
In March 2013, the EPA issued the Vessel General Permit for Discharges Incidental to the Normal Operation of Vessels (“VGP”). The 2013 VGP focuses on authorising discharges
incidental to operations of commercial vessels and contains ballast water discharge limits for most vessels to reduce the risk of invasive species in U.S. waters, more stringent
requirements for exhaust gas scrubbers and the use of environmentally acceptable lubricants.
In December 2018, the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act (“VIDA”) was signed into law and restructured the EPA and the USCG programs for regulating incidental discharges from
vessels. Rather than requiring CWA permits, the discharges will be regulated under a new CWA Section 312(p) establishing Uniform National Standards for Discharges Incidental to
Normal Operation of Vessels. Under VIDA, VGP provisions and existing USCG regulations will be phased out over a period of approximately four years and replaced with National
Standards of Performance (“NSPs”) to be developed by EPA and implemented and enforced by the USCG. Under VIDA, the EPA was directed to develop the NSPs by December 2020 and
the USCG is directed to develop its corresponding regulations two years after EPA develops the NSPs. On October 26, 2020, the EPA issued proposed regulations to establish NSPs,
including general discharge standards of performance, covering general operation and maintenance, biofouling management, and oil management, and specific discharge standards
applicable to specified pieces of equipment and systems.
The 2013 VGP was scheduled to expire in December 2018; however, under VIDA, the provisions of the 2013 VGP will remain in place until the new EPA and USCG regulations are in
place, which remain outstanding. Pursuant to the requirements in the VGP, vessel owners and operators must meet twenty-five sets of state-specific requirements as the CWA’s 401
certification process allows tribes and states to impose their own requirements for vessels operating within their waters. Vessels operating in multiple jurisdictions could face potentially
conflicting conditions specific to each jurisdiction that they travel through.
d. National Invasive Species Act
The USCG regulations adopted under the U.S. National Invasive Species Act require the USCG’s approval of any technology before it is placed on a vessel. As a result, the USCG
has provided waivers to vessels which could not install the then as-yet unapproved technology. In May 2016, the USCG published a review of the practicability of implementing a more
stringent ballast water discharge standard. The results concluded that technology to achieve a significant improvement in ballast water treatment efficacy could not be practically
implemented. In February 2016, the USCG issued a new rule amending the Coast Guard’s ballast water management record-keeping requirements. Effective February 22, 2016, vessels with
ballast tanks operating exclusively on voyages between ports or places within a single Captain of the Port zone (an area under the command of an individual Coast Guard officer
designated by the Coast Guard Commandant to enforce the relevant regulations and policies in such area), were required to submit an annual report of their ballast water management
practices. Further, under the amended requirements, vessels may submit their reports after arrival at the port of destination instead of prior to arrival. As discussed above, under VIDA,
existing USCG ballast water management regulations will be phased out over a period of approximately four years and replaced with NSPs to be developed by EPA and implemented and
enforced by the USCG.

European Union
In October 2009, the European Union amended a directive to impose criminal sanctions for illicit ship-source discharges of polluting substances, including minor discharges, if
committed with intent, recklessly or with serious negligence and the discharges individually or in the aggregate result in deterioration of the quality of water. Aiding and abetting the
discharge of a polluting substance may also lead to criminal penalties. The directive applies to all types of vessels, irrespective of their flag, but certain exceptions apply to warships or
where human safety or that of the ship is in danger. Criminal liability for pollution may result in substantial penalties or fines and increased civil liability claims.
In June 2023, the European Commission presented legislative proposals to modernise EU rules on maritime safety and prevention of water pollution; including extension of port
state controls, proposals to prevent illegal discharges into European seas, by extending the scope of prohibitions to cover a wider range of polluting substances, and to strengthen the
legal framework for penalties and their application. The proposals have not yet been adopted but these or other new regulations regarding water pollution may have an effect on our
business in the future.
Anti-Fouling
AFS Convention
Anti-fouling systems (“AFS”), such as paint or surface treatment, are used to coat the bottom of vessels to prevent the attachment of molluscs and other sea life to the hulls of
vessels. Our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels are subject to the IMO’s International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-fouling Systems on Ships (the “AFS Convention”) which
prohibits the use of organotin compound coatings in anti-fouling systems. Vessels of over 400 gross tons engaged in international voyages must obtain an International Anti-fouling
System Certificate (“IAFS Certificate”) and undergo an initial survey before the vessel is put into service or when the anti-fouling systems are altered or replaced. The AFS Convention
was amended in June 2021 to prohibit anti-fouling systems containing cybutryne. Effective January 1, 2023, ships could not apply or re-apply anti-fouling systems containing cybutryne.
For ships already bearing an anti-fouling system containing cybutryne, the amendments have effect from the next scheduled renewal of the anti-fouling system after January 1, 2023 but
no later than 60 months following the last application to the ship of the anti-fouling system containing cybutryne. Ships bearing an anti-fouling system containing cybutryne shall within
this timeframe either remove the anti-fouling system or apply a coating that forms a barrier to the cybutryne leaching from the underlying noncompliant anti-fouling systems. In addition,
the IAFS Certificate has been updated to address compliance with the cybutryne restrictions. Ships in operation will need to comply within the first anti-fouling renewal survey and must
receive an updated IAFS Certificate no later than January 1, 2025. Ships which are not affected (i.e. with anti-fouling systems which do not contain cybutryne) must receive an updated
IAFS Certificate at the next anti-fouling application to the vessel.
We have obtained IAFS Certificates for all of our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels.
Biofouling
In 2023, the IMO’s Maritime Environmental Protection Committee adopted revised guidelines for the control and management of ships’ biofouling to minimise the transfer of
invasive aquatic species. The update to the 2011 guidelines was undertaken to reduce the threat posed by invasive aquatic species through biofouling on vessels to the well-being of
the sea and to improve the vessel’s hydrodynamic performance. In addition, biofouling management practices enhance energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse air emissions from
vessels due to lower fuel demand in operation as a result of a clean hull. The 2023 guidelines focus on operational considerations such as the selection and installation of AFS and the
re-installation, re-application or repair of the AFS, as well as guidance on maritime growth prevention systems (“MGPS”). Ship design and construction have been taken into
consideration under the 2023 guidelines. The biofouling inspection frequency or inspection dates (or date ranges) for in-water inspections by organisations, crew or personnel who are
competent during the in-service period of the vessel should be based on the ship-specific biofouling risk profile, including inspection as a contingency action, and specified in the
Biofouling Management Plan (“BFMP”) under the responsibility of shipowners, ship operators and shipmasters. The 2023 guidelines also provide updates to information to be included
in a BMFP and biofouling management record book. For vessels not undertaking performance monitoring, the first inspection date should be within 12 months of application,
reapplication, installation or renewal of the AFS to confirm their effective operation. Where monitoring indicates that the AFS is not performing effectively soon after application,
reapplication, installation or renewal (e.g., increased fuel consumption), an inspection should be carried out to confirm the condition of the AFS and level of biofouling as soon as
practical or possible, in line with the BFMP and contingency action plan. If adequate performance of the AFS is observed through monitoring, the inspection could be conducted up to
18 months after application, reapplication, installation or renewal, noting that such monitoring may not reflect the level of biofouling in all niche areas. Subsequent inspections should
occur at least every 12 to 18 months and may need to increase in frequency to confirm the continued effectiveness of an ageing or damaged AFS. In-water inspections should seek to
coincide with existing subsea operations (e.g., underwater inspections in lieu of drydock or any other in-water inspections), including any unscheduled subsea operations. If no AFS is
installed in areas of a ship and no other measures are undertaken such as in-water cleaning or propeller polishing, then inspections should occur more frequently.

Table of Contents
A biofouling rating based on the type and extent of biofouling as well as the condition of the AFS and the functioning of any MGPS will be determined by each biofouling
inspection. The determined rating scale provides a recommendation on the type of cleaning that should take place should biofouling of a certain rating be present.
For example, a fouling rating of zero is given when there is no fouling. A fouling rating of one is given where submerged areas are partially or entirely covered in microfouling, where
metal and painted surface may be visible beneath the fouling. A number of different fouling ratings are defined from light macrofouling (presence of microfouling and multiple
macrofouling patches) all the way through to heavy macrofouling (large patches or submerged areas entirely covered in macrofouling). If the AFS is significantly deteriorated,
drydocking with maintenance and reapplication of the AFS is recommended.
We have developed a BFMP which is in place on board our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels. We measure hull performance daily and run full performance evaluations weekly. Based
on the weekly analyses, we initiate inspections to verify the cause of AFS deterioration where such is observed and if the AFS is negatively affected, we effect the necessary
rectifications.
Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gasses
International
The IMO and other international bodies have implemented various strategies, measures, codes, conventions and other initiatives relating to air emissions and greenhouse gasses
which have an effect on our industry including, but not limited to, the following:
a. Air Pollution
MARPOL Annex VI regulations for the “Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships” apply to all vessels, fixed and floating drilling rigs and other floating platforms. Annex VI sets limits
on sulphur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from vessel exhausts, emissions of volatile compounds from cargo tanks, incineration of specific substances, and prohibits deliberate
emissions of ozone depleting substances. Annex VI also includes a global cap on sulphur content of fuel oil and allows for special areas to be established with more stringent controls
on sulphur emissions. The certification requirements for Annex VI depend on size of the vessel and time of the periodic classification survey. Ships weighing more than 400 gross tons
and engaged in international voyages involving countries that have ratified the conventions, or vessels flying the flag of those countries, are required to have an International Air
Pollution Certificate (“IAPP Certificate”). Annex VI came into force in the United States on January 8, 2009. All our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels have been issued IAPP Certificates.
From January 1, 2020, an upper limit of sulphur content of ship’s fuel oil was reduced to 0.5% from a previous 3.5% under the so-called IMO2020 regulation prescribed in MARPOL.
Ships may limit their air pollutants by using compliant fuels such as low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) or marine gas oil (MGO), by installing exhaust gas cleaning systems (scrubbers), or by
using alternative fuels with low or zero sulphur contents such as liquified natural gas or biofuels. In certain areas, so called emission control areas (“SOx ECAs”), the upper limit of
sulphur content is reduced to 0.1%. SOx ECAs include certain coastal areas of North America, the U.S. Caribbean Sea, the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. With effect from May 2025, the
Mediterranean Sea will be a SOx ECA. From March 2027, the Canadian Arctic and Norwegian Sea will effectively become SOx ECAs. It is expected that regulations designating areas in
the North-East Atlantic as a SOx ECA will be adopted by MEPC in October 2025.
In addition to requirements relating to the sulphur content of ship’s fuel oil, the IMO have adopted amendments to MARPOL Annex VI stipulating limits from the nitrous oxide
(NOx) emissions from ship’s engines. The NOx limits were split into different tiers, with tier III, the most restrictive tier, only applying in NOx emission control areas (“NOx ECAs”).
Currently, areas in the North American and United States Caribbean, North Sea, and Baltic Sea are NOx ECAs and starting in March 2026, the Canadian Arctic and Norwegian Sea will be
NOx ECAs. It is expected that regulations designating areas in the North-East Atlantic as a NOx ECA will be adopted by MEPC in October 2025. All our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels are
in compliance with IMO NOx regulations.

Table of Contents
Additionally, the IMO has adopted draft amendments to MARPOL Annex I to prohibit, with effect from July 1, 2024, the use or carrying for use of heavy fuel oil (HFO) in Arctic
waters. MEPC 77 adopted a non-binding resolution which urges member states and ship operators to voluntarily use distillate or other cleaner alternative fuels or methods of propulsion
that are safe for ships and could contribute to the reduction of black carbon emissions from ships when operating in or near the Arctic.
Some of our Hafnia Vessels have exhaust gas cleaning systems (scrubbers) installed. We comply with sulphur requirements by using compliant fuels for the vessels in our Hafnia
Fleet.
b. Greenhouse Gasses | EEDI, EEXI, SEEMP, CII
IMO has introduced measures to reduce emissions of GHGs, including the so-called EEDI, EEXI, SEEMP & CII-frameworks which are described in further detail below. We may incur
costs to comply with these standards. Existing rules and standards may be amended or additional or new conventions, laws and regulations may be adopted that could require the
installation of expensive emission control systems and could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. The IMO is in the process of
reviewing the EEXI and CII measures with the first phase of review to be concluded by 2026 and the second phase continuing past 2026. The measures may be amended as a result of
this review and the amended measures could be more burdensome on us and our business and operations than the current measures.
i. EEDI & EEXI
EEXI (Energy Efficiency eXisting ship Index) is a framework introduced by the IMO for determining energy efficiency and CO2 emissions from the vessel’s operations based on its
design parameters.
From January 1, 2023, it became a requirement that vessels subject to the EEXI framework must have an attained EEXI value falling below an allowable maximum value (the required
EEXI). If a vessel’s EEXI does not satisfy the required EEXI, it is necessary to implement countermeasures.
EEXI supplements the EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) which has been in force since 2013. EEDI applies to newbuilds while EEXI applies to existing vessels. All of our Hafnia
Vessels and JV Vessels are subject to the EEXI framework. Certification of EEXI will take place at the first annual, intermediate, or special survey on or after January 1, 2023. Compliance
with EEXI will be documented by the issuance of the IEE certificate.
Many of our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels were designed to fall below the minimum standard. For the remaining vessels, we have taken steps, including implementing engine and
shaft power limitation devices, to ensure compliance with the EEXI regulation by each individual vessel’s compliance date.
As at December 31, 2024, all Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels are, as applicable, in compliance with EEDI or EEXI certification.
ii. SEEMP
As of January 1, 2013, certain measures relating to energy efficiency for ships were made mandatory under MARPOL. All ships above 400 gross tonnage became required to
develop and implement a Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (“SEEMP”). A SEEMP is split into three different parts, each of which includes different requirements on vessel
owners and vessel operators.
• SEEMP Part I requires all ships of 400 gross tonnage and above to retain a ship-specific Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan on board. The purpose of SEEMP Part I is to
establish a mechanism for a company and/or a ship to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon intensity. This plan is not subject to confirmation or verification.
• SEEMP Part II requires ships of 5,000 gross tonnage and above engaging in international voyages to collect and report their fuel oil consumption data to their flag
administration or an organisation authorised by the flag administration. The ships subject to this requirement must develop a ship fuel oil consumption data collection plan
which should be confirmed by either their flag administration or an organisation authorised by the flag administration.

Table of Contents
• SEEMP Part III applies to vessels subject to the below-described CII requirements. As from January 1, 2023, all vessels subject to the CII ratings requirements are required to
develop a Ship Operational Carbon Intensity Plan (known as “SEEMP Part III”) which must include certain information, including (i) the CII calculation methodology, (ii)
required CII values for the next three years, (iii) an implementation plan to achieve the required CII value, and (iv) procedures for self-evaluation and improvement. Additionally,
if a vessel has a CII ‘E’ rating for any year or a ‘D’ rating for three consecutive years, it must develop a corrective action plan in the SEEMP Part III. The SEEMP Part III must be
verified by the flag administration or an organisation authorised by the flag administration.
As at December 31, 2024, all Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels were in compliance with the SEEMP Part I, Part II and Part III requirements.
iii. CII
Carbon Intensity Indicator (“CII”) is a rating scheme developed by the IMO. According to CII, vessels over 5,000 GT must quantify and report their carbon emissions from ongoing
operations. CII determines the annual reduction factor needed to continuously improve the vessel’s operational carbon intensity. Based on the collected data, the vessel is rated on a
scale from A – E, where A is best. The rating indicates a performance level which is major superior, minor superior, moderate, minor inferior or inferior.
The assessment of CII takes place annually. If a vessel is rated D for three consecutive years or E for one year, a corrective action plan must be provided to indicate how an index of
C or above will be reached.
As at December 31, 2024, all Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels were in compliance with the CII requirements. However, two vessels are rated D and two vessels are rated E. Where
required, we have put in place corrective action plans.
c. Greenhouse Gasses | Global Fuel Standard
In April 2025, MEPC 83 approved amendments to MARPOL Annex VI (Chapter 5 “Regulations on the IMO net-zero framework”) containing mid-term measures to reduce GHG
emissions of shipping. These amendments require formal adoption at the MEPC Exceptional Session 2 (“MEPC ES 2”) in October 2025 and, if adopted, will come into force in March 2027
(16 months later), with detailed implementation guidelines scheduled for approval at MEPC 84.
If adopted by MEPC ES 2, the mid-term measures will introduce a global GHG fuel intensity (GFI) ‘standard’ (the “GFS”) that vessels must comply with. The GFS will decrease over
time, thereby requiring gradual reduction of a vessel’s annual GFI. The GFS will apply to ships of 5,000 GT and above with certain vessels being excluded from the scope.
The GFS will provide for a base tier GFI target (the “Base Target”) as well as a second tier GFI target (the “Direct Compliance Target”). The assessment of compliance will be
undertaken by comparing the Direct Compliance Target with the vessel’s annual attained GFI. Where a vessel has a positive compliance balance (due to its attained annual GFI being
less than the Direct Compliance Target), it will be considered compliant. Where a vessel has a negative compliance balance (due to the attained GFI being greater than the Direct
Compliance Target), it will need to balance the negative compliance balance. A vessel which over-complies with the GFS will receive ‘surplus units’. These can be transferred to other
vessels, banked for later use or cancelled. A vessel with an attained GFI between the Direct Compliance Target and the Base Target must balance a ‘tier 1’ deficit, while a vessel exceeding
the Base Target must balance ‘tier 1’ and ‘tier 2’ deficits. ‘Tier 1’ deficits can only be balanced through the purchase of ‘tier 1’ remedial units whereas ‘tier 2’ deficits may be balanced by
the use of banked surplus units, receipt of surplus units from other vessels and purchase of ‘tier 2’ remedial units.
United States
The United States has implemented various strategies, measures, laws, regulations and other initiatives relating to air emissions and greenhouse gasses which have an effect on our
industry including, but not limited to, the following:

Table of Contents
a. Clean Air Act
The U.S. Clean Air Act of 1970 (including its amendments of 1977 and 1990) (the “CAA”) requires the EPA to promulgate standards applicable to emissions of volatile organic
compounds and other air contaminants. Our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels are subject to vapor control and recovery requirements for certain cargos when loading, unloading, ballasting,
cleaning and conducting other operations in regulated port areas and emission standards for so-called “Category 3” marine diesel engines operating in U.S. waters. The marine diesel
engine emission standards are currently limited to new engines beginning with the 2004 model year. On April 30, 2010, the EPA promulgated final emission standards for Category 3
marine diesel engines equivalent to those adopted in the amendments to Annex VI to MARPOL. The emission standards were applied in two stages: near-term standards for newly built
engines apply from 2011, and long-term standards requiring an 80% reduction in nitrogen dioxides, or NOx, apply from 2016. A further stage of reductions, known as “Tier 4” standards,
has also been developed and implemented. However, in October 2020, the EPA published a final rule to provide additional lead time for implementation for certain high-speed vessels.
Pursuant to the final rule, the Tier 4 standards apply from model year 2022 for engines installed in a wide range of high-speed vessels, and from model year 2024 for engines installed in
certain other such vessels, subject to certain limitations. Separately, in December 2019, the EPA published a final rule concerning national diesel fuel regulations that will allow fuel
suppliers to distribute distillate diesel fuel that complies with the 0.5% international sulphur cap instead of fuel standards that otherwise apply to distillate diesel fuel in the United States.
Fuel that does not meet the 0.5% sulphur cap cannot be used in ECA boundaries. Compliance with these standards may cause us to incur costs to install control equipment on our
Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels in the future.
b. Greenhouse Gasses
In the United States, the EPA issued a finding that GHGs endanger public health and safety and has adopted regulations that regulate the emission of GHGs from certain sources.
For example, fossil fuel companies to whom we provide services are subject to regulations by various government agencies, which may include the EPA and bodies within the
Department of the Interior. These regulations may include restrictions on certain oil & gas production or stimulation techniques, requirements for the installation and use of certain
emissions control technologies, and other regulations that may adversely impact the operations of our customers, which may ultimately reduce demand for our services. Regarding our
own operations, the EPA enforces both the CAA and the international standards found in Annex VI of MARPOL concerning marine diesel emissions, and the sulphur content found in
marine fuel. Other federal and state regulations relating to the control of greenhouse gas emissions may follow, including climate change initiatives that have been considered in the U.S.
Congress. However, though the United States rejoined the Paris Agreement in February 2021, and, in April 2021, announced a new, more rigorous nationally determined emissions
reduction level of 50-52% reduction from 2005 levels in economy-wide net GHG emissions by 2030, by an executive order signed on January 20, 2025, the United States has begun the
process of withdrawing from the Paris Agreement, and the impact of such withdrawal is yet to be known. Additionally, under the current administration, the extent of the EPA’s
enforcement of the CAA and the international standards found in Annex VI of MARPOL is unclear as of the date of this Annual Report.
European Union
The European Union has implemented various strategies, measures, directives, regulations and other initiatives relating to air emissions and greenhouse gasses which have an
effect on our industry including, but not limited to, the following:
a. EU Regulation on monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions
On April 29, 2015, Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the EU Council on the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from
maritime transport and amending Directive 2009/16/EC (“EU MRV”) was adopted. EU MRV requires large vessels calling at EU ports to collect and publish data on CO2 emissions and
other information and requires owners of vessels over 5,000 gross tons to monitor emissions for each ship on a per-voyage and annual basis from January 1, 2018. Further, from 2019, all
ships above 5,000 gross tons, regardless of flag state, calling at EU ports must submit a verified emissions report to the European Commission and the vessel’s flag state by April 30 of
each year, and by June 30 of each year vessels must carry a valid document of compliance confirming compliance with Regulation (EU) 2015/757 for the prior reporting period.
b. EU Emissions Trading System
From January 1, 2024, the EU Emissions Trading System (“EU ETS”) has been extended to cover emissions from ships of 5,000 gross tonnage and above entering EU ports,
regardless of flag state. The EU ETS is a “cap” and “trade” system providing for an absolute, gradually decreasing, “cap” on total emissions. Under the EU ETS, shipowners will be
required to submit 1 EU allowance (“EUA”) for each ton of CO2 (or CO2-equivalent) they emit. EUAs are financial instruments which can be purchased at auctions (primary market), OTC
exchanges (secondary market) or on a direct, bilateral basis.
The EU ETS covers 50% of emission from voyages starting or ending outside the European Union and 100% of emissions that occur between two EU ports and when ships are
within EU ports. The EU ETS currently applies to CO2-emissions and will extend to methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) from 2026. The EU ETS is gradually phased in and as such,
shipping companies will be obligated to surrender EUAs in 2025 for 40% of their emissions reported in 2024, in 2026 for 70% of their emissions reported in 2025 and from 2027 for 100% of
their reported emissions in the previous year.

Table of Contents
The obligation to surrender EUAs will generally rest with the vessel’s registered owner; however, the obligation can be delegated contractually from a vessel’s registered owner to a
bareboat charterer or a technical manager. If a shipping company does not surrender the required EUAs, they will be liable to pay a penalty and may be published as a non-complying
shipping company. Additionally, if a shipping company is noncompliant for at least two consecutive years, vessels with an EU flag state may be detained and vessels may be prohibited
from entering EU member states other than their flag state (if the flag state is an EU member state). The sanctions are based on the shipping company and not the specific vessels.
c. FuelEU Maritime Regulation
On January 1, 2025, Regulation (EU) 2023/1805 of the European Parliament and of the Council of September 13, 2023 on the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels in maritime
transport, and amending Directive 2009/15/EC (“FuelEU”) came into effect. FuelEU sets out uniform rules (i) imposing a limit on the GHG intensity of energy used on board a ship arriving
at, staying within, or departing from ports of an EU member state and (ii) an obligation for passenger ships and container ships to use on-shore power supply (OPS) or zero-emission
technology in ports of an EU member state. FuelEU applies to ships of 5,000 gross tonnage and above, regardless of their flag state. FuelEU sets out a progressively decreasing maximum
yearly average GHG intensity of the energy used on board a ship during the reporting period. The GHGs within the scope of FuelEU are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous
oxide (N2O). The GHG energy intensity requirements in FuelEU will apply to 100% of energy used for voyages between two European Union ports of call and 100% of energy used while
a vessel stays in a European Union port of call and to 50% of energy used for voyages between a European Union port of call and a destination outside the European Union and to 50%
of the energy used for voyages to or from the outermost regions of the European Union. For container vessels, FuelEU will additionally apply to voyages to and from certain
transshipment ports near the European Union.
Shipping companies must submit a standardised emissions monitoring plan for each of their vessels and must collect information in accordance with this monitoring plan. Shipping
companies must thereafter submit the relevant information to a verifier and a compliance database to be established by the European Union. Each year, the verifier will issue to the
shipping company a FuelEU document of compliance which must be kept onboard all ships calling at an EU port of call. Subject to certain restrictions, shipping companies can “bank” or
borrow compliance surplus between reporting periods or pool compliance between multiple vessels, including pooling compliance with vessels controlled by another company.
Alternatively, the shipping company must pay a FuelEU penalty in respect of the ship. Such FuelEU penalty must be paid in order for the ship to receive the FuelEU document of
compliance from the verifier. A ship that is noncompliant for two or more consecutive years may be issued an expulsion order.
d. Directive (EU) 2016/802 of the European Parliament and of the Council of May 11, 2016 relating to a reduction in the sulphur content of certain liquid fuels (codification)
The European Union has adopted regulations requiring vessels to use reduced sulphur content fuel for their main and auxiliary engines. The European Union has imposed a 0.1%
maximum sulphur requirement for fuel used by ships at berth in the Baltic, the North Sea and the English Channel (the so called “SOx-Emission Control Area” under Annex VI to
MARPOL). Additionally, as of January 2020, EU member states must ensure that ships in all EU waters, except the SOx-Emission Control Area, use fuels with a 0.5% maximum sulphur
content.
Other rules and regulations regarding air pollution and GHG
The issue of climate change and the effect of GHG emissions, in particular emissions from fossil fuels, has attracted and continues to attract attention from a wide range of groups,
including politicians, regulators, financial institutions, and the general public. In 2019, a consortium of shipping financiers launched the Poseidon Principles, a framework to assess and
disclose the alignment of ship finance portfolios with the climate-related goals of the IMO. While voluntary, signatories commit to implementing the Poseidon Principles in their internal
policies.
At the international level, at the 26th Conference to the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (“COP 26”), the United States and European Union
jointly announced the launch of the Global Methane Pledge, an initiative committing to a collective goal of reducing global methane emissions by at least 30% from 2020 levels by 2030,
including “all feasible reductions” in the energy sector. At the 28th Conference to the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (“COP 28”), the United
States announced new regulations intended to cut methane pollution from the nation’s oil and gas industry by nearly 80% through 2038. Additionally, the global stocktake at COP 28
called on parties to take actions towards tripling of renewable energy capacity as well to take measures driving the transition away from fossil fuels in energy systems. Furthermore, at
COP 28, parties agreed to submit updated climate plans for 2035 by 2025. The updated nationally determined contributions should be economy-wide, cover all greenhouse gasses and be
aligned with the 1.5 degree Celsius temperature limit set out in the Paris Agreement.

Table of Contents
An increasing number of financial institutions have also established policies or commitments to reduce emissions associated with their portfolios. At COP 26, the Glasgow Financial
Alliance for Net Zero (“GFANZ”) announced that commitments from over 450 firms across 45 countries had resulted in over $130 trillion in capital committed to net zero goals. The
various sub-alliances of GFANZ generally require participants to set short-term, sector-specific targets to transition their financing, investing, and/or underwriting activities to net zero
emissions by 2050.
There is also a risk that financial institutions will be required to adopt policies that have the effect of reducing the funding provided to the fossil fuel sector. In late 2020, the U.S.
Federal Reserve announced that it had joined the Network for Greening the Financial System, a consortium of financial regulators focused on addressing climate-related risks in the
financial sector. Subsequently, the U.S. Federal Reserve has issued a statement in support of the efforts of the Network for Greening the Financial System to identify key issues and
potential solutions for the climate-related challenges most relevant to central banks and supervisory authorities. Limitation of investments in and financings for fossil fuel energy
companies could result in the restriction, delay or cancellation of drilling programs or development, production, liquefaction, or related activities, which may ultimately reduce demand for
our services. Additionally, the SEC has proposed but not yet promulgated rules requiring climate-related disclosures. Following the February 11, 2025 announcement by Acting Chairman
Uyeda, in which he called the proposed rules “deeply flawed,” it is unclear whether the proposed rules in any form will become effective. If climate-related disclosure rules do become
effective, although the ultimate form and substance of these requirements is not yet known, they may result in additional costs to comply with any such disclosure requirements.
Wreck Removal
The Nairobi Convention on the Removal of Wrecks (“Wreck Removal Convention”) entered into force on April 14, 2015 and contains obligations for shipowners to effectively
remove wrecks located in a member state’s exclusive economic zone or equivalent 200-nautical-miles zone. The Wreck Removal Convention places strict liability, subject to certain
exceptions, on a vessel owner for locating, marking, and removing the wreck of any owned vessel deemed to be a hazard due to factors such as its proximity to shipping routes, traffic
density and frequency, type of traffic and vulnerability of port facilities as well as environmental damage. It also makes government certification of insurance, or other form of financial
security for such liability, compulsory for ships of 300 gross tonnage and above.
Member states may intervene in certain situations. They can remove, or have removed, wrecks that pose a danger or impediment to navigation or that may be expected to result in
major harmful consequences to the marine environment, or damage to the coastline or related interests, of one or more member states. The same applies for a ship that is about, or may
reasonably be expected, to sink or to strand as set forth in the Wreck Removal Convention. The cost of such removal and other measures falls on the vessel owner. Should one of our
vessels become a wreck subject to the Wreck Removal Convention, substantial costs may be incurred in addition to any losses suffered as a result of the loss of the vessel. The IMO
continues to review and introduce new regulations. It is impossible to predict what additional regulations, if any, may be passed by the IMO and what effect, if any, such regulations
might have on our operations.
Waste Management and Ship Recycling
International
The IMO and other international bodies have implemented various strategies, measures, codes, conventions and other initiatives relating to waste management and ship recycling
which have an effect on our industry including, but not limited to, the following:
a. Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal
The Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal (the “Basel Convention”) was adopted on March 22, 1989, entered
into force on May 5, 1992, and has been amended a number of times after its adoption. The Basel Convention has 184 state parties, not including the United States. The aim of the Basel
Convention is to protect human health and the environment against adverse effects of hazardous wastes. The Basel Convention, among other things, imposes restrictions and
prohibitions on the transboundary movement of hazardous waste to or from non-parties to the convention and non-OECD states; imposes restrictions on the transboundary movement
of waste to/from/through party states; and includes notification obligations applicable in the event of transboundary movement of wastes between parties to the convention. Ships are
not categorised as special categories of waste and the general rules of the Basel Convention therefore apply to ships. The Basel Convention applies to waste generators, exporters,
importers and disposers. There is a risk that a seller of a ship meant for recycling will be deemed a waste generator and become subject to the regulation, and compliance with the Basel
Convention can be very costly and time consuming. While MEPC 82 approved guidance on the interplay between the Basel Convention and the Hong Kong Convention with respect of
the transboundary movement of ships intended for recycling, there is not yet full legal clarity and certainty about the interplay between the Basel Convention and the Hong Kong
Convention.

Table of Contents
b. The Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships
The Hong Kong Convention aims to ensure that when vessels are being recycled at the end of their operational lives, they do not pose any unnecessary risks to the environment,
human health and safety. The Hong Kong Convention will enter into force on June 26, 2025. The Hong Kong Convention applies to vessels larger than 500 gross tonnage that fly the
flag of a contracting state. Upon the Hong Kong Convention’s entry into force, each vessel sent for recycling will have to carry an inventory of its hazardous materials, ship recycling
facilities authorised by the competent authorities must provide a ship recycling plan specific for each vessel to be recycled, and governments will be required to ensure that recycling
facilities under their jurisdiction comply with the Hong Kong Convention. The hazardous materials, whose use or installation is prohibited in certain circumstances, are listed in an
appendix to the Hong Kong Convention. Vessels will be required to have surveys to verify their inventory of hazardous materials initially, throughout their lives and prior to being
recycled.
c. OECD Decision of the Council on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Wastes Destined for Recovery Operations
On March 30, 1992, the OECD passed a decision relating to the transboundary movement of waste destined for recovery operations between OECD member countries. The decision
has been amended subsequently, including to align with the requirements under the Basel Convention. The OECD decision provides a framework for OECD members to control
transboundary movements of waste in an environmentally sound manner.
European Union
The European Union has implemented various strategies, measures, directives, regulations, and other initiatives relating to waste management and ship recycling which have an
effect on our industry including, but not limited to, the following:
a. Regulation (EC) No 1013/2026 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 14, 2006 on shipments of waste
In 2006, the European Union adopted Regulation (EC) No 1013/2026 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 14, 2006 on shipments of waste (the “EU Waste
Regulation”) which entered into force in July 2007. The EU Waste Regulation implements the Basel Convention (as amended) at the level of the European Union. The EU Waste
Regulation, among other things, prohibits the transboundary movement of hazardous waste from EU countries to non-OECD countries. Breaches of the EU Waste Regulation may lead
to sanctions such as fines and involved management members may be criminally charged, including fines, jail, and prohibitions on working in certain industries, such as shipping, for a
period of time. In 2024, the European Union adopted the Regulation (EU) 2024/1157 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 11, 2024 on shipments of waste (“New EU
Waste Regulation”). The New EU Waste Regulation entered into force on May 20, 2024; however, most provisions will apply from May 2026 and most export rules from May 2027. Until
then, the EU Waste Regulation will continue to apply.
b. Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of November 20, 2023 on ship recycling and amending Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 and
Directive 2009/16/EC
In 2013, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU adopted the Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of November 20, 2023 on ship
recycling and amending Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 and Directive 2009/16/EC (the “EU Ship Recycling Regulation”). The EU Ship Recycling Regulation entered into force on
December 31, 2018 and applies to vessels of no less than 500 gross tonnage operating between different states and flying the flag of an EU member state. The EU Ship Recycling
Regulation prescribes that such vessels may be recycled only in facilities authorised by the European Commission. Additionally, any EU-flagged vessel and any non-EU flagged vessel
calling at port or anchorage of an EU member state is required to set up and maintain an inventory of hazardous materials. Such a system includes information on the hazardous materials
with a quantity above the threshold values specified in relevant EU regulations and that are identified in a ship’s structure and equipment. This inventory should be properly maintained
and updated, especially after repairs, conversions, or unscheduled maintenance on board the ship and a statement of compliance must be issued by the ship’s flag state. Breach of or
efforts to circumvent the EU Ship Recycling Regulation can lead to penalties and, in respect of breaches of the obligation to carry an inventory of hazardous materials and a statement of
compliance, may lead to the ship being warned, detained, dismissed, or excluded from ports or offshore terminals in EU member states.

Vessel Safety and Security Regulations
Safe Management of Vessel and Cargo
The IMO and other international bodies have implemented various strategies, measures, codes, conventions and other initiatives relating to the safe management of vessels and
cargo which have an effect on our industry including, but not limited to, the following:
a. International Safety Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention
The ISM Code, which is Chapter IX of SOLAS, imposes certain requirements on the “company”, as this term is defined in the ISM Code. The “company” is a vessel’s registered
owner unless the responsibility for operation of the vessel has been transferred to another party through a contractual arrangement such as a bareboat charter or a technical
management agreement. The ISM Code requires the “company” to develop an extensive safety management system and the adoption of a policy for safety and environmental protection
setting forth instructions and procedures for operating its vessels safely and also describing procedures for responding to emergencies.
For our vessels under internal technical management, we rely on the safety management system developed by our internal technical manager BW Fleet Management Pte. Ltd. for
compliance with the ISM Code. For our vessels under external technical management, we rely on the safety management system developed by our external technical manager. If we are
not in compliance with the ISM Code, we could be subject to increased liability, may not be able to obtain sufficient insurance coverage, may be in default under our financial
arrangements and may be denied access to – or detained in – certain ports.
The ISM Code requires that a safety management certificate is obtained for each vessel. The safety management certificate evidences the compliance with the ISM requirements for
a safety management system. A prerequisite for obtaining a safety management certificate is that the relevant “company” holds a document of compliance issued by the flag state for the
relevant vessel type. Our internal ship management entity, BW Fleet Management Pte. Ltd., holds documents of compliance under the ISM Code for operation of oil tankers issued by
each relevant flag state and all of our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels have obtained a safety management certificate.
b. Goal-based ship construction standards for bulk carriers and oil tankers
In 2010, the Maritime Safety Committee of the IMO adopted a SOLAS regulation on goal-based ship construction standards for bulk carriers and oil tankers. This regulation entered
into force on January 1, 2012 with effect for new oil tankers and bulk carriers ordered on or after January 1, 2016, and requires that all oil tankers and bulk carriers over 150 meters in
length must have adequate strength, integrity and stability to minimise risk of loss or pollution.
c. International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers
The IMO has adopted the International Convention on the Standards of Training and Certification of Watchkeeping Officers (“STCW”). The STCW establishes minimum training,
certification, and watchkeeping standards for seafarers. As of February 2017, all seafarers must meet the STCW standards and be in possession of a valid STCW certificate.
d. International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code
Amendments to SOLAS Chapter VII apply to vessels transporting dangerous goods and require those vessels be in compliance with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods
Code (“IMDG Code”). The IMDG Code was originally adopted in 1965 but has been changed several times since. The carriage of dangerous goods in packaged form shall comply with
the IMDG Code. Additionally, the IMDG Code is considered an extension of SOLAS Chapter VII and MARPOL Annex III.

e. Polar Code
IMO’s International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (the “Polar Code”) is mandatory under SOLAS and MARPOL. The Polar Code entered into force on January 1, 2017,
and covers design, construction, equipment, operational, training, search and rescue as well as environmental protection matters relevant to ships operating in the waters surrounding
the two poles. It also includes mandatory measures regarding safety and pollution prevention as well as recommendatory provisions. The Code requires ships intending to operate in
defined waters of the Antarctic and Artic to acquire a polar ship certificate. As at December 31, 2024, none of our Hafnia and JV Vessels operate in areas requiring them to acquire a polar
ship certificate.
f. Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims
In 1976, the IMO adopted the Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims (“LLMC”). The LLMC entered into force in 1986 and has been amended by a protocol of
1996 (“1996 Protocol”) which entered into force in 2004. The 1996 Protocol has been amended subsequently. The LLMC provides a system of limitation of liability for shipowners with
specific limits specified for two types of claims: claims for loss of life or personal injury, and property claims (includes damage to property, harbour works and damage to other ships).
The limitations of the LLMC apply unless it can be proved that a loss resulted from the personal act or omission, committed with the intent to cause such loss, or recklessly and with
knowledge that such loss would probably result. Under the 1996 Protocol, the limits for compensation were increased.
g. Future regulations
The IMO continues to review and introduce new regulations. It is impossible to predict what additional regulations, if any, may be passed by the IMO and what effect, if any, such
regulation may have on our operations. Noncompliance with the ISM Code or other applicable IMO regulations may subject a shipowner or a bareboat charterer to increased liability or
penalties, may lead to decreases in available insurance coverage for affected vessels and may result in the denial of access to, or detention in, some ports.
Vessel Security Regulation
In the wake of increased worldwide security concerns, particularly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the United States, there have been a variety of initiatives
intended to enhance vessel security and to take preventative measures against security incidents affecting vessels or port facilities.
Chapter XI-2 of SOLAS imposes detailed security obligations on vessels and port authorities and mandates compliance with the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code
(the “ISPS Code”). The ISPS Code is designed to enhance the security of ports and ships against terrorism and is applicable to all vessels over 500 gross tonnage operating on
international trades. To trade internationally, a vessel must attain an International Ship Security Certificate (“ISSC”) from a recognised security organisation approved by the vessel’s flag
state. Vessels operating without a valid certificate may be detained, expelled from, or refused entry at port until they obtain an ISSC. The various requirements, some of which are found
in SOLAS, include, for example, on-board installation of automatic identification systems to provide a means for the automatic transmission of safety-related information from among
similarly equipped ships and shore stations, including information on a ship’s identity, position, course, speed and navigational status; on-board installation of ship security alert
systems, which do not sound on the vessel but only alert the authorities on shore; the development of vessel security plans; ship identification number to be permanently marked on a
vessel’s hull; a continuous synopsis record kept on board showing a vessel’s history including the name of the ship, the state whose flag the ship is entitled to fly, the date on which the
ship was registered with that state, the ship’s identification number, the port at which the ship is registered and the name of the registered owner(s) and their registered address; and
compliance with flag state security certification requirements.
In the United States, the U.S. Maritime Transportation Security Act (“MTSA”) was adopted in 2002. To implement certain portions of the MTSA, the USCG issued regulations
requiring the implementation of certain security requirements aboard vessels operating in waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and at certain ports and facilities, some of
which are regulated by the EPA. The USCG regulations, intended to align with international maritime security standards, exempt non-U.S. vessels from MTSA vessel security measures,
provided such vessels have on board a valid ISSC that attests to the vessel’s compliance with SOLAS security requirements and the ISPS Code.
All of our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels have a valid ISSC. Future security measures could have a significant financial impact on us. We intend to continue to comply with the
various security measures addressed by MTSA, SOLAS and the ISPS Code.
The cost of vessel security measures has also been affected by the escalation in the frequency of acts of piracy against ships, notably off the coast of West Africa and Somalia,
including the Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea area. Substantial loss of revenue and other costs may be incurred as a result of detention of a vessel or additional security measures, and the
risk of uninsured losses could significantly affect our business. Costs are incurred in taking additional security measures in accordance with Best Management Practices to Deter Piracy,
notably those contained in the BMP WAF and BMP5 industry standard.

Cybersecurity
Recent action by the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee and U.S. agencies indicate that cybersecurity regulations for the maritime industry are likely to be further developed in the
near future in an attempt to combat cybersecurity threats. By IMO resolution, administrations are encouraged to ensure that cyber-risk management systems are incorporated by
shipowners and managers by their first annual Document of Compliance audit after January 1, 2021. In February 2021, the USCG published guidance on addressing cyber risks in a
vessel’s safety management system. This might cause companies to cultivate additional procedures for monitoring cybersecurity, which could require additional expenses and/or capital
expenditures.
In 2023, the European Union adopted its second Network and Information Security directive (“NIS2”). This directive has an impact on our business and may require us to incur
additional expenses and take measures in order to monitor cybersecurity and if we are not in compliance with applicable rules, we may be subject to penalties for noncompliance.
Maritime Labour Convention
The International Labour Organization is a specialised agency of the UN that has adopted the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 as amended (the “Maritime Labour Convention”).
A Maritime Labour Certificate and a Declaration of Maritime Labour Compliance is required to ensure compliance with the Maritime Labour Convention for all ships that are 500 gross
tonnage or above and are either engaged in international voyages or flying the flag of a member state of the International Labour Organization and operating from a port, or between
ports, in another country. The Maritime Labour Certificate and Declaration of Maritime Labour Compliance are prima facie evidence of a vessel’s compliance with the requirements of the
Maritime Labour Convention and are subject to port state control when vessels enter the ports of other countries which have ratified the Maritime Labour Convention. In addition,
vessels flying the flag of countries that have not ratified the Maritime Labour Convention are also subject to inspection with respect to working and living conditions for the seafarers
when those vessels enter in ports of countries where the Maritime Labour Convention is in force. Amendments to the Maritime Labour Convention were adopted in 2014, 2016, 2018 and
2022.
We believe that all our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels are in compliance with and are certified to meet the Maritime Labour Convention; however, there are risks associated with
ensuring proper compliance due to uncertainty relating to the interpretation of the Maritime Labour Convention and the local legislation enacting it in various countries as well as the
methods to be used by port state control to check and ensure compliance.
Technical Management
Our technical department is responsible for the maintenance, marine, vetting, security, crew management and technical operations to ensure that the highest standards with regard
to safety and environment are maintained on board our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels. As at December 31, 2024, 58 of our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels were externally managed on the
basis of separate technical management agreements with the remaining Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels being managed through our in-house technical department.

As at December 31, 2024, our technical department had 73 employees, of which 53 are based in Singapore, 5 in Copenhagen, 2 in Houston, 11 in Mumbai, 1 in Monaco and 1 in
Dubai.
Hafnia Bunkers Alliance
We have established the Hafnia Bunkers Alliance, a dedicated team assisting with the purchasing of bunkers for all Pool Vessels and for vessels operated by third parties. In 2024,
the Hafnia Bunker Alliance serviced 1,500 vessels.
The purpose of the Hafnia Bunkers Alliance is to offer a best-in-class bunker management service by utilising our large buying power, economies of scale and full transparency on
our procurement processes. We conduct bunker purchasing in three different manners. Firstly, we purchase bunkers for vessels in the Pools. For these vessels, regardless of whether
they are vessels in the Hafnia Fleet or Pool Vessels, Hafnia is the purchasing entity and we pay for the bunkers. In the agent-to-owner Pools, we pay for the bunkers in our capacity as
agent for the pool participant. We earn a bunker management fee from such bunker purchasing. Secondly, we purchase bunkers for vessels owned by third parties. Here, the third-party
owners are the purchasing entity and pay for the bunkers. We earn a bunker management fee from such bunker purchasing. Thirdly, we will in certain instances buy bunkers and re-sell
to third parties with a small margin. On such bunker purchasing, we earn the margin. As at December 31, 2024, our bunker department had 16 employees across Singapore, Copenhagen,
and Houston.
In February 2025, we announced the launch of the Seascale Energy Joint Venture, which is intended to combine the business of the Hafnia Bunkers Alliance with Cargill’s Pure
Marine Fuels business. Business operations will, subject to pending regulatory approval, commence in the second quarter of 2025. Please see “Joint Ventures” above. Upon launch, the
Hafnia Bunkers Alliance will cease operations under its current name and transition to Seascale Energy.
Classification Societies
The hull, machinery, equipment and systems of every commercial vessel must be “classed” by a classification society authorised by the vessel’s country of registry. The
classification society certifies that the vessel is “in-class”, signifying that the vessel has been built, certified and maintained in accordance with all national and international rules,
regulations and applicable standards. Additionally, where surveys are required by international conventions, including SOLAS and MARPOL or by laws or other applicable regulations
of the vessel’s flag state, the classification society may undertake such surveys acting on behalf of the relevant authority and will certify that the vessel complies with applicable rules
and regulations of its flag state and applicable international conventions.
Many insurance underwriters will require a vessel to be certified “in class” by a classification society which is a member of the International Association of Classification Societies
(“IACS”). Our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels are currently classed with DNV (“DNV”), Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (“ClassNK”), American Bureau of Shipping (“ABS”), Lloyd’s Register of
Shipping (“LR”) or Bureau Veritas (“BV”), all of which are members of IACS.
At the date of this Annual Report, all Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels are certified as being “in class” by their respective classification society.
In order to maintain the class, regular and extraordinary surveys of a vessel’s hull and machinery, including electrical plant and any other equipment required to be classed are
performed. These surveys can be divided into three categories:
• Annual Survey: Annual surveys are conducted for the vessel’s hull and machinery, including the electrical plant and any special equipment classed. The annual survey
must be conducted within three months before or after each anniversary of the date of commencement of the class period indicated in the certificate.

Table of Contents
• Intermediate survey: Extended annual surveys, referred to as intermediate surveys, have to be carried out either at or in between the second and third annual survey after
each special survey. After the third special survey, each intermediate survey shall have the same scope as the previous special survey.
• Special survey: Special surveys are conducted for the vessel’s hull, machinery, including the electrical plant, and for any special equipment classed. Special surveys may be
referred to as class renewal surveys. Special surveys should be completed within five years after the completion of the construction of the vessel or within five years after
the crediting date of the previous special survey. At the special survey, the vessel is thoroughly examined. In lieu of a special survey, at the owner’s request, the surveys
relating to a vessel’s machinery may be split into a continuous survey cycle under which the machinery will be surveyed periodically over a five-year period. The period
between two subsequent surveys of each area must not exceed five years.
Special surveys and intermediate surveys for vessels over the age of 15 may have a considerable financial impact.
In addition to the abovementioned surveys, many vessels, including the Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels, are subject to examinations of the outside of the vessel’s bottom and related
items. During each five-year special survey period, a minimum of two examinations of the outside of the vessel’s bottom and related items must be conducted. One of these examinations
must be conducted in conjunction with the special survey. The interval between two examinations of the vessel’s bottom and related items may not exceed 36 months. Normally,
examinations of the vessel’s bottom and related items are conducted while the vessel is in drydock; however, in certain circumstances an alternate examination may be conducted while
the vessel is afloat. For vessels over the age of 15, the bottom survey must be performed while the vessel is in drydock.
Generally, if during any of the abovementioned surveys any defects are found, the classification surveyor will require immediate repairs or issue a “Condition of Class” which much
be rectified within a prescribed time limit.
If any vessel does not maintain its class and/or fails any annual survey, intermediate survey or special survey, the vessel cannot be traded. If a vessel has a Condition of Class or
minor recommendations on its class record, dependent on the nature and severity of the noncompliance, the vessel may face restrictions in trading and could be required to be off-hire
while the issues are remedied and additionally, any such failure may be a violation of conditions and covenants in, e.g., our financial contracts and insurance agreements. This could
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Risk of Loss and Liability Insurance
General
Inherent in operation of any ocean-going vessel is the potential risk of major losses and liabilities, death or injury of persons, property damage caused by adverse weather
conditions, cargo loss or damage, mechanical failures, human error, collision, war, terrorism, piracy and other circumstances or events; pollution risk stemming from the transportation of
oil cargo and chemical cargo by sea and use of hydrocarbon fuel to power vessels; and business interruption due to political unrest, hostilities, labour strikes and boycotts and activist
disruption. The occurrence of any of these events may result in loss of revenues or increased costs and may have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of
operation.
OPA, which in certain circumstances imposes virtually unlimited liability on shipowners, operators, and bareboat charterers of any vessel trading in the U.S. exclusive economic
zone for certain oil pollution accidents in the United States, has made liability insurance more expensive for shipowners and operators trading in the U.S. market.
We carry insurance coverage as customary in the shipping industry and while we believe that our current insurance program, as described further below, is adequate to protect us
against the majority of accident-related risks involved in the conduct of our business and that an appropriate level of protection and indemnity against pollution liability and
environmental damage is maintained, not all risks can be insured against. There can be no assurance that the range of risks we are exposed to are adequately insured against, that any
particular claim will be paid, or that we in the future will be able to procure similar adequate insurance coverage on the terms and conditions equal to those we currently have.
More international conventions governing shipping, including bunkers and wreck removal as well as increased limits of liability under existing conventions, have resulted in
increased exposures and insurance costs. There may be circumstances where liabilities are difficult to insure or even become uninsurable. Our goal is to maintain an adequate insurance
coverage required by its marine operations and to actively monitor any new regulations and threats that may require us to revise our coverage.

Marine and War Risks Insurance
As an integral part of operating our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels, we maintain “hull and machinery”, “hull interest”, “war”, “protection and indemnity” insurances and other minor
and locally required coverages such as cybersecurity, U.S. COFR, etc. Each insurance is placed with first class marine insurers and collectively affords protection against the majority of
accident-related risks that may arise in connection with our marine operations, including damage to and loss of a vessel arising from marine perils such as collisions (including collision
liability to third-party vessels where included under the hull policy), grounding, damage caused by crew negligence and adverse weather conditions as well as war perils, including
political-type exposures.
In the case of hull and war exposures, our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels are insured at no less than an average of 100% of the fair market value, with the product tanker hull
deductible applicable to particular damage claims being $100,000 per vessel per casualty. Vessel values are currently reviewed twice a year. There is no deductible for a claim for total loss
or for claims brought under the war cover. Within our war policy, we have war loss of hire insurance where a one-day deductible applies.
Protection and Indemnity Insurance
Protection and indemnity (P&I) insurance is placed with P&I Clubs. We place P&I insurance with P&I Clubs who are members of the International Group of P&I Clubs. P&I
insurance indemnifies us in respect of limited contractual exposures including under crew contracts and third-party liabilities arising out of a vessel’s operation in accordance with the
rules of the P&I Club where such liabilities are not covered under the vessel’s hull and machinery insurance. P&I liabilities include, injury or death of our crew or third parties, cargo loss
or damage, claims arising from collisions, damage to third-party property, salvage, towing, wreck removal and pollution.
The current insurance limit for pollution is $1 billion per vessel per incident except where pollution arises from a war peril in which case the limit may be lower.
The 12 P&I Clubs that comprise the International Group insure approximately 90% of the world’s commercial blue water tonnage and have entered into a pooling agreement to
reinsure each association’s liabilities. The pooling is regulated by a contractual agreement which defines the risks that can be pooled and how the risks are to be shared between the
participating P&I Clubs.
The International Group’s website states that the pool provides a mechanism for sharing all claims in excess of $10 million. The limit of cover provided by International Group Clubs
is approximately $8.9 billion and is partly protected through a market reinsurance program from $100 million up to $3.1 billion. The reinsurance premium required by market underwriters is
passed on by all P&I Clubs forming part of the mutual P&I rate. The reinsurance premium could materially affect the P&I premium paid by our vessels. Furthermore, if the International
Group is unable to renew the reinsurance program, or should there be insufficient reinsurance capacity to maintain the current program, this may impact the limit International Group
Clubs can offer.
As a member of a P&I Clubs, which is a member of the International Group, we are subject to pay premium to the association based on our claim records as well as the claim record
of all other members of the association and our P&I Clubs to contribute to other P&I Clubs claims Pool excess of $10 million and any exposure placed with the International Group’s
captive, Hydra.
Permits and Authorisations
We are required to obtain certain permits, licenses and certificates with respect to vessels in our Hafnia Fleet. The permits, licenses, and certificates we are required to obtain
depend on several factors, including the cargo transported, the waters in which the vessel will operate, the nationality of the vessel’s crew and the age of the vessel. We believe we have
obtained all permits, licenses and certificates currently required to permit our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels to operate. Additional laws and regulations may be adopted which could limit
our ability to do business or increase the cost of us doing business.

Legal Proceedings
We have not been involved in any legal proceedings that we believe may have a significant effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity, and we are
not aware of any proceedings that are pending or threatened that may have a material effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity. From time to time, we
may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, principally property damage and personal injury claims. We expect that these claims would be covered
by insurance, subject to certain deductibles. However, those claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.
Sustainability Reporting
We measure our sustainability targets and goals under CSRD and the EU Taxonomy. Our CSRD Report 2024, furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K, dated April 30, 2025 details our
progress meeting such sustainability targets and goals. The content of the CSRD Report 2024 is not incorporated by reference into this Form 20-F.

Summary
• Product tanker markets had another strong year in 2024 overall, though earnings moderated in the second half of 2024 and into early 2025.
• Medium Range (MR) spot earnings averaged $18,320 per day in the first quarter of 2025, down compared to the elevated levels seen in 2022-2024 but still roughly in line
with long-term averages.
• Growth in product tanker demand is normalising following very strong expansion in recent years as geo-political disruption (including the impacts of the Russia/Ukraine
war and re-routing round the Cape of Good Hope) saw the average distance of global seaborne products trade grow by 7% p.a. (per annum) across 2023-2024.
• Product tanker demand is expected to increase by a more moderate ~2% in 2025 on the basis that Red Sea disruption continues through this year, with improved Russian
exports and trends in refinery start-ups also likely to lend underlying support to demand.
• While direct impacts on seaborne oil products trade from additional tariffs have been limited in early 2025, there are some downside risks for the sector from the
deterioration of the world economy.
• Product tanker supply growth is expected to pick up in 2025, following strong ordering in 2023-2024 (especially in the LR2 sector), with product tanker fleet growth of 5.5%
expected, up from 1.7% last year. The orderbook is currently equivalent to 21.0% of fleet capacity, up from a low of 5.3% in May 2022 but still well below the peak of 63.2%
in January 2007.
• Impact of emissions regulations may increase gradually over time, restricting growth in active supply.
Product Tanker Industry Overview
The maritime shipping industry is fundamental to international trade as the only practicable and cost effective means of transporting large volumes of many essential commodities
and finished goods. The product tanker industry plays a vital link in the global energy supply chain. Tanker markets are highly competitive, with ship charter hire rates sensitive to
changes in demand for and supply of tanker capacity, and are consequently cyclical and volatile. Tankers make up approximately one third of the world’s merchant fleet by tonnage,
including product tankers, which generally carry refined petroleum products.

In broad terms, tanker demand is a product of the amount of oil carried by tankers and the distance over which the cargo is transported. Seaborne oil trade volumes and patterns are
principally affected by changes in underlying oil demand linked to world and regional economic conditions, developments in supply of crude oil and refined petroleum products, shifts in
the regional prices of raw materials and products and changes in oil inventory levels.
A total of 3.0 billion tonnes of crude oil and oil products were moved by sea in 2024, of which 1.1 billion tonnes was oil products. Over the past ten years, oil products trade has
grown at an average rate of 0.8% p.a. in terms of tonnes though growth in terms of tonne-miles has been stronger, increasing by 2.8% p.a. Geo-political disruption has helped to drive
longer-haul trade in recent years (boosting tonne-mile trade growth), with the onset of the Russia/Ukraine war seeing a material increase in the average haul of products trade as Russian
producers have exported volumes outside Europe, while European buyers have pivoted towards buying increased products from U.S. and the Middle East. It is estimated that the re-
distribution of Russian/European oil products trade flows alone boosted products tonne-mile trade by ~14% across 2022 and 2023. Moreover, attacks on vessels in the Red Sea in late
2023 and through 2024 has seen several vessel owners and charterers decide to avoid transiting through the area. Total product tanker tonnage arrivals in the Gulf of Aden remained
~50% below 2023 levels in March 2025, with vessels re-routing around the Cape of Good Hope instead, lengthening voyage distances. This is currently providing a ~4% uplift to
products tonne-mile trade.
Oil products trade eased slightly on a volume basis last year, as reduced Russian exports and weak global refining margins saw products trade decline by 1.1% in 2024. However,
vessel re-routing away from the Suez Canal saw products tonne-mile trade grow by 7.0% in 2024.
In 2025, oil products trade is projected to increase by 1.2% in tonnes with Russian exports expected to recover somewhat (having been impacted by Ukrainian drone attacks since
start 2024), while additional refinery capacity in the Middle East and Africa is expected to support trade growth this year. There are a range of scenarios surrounding the
timing/magnitude of vessels returning to the Red Sea; on the basis that Red Sea disruption continues in 2025, products tonne-mile trade would grow by ~2% this year while if disruption
began to unwind later this year, products tonne-mile trade would grow by 0.4%.
While direct impacts on seaborne oil products trade from additional tariffs have been limited in early 2025, there are some downside risks for the sector from the deterioration of the
world economy. Recent trends and short-term projections are illustrated in the table below.

The forecast for 2025 is for full year 2025 and is subject to change. There is only limited trade and economic data for 2025 and 2026 and these forecasts and estimates are subjective and
dependent on general economic conditions. There is no guarantee that trends are sustainable. Tonne-mile trade growth projections are basis Red Sea disruption unwinding later in 2025
though stronger outcomes are possible if disruption continues.
Tanker supply is determined by the size of the existing fleet as measured by cargo carrying capacity. It is influenced by a variety of factors, primarily the size of the existing fleet, the
rate of deliveries of newbuilds, scrapping (the terms “scrapping”, “demolition” and “recycling” are used interchangeably), and other operating efficiency factors (for example, storage,
time in port or repair yards, congestion and vessel speed) which can influence the level of ‘active supply’ or ships available for charter. There are a total of 5,765 crude and product
tankers sized above 10,000 dwt, with an aggregate capacity of 653.8 million dwt. Product tankers constitute 29% of this fleet in tonnage terms, but 60% of the combined crude and
product tanker fleet in terms of vessel numbers.
Tanker fleet growth has been moderate in recent years, with product tanker fleet growth averaging 2.0% p.a. across 2019-2024. In 2024, fleet growth eased to +1.7% year-over-year,
the lowest level of expansion in over 20 years. Fleet growth in the crude tanker has been even more limited, with deliveries into the crude tanker fleet falling to a 30-year low last year.
However, fleet growth in the product tanker sector is expected to pick up in 2025, following firmer newbuild ordering trends in 2023-2024, with the orderbook equivalent to 21.0% of
fleet capacity in April 2025, up from a low of 5.3% in May 2022 but still well below the peak of 63.2% in January 2007. Overall, the product tanker fleet is projected to increase by 5.5% this
year, though ‘effective’ supply growth may be more moderate if some LR2 newbuilds, which account for ~50% of total product tanker orderbook capacity, initially trade dirty cargoes.
Handysize (10,000-54,999 dwt) product tanker supply growth is projected to pick-up to 4% in 2025.

Note (1): (f) = forecast.
Note (2): The product tanker fleet is classified as coated non-IMO graded tankers, IMO III graded tankers, IMO II graded tankers of 25,000 dwt and above which meet criteria: average
tank size >3,000 cubic meters (“cbm”), or, where average tank size is unknown, number of tanks <16 (for vessels of 25,000 dwt – 39,999 dwt), <18 tankers (for vessels of 40,000 dwt –
54,999 dwt), < 30 tanks (for vessels of 55,000 dwt – 84,999 dwt), tankers of unknown IMO grade of 25,000 dwt and above, uncoated non-IMO graded tankers below 55,000 dwt. Tankers
designated as specialised tankers and all tankers with stainless steel tanks are excluded.
Note (3): The data relating to product tankers is for the fleet sized 10,000 dwt and above.
Note (4): There is potential for the orderbook to be influenced by delays or cancellations.
The charter market is highly competitive. Charter rates are determined by a range of factors, including the underlying supply and demand balance for sea transportation capacity, as
well as specific vessel and voyage factors such as the individual route, location and specification of the vessel, and the reputation of the vessel and its manager.
While product tanker markets had another positive year in 2024, stronger conditions were weighted to the first half of 2024 when the impacts of Red Sea re-routing amplified pre-
existing market tightness. In the second half of 2024, product tanker earnings normalised as reduced Russian exports, weak global refining margins and an increased number of crude
tankers carrying clean cargoes saw earnings ease back. MR earnings eased back to $18,112 per day in the fourth quarter of 2024, the lowest quarterly average since 2021. In early 2025,
product tanker market conditions have picked up somewhat on the back of stronger Asian refining demand and improved arbitrage opportunities.
Looking ahead, product tanker markets may see some softening in 2025. Fleet growth is expected to pick-up while demand growth is expected to slow following robust gains across
2022-2024. However, while markets seem on course to ease back over the course of this year, the magnitude of the softening depends on a range of factors, including if/when Red Sea
disruption unwinds, the proportion of newly-delivered LR2s that initially trade dirty cargoes after delivery and the impact of trade tensions on oil demand and oil trade patterns.
Moreover, the geo-political environment remains very complex and also has the potential to impact markets significantly. In particular, a potential reversion of Russia/European products
trade flows to prior shorter-haul patterns would weaken product tanker demand significantly, though this still remains an unlikely scenario currently.

The regulatory and policy framework surrounding shipping’s environmental impacts has continued to ramp up over recent years. In 2023, the IMO set targets for shipping to reach
net-zero emissions ‘by or around’ 2050, and to reduce GHG emissions by at least 20% (striving for 30%) by 2030 vs the 2008 level, and by at least 70% (striving for 80%) by 2040. The first
of the IMO’s regulations which aims to move the industry towards these targets, the ‘short-term measures’, came into force in start 2023 and includes the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship
Index (“EEXI”) which is a technical operational measure requiring improvements in efficiency compared to a baseline level, and the Carbon Intensity Indicator (“CII”), an operational
‘rating’ derived from vessel CO2 emissions. A review of the short-term measures is ongoing, due to be completed by start 2026, and some key issues in focus are estimating CII reduction
factors for the years 2027-2030 and a shift towards a continuous improvement plan for all ships, rather than just those that are D-E rated.
A range of ‘mid-term measures’, the next phase of IMO emissions reduction regulation, is currently under discussion at the IMO; it has been agreed that the basket of measures will
include a technical element; a ‘goal-based marine fuel standard’, which sets a limit on the GHG intensity of marine fuels and tightens over time, and an economic element which involves
a maritime GHG emissions pricing mechanism. Revenues from the economic measure may then fund e-fuel rebates, ‘green’ technology R&D and to support shipping’s fuelling transition
in developing countries. However, there remains significant debate around the economic element; a levy on GHG emissions (with proposals ranging from $18.75-$150 per tonne of CO
2
equivalent) has popularity with several IMO Member States, though key economies such as China and the U.S. support a credits trading system integrated with the fuel standard.
Emissions regulation in the EU has also been in focus; FuelEU Maritime, which entered into force in January 2025, establishes limits on the well-to-wake GHG intensity of marine fuels
used on voyages to/from EEA ports, which tighten over time. In 2025, the average GHG intensity must be 2% below the baseline (91.16g CO
2
equivalent/MJ) which tightens to 6% by
2030 and eventually to 80% by 2050. Furthermore, the share of applicable shipping emissions covered by the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) increased at start 2025; shipping
companies now need to surrender allowances for 70% of their applicable emissions in 2025, from 40% in 2024.
These regulatory developments, combined with other developing governmental and policy requirements and charterer criteria are expected to have a range of impacts on the
shipping fleet and markets. In particular, adverse impacts on older and less efficient vessels are expected given the potential CAPEX and fuel costs involved in meeting new regulations,
potentially leading to reduced operating speeds, increased retrofitting of Energy Saving Technologies (“ESTs”) or increasing the rationale for demolition of these older vessels. Progress
in renewal of the fleet may be uneven, and there is potential for emissions policies to impact supply/demand balances (and increased ‘tiering’ of markets) via changes in chartering policy,
demolition levels and speed trends, potentially supporting market upside volatility.
The Product Tanker Industry
While crude tankers transport crude oil from points of production to oil refineries or storage locations, product tankers can carry both refined and unrefined petroleum products,
including crude oil, “dirty products” (including fuel oil, vacuum gas oil and carbon black feedstock), and “clean products” (e.g., gas oil, gasoline, kerosene and naphtha). Transportation
of clean products typically requires a vessel with coated tanks. Most product tankers have coated tanks, allowing vessels to transport various grades of refined petroleum products,
vegetable oils and easy chemicals without degrading the vessel’s steel or contaminating the cargo. Dirty products, however, are transported by a mixture of coated and uncoated tankers,
as trading patterns and market requirements dictate. “Dirty products” require heating to lower the viscosity of the cargo during transport, but require minimal tank or line preparation as
contamination of the cargo is not a crucial consideration. Product tankers make up 60% of the combined crude and product tanker fleet (above 10,000 dwt) in terms of vessel numbers
and 29% in terms of dwt, and are a key part of the global tanker trade. Although the product tanker market exhibits some independent behaviour from the crude tanker market, there is
also correlation between the two sectors and changes in one market may influence the other.

Product Tanker Demand
Introduction
Demand for oil tankers is dictated by world oil demand and trade, and the location and accessibility of oil products supplies relative to the principal locations for discharging such
cargoes. The metric of tonne-miles is often used as a proxy for oil tanker demand and is a product of (a) the amount of cargo transported in tankers, multiplied by (b) the distance which
cargo is transported. Macroeconomic forces, both globally and regionally, have a significant impact upon world oil products consumption and, consequently, upon the volume of oil
products to be transported by sea. The average distance of sea transportation of oil products is affected by trading patterns, which are determined by a combination of economic and
geographic factors, refinery developments, regional products imbalances, seasonal variations, oil price trends and differentials in oil products prices between regions, environmental
influences, exceptional climatic conditions and geopolitical events.
Oil demand cycles move broadly in line with developments in the global economy and are often a key factor influencing tanker demand. In 2024, oil accounted for around a third of
world energy consumption. Oil demand has increased from 91.9 million barrels per day (“m bpd”) in 2013 to 103.1m bpd in 2024, driven by increasing world population, global economic
expansion and rising oil consumption in the transportation industries in developing countries. The developing world has been the key driver of continued growth in global oil
consumption, with oil demand in these nations growing by a CAGR of ~2% p.a. over the past ten years, whilst oil demand in OECD countries has remained relatively steady.
In 2024, global oil consumption growth slowed to +0.8% year-over-year as momentum in the ‘post-Covid’ demand recovery faded. European/U.S. oil consumption held steady while
Chinese demand growth cooled last year. In 2025-2026, oil demand is expected to continue growing at a moderate pace, driven by steady demand growth in Asia, though Chinese
demand trends remain highly in focus (where increased adoption of EVs and LNG-fuelled trucks is displacing gasoil/gasoline demand). Global oil consumption is projected to increase by
~1% p.a. across 2025-2026, reaching ~105m bpd next year.
Key Oil Products Trade Trends
Seaborne oil products trade volumes increased by a CAGR of 0.8% across 2014-2024, though trends have varied during this period. After growing by a steady c.1% p.a. in 2017-
2018 and falling by ~3% in 2019, oil products trade decreased by 11% in 2020 on the back of sharp impacts on global oil demand and refinery runs from the Covid-19 pandemic. Trade
volumes then picked up across 2021-2023 on the back of stronger oil demand ‘post-Covid’.

Table of Contents
In 2024, global seaborne oil products trade fell by 1.1% in tonnes (standing at 22.7m bpd), equivalent to 8% of total global seaborne trade. Softer oil products trade came against the
backdrop of weaker refinery margins as well as Russian exports declining by ~12% year-over-year amid significant refinery outages.
However, while trends in products trade have been mixed on a volume basis in recent years, growth on a tonne-mile basis has been stronger. In particular, the re-distribution of
Russian/European flows since the onset of the Russia-Ukraine conflict towards longer-haul flows boosted products tonne-mile trade by ~14% across 2022-2023. Moreover, shifts in
trading patterns due to the impact of Red Sea disruption saw products tonne-mile trade grow by 7% in 2024, while shifts in regional refining capacity also lent support.
In 2025, seaborne oil products trade is projected to grow by 1.2% in tonnes, with growth on the exporter side driven largely by the Middle East and Asia on the back of further
refinery capacity expansion, while moderate growth in global oil consumption may also support. In tonne-mile terms, trade is projected to grow by ~2% on the basis that Red Sea
disruption continues in 2025, while if Red Sea disruption began to ease later this year tonne mile trade would grow by 0.4%. While direct impacts on seaborne oil products trade from
additional tariffs have been limited in early 2025, there are some downside risks for the sector from the deterioration of the world economy.
Looking to 2026, products trade is projected to grow by ~2% to 23.5m bpd, amid steady gains in global oil demand and refinery capacity (e.g., in India/Middle East Gulf). Tonne-mile
trade is projected to remain fairly steady in 2026 (assuming Red Sea disruption begins to unwind later in 2026).
Key Import Trends
In recent years, products imports into different regions have been shaped by a range of factors, including oil demand, the Russia-Ukraine war, Red Sea disruption, refinery margins,
as well as developments in refinery capacity.
Imports into Asia grew by a CAGR of 1.0% across 2014‑2024, with increasing Chinese refinery capacity limiting China’s import volumes to some extent, though in 2024 Chinese
imports were supported by increased fuel oil imports by independent refiners amid tight availability of crude import quotas. Meanwhile, refinery closures in Oceania have supported firm
import growth into the region, with volumes increasing by a CAGR of 8.7% across 2014-2024 to 1.2m bpd, with imports often sourced from East Asia. Imports into Europe had been
supported across 2010-2016 by refinery closures in the region, but impacts from economic headwinds, the Covid-19 pandemic and efficiency gains on oil demand has limited import
volumes in recent years (imports totalled 6.0m bpd in 2024, down from 6.8m bpd in 2016, though this represents some improvement from the Covid-impacted low of 5.6m bpd in 2020).
Imports into Africa have been supported by gains in regional oil demand and a lack of sufficient domestic refinery capacity, as well as refinery closures in South Africa in recent years,
with total African imports growing by a CAGR of 2.1% across 2014-2024 to reach 2.0m bpd. However, imports into Africa did soften year-over-year in 2024 on the back of significant
refinery capacity gains, supported most notably by the beginning of operations of the Dangote refinery (total capacity: 0.65m bpd).

Table of Contents
In 2025, global import growth of 1.2% to 1.1 billion tonnes is expected to be led principally by Asia amid continued steady oil demand and refinery capacity growth, with some
import growth is also expected in Europe amid expected refinery closures.
Key Export Trends
The Middle East has been a key and growing products exporter in recent years. Shipments from the region grew by a CAGR of 5.9% across 2014-2024 to reach 4.6m bpd, supported
largely by expansion in regional refinery capacity (notably in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates). Meanwhile, exports from North America and Europe have been steadier (CAGR
of 0.7% and -1.2% respectively across 2014-2024) amid reductions in refinery capacity. Elsewhere, Russian exports were softer in 2024 (falling by 12% year-over-year), with Ukrainian
drone strikes on Russian refineries significantly reducing refinery capacity and throughput.
In 2025, export growth is projected from a range of regions, including the Middle East, Asia and Africa amid continued refinery capacity expansion. Furthermore, Russian volumes
are likely to rebound this year as some refineries come back online, with Russian products exports in the first quarter of 2025 reportedly up compared to the softer levels seen across the
fourth quarter of 2024, though still down year-over-year amid fresh sanctions and further Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian refineries.

Trading Patterns
The average distance (or ‘haul’) of seaborne oil products trade remained relatively steady across 2012-2019, with growth in products volumes fairly evenly spread in this period
between inter-regional routes (e.g. Middle Eastern exports to Asia, Europe and North America, European exports to West Africa, and North American exports to South America) and
intra-regional trades (notably within Asia and Europe). However, the average distance of seaborne products trade trended upwards across 2020-2024, increasing by 19% to c.3,500 miles.
This largely reflected the impact of Russia-related trade pattern shifts as well as refinery capacity changes, with start-ups and expansions in the Middle East, West Africa, China, and
India, and closures in North America, South Africa and Australia supporting increased trade on longer-haul inter-regional routes. Amid a range of sanctions and policies, European
countries cut imports from Russia (volumes fell to c.0.4m bpd in 2024, down 46% versus 2021), instead increasing imports from further-afield suppliers (volumes shipped from the Middle
East, North America and Asia stood at 2.0m bpd in 2024, up 75% versus 2021). Meanwhile, despite a reduction in Russian exports overall in 2024, long-haul volumes remain elevated,
with 0.7m bpd exported to Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America last year, up 31% versus 2021. Moreover, Red Sea disruption (beginning in December 2023) has added notable
support to products trade average haul due to significant levels of vessel re-routing via the Cape of Good Hope in order to avoid vessel attacks in the Red Sea, with Cape of Good Hope
arrivals up 101% versus 2023 average in tonnage terms in March 2025.
There remain a range of scenarios surrounding vessels returning to the Red Sea and this is providing uncertainty for tonne-mile projections. On the basis that Red Sea disruption
continues across 2025, products tonne-mile trade would grow by ~2% while if the Red Sea disruption began to ease later in 2025, tonne-mile trade growth would be limited to +0.4%.
Continued shifts in refinery capacity are providing some support (e.g. ongoing expansion in Middle Eastern and Indian exports, and growing imports into Japan and Europe following
refinery closures), as well as continued longer-haul trade patterns for Russian exports and European imports. Looking ahead, seaborne products trade average haul may ease slightly
next year on the basis that Red Sea disruption begins to unwind later on in 2026,while tonne-mile trade growth is expected to hold steady.
Trends In Refining Capacity
Trends in refinery capacity and throughput levels are a key driver of seaborne products trade patterns. At the start of March 2025, global refinery capacity totalled an estimated
101.7m bpd. Over a third of this capacity was located in Asia, with significant capacity also located in North America, Europe and the Middle East. Global refinery capacity has generally
expanded steadily over time to meet underlying growth in consumption of oil products, and has grown by around 7m bpd since 2014, although capacity did contract in 2020 and 2021 due
to several closures (notably in Europe) following impacts from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Table of Contents
However, over the last decade, refinery capacity additions in the Middle East and Asia (particularly China) have been key drivers of overall global capacity expansion, with China
adding 2.1m bpd of capacity in this period, and the Middle East adding 2.2m bpd (including the start-up of the 0.6m bpd Al-Zour refinery in Kuwait in late 2022 and the Duqum refinery in
Oman of 0.23m bpd in late 2023). The Indian refining sector also registered expansion, adding 1.0m bpd of capacity since 2015. Additionally, African refinery capacity increased by ~80%
year-over-year in 2024, with notable support coming on the back of the opening of the Dangote refinery in Nigeria (0.65m bpd). Meanwhile, the refining industries in OECD nations in
Europe and Japan have contracted as moderating oil demand trends in these regions has seen some legacy capacity closed. Following a stronger period in 2022-2023, global refining
margins weakened in 2024 against the backdrop of increased refining capacity and slowing oil demand growth.
Steady expansion in global refinery capacity is expected in coming years, driven largely by refinery expansion/development projects in India, China, and Africa, though offset
somewhat by losses in Europe, with global capacity projected to expand by ~1% across 2025. Expected start-ups scheduled to come online later this year include projects in, for example,
China (Yantai, 0.4m bpd), Nigeria (Akwa Ibom, 0.2m bpd), and India (Rajasthan, 0.2m bpd).
Oil Price Trends
Developments in the oil price environment can also impact seaborne oil products trade. Oil prices softened across 2024, despite significant cuts to production from OPEC+ as
slowing global demand growth (particularly in China) impacted, while growing supplies (mainly from non-OPEC producers, such as the U.S. and Brazil) also pressured prices. The price of
Brent crude averaged $80 per barrel, down marginally year-over-year. In early 2025, prices have continued to soften with the announcement that OPEC+ will begin unwinding output
curbs faster than expected and increased trade tensions seeing prices fall to $65per barrel in early April.
Trends in inventory levels also shape products trade trends. After products inventory levels built significantly during the first half of 2020 due to impacts from the Covid-19
pandemic on oil demand, in some regions the subsequent rebound in oil demand took time to filter through to improved products import volumes, while domestic stock levels decreased.
Throughout 2024, U.S. refined oil product inventories experienced fluctuations amid increased refinery runs, as U.S. refiners operated at over 90% capacity to address persistently low
fuel inventories and rising demand for gasoline and diesel. Conversely, European refined product inventories remained tight, with low stock levels prompting increased imports to
replenish supplies and meet regional demand.

Product Tanker Supply
Tanker supply is determined by the size of the existing fleet as measured by cargo carrying capacity. It is influenced by a variety of factors, primarily the size of the existing fleet, the
rate of deliveries of newbuilds, scrapping, and other operating efficiency factors (for example, storage, time in port or repair yards, congestion and vessel speed) which can influence the
level of ‘active supply’ or ships available for charter.
The global oil tanker fleet is generally divided into several key vessel types, distinguished principally by carrying capacity. The major types of crude and product tankers are shown
in the following table.
Crude and Product Tanker Vessel Types
Class of Tanker Cargo Capacity (DWT) Typical Use
Ultra Large Crude
Carriers ("ULCCs")
> 320,000
Long-haul crude oil transportations from the Middle East Gulf, West Africa and the Americas, with main
destination being the Far East and Northern Europe.Very Large Crude
Carriers ("VLCCs")
200,000 - 319,999
Suezmax 125,000 - 199,999
Medium-haul crude oil transportations from the Middle East Gulf, West Africa, Black Sea, Mediterranean and the
US. Longer-haul shipments from Russia to Asia have increased since the onset of the war between Russia and
Ukraine.
Aframax/LR2 85,000 - 124,999
Short-to-medium haul crude oil trades, with major trade routes including intra-regional routes in Europe, the
US/Caribbean, and Asia and growing volumes from the US to Europe and elsewhere. Long-haul shipments from
Russia to Asia are also often carried on Aframaxes. LR2 tankers typically trade clean products on medium-to-long
haul routes, e.g. from the Middle East Gulf to the Far East or Europe.
Panamax/LR1 55,000 - 84,999
Carriage of crude oil and clean and dirty petroleum products cargoes. Transportations often carried out on the
Caribbean to US trade lane, along with North Sea, Far East & Mediterranean routes. Large volumes of clean
products also carried from the Middle East to Asia or Europe.
MR 40,000-54,999
Flexible vessels involved in medium-haul petroleum products trades both in the Atlantic Basin and intra-
Asian/Middle East/Indian Sub-Continent trades.
Short Range
(SR)/Handy
25,000 - 39,999
Short-haul of mostly refined petroleum products worldwide, usually on local or regional trade routes (notably
intra-Europe).

Source: Clarksons Research, April 2025. Product Tanker Total refers to all vessels of 10,000+ dwt.
Note (1): The product tanker fleet is classified as coated non-IMO graded tankers, IMO III graded tankers, IMO II graded tankers of 25,000 dwt and above which meet criteria: average
tank size >3,000cbm, or, where average tank size is unknown, number of tanks <16 (for vessels of 25,000 dwt – 39,999 dwt), <18 tankers (for vessels of 40,000 dwt – 54,999 dwt), < 30 tanks
(for vessels of 55,000 dwt – 84,999 dwt), tankers of unknown IMO grade of 25,000 dwt and above, uncoated non-IMO graded tankers below 55,000 dwt. Tankers designated as
specialised tankers and all tankers with stainless steel tanks are excluded.
Note (2): The data relating to product tankers is for the fleet sized 10,000 dwt and above.
The fleet of product tankers increases as a result of the construction and delivery of newbuilds to the fleet and decreases as a result of the removal of older vessels by demolition or
otherwise, or through vessel loss. Over a short-term period, ‘active’ vessel supply is also affected by other factors, such as lay-up, use of vessels for oil storage, or if vessels are
awaiting repairs or dry docked. Trends in vessel productivity can also influence effective supply. Although oil product tankers are capable of transporting crude oil, dirty oil products
and clean oil products, the transportation of dirty products or crude oil requires significant cleaning operations, which can affect the number of ships immediately available to carry clean
refined products. Crude oil tankers can also carry refined oil products, once having been cleaned up. Permanent removal of a vessel can take place within a relatively short time frame,
typically within three months. The construction of a newbuild products tanker, however, typically requires between 18 months and three years from contract signing to delivery of the
vessel by the shipyard, depending on the schedule of the relevant shipyard’s orderbook.
Product tanker fleet capacity (vessels 10,000+ dwt) grew by a CAGR of 3.3% between the start of 2015 and the start of 2025, a more moderate rate of increase than the 2000-2010
CAGR of 8.4%, when fleet growth was boosted by strong newbuild investment amid robust product tanker markets conditions during 2004-2008. In recent years, product tanker fleet
growth has been relatively muted, averaging 2.0% p.a. across 2019-2024, largely reflecting the more limited contracting appetite in this period. However, there was a notable uptick in
contracting activity across 2023-2024, driving a pickup in projected fleet expansion in the short-term. Considering potential trends in deliveries and scrapping, robust growth of 5.5%
projected in 2025, followed by 5.8% in 2026, the fastest growth level in a decade. Fleet growth is likely to be strongest in the LR2 sector (11.8% fleet capacity expansion expected in 2025),
while fleet growth in the MR/Handy sector may be slightly more moderate, picking up to 3.9%.

Product tanker deliveries (vessels 10,000+ dwt) totalled 51 units of 3.4m dwt in 2024, the lowest number of ships delivered in any year in over 20 years and ~60% below the 2010s
average of 134 units of 7.9m dwt. More limited delivery volumes came on the back of a historically moderate orderbook in recent years, though the pace of deliveries has picked up in
early 2025 and is expected to remain elevated across this year (147 vessels of 9.7m dwt currently scheduled to deliver this year) and 2026.
The level of scrapping is generally impacted by current and prospective charter market conditions in relation to scrapping prices, while other factors also impact, including
operating, repair and survey costs. Product tanker demolition (vessels 10,000+ dwt) has averaged 35 vessels of 1.4m dwt p.a. over the last ten years, with a recent peak of 81 units of 3.6m
dwt seen in 2021 during a period of weak earnings. Scrapping in 2024 was extremely limited, with just 3 units of 0.1m dwt reported sold for demolition, the lowest recorded level for >25
years. This primarily reflected the impact of continued strong market conditions, as well as appetite for some older tonnage on the secondhand market amidst growth in the ‘shadow’ or
‘dark’ tanker fleet. More moderate market conditions may see vessel scrapping begin to pick up in 2025-2026. Going forwards, in addition to market developments, the accelerating
regulatory environment is eventually expected to become an increasingly important factor in scrapping decision making, with potential for owners of older units to increasingly scrap
ships as environmental and emissions regulations tighten further. Significant ‘fleet renewal’ is expected amidst an ageing product tanker fleet; at the start of April 2025 the fleet had an
average age of 13.9 years (up from 9.5 years at the start of 2015), whilst 16% of product tanker fleet capacity was aged 20+ years and 47% was aged 15+ years.

Average product tanker vessel speeds have generally trended downwards over the last c.15 years, against a backdrop of periods of market pressure and an increasing focus on
reducing vessel emissions. Product tanker speeds averaged 11.3 knots in 2024, down by ~20% since 2008 and slowing by 0.4% year-over-year as market conditions eased back across
last year. Building pressure from environmental regulations could lead to further downwards movement in vessel speeds going forwards, particularly for older ships.
Newbuild demand is affected by newbuilding prices in relation to current and anticipated charter market conditions. The orderbook indicates the number of vessels which have
been contracted at shipyards but are yet to be delivered to owners and is indicative of how vessel supply may develop in the coming years. The product tanker orderbook (vessels
10,000+ dwt) stood at 565 units of 40.1m dwt at the start of April 2025, equivalent to 21% of existing fleet capacity in dwt terms. The orderbook increased across 2024 following stronger
contracting volumes across 2023-2024, with the orderbook having risen from 24.7m dwt at the start of 2024 (equivalent to 13.3% of fleet capacity) and a recent low of 9.5m dwt (5.3% of
fleet capacity) in May 2022.

Note (1): The product tanker fleet is classified as coated non-IMO graded tankers, IMO III graded tankers, IMO II graded tankers of 25,000 dwt and above which meet criteria: average
tank size >3,000cbm, or, where average tank size is unknown, number of tanks <16 (for vessels of 25,000 dwt – 39,999 dwt), <18 tankers (for vessels of 40,000 dwt – 54,999 dwt), < 30 tanks
(for vessels of 55,000 dwt – 84,999 dwt), tankers of unknown IMO grade of 25,000 dwt and above, uncoated non-IMO graded tankers below 55,000 dwt. Tankers designated as
specialised tankers and all tankers with stainless steel tanks are excluded.
Note (2): Going forward, the orderbook may be influenced by delays, cancellations and the re-negotiation of contracts. Due to these technical and contractual issues, there is currently
some uncertainty surrounding the orderbook. The figures quoted above relate to the orderbook as at March 1, 2025 and take no account for these potential delivery problems. In
addition further newbuild orders will be placed going forward.
Note (3): The data relating to product tankers is for the fleet sized 10,000 dwt and above.
Product tanker contracting continued at a firm pace in 2024, supported by the extended period of strong vessel earnings across 2022-2024. The volume of product tanker orders
placed (vessels 10,000+ dwt) averaged 5.4m dwt p.a. across 2018-2022, almost half the average of the previous five-year period. In comparison, 299 product tankers of 21.1m dwt were
ordered in 2024, the strongest annual total in capacity terms since 2006 (following 263 product tankers of 18.5m dwt contracted in 2023). Orders were placed with delivery scheduled in
2025-2029, with total product tanker deliveries in 2025-2026 projected to tick up notably, particularly in the LR2 sector. In early 2025, ordering has been slower following firm volumes
across 2022-2024, while uncertainty surrounding the USTR investigation into Chinese shipbuilding is also impacting.

The overall comparison between supply growth and demand growth can be seen in the graph below:
The Product Tanker Market
The charter market is highly competitive and based primarily on the offered charter rate, the location and technical specification of the vessel and the reputation of the vessel and its
manager. Typically, the agreed terms are based on standard industry charter parties prepared to streamline the negotiation and documentation processes. The most common types of
employment structures for a tanker are spot market, COA, time charter, bareboat charter and pool employment. When employed in a pool, the vessel is part of a fleet of similar vessels,
brought together by their owners in order to exploit efficiencies and benefit from a revenue sharing mechanism. The pool operator sources different cargo shipment contracts and directs
the vessels in an efficient way to service these obligations. Pools can benefit from profit and loss sharing effects, sharing geographical market exposure and potentially less idle time
through coordination of vessel movements, but vessels sailing in a pool remain vulnerable to adverse market conditions.
Freight and hire rates for product tankers trading under spot charters are very sensitive to fluctuating demand for and supply of vessels, and rates are consequently volatile. Rates
are also strongly affected by seasonal fluctuations in demand from end consumers. While trends in the product tanker market are heavily impacted by product tanker supply and demand
trends, typically market conditions have also been well correlated with crude oil tanker market developments, partly reflecting the fact that some crude and products tankers have the
potential to act as ‘swing tonnage’ between the crude, dirty and clean product markets.
Rates and earnings in the product tanker market were strong across 2024 overall, though markets did soften across the second half of 2024. Average clean MR spot earnings
averaged $27,484/day in 2024, down 5% y-o-y though still 56% above the 10-year average. Product tanker markets received support last year from vessels re-routing away from the Red
Sea, which lengthened voyage distances and added ~4% to products tonne-mile trade last year. Earnings were particularly strong in the first half of 2024 as the impacts from vessel re-
routing amplified by an already tight supply-demand balance (against the backdrop of longer-haul Russian/European imports), particularly in the LR market with LR2 earnings spiking to
> $100,000/day in early 2024 on some routes. Over the first half of 2024, LR2 earnings on the Middle East Gulf-Japan route averaged $54,363/day, the strongest half-year on record.
However, across the summer, markets began to ease back against the backdrop of seasonally softer conditions during the third quarter while reduced Russian exports, soft global
refinery margins and an increased number of crude tankers carrying clean cargoes also impacted markets across second half of 2024. Product tanker markets have improved across early
2025, particularly in the LR sectors on the back of increasing refinery throughput, firmer Asian demand for a range of products and increased arbitrage opportunities. LR earnings on the
Middle East Gulf-Japan route averaged $32,873 per day in March, standing at the highest level since July 2024, though still ~40% below year-ago levels. Meanwhile, MR markets have
also improved across early 2025, with average clean MR earnings rising to $23,784/day in late March, the highest level in 8 months.

The above statistics are based on a non-scrubber fitted, ‘non-eco’ MR product tanker built in c.2010 and a non-scrubber fitted, ‘non-eco’ LR2 product tanker built in 2010. Vessels
fitted with scrubbers and those built more recently with ‘eco’ specifications are generally able to achieve premiums on these levels. For example, clean earnings for a c.2015-built ‘eco’
scrubber-fitted MR averaged $31,315 per day in 2024, compared with $25,698 per day for a c.2010 built unit (non-eco, non-scrubber fitted).
The vessels used in the time charter estimates are standard modern vessels in this market sector. Clarksons Brokers estimate time charter rates each week for these standard vessels,
which is informed by transactions and ongoing negotiations associated with vessels of similar size. There is no guarantee that current rates are sustainable and rates may increase and
decrease significantly over short periods of time.
Product tanker asset values have also fluctuated over time, and there is a relationship between changes in asset values and the charter market. Newbuilding prices remain elevated,
despite some initial signs of easing in early 2025. In March 2025, the guideline newbuilding price for an MR stood at $49.5m, down 5% since the start of 2025, though still up by ~40%
since the start of 2020. While limited slot availability has continued to provide support for newbuild prices across 2024 and into early 2025, slowing newbuild ordering activity and
moderating steel prices have seen newbuild asset prices ease.
Meanwhile, secondhand product tanker prices have also eased over recent months against the backdrop of softer product tanker charter markets. The guideline price for a 5 year
old secondhand MR tanker stood at $41m in March 2025, down 19% from a 17-year high of $50.5m in August 2024 but still 37% above start 2022. Asset values for LR and Handy tankers
have followed similar trends to MR tankers.

Competitive Landscape
The product tanker market is comprised of a variety of ship owners and operators of varying sizes. A vessel is either operated directly by the owner, or by a third party. This
includes the use of commercial pool management. Pools are an important feature of the product tanker market, and have been relatively successful compared to other sectors. Pools are
arrangements in which owners work together to organise the commercial management of a group of vessels, allowing them to share revenues, while potentially minimising idle time.
Conversely, the decision not to compete can mean that pooled vessels are prone to sharing the effects of any adverse market conditions. The leading owners within the product tanker
market are detailed below. Ownership of product tankers is more consolidated than in the bulk carrier sector. The below table reflects the ownership of vessels and therefore, vessel
operators who have financed one or more vessels through sale and lease-back arrangements may operate a higher number of vessels than the number of vessels listed in the respective
segments below. Additionally, some of the owners listed in the below tables are not operators of vessels and therefore not competitors in the market for the operation of product tankers.
Certain tankers capable of carrying chemicals are not included in the below tables.

been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB.
For a discussion of our operating results in 2023 compared with 2022, reference is made to “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” included in our
Registration Statement on Form 20-F, filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024, as amended by our Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form 20-F, filed with the SEC on
April 1, 2024 (our “2024 Registration Statement”).
Our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars ($) unless otherwise indicated. Any amounts converted from another non-U.S. currency to U.S. dollars in this
Annual Report are at the rate applicable at the relevant date, or the average rate during the applicable period.
Overview
We are an international shipping company providing seaborne transportation of refined oil, other petroleum products and certain chemical products. We operate directly and
through our Pools a modern fleet of the following vessel types: LR2, LR1, MR, Handy, and Specialised vessels. See “Item 4. Information on the Company – B. Business Overview – Our
Business” for additional information about the vessels in our Combined Fleet.
We operate the following ten pools that we refer to collectively as the Pools: LR2 Pool, LR1 Pool, Panamax Pool, MR Pool, Handy Pool, Chemical-MR Pool, Chemical-Handy Pool
and the Small, Intermediate and City Pools, which are collectively referred to as the Specialised Pool. See “Item 4 – Information on the Company – B. Business Overview – Our Business
– The Pools” for additional information about our Pools. The majority of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels are employed on voyage charters and time charters through our Pools,
whereby earnings are subject to profit sharing with other pool participants. Our Pool Managers receive only management fees in connection with such services. Some of our Hafnia
Vessels are also employed on time charters and voyage charters outside of the Pools. For our JV Vessels, some are operated through the Pools and some are on time charters outside the
Pools.
We believe that our pool employment strategy provides us with a competitive advantage in optimising the earnings of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels. By operating a large
number of vessels, our commercial pools offer operating efficiencies, thereby enhancing utilisation rates, which we believe enables us to outperform the spot market over time. We
strategically employ our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels in pools that are primarily focused on spot market voyage charters, which we believe positions us to capitalise on improving rates
in the product tanker market. In addition, our strategy allows us to more efficiently deploy our vessels to limit idle time and provide more stable earnings relative to our non-pooled peers
participating in the spot market. Importantly, our pool employment strategy will also allow us to directly benefit from the anticipated fuel savings of our newbuild vessels, as under spot
market voyage charters we are responsible for all voyage expenses, including bunker fuel costs, which are generally the largest expense.
Please see below an overview of the utilisation rate for our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Utilisation rate is

Our utilisation rates are largely unaffected by increases or decreases in our fleet size. This is due to our definition of operating days (as defined further below) which only excludes
technical off-hire days. The reason we only exclude technical off-hire days and not commercial off-hire days is a result of the way we employ our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels. When
our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels are not employed on long-term time charters, they are almost always employed within our Pools which mean that they will earn revenue from the Pool
regardless of whether they are commercially on-hire or off-hire due to the profit-sharing mechanisms in the Pools. Our utilisation rates are therefore primarily affected by planned and
unplanned drydocking and other repairs, surveys, and maintenance. When we acquire new vessels, we may have to perform maintenance, repairs or modifications to the vessels and
change the vessels’ technical manager which may lead to technical off-hire days.
Revenue
We generate revenue by charging our customers for the transportation of their refined oil products, other petroleum products, and chemical products using our Hafnia Vessels and
TC Vessels. Revenue primarily consists of revenue from voyage charters and time charters. Revenue from voyage charters also includes revenue from vessels on COAs or CVCs or
short-term time charters (less than six months) and therefore the main distinction between the revenue streams is whether the underlying contracts are short-term or long-term contracts.
For our agency-based Pools, we have assessed that we have limited rights as Pool Managers. We account for the management fees we receive on External Vessels (Pool Vessels and
JV Vessels employed in the Pools) as other operating income. For our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels employed in the Pools, we recognise gross revenue in Revenue (Hafnia Vessels and
TC Vessels).
For our disponent-owner Pools, we have assessed that the rights conferred from the time charter arrangement in the pool agreements under the ‘disponent-owner’ model provided
us with the control of a right to a service to be performed using the vessels in such Pools for the end charterers, and hence allowing us as the pool manager to recognise revenue as a
principal in line with IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We recognise gross revenue for all vessels employed in such Pools, in Revenue (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels)
for our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels, and Revenue (External Vessels in Disponent-Owner Pools) for the External Vessels. We continue to account for the management fees we receive on
External Vessels employed in the Pools as other operating income.
Revenue is affected by hire/freight rates and the number of operating days a vessel operates.
We account for investments in the JV Vessels as equity investments. Earnings from those vessels are not consolidated in our financial statements, however if JV Vessels are
employed in disponent-owner Pools, we will recognise revenue from such vessels in Revenue (External Vessels in Disponent-Owner Pools). Therefore, although we may receive
dividends from JV companies, our Revenue (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels) does not include revenue from our JV Vessels.
The following describes the two basic types of contractual arrangements; voyage charters and time charters:
Voyage charters in the spot market. The spot market generally refers to the segment of the market where vessels are employed for a single voyage. A vessel earns income from each
individual voyage. Spot market pricing, which can be volatile, is influenced by a number of factors, including the number of competing vessels, the number of cargoes available, oil
pricing and arbitrage, worldwide events and weather. Idle time between voyages is possible depending on the availability of cargo and positioning of the vessel. Under a spot market
voyage charter, the vessel owner pays for the voyage expenses (less specified amounts covered by the contract), including bunker and port costs, and the vessel operating expenses.
All freight voyage charter revenues and voyage expenses are recognised on a percentage of completion basis. Load-to-discharge basis is used in determining the percentage of
completion for all spot voyages and voyages servicing contracts of affreightment. Under the load-to-discharge method, freight voyage charter revenue is recognised evenly over the
period from the point of loading of the current voyage to the point of discharge of the current voyage. We do not begin recognising revenue until we have entered into a contract with a
customer, even if the vessel has discharged its cargo and is sailing to the anticipated load port on its next voyage, nor do we recognise revenue when a vessel is off-hire.

Time charter. Under a time charter, vessels are chartered to customers for a fixed period of time at rates that are generally fixed, but may contain a variable component based on
inflation, interest rates or changes in current market rates. Under time charters, we operate and are responsible for crewing and arranging for technical management for the vessels. We
also bear other operating expenses, such as repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, lube oil, communications expenses and technical management fees of the vessels. Revenue from
time charters, accounted for as operating leases, is recognised rateably over the rental periods of such charters, as services are performed.
External commercial pools: Following the CTI Transaction, we had Hafnia Vessels trading in external commercial pools until December 2022. We have assumed commercial
management of those vessels and no longer have any Hafnia Vessels or JV Vessels employed in third-party commercial pools.

(3) “Vessel operating expenses” and “Charterhire expense” are defined below under “Important Financial and Operational Terms and Concepts”.
(4) “Off-hire” refers to the time a vessel is not available for service due primarily to scheduled and unscheduled repairs or drydockings. For TC Vessels, we do not pay the charterhire
expense when the vessel is off-hire.
As at December 31, 2024, 97 of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels were operating in the Pools or on spot charters outside the Pools and 16 were operating on time charter-out
agreements outside of the Pools.
In 2023, we changed our LR2 Pool, LR1 Pool, MR Pool and Handy Pool from agent-to-owner pools to disponent-owner pools as further described in “Item 4. Information on the
Company – B. Business Overview – The Pools”. In 2024, an additional Panamax pool was set up under the disponent-owner model.
How We Evaluate Our Operations
We manage our business through the following operating and reporting segments:
• LR2 tankers
• LR1 tankers
• MR tankers
• Handy tankers
In 2023, our Hafnia Fleet comprised one vessel in the Specialised segment. We have redelivered this vessel to its owner and as at the date of this Annual Report, no vessels in the
Hafnia Fleet operate in the Specialised segment. We continue to operate Pool Vessels in the Specialised Pool.

In 2022, after our acquisition of CTI, we began operating in the Stainless segment. We exited the Stainless segment in 2022 after divesting the Stainless vessels we acquired in the
CTI Transaction. For accounting purposes, all eight vessels were considered divested in 2022, but the legal completion of two of the divestments occurred in 2023.
Previously, we reported on “Chemical-MR” vessels and “Chemical-Handy” vessels as separate segments, however we have now grouped “Chemical-MR” and “Chemical-Handy”
vessels under the MR segment and the Handy segment, respectively. The reason behind this change is due to a change in the way operating results are reviewed by us. The “Chemical-
MR” and “Chemical-Handy” vessels are deemed to be a variation of the existing Handy and MR vessels with similar economic characteristics and hence we felt it appropriate to
aggregate with the Handy and MR reportable segments. Furthermore, we have observed that analysts and other market participants reviewing our financial statements include
“Chemical-Handy” and “Chemical-MR” vessels together with their analysis of our Handy and MR vessels.
In addition, we use a variety of qualitative, operational, and financial metrics to assess our performance. Among other measures, management considers each of the following in
assessing our business:
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure and as used herein represents earnings before financial income and expenses, depreciation, impairment, amortisation and taxes.
Adjusted EBITDA additionally includes adjustments for gain on disposal of vessels and/or subsidiaries, share of profit and loss from equity accounted investments, interest income and
interest expense, capitalised financing fees written off and other finance expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and market
participants reviewing our financial statements, such as lenders, to assess our operating performance as well as compliance with the financial covenants and restrictions contained in our
financing agreements.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA assists management and investors by increasing comparability of our performance from period to period. This increased comparability is
achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects of interest, depreciation, impairment, amortisation, and taxes. These are items that could be affected by various changing
financing methods and capital structure which may significantly affect profit between periods. Including Adjusted EBITDA as a measure benefits investors in selecting between
investment alternatives. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of our financial
performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect profit and these measures may vary among other companies. Adjusted
EBITDA as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to profit for the financial year, the most comparable IFRS financial measure, for the years ended December 31,
2024 and 2023.

Time charter equivalent (or “TCE”)
TCE (or TCE income) is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company’s performance despite
changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., voyage charters and time charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. We define TCE income as income from time
charters and voyage charters (including income from Pools, as described above) for our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels less voyage expenses (including fuel oil, port costs, brokers’
commissions and other voyage expenses).
We present TCE income per operating day, a non-IFRS measure, as we believe it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with revenues, the most directly
comparable IFRS measure, because it assists management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels and in evaluating their financial
performance. Our calculation of TCE income may not be comparable to that reported by other shipping companies.
The following table reconciles our revenue (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels), the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, to TCE income and TCE income per operating day
for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

these items:

‘TCE income’ as used by management is therefore only illustrative of the performance of the Hafnia Vessels and the TC Vessels; not the External Vessels in our Pools.
In certain of management’s analyses below, we use the term “TCE income (voyage charter)”. We define TCE income (voyage charter) as revenue (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels)
from voyage charter (including income from Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels trading in the Pools as described above) less voyage expenses (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels) relating to
voyage charter. “TCE income (voyage charter)” differs from “TCE income” by excluding revenue and voyage expenses, if any, relating to time charters.
For the avoidance of doubt, in all instances where we use the term “TCE income” and it is not succeeded by “(voyage charter)”, we are referring to TCE income from revenue and
voyage expenses related to both voyage charter and time charter.
For a reconciliation of our revenue (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels) to TCE income and TCE income per operating day for the year ended December 31, 2022, see our 2024
Registration Statement.
Important Financial and Operational Terms and Concepts
We use a variety of financial and operational terms and concepts. These include the following:
Revenue. Revenue primarily includes revenues from time charters, external pool revenues and voyage charters (in the spot market). Revenue is affected by hire/freight rates and the
number of days a vessel operates.
Revenue is also affected by the mix of business between vessels on time charter, vessels in pools and vessels operating on voyage charter outside the pools. Revenue from vessels
in pools and on voyage charter is more volatile than revenue from vessels on long-term time charters, as freight rates for vessels in pools and on voyage charter are typically tied to
prevailing market rates. Revenue also includes demurrage revenue, which is the compensation for the additional time incurred for the loading and discharging of vessels in breach of the
contractual terms of the voyage charter contracts regarding the amount of time available for such loading and discharging.
We distinguish between revenue from Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels and revenue from external vessels in disponent-owner pools.
Voyage charters. Voyage charters, or spot charters, are charters under which the customer pays a transportation charge for the movement of a specific cargo between two or more
specified ports. We pay all of the voyage expenses under these charters.
Voyage expenses. Voyage expenses primarily include bunker expenses, port expenses and other voyage expenses such as canal tolls, cargo handling operations, brokerage
commissions and pool allocated profit sharing adjustment (pool allocation). Under a voyage charter, we pay all voyage expenses. These expenses are subtracted from voyage charter
revenues to calculate TCE income.
We distinguish between voyage expenses relating to our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels and voyage expenses relating to external vessels in the disponent-owner pools.
Vessel operating expenses. For our Hafnia Vessels, we are responsible for vessel operating expenses. For TC Vessels, the owner is responsible for vessel operating expenses. Vessel
operating expenses include crewing, repairs and maintenance, and insurance as well as other items such as spares and consumable stores, lube oils and communication. The three largest
components of our vessel operating expenses are crewing, repairs and maintenance and insurance expenses. Expenses for repairs and maintenance tend to fluctuate from period to
period because most repairs and maintenance typically occur during periodic drydocking. Please read “Drydocking” below. We expect these expenses to increase as our fleet matures
and to the extent that it expands.
Charter hire expense. Charter hire is the amount that we pay, or which is payable to the owners for time chartered-in vessels for leases which are less than 12 months, as well as
non-lease components of time charter contracts with lease terms longer than 12 months. Time charters are usually entered into for a fixed period of time and the charter hire will usually be
at rates that are fixed, but may contain a variable component based on inflation, interest rates, or current market rates. Time or bareboat chartered-in vessels (but not sale and lease-back
financed vessels) are accounted for pursuant to IFRS 16 – Leases, and are thus initially recognised on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities without directly taking
up the expenses under charter hire expense (if necessary under time charters) and subsequently recognised on the profit and loss statement.

Table of Contents
The responsibility for vessel operating expenses for the different types of charter agreements is as follows:
• Time chartered-in vessels. The vessel’s owner is responsible for the vessel operating expenses.
• Bareboat chartered-in vessels. The charterer is responsible for the vessel operating expenses.
We only have bareboat chartered-in vessels as a part of our sale and lease-back arrangements. These are accounted for as lease liabilities (sale and lease-back arrangements
accounted for as financing transactions) and not pursuant to IFRS 16 – Leases.
Drydocking. We periodically drydock each of our Hafnia Vessels for inspection, repairs and maintenance, and any modifications to comply with industry certification or
governmental requirements. Generally, each vessel is drydocked every 30 months to 60 months. Please read “Item 4. Information on the Company – Business Overview – Classification
Societies” for additional information about the surveys our vessels are subject to. We capitalise all costs incurred during drydocking and amortise those costs on a straight-line basis
from the completion of a drydocking to the estimated completion of the next drydocking. We immediately expense costs for routine repairs and maintenance that do not improve or
extend the useful lives of the assets. The number of drydockings undertaken in a given period and the nature of the work performed determine the level of drydocking expenditures.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense typically consists of:
• charges related to the depreciation of the historical cost of our Hafnia Vessels (less an estimated residual value) over the estimated useful lives of the vessels;
• charges related to the depreciation of our right of use assets (accounted for under IFRS 16 – Leases) which is based upon the straight-line depreciation of the right of use asset
over the life of the lease or the useful life of the asset, if a purchase obligation exists or a purchase option is reasonably certain to be exercised; and
• charges related to the amortisation of drydocking expenditures over the estimated number of years to the next scheduled drydocking.
External Vessels. Vessels, other than Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels, employed in one of the Pools.
Operating days. Operating days are defined as the total number of days (including waiting time) in a period during which each vessel is owned, partly owned, operated under a
bareboat arrangement (including sale and lease-back) or time chartered-in, net of technical off-hire days. Total operating days stated in this Annual Report and in our financial statements
include operating days for TC Vessels. We use operating days to measure the number of days in a period which our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels actually generate or are capable of
generating revenue. We do not count operating days for JV Vessels when calculating our total number of operating days.
Pool distributions. Pool distributions are distribution to the owners of external vessels in the disponent-owner pools.
Items You Should Consider When Evaluating Our Results
You should consider the following factors when evaluating our historical financial performance and assessing our future prospects:

Our revenue is affected by cyclicity in the tanker markets. The cyclical nature of the tanker industry causes significant increases or decreases in the revenue we earn from our
Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels, particularly those vessels we trade in the spot market or in spot market-oriented pools. We employ a chartering strategy to capture upside opportunities
in the spot market while using fixed-rate time charters to reduce downside risks, depending on our outlook for freight rates, oil tanker market conditions and global economic conditions.
Historically, the tanker industry has been cyclical, experiencing volatility in profitability due to changes in the supply of, and demand for, tanker capacity. The supply of tanker capacity
is influenced by the number and size of new vessels built, vessels scrapped, converted, and lost, the number of vessels that are out of service, and regulations that may effectively cause
early obsolescence of tonnage. The demand for tanker capacity is influenced by, among other factors:
• global and regional economic and political conditions;
• trade barriers, tariffs, and other trade measures affecting crude oil and refined petroleum products and/or the shipping industry;
• increases and decreases in production of and demand for crude oil and refined petroleum products;
• increases and decreases in OPEC oil production quotas;
• the distance crude oil and refined petroleum products need to be transported by sea; and
• developments in international trade and changes in seaborne and other transportation patterns.
Tanker rates also fluctuate based on seasonal variations in demand. Tanker markets are typically stronger in the winter months as a result of increased oil consumption and
weather delays in the northern hemisphere but weaker in the summer months as a result of lower oil consumption in the northern hemisphere and refinery maintenance that is typically
conducted in the summer months. In addition, unpredictable weather patterns during the winter months in the northern hemisphere tend to disrupt vessel routing and scheduling. The oil
price volatility resulting from these factors has historically led to increased oil trading activities in the winter months. As a result, revenues generated by our Hafnia Vessels and TC
Vessels have historically been weaker during the quarters ended June 30 and September 30, and stronger in the quarters ended March 31 and December 31.
In addition to the above, we face a number of risks associated with our industry and must overcome a variety of challenges to use our competitive strengths in order to profitably
implement our business strategy. These risks include, among other things and in addition to the cyclical and seasonal variations in demand mentioned above, our dependence on spot
market voyage charters, fluctuating charter values, increases in fuel prices, changing economic, political and governmental conditions affecting our industry and business, international
sanctions, embargoes, import and export restrictions, tariffs, nationalisations and wars, material changes in laws and regulations, full performance by counterparties, particularly
charterers, maintaining customer relationships, delay in deliveries or non-deliveries from shipyards, piracy, maintaining sufficient liquidity, financing availability and management
turnover. See “Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors” for detailed description of the risks we are exposed to.

Profit for the financial year. Profit for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $774.0 million, a decrease of $19.2 million, or 2%, from a profit of $793.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2023. The differences between the two periods are discussed below.
Revenue. Revenue from our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $1,935.6 million, an increase of $20.1 million, or 1%, from a revenue of $1,915.5
million for the year ended December 31, 2023. TCE income (a non-IFRS measure) per day increased to $33,000 per day for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $32,326 per day for the
year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in revenue is discussed below by reportable segment. In each segment, the relative stability of TCE income per day for the year ended
December 31, 2024 as against the year ended December 31, 2023, were representative of a market that remained stable at elevated levels.

(1) External Vessels in Disponent-Owner Pools means vessels that are commercially managed by us in disponent-owner pool arrangements and which are not Hafnia Vessels or TC
Vessels.
In 2023, we changed some of our Pools from an agent-to-owner model to a disponent-owner model. We refer to such Pools as “Disponent-Owner Pools”. In 2024, our LR2 Pool, LR1
Pool, MR Pool and Handy Pool were Disponent-Owner Pools. In 2024, an additional Panamax pool was set up under the disponent-owner model. For External Vessels in our Disponent-
Owner Pools, we recognise revenue, voyage expenses and pool distributions. Recognising Revenue (External Vessels in Disponent-Owner Pools) and voyage expenses (External Vessels
in Disponent-Owner Pools) does not affect our profit for the financial year as the net of those two amounts is distributed to the pool participants as pool distributions.
In the following discussions and analysis of our results of operation for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, any references to
‘revenue’ and ‘voyage expenses’ are references to revenue and voyage expenses relating to the Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels unless otherwise indicated.

Revenue from voyage charter. Revenue from voyage charter for the year ended December 31, 2024 remained relatively stable at $1,803.1 million, which was an increase of $22.1
million, or 1%, from a revenue of $1,781.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Revenue from voyage charter includes revenue from those of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels
operating in the Pools. The strength of the product tanker market from 2023 continued into 2024. Geopolitical tensions and disruptions in the Red Sea, along with continued refinery
ramp-ups and dislocations have contributed significantly to product tonne-mile demand. The closure of the Red Sea for transits initially gave product tanker markets a significant boost
in tonne-mile demand which drove earnings, particularly in the LR2 and LR1 segments, to all-time highs. Starting Q3-2024and going into Q4-2024, market conditions softened as we saw
increased competition and pressure from the crude tankers’ cannibalisation of the clean petroleum product market. The cannibalisation of middle distillate cargoes moving from east to
west consequently resulted in many LR2 and LR1 vessels being positioned east of Suez during the second half of the year. This caused the region to generally be oversupplied with
tonnage, which also had a negative effect on the MR segment in the region. In the Atlantic region this was less so the case, but the MR segment suffered from the gasoline arbitrage
between Europe and the US being shut for most of Q3-2024 and Q4-2024. Furthermore, for the LR2 and LR1 segments, the increasing output from the Dangote refinery in Nigeria offered
more employment to vessels operating in West Africa. However, Nigerian gasoline imports from Europe, now being replaced by domestic production from this refinery, saw a sharp
decrease, leaving vessel employment out of Europe well below historical levels. Despite these headwinds, , trade volumes and tonne-miles remained at elevated levels, supported by
strong global demand and with the crude tankers market having improved since Q4-2024, their cannibalisation of clean product trades has since subsided.

Voyage expenses. Voyage expenses remained relatively stable at $544.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $4.5 million, or 1%, from $548.9 million for the
year ended December 31, 2023. Voyage expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 consisted of fuel oil consumed amounting to $357.5 million, port costs amounting to $150.8 million,
broker’s commission expenses amounting to $26.3 million, other voyage-related expenses (including voyage-related insurance) amounting to $8.8 million and pool allocation of $0.9
million. Voyage expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 consisted of fuel oil consumed amounting to $349.1 million, port costs amounting to $159.0 million, broker’s commission
expenses amounting to $26.5 million, other voyage-related expenses (including voyage-related insurance) amounting to $2.6 million and pool allocation of $11.7 million. The expenses
relating to fuel oil consumed increased even though bunker prices, on average, have decreased as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This can be attributed to the increase
in tonne-mile demand and longer sailing distances. The increase in other voyage-related expenses was driven by the utilisation of EUAs as the EU ETS became effective in the year
ended December 31, 2024. Pool allocation relates to adjustments to distribute the earnings of the vessels employed in the pools pro rate to their pool points and the decrease was driven
by changes in the pool points of all participating vessels in each individual Pool. The decrease in port costs can be attributed to a decrease in Suez Canal transits as vessels were
rerouted towards the Cape of Good Hope to avoid disruptions in the Red Sea.

directly comparable IFRS measures, (ii) it assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels and in evaluating
their financial performance, (iii) it is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company’s performance
irrespective of changes in the mix of charter types (time charters and voyage charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods, and (iv) we believe that it
presents useful information to investors.

LR2 revenue. LR2 revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $125.4 million, an increase of $14.2 million, or 13%, from a revenue of $111.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2023. The increase in revenue was mainly due to longer average sailing distances as vessels rerouted away from the Suez Canal to the Cape of Good Hope, which
benefitted the larger vessel segments.
As a result of these factors, LR2 TCE income per day increased to $45,289 per day from $36,941 per day for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
LR2 operating days decreased to 2,069 days from 2,188 days for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively as all six LR2 vessels went for periodic drydocking
during 2024.
LR1 revenue. LR1 revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $522.8 million, a decrease of $13.5 million, or 3%, from a revenue of $536.3 million for the year ended December
31, 2023. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the disposal of six LR1 vessels during 2023, and the full year effect was observed in 2024. These six disposed vessels had 296
operating days in the year ended December 31, 2023. Furthermore, another LR1 vessel, Hafnia Thames, was disposed during 2024. Hafnia Thames contributed 190 operating days during
the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 141 days from 331 days for the year ended December 31, 2023. Consequently, although market conditions remained strong for the most
part of 2024, fewer operating days were available to us which lead to the decrease in revenue.
LR1 TCE income per day remained relatively stable at $38,389 per day, a slight increase from $36,749 per day for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
LR1 operating days decreased to 9,910 days from 10,465 days for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This decrease was driven mainly by the aforementioned
disposal of vessels during 2023 and 2024.

MR revenue. MR revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $915.2 million, an increase of $14.1 million, or 2%, from a revenue of $901.0 million for the year ended December
31, 2023. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the acquisition of three MR vessels during 2023, and the full year effect of these acquisitions could be observed in 2024. These three
MR vessels contributed 459 operating days during 2023 and we operated them for the full year during 2024 for an additional 616 as compared to their operating days in 2023.
MR TCE income per day remained relatively stable at $30,781 per day, a slight decrease from $31,382 per day for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
MR operating days increased to 21,549 days from 20,844 days for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This increase was driven mainly by the aforementioned
acquisition of three vessels during 2023.
Handy revenue. Handy revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 remained relatively stable at $372.1 million, which is a slight increase of $7.3 million, or 2%, from a revenue of
$364.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase can be attributable to the fact that we had more Handy vessels fixed on time charters during the year ended December
31, 2024, and at higher time charter rates on average as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.
Handy TCE income per day remained relatively stable at $29,402 per day, a slight increase from $28,333 per day for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Handy operating days remained relatively stable at 8,632 days which is a slight decrease from 8,684 days for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This
decrease was driven mainly by a slight increase in drydocking days for our Handy vessels during 2024.
Specialised revenue. We did not operate Hafnia Vessels or TC Vessels in the Specialised segment in 2024. We entered this segment in 2023 as a result of the time chartering-in of one
Specialised vessel. We redelivered this vessel to its owner in 2023. Specialised revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $2.4 million. TCE income per day for our Specialised
vessel was $13,674 per day for the year ended December 31, 2023. Specialised operating days for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 95.
Other operating income. Other operating income, which mainly consists of pool and bunker management fees, for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $35.2 million, a decrease of
$9.8 million or 22% from $45.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was due to lower pool management fees earned as a result of a reduction in the number of
vessels from external pool partners in the Pools from an average of 84 in 2023 to an average of 71 in 2024 and one off income from vessel related claims during 2023 which were not
present in 2024, partially offset by higher bunker management fees earned in 2024.
Vessel operating expenses and technical management expenses. Vessel operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $278.0 million, an increase of $9.2 million or
3%, from $268.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Vessel operating expenses include crewing, repairs and maintenance, and insurance as well as other expenses relating to the
operation of our Hafnia Vessels.
Technical management expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $28.2 million, an increase of $2.5 million or 10% from $25.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Technical management expenses consist of general and administrative costs for the internal technical team and the management fee charged by external technical managers.
Calendar days (excluding TC Vessels) increased to 38,063 from 37,958 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The average vessel operating expenses per day increased to $7,305 per day for the year ended December 31, 2024 from an average of $7,083 per day for the year ended December 31,
2023. Vessel operating expenses per day increased across all vessel segments, with the largest increases affecting the MR and Handy segments.
Vessel operating expenses and technical management expenses by operating segment are discussed below.
LR2 vessel operating expenses and technical management expenses. Vessel operating expenses for our LR2 segment was $15.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an
increase of $0.3 million, or 2%, from $15.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Calendar days (excluding TC Vessels) for LR2 vessels remained stable at 2,196, a slight increase
from 2,190 days for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. LR2 vessel operating expenses per day increased to $7,115 per day for the year ended December 31, 2024
from $6,971 per day for the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was the result of general inflationary pressures which drove up crew mustering and victualing costs and the
prices of stores and spares.
Technical management expenses for our LR2 segment was $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $0.3 million or 18% from $1.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2023. LR2 technical management expenses per day increased to $887 per day from $756 per day for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This increase
was the result of general inflationary pressures driving up headcount costs.
LR1 vessel operating expenses and technical management expenses. Vessel operating expenses for our LR1 segment was $64.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a
decrease of $2.4 million, or 4%, from $66.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Calendar days (excluding TC Vessels) for LR1 vessels decreased to 8,824 from 9,386 days for the
years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, due to the divestment of six LR1 vessels during 2023. LR1 vessel operating expenses per day increased to $7,304 per day for the
year ended December 31, 2024 from $7,126 per day for the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was the result of general inflationary pressures which drove up crew mustering
and victualing costs and the prices of stores and spares.
Technical management expenses for our LR1 segment was $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $0.3 million or 4% from $7.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2023. LR1 technical management expenses per day increased to $834 per day from $757 per day for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This increase
was the result of general inflationary pressures driving up headcount costs.

MR vessel operating expenses and technical management expenses. Vessel operating expenses for our MR segment was $132.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an
increase of $7.5 million, or 6%, from $125.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Calendar days (excluding TC Vessels) for MR vessels increased to 18,259 from 17,622 days for
the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, due to the acquisition of three MR vessels during 2023. The full year effect could be observed in 2024, and these three vessels
contributed an additional 632 days. MR vessel operating expenses per day increased to $7,277 per day for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $7,116 per day for the year ended
December 31, 2023. This increase was the result of general inflationary pressures which drove up crew mustering and victualing costs and the prices of stores and spares.
Technical management expenses for our MR segment was $13.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $1.9 million or 16% from $11.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2023. MR technical management expenses per day increased to $746 per day from $665 per day for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This increase
was largely due to the aforementioned acquisition of three MR vessels during 2023.
Handy vessel operating expenses and technical management expenses. Vessel operating expenses for our Handy segment was $65.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024,
an increase of $3.9 million, or 6%, from $61.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Calendar days (excluding TC Vessels) for Handy vessels remained relatively stable at 8,784
days, a slight increase from 8,760 days for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Handy vessel operating expenses per day increased to $7,410 per day for the year
ended December 31, 2024 from $6,988 per day for the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was mainly due to unforeseen breakdowns and repairs across the Handy fleet, as well
as general inflationary pressures driving up costs.
Technical management expenses for our Handy segment remained stable at $5.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Handy technical management expenses per
day remained stable at $598 per day, a slight increase from $595 per day for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This is because in contrast with other segments,
the vessels in the Handy segment are all managed by external technical managers, with whom we were able to negotiate management fees to keep our expenses stable.
Specialised vessel operating expenses and technical management expenses. We did not operate Hafnia Vessels or TC Vessels in the Specialised segment in the year ended
December 31, 2024. We entered this segment in the year ended December 31, 2023 as a result of time chartering-in one Specialised vessel. We redelivered this vessel to its owner in 2023
and as at the date of this Annual Report no longer operate Hafnia Vessels or TC Vessels in the Specialised segment. During the year ended December 31, 2023, our only vessel operating
expenses relating to the Specialised vessel was $0.005 million relating to insurance of the vessel.
We did not incur any technical management expenses for our Specialised segment in the year ended December 31, 2023, as this vessel was time chartered-in, which means that we
were not responsible for the technical management of the vessel.
Charter hire expenses. Charter hire expenses were $48.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $13.9 million or 40%, from $34.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2023. The increase was due mainly due to three new short term time charter-in of MR vessels and a step up in charter hire rates for certain existing TC Vessels.
Other expenses. Other expenses were $79.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $9.8 million or 14%, from $69.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The change was primarily driven by an increase in staff salaries and benefits, and audit fees, legal fees, other professional fees and compliance costs that were incurred in relation to the
listing on the NYSE Listing during the first half of 2024.
Gain on disposal of assets. Gain on disposal of assets was $28.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 a decrease of $27.6 million or 49% from a gain of $56.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we divested two vessels, whereas during the year ended December 31, 2023, we divested six vessels.
Furthermore, we also realized a loss of $0.6 million on the sale of some of our shareholdings in Zeronorth.
Depreciation charge of property, plant and equipment. The total depreciation charge was $214.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The depreciation charge for the year
ended December 31, 2024 comprised $139.0 million on vessels, $35.7 million on drydocking and scrubbers, $39.3 million on right-of-use assets — vessels and $0.3 million of other
depreciations. This was an increase of $4.6 million, or 2% from $209.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The depreciation charge for the year ended December 31, 2023
comprised $135.4 million on vessels, $28.8 million on drydocking and scrubbers and $45.2 million on right-of-use assets — vessels and $0.3 million of other depreciations. The increase in
depreciation charge was primarily related to the acquisition of three MR vessels and one LR1 vessel which took place progressively from May 2023 to November 2023. The full year
effect of the depreciation charge for these vessels could be observed for 2024. This was partially offset by a reduction in deprecation charge of vessels divested during 2023. Higher
drydock costs and capital expenditures costs and the extension and remeasurement of leases for certain right-of-use assets also contributed to the increase in depreciation charge.

Amortisation charge of intangible assets. The amortisation charge was $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $0.5 million or 38% from $1.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was because intangible assets relating to customer contracts had been fully amortised by May 2024.
Interest income. Interest income was $16.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 7%, from $17.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
This decrease was mainly due to lower interest income earned from the Vista Joint Venture after the repayment of shareholders’ loans.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $52.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $25.0 million, or 32%, from $77.4 million for the year ended December 31,
2023.
The decrease in financial expenses during the year ended December 31, 2024 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to a reduction in SOFR
rates in 2024 as compared to 2023 and lower loan balances in 2024 as compared to 2023.
Capitalised financing fees written off. Capitalised financing fees written off was $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $3.8 million or 65% from $5.9
million for the year ended December 31, 2023. In 2024, the $2.1 million of written off financing fees resulted from the extinguishment of debt and refinancing of certain sale and lease-back
liabilities. We extinguished more debt relating to the credit facilities, and sale and lease-back liabilities during 2023, specifically $1.9 million arising from the extinguishment of debt relating
to the MUSD 473 Facility, the MUSD 374 and the MUSD 216 Facility (each facility as in “B. Liquidity and Capital Resources – Financing Arrangements – Hafnia Credit Facilities”
below) and another $4.0 million arising from the extinguishment of debt and refinancing of certain sale and lease-back liabilities.
Other finance expense. Other finance expense was $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 18%, from $11.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2023. These are generally non-routine items that occur when borrowings are extinguished or re-financed.
Other finance expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 consisted of foreign currency exchange loss of $0.5 million, borrowings undrawn commitment fees of $2.4 million, other
financial expenses mainly consisting of loan admin fees, fees relating to exercise of purchase options for certain vessels acquired in the CTI Transaction amounting to $5.1 million and net
realised losses on derivatives of $1.7 million.
Other finance expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 consisted of foreign currency exchange loss of $0.8 million, borrowings undrawn commitment fees of $2.6 million, other
financial expenses mainly consisting of loan admin fees, option fees of interest rate caps, fees relating to the exercise of purchase options for certain vessels acquired in the CTI
Transaction amounting to $7.7 million and net realised losses on derivatives of $0.7 million mainly arising from interest rate caps which have matured during the year.
The decrease in other finance expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023 was primarily due to fees relating to the exercise of purchase options
in 2023 for certain vessels being more expensive as compared to the purchase options exercised in 2024.
Share of profit of equity-accounted investees, net of tax. Share of profit of equity accounted investees, net of tax, for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $20.5 million, an
increase of $1.4 million or 8% from a share of profit of $19.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily because the six LR1 vessels under the Vista Joint
Venture which are employed in the LR1 Pool had higher earnings during 2024.
Other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss mainly consists of fair value changes of the effective portion of derivate financial instruments designated as hedging
instruments under cash flow hedge accounting, net of any reclassifications to profit or loss as and when the hedged interest expense on the borrowings is recognised in profit or loss,
and fair value changes of certain equity investments which are long term and strategic in nature and not held for the purpose of trading. Other comprehensive loss for the year ended
December 31, 2024 was $17.6 million, which is a decrease of $1.9 million or 10% from a loss of $19.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was mainly driven by a
change in the forecasted interest rate environment leading to a reduction in fair values of the interest rate swaps. This was partially offset by a lower fair value gain on an equity
investment.

Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022
For a discussion of our results for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, please see “Item 5. Operating and Financia Review and
Prospects – A. Operating Results – Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022” contained in our 2024 Registration
Statement.
B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
We operate in a capital-intensive industry. We have historically financed our acquisition of vessels and other capital expenditures through a combination of cash generated from
operations, equity capital and credit facilities and sale and lease-back arrangements.
Our primary source of funds for our short-term and long-term liquidity needs is expected to be the cash flows generated from our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels trading in the Pools,
in the spot market or on time charter, in addition to cash on hand. Additionally, we receive repayments on shareholder loans from our joint ventures who have vessels operating in the
Pools or on long-term time charters. In addition to cash from operations, our sources of medium and long-term liquidity include new loans, refinancing of existing arrangements,
drawdowns under committed secured revolving credit facilities, issuance of equity, vessel sales, and sale and lease-back agreements.
Historically, market rates for the vessels in our Hafnia Fleet have been volatile and periodic adjustments to the supply and demand for tankers cause the industry to be cyclical in
nature. We expect continued volatility in market rates for our vessels in the foreseeable future with a consequent effect on our short- and long-term liquidity. When Hafnia Vessels or TC
Vessels operate directly in the spot market, we are exposed to high volatility, but we can take advantage of rising freight/hire rate environments. In our view, the volatility is reduced for
those of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels operating in the Pools because (i) the Pools aggregate the revenues and expenses of all pool participants and distribute net earnings to the
participants based on an agreed-upon formula and (ii) some of the vessels in the pool are on time charter, which ensures a less volatile income stream. In addition to Hafnia Vessels
trading directly in the spot market and in the Pools, we also have Hafnia Vessels on long-term time charters. The income from these vessels is less volatile but also does not allow us to
take advantage of rising rate environments.
In addition to the general volatility in our industry, our cash flows are affected by the number of vessels we have in operation at a given time. This number may increase or decrease
during the year due to vessel acquisitions and divestments as well as drydocking, repairs, maintenance or other events impacting the operability of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels.
Furthermore, the cash flows we generate from our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels have in the past and may in the future be impacted by geopolitical events such as the COVID-19
pandemic and the war between Russia and Ukraine as well as other geopolitical risks such as the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the conflict between Israel and Iran and the resulting
disruptions to shipping in the Red Sea and increasing trade protectionism. The easing of COVID-19 restrictions around the globe resulted in increased personal mobility which served as
a catalyst for underlying demand for refined petroleum products. This demand, combined with low global refined petroleum product inventories and strong refining margins, incentivised
refiners to increase and maintain high utilisation levels which drove substantial increases in refined petroleum product export volumes throughout the world. Additionally, the volatility
brought on by the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, which has resulted in the implementation of sanctions on the export of Russian crude oil and refined petroleum products,
has continued to disrupt supply chains for crude oil and refined petroleum products, changing volumes and trade routes, and thus increasing tonne-mile demand for the seaborne
transportation of refined petroleum products. We recorded high revenue and net income during the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 as a result of favourable
market conditions that began in March 2022. At the start of 2024, our performance was impacted positively by the disruptions in Red Sea, as vessels were rerouted towards the Cape of
Good Hope, leading to longer voyages and higher cash flows generated. However, this trend gradually diminished towards the end of 2024 and into 2025 as an increasing number of
alternative, shorter trade routes within hemispheres were established, bypassing the Red Sea. Additionally, low crude freight rates in 2024 prompted the transition of crude tankers into
trading clean products, which adversely affected our cash flows. Recently, global leaders have announced and/or implemented certain increasingly protective trade measures, including
tariffs. If any new tariffs, fees, legislation and/or regulations are implemented, or if existing trade agreements are renegotiated, such changes could have an adverse effect on our cash
flows.

Our short-term liquidity requirements relate to operating expenses for our Hafnia Vessels and voyage expenses for our Hafnia Vessels and JV Vessels, service of our credit facilities
and payments on lease liabilities (sale and lease-back arrangements accounted for as financing transactions) and time charters, drydocking of certain Hafnia Vessels, contributions or
loans to joint ventures, dividend payments, and exercise of purchase options and purchase obligations coming due in the next 12 months.
Our long-term liquidity requirements relate to repayment of credit facilities, payments relating to lease liabilities (sale and lease-back arrangements accounted for as financing
transactions) and time-charters (which are accounted for under IFRS 16 – Leases), capital expenditures including acquisition of new or second-hand vessels, non-vessel investments,
drydocking of Hafnia Vessels and payment of dividends on our ordinary shares. Our debt facilities and certain of our obligations related to lease liabilities (sale and lease-back
arrangements accounted for as financing transactions) typically require us to make interest payments based on SOFR. Significant increases in interest rates could adversely affect our
results of operations and our ability to service our debt; however, as a part of our strategy to minimise financial risk, we use interest rate swaps to reduce our exposure to market risk from
changes in interest rates.
During 2025, and in addition to our regularly scheduled debt and lease repayments including payments in relation to credit facilities that are maturing during 2025, we also
committed to the following:
• The exercise of the purchase options on two MR vessels (Hafnia Tanzanite and Hafnia Tourmaline) under a sale and lease-back arrangement with CSSC. The purchases closed
in January 2025 resulting in a reduction of the related lease liability of $34.2 million.
• The exercise of the purchase options on two Handy vessels (Hafnia Azotic and Hafnia Aronaldo) under a sale and lease-back arrangement with OCY. The purchase of Hafnia
Aronaldo is expected to close in June 2025 and the purchase of Hafnia Azotic is expected to close in September 2025..
• The fulfilment of the purchase obligation of one LR1 vessel (Hafnia Asia) under a sale and lease-back agreement with Skaatholmen Shipping Ltd. This purchase is expected to
close in June 2025.
The MUSD 39.2 SEB Facility is maturing in November 2025 and the MUSD 216 Facility has tranches maturing between April 2026 and October 2026. We do not have any other debt
or leasing financing arrangements that are scheduled to mature or expire within 12 months from the date of this Annual Report. We may elect to use purchase options under our sale and
lease-back arrangements or time charter-in arrangements in which case the financial lease liabilities or IFRS-16 lease liabilities, as applicable, relating to the vessel(s) in question will be
reduced accordingly.
While we believe our current financial position is adequate to address these cash outflows, a deterioration in economic conditions could cause us to breach the covenants under
our financing arrangements and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. These circumstances could cause us to
seek covenant waivers from our lenders and to pursue other means to raise liquidity, such as through the sale of vessels or in the capital markets. A discussion and analysis of our key
risks, including sensitivities thereto, can be found in “Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors” and “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”.
We continuously evaluate potential transactions that we believe will be accretive to earnings, enhance shareholder value or are in our best interests, which may include the pursuit
of additional vessel sales, business combinations, the acquisition of vessels or related businesses, investments in new technologies, the expansion of our operations, repayment of
existing debt, share repurchases, short-term investments or other uses. In connection with any transaction, we may enter into additional financing arrangements, refinance existing
arrangements or raise capital through public or private debt or equity offerings of our securities. Any funds received or raised by us may be used for any corporate purpose. There is no
guarantee that we will grow the size of our fleet or enter into transactions that are accretive to our shareholders.

In the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we have not had any share repurchase programs. In the year ended December 31, 2024, we launched a share repurchase program to
repurchase up to 18,000,000 shares for a total amount of $100.0 million during the period December 2, 2024 until no later than January 27, 2025 for the purposes of reducing the number of
outstanding shares and to provide returns to the shareholders. See “Item 16E. Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers” for more information on our share

For a discussion of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022, reference is made to “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
– B. Liquidity and Capital Resources – Cash Flows” included in our 2024 Registration Statement.
Cash flow from operating activities
Changes in net cash flow from operating activities primarily reflect changes in fleet size, fluctuations in spot tanker rates, changes in interest rates, fluctuations in working capital
balances and the timing and the amount of drydocking expenditures, repairs, and maintenance activities. Our exposure to the highly cyclical spot tanker market and the growth of our
fleet have contributed significantly to historical fluctuations in operating cash flow.

Net cash provided by operating activities $ 1,030,364 $ 1,060,806 $ (30,442) (3%)
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $30.4 million in 2024 as compared to 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024, our TCE income increased by $24.7
million, offset by a decrease in cash generated from fees earned through our pool and bunker management services. Furthermore, the cost of operating the business has also increased in
general. Our vessel operating expenses and technical management expenses increased as a result of unforeseen breakdown and repairs, and inflationary pressures driving up crew costs
and prices of stores and spares. We incurred higher costs on general and administrative expenditures for staff salaries, audit fees, legal fees, other professional fees and also saw
additional compliance costs incurred in relation to the NYSE Listing. Charter hire expenses also increased significantly as a result of new time charter hires and also step up in rates for
certain existing charter hires. Consequently, this led to a decrease in operating cash flow generated before working capital changes in 2024 as compared to 2023.
In addition, we started acquiring carbon credits in 2024, which were recognised as intangible assets. This caused an increase in net outflow of $5.9 million for working capital
changes relating to intangible assets as compared to 2023. Income tax paid also increased. Firstly, because of a delay in payment of taxes payable on prior years. Secondly, corporate
taxes in Denmark are estimated in advance at the start of each financial year based on the corporate taxes of the preceding three years. Our estimated corporate tax liability in Denmark
has increased significantly in 2024, in line with an increase in our pool and bunker management fees over the years.
Cash flow from investing activities
Cash flows from our investing activities primarily relate to our acquisition of vessels and divestment of vessels as well as our investments in our joint ventures as further described
in “Item 4. Information on the Company – A. History and Development of the Company – Joint Ventures”.

The increase of $61.6 million in net cash provided by investing activities in 2024 as compared to 2023 was primarily due to less cash used for the purchase of property, plant and
equipment as we did not purchase any new vessels in 2024, whereas we purchased one LR1 and three MR vessels during 2023. In 2024, we also made less acquisitions of other
investments, spending $0.7 million on additional investments in Zeronorth and $0.2 million on the acquisition of ordinary shares of Vanguard, whereas in 2023 we spent $10.0 million on
acquiring additional minority shares of CHW-LA1 alone. These were offset by lower proceeds from the disposal of property, plant and equipment as we divested six LR1 vessels during
2023, whereas we only divested one LR1 and one MR vessel in 2024.
Cash flow from financing activities
Cash flows from financing activities primarily consist of the proceeds from drawdowns, repayments and costs related to our secured and unsecured debt, financial lease liabilities
(relating to sale and lease-back contracts) and lease liabilities arising from the recognition of long-term leases onto the balance sheet in accordance with IFRS 16; the issuance and costs
related to our ordinary shares and the payment of dividends to our common shareholders.

Table of Contents
The decrease of $87.7 million in net cash used in financing activities in 2024 as compared to 2023 was primarily due to lower repayments of borrowings to external financial
institutions and lease liabilities as we made voluntary early repayments on borrowings for the $473m facility, $374m facility and $216m facility during 2023. We also exercised more
purchase options to buy back and re-finance certain vessels which were financed under sale-and-leaseback contracts during 2024 as compared to 2023. Furthermore, we also made higher
amounts of drawdowns of borrowings from external financial institutions during 2024 which was mainly used to support the share repurchase program. These were partially offset by
higher amounts of dividends paid during 2024 due to higher payout ratios during the first half of 2024, also in part because the dividend policy was updated in April 2024 to have higher
payout ratios when the net loan to value ratio is below 30%.
Cash drawdowns and repayments on our secured credit facilities, unsecured debt, sale and lease-back liabilities, and IFRS lease liabilities
The table below sets forth the cash drawdowns and repayments on our secured credit facilities, unsecured debt, sale and lease-back liabilities, and IFRS 16 lease liabilities during
the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The table below does not include cash drawdowns and repayments on credit facilities or other financing arrangements obtained in our joint
ventures. Furthermore, the below overview does not include a $50 million receivables purchase facility which was in place during 2021-2023 but which is no longer in place or any
“loans” received from suppliers that constitute or have the function of deferred payment terms.

(1) This facility’s $274.1 million term loan tranche has been fully repaid in 2023. The amortising $100 million revolving credit facility tranche remains available but was undrawn as at
December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
(2) This facility has been rolled over on a cashless basis into the $84m – DSF Facility and as at the date of this Annual Report is no longer in place.
(3) This facility has been drawn and repaid on an ongoing basis to support FFA trading margin requirements throughout 2024 and 2023. As this facility is directly linked to the FFA
margin trading account with DBS, any drawdowns are automatically netted at DBS with no cashflow impact to Hafnia on an operational basis unless in the event of a margin call.
(4) This loan has been repaid and is as at the date of this Annual Report no longer in place.
(5) As at the date of this Annual Report, we have divested or refinanced all vessels under these SLBs, and therefore, these SLBs are no longer in place.
(6) We have refinanced Hafnia Turquoise in 2023 and as at the date of this Annual Report, this SLB only relates to Hafnia Aronaldo and Hafnia Azotic.
(7) We have divested Hafnia Arctic, and therefore, as at the date of this Annual Report, this SLB only relates to Hafnia Asia.
(8) We transferred the legal title to these vessels in 2023 but the vessels were deemed to be sold in 2022. Repayment of lease liabilities relating to these vessels in 2023 did not affect our
cash flow as the buyer paid the funds to extinguish the liabilities directly to the lessor.
(9) Repayments for IFRS 16 lease liabilities included in the above table are exclusive of interest on lease liabilities.
(10) These vessels have been redelivered to their respective owners.
Significant non-cash transactions
We have not had any significant non-cash transactions in the year ended December 31, 2024.
In the year ended December 31, 2022, we acquired the CTI Fleet through the acquisition of CTI by way of issuance of new shares together with transfer of existing treasury shares.
The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition that did not constitute a business.
In exchange for all outstanding shares in CTI, CTI’s shareholders received a total of 99,199,394 ordinary shares comprising 92,112,691 newly issued shares and 7,086,703 treasury
shares. The fair value of CTI’s net assets acquired was assessed at $221.1 million. The effects of the CTI Transaction resulted in increases of our assets, liabilities and equity by $943.0
million, $721.9 million and $221.1 million respectively.
In the year ended 2022, two vessels were deemed to be sold, even though physical title was not transferred to the buyer before 2023. These vessels were financed by a sale and
lease-back arrangement and in the year ended 2022, the liabilities hereunder remained on the balance sheet along with a corresponding receivable from the buyer. In the year ended 2023,
physical title was transferred, and the liabilities were extinguished against the receivables in the balance sheet. This is a non-cash transaction as the buyer paid the funds to extinguish
the liabilities directly to the leasing house.
Financing Arrangements
We finance our operations through secured credit facilities and sale and lease-back arrangements. See the below section “Sale and lease-back” for additional information on the sale
and lease-back arrangements we have entered into.
We have entered into credit facilities in a number of our subsidiaries. Additionally, our joint venture companies have entered into credit facilities. We do not recognise the debt of
our joint venture companies on our balance sheet as they have been equity accounted, but we have a 50% interest in the debt through our equity ownership of the joint ventures. See
below “Hafnia Credit Facilities” for the credit facilities entered into by Hafnia and wholly-owned subsidiaries and “Joint Venture Credit Facilities” for the credit facilities entered into by
our joint ventures. We refer to Note 21 and Note 23 of our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 17 of this Annual Report for further details on our secured credit facilities,
sale and lease-back liabilities, and IFRS 16 lease liabilities and to Note 13 and 14 for additional information about our joint ventures.

in question or repay the loan within the relevant term. Undrawn portions of these facilities were uncommitted as at December 31,2024 and December 31, 2023 and as at the date of
this Annual Report remain uncommitted. An uncommitted facility is a facility where the lenders have no legal obligation to provide a loan but can elect to do so at their discretion.
(6) This facility has been refinanced and is as at the date of this Annual Report no longer in place.
Each of the Hafnia Credit Facilities bears a floating interest comprised of applicable SOFR (term SOFR, daily SOFR or daily non-cumulative compounded SOFR, as applicable) and a

Denmark 1 ApS (subsequently merged into our wholly-owned subsidiary Hafnia Tankers ApS), and Hafnia Tankers Singapore Sub-Holding Pte. Ltd. entered into a $473 million senior

Sale and lease-back

vessel, each commencing upon their respective deliveries.
Subsequently, Hafnia Aquamarine, Hafnia Amessi, Hafnia Tourmaline, Hafnia Topaz, Hafnia Tanzanite and Hafnia Turquoise have been refinanced on SLBs with other lessors or

receivable from the Vista Joint Venture are unsecured, bear interest at 5% fixed per annum and have no fixed terms of repayment. As we do not expect the Vista Joint Venture to settle the
loans within the next 12 months, the loans receivable are classified as “non-current” receivables. In substance, we consider these loan receivables as an extension of our investments in
the Vista Joint Venture. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the largest amount outstanding in respect of the loans provided to the Vista Joint Venture was $42.9 million (excluding
interest and fees).
As at December 31, 2024, we have provided $28.7 million (December 31, 2023: $15.5 million) as shareholder loans to our Ecomar Joint Venture under loan facilities amounting to a
total of $103.3 million. The loans receivable from the Ecomar Joint Venture are unsecured, bear interest at a rate from time to time corresponding to the maximum deductible rate acceptable
by French tax authorities as published every quarter (as at December 31, 2024: 5.75%) and have no fixed terms of repayment. As we do not expect the Ecomar Joint Venture to settle the
loans within the next 12 months, the loans receivable are classified as “non-current” receivables. In substance, we consider these loan receivables as an extension of our investments in
the Ecomar Joint Venture. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the largest amount outstanding in respect of the loans provided to the Ecomar Joint Venture was $28.7 million
(excluding interest and fees).
As at December 31, 2024, we have provided $6.3 million (December 31, 2023: $7.7 million) as shareholder loans to our Andromeda Joint Venture that remain outstanding. The loans
receivable from the Andromeda Joint Venture are unsecured, bear no interest and have no fixed terms of repayment. In our financial statements, we account for these shareholder loans
as equity investments rather than shareholder loans. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the largest amount outstanding in respect of the loans provided to the Andromeda Joint
Venture was $7.7 million.
Loans provided to the Pools
In 2022, we provided additional financing to the Pools of $15.0 million. We have been fully repaid under this financing arrangement in April 2023.
From time to time, we may provide working capital loans to participants in the Pools. These loans are provided with funds drawn under our MUSD 175 Facility – UOB or our MUSD
175 Facility – Citi. As stated in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – B. Liquidity and Capital Resources – Financing Arrangements – Hafnia Credit Facilities”
above, the total amount drawn under these two facilities as at December 31, 2024, was $58.5 million and $40.5 million, respectively.
Capital Expenditures
We make capital expenditures from time to time in connection with drydocking activities and maintenance in the ordinary course and in order to comply with environmental and
other governmental regulations and in connection with our vessel acquisitions. We may in the future enter contracts to acquire newbuilds, or resale contracts or to acquire second-hand
vessels.

Information on the Company – Business Overview”.
Vessel Modification and Upgrades
From time to time, we have to make capital expenditures in order to modify and upgrade our Hafnia Vessels, including in order to comply with applicable environmental rules and
regulations. Ongoing costs for compliance with environmental regulations and society classification survey costs are a component of our vessel operating expenses.
It is likely that we will in the future have to incur additional costs to ensure that our Hafnia Vessels are in compliance with applicable regulations. We are not currently aware of any
regulatory changes or environmental liabilities that we anticipate will necessitate significant vessel modifications or vessel upgrades which will have a material impact on our results of
operations or financial condition.

Drydock
From time to time, and no less than once every five years, each of our Hafnia Vessels has to be drydocked for maintenance, repairs and surveys. See “Item 4. Information on the
Company – B. Business Overview – Classification Societies” for additional description of the classification society surveys our vessels are subject to. The actual cost of drydocking a
vessel depends on several factors, including the location of the drydock and whether any specific vessel maintenance or vessel upgrades need to be carried out while the vessel is in
drydock. We try to coordinate any vessel modification and vessel upgrades, so they can be performed while the vessel is in drydock for its regular special surveys.
During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, we commenced and completed the following drydocks, as described below:
2024 2023 2022
Number of vessels 25 17 14
- Drydocks completed during the year 21 14 14
- Drydocks in-progress as at end of the year 4 3 -
Cost (thousands of U.S. dollars) $ 36,299 $ 25,831 $ 39,320
Off-hire days related to drydocks 617 436 482
For the Hafnia Vessels we had in operation as at December 31, 2024, we foresee the following drydocks and related costs for the period through December 31, 2028:
For the Years Ending December 31,
2025 2026 2027 2028
Number of vessels 42
(1)
28 12 13
Expected cost (thousands of U.S. dollars) $ 112,219
(2)
$ 70,076 $ 23,200 $ 28,000
(1) The number of vessels that will be drydocked in 2025 is larger than ‘normal’ as we have a large number of vessels which were constructed in 2015.
(2) The expected costs of drydocks per vessel for 2025 is higher than other years as a number of the vessels being drydocked in 2025 will have work performed on their COT coating
which makes drydocking of these vessels more expensive than other drydockings.
In addition to the above-listed expected costs for planned drydocks, we may have to incur costs related to emergency drydocks if a vessel is damaged and requires repairs that
need to be conducted while the vessel is out of the water. As our fleet matures and expands, our drydock expenses will likely increase.
Ballast Water Treatment Systems
We have installed ballast water treatment systems on all of our Hafnia Vessels. We may in the future be required to make capital expenditures relating to ballast water treatment
systems if we purchase second-hand vessels that do not have the necessary equipment or if changing regulations or changing circumstances require us to replace or update the ballast
water treatment systems installed on our Hafnia Vessels. We do not have off-hire days which are only related to the installation of ballast water treatment systems as we coordinate the
installation of ballast water treatment systems to take place while the vessels are in drydock for their special surveys.
The following table summarises ballast water treatment systems activity for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:
2024 2023 2022
Number of vessels
(1)
6 6 6
Cost (thousands of U.S. dollars)
(2)
$ 1,684 $ 5,379 $ 7,744
(1) The number of vessels is the number of Hafnia Vessels where the installation of BWTS was completed in the year ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
(2) The costs relating to the installation of BWTS is split over several years. The numbers included in the table above are the costs that according to our accounting policies are
attributable to each year, not the costs relating to the installations listed under “Number of vessels”.

Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (Scrubbers)
In the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we have not installed any scrubbers on our Hafnia Vessels. We do not currently have any plans for further installation of
scrubbers on the Hafnia Vessels. We may in the future be required to make capital expenditures relating to scrubbers, if we purchase second-hand vessels that do not have the necessary
equipment or if changing regulations or changing circumstances require us to replace or update the scrubbers installed on our Hafnia Vessels.
Projects and upgrades
In addition to upgrades required pursuant to new regulations and repairs and modifications performed during our normal drydocks, we aim to continuously make environmental
upgrades to our Hafnia Vessels to increase their energy efficiency, decrease emissions and to improve their environmental impact. Additionally, we make upgrades and modifications to
our Hafnia Vessels to extend their commercial lives. Such upgrades are ordinarily scheduled for a vessel’s third special survey, which is performed in its 15th year.
During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the costs of our projects and upgrades (which were not attributable to ordinary drydocks, other vessel surveys, or
installation of ballast water treatment systems) were:
2024 2023 2022
Cost (thousands of U.S. dollars) $ 10,830 $ 9,206 $ 5,725
For the Hafnia Vessels we had in operation as at December 31, 2024, we have budgeted for the following projects and upgrades in addition to our planned drydocks for the period
through December 31, 2028:
For the Years Ending December 31,
2025 2026 2027 2028
Expected cost (thousands of U.S. dollars) $ 10,674 $ 4,235 $ 4,235 $ 4,235
Dividends
In April 2024 and November 2022, we updated our dividend policy. See “Item 8. Financial Information – A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information – Dividend
Policy” for additional information on our dividend policy. The declaration and payment of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors.
Our Fleet – Illustrative comparison of excess of carrying amounts over estimated charter-free market value of certain Hafnia Vessels.
During the past few years, the market values of vessels have experienced particular volatility and as a result, the charter-free market value, or basic market value, of all vessels are
well above the carrying amounts of those vessels.
The table set forth below indicates the carrying amount of each of our Hafnia Vessels as at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and the aggregate difference between the
carrying amount and the market value represented by such vessels (see footnotes to the table set forth below). This aggregate difference represents the approximate analysis of the
amount by which we believe we would record a gain if we sold those vessels, in the current environment, on industry standard terms, in cash transactions and to a willing buyer where
we are not under any compulsion to sell, and where the buyer is not under any compulsion to buy. For purposes of this calculation, we have assumed (i) that the vessels would be sold
at a price that reflects our estimate of their basic market values and (ii) for vessels that are under lease financing arrangements, the carrying value of the vessel at the date indicated
would be the price at which we would purchase those vessels back from the lessor. We have not included in the table below those of our vessels that are accounted for as right of use
assets under IFRS 16 – Leases or any of our JV Vessels.

Our estimate of basic market value assumes that our vessels are all in good and seaworthy condition without need for repair and if inspected would be certified in class without
notations of any kind. Additionally, our estimate of each vessel’s basic market rate takes into account the estimated cost to sell the vessel. Our estimates are based on information
available from various industry sources, including:
• reports by industry analysts and data providers that focus on our industry and related dynamics affecting vessel values;
• news and industry reports of similar vessel sales;
• news and industry reports of sales of vessels that are not similar to our vessels where we have made certain adjustments in an attempt to derive information that can be used as
part of our estimates;
• approximate market values for our vessels or similar vessels that we have received from ship brokers, whether solicited or unsolicited, or that ship brokers have generally
disseminated;
• offers that we may have received from potential purchasers of our vessels; and
• vessel sale prices and values of which we are aware through both formal and informal communications with shipowners, shipbrokers, industry analysts and various other
shipping industry participants and observers.
As we obtain information from various industry and other sources, our estimates of basic market value are inherently uncertain. In addition, vessel values and revenues are highly
volatile; as such, our estimates may not be indicative of the current or future basic market value of our Hafnia Vessels or prices that we could achieve if we were to sell them.

(2) Represents our obligations on our IFRS 16 lease liabilities.
(3) Represents estimated interest payments on our secured credit facilities and sale and lease-back liabilities. These payments were estimated by taking into consideration: (i) the margin
on each financing arrangement and (ii) the forward interest rate curve calculated from interest swap rates, as published by a third party, as at December 31, 2024. The forward curve
was calculated as follows as at December 31, 2024:
Year 1 $ 55.2
Year 2 $ 33.2
Years 3 to 5 $ 55.0
Over 5 years $ 15.7
(4) While we will incur costs relating to drydocks in the future, including more than five years in the future, we only do five-year forecasts and therefore are not able to accurately
estimate the costs of drydocks after five years.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are committed to make certain charter hire payments to third parties for chartered-in vessels. IFRS 16 requires us to recognise, on a discounted basis, the rights and obligations
created by the commitment to lease assets on the balance sheet. Leases with a term of lease less than 12 months or of low value would be considered as off-balance sheet arrangements.
Additionally, we have previously had $50 million receivables purchase facility in place which was an off-balance sheet arrangement. This $50 million receivables purchase facility is
no longer in place.
Derivatives
We used financial instruments to reduce the risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. See Note 2 and Note 12 in our
Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for additional information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we have applied a number of new IFRS standards and amendments to IFRS standards as they have become effective.
The adoption of such new and revised IFRS standards has no material effect on the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements attached to this Annual Report. For
further description of these amendments to our accounting policies see Note 2.2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022,
respectively, all of which are included in Item 17 of this Annual Report.
C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, Etc.
Not applicable.
D. Trend Information
We are dependent on the charter rates and freight rates that the vessels in our Combined Fleet, particularly the vessels in our Hafnia Fleet, can achieve. Charter rates and freight
rates for product tankers are largely dependent on the market dynamics within the product tanker market at any given time. The product tanker market has been cyclical and volatile in
the past and may be volatile in the future.
In recent years, the market for product tankers has particularly been impacted by the war between Ukraine and Russia and the sanctions imposed on Russia and Russian oil. This
war was the catalyst for a significant change in international trading patterns which had a material positive influence on the product tanker market. We believe that the market for product
tankers is reaching a new balance after the immediate volatility caused by the Russia-Ukraine war which led to high earnings in the product tanker industry and that although the tonne-
mile gain from the sanctions on Russia and Russian oil will continue to influence the market for product tankers in the future, they will play a lesser role going forward.
While geopolitical concerns persist, the impact on the product tanker market from the war between Ukraine and Russia has eventually settled and is currently limited. However, we
have seen an increased impact on the product tanker market resulting from the disruption to shipping in the Red Sea in connection with the conflict between Israel and Hamas. If tankers
need to take the longer route around the Cape of Good Hope to avoid security concerns and/or rising insurance premiums, reduced tanker capacity and longer voyages may lead to an
increase of freight rates. In the beginning of 2024, we observed such an increase in freight rates due to the disruptions in the Red Sea. However, this elevated freight environment has
prompted a number of crude tankers to transition towards trading clean products, increasing the tanker capacity. Furthermore, we have also noticed the formation of alternative, shorter
trade routes that bypass the Red Sea, leading to shorter voyages for product tankers. These aforementioned factors have led to a weaker earning environment in the third quarter of 2024
and into 2025. Given the ongoing uncertainties surrounding these disruptions, we are not able to accurately assess or estimate the timeline of the potential reopening of the Red Sea and
the extent of its continuing impact.
Recently in 2025, several countries have announced or implemented trade measures, including tariffs, which may impact trade routes and product tanker demand. These measures
could have a direct impact on our business, such as the imposition of fees on vessels operated or built by certain countries, potentially increasing costs for specific trade flows.
Additionally, these measures could also have spillover effects, including protective trade measures that influences the cost of goods transported, leading to shifts in trade patterns and
formation of alternative trade routes. Given the uncertainty surrounding timing, scope and effect of these proposed actions, whether adopted in full or in part, we are currently unable to
accurately assess or estimate its potential impact on our business and operations.

Table of Contents
The product tanker supply outlook remains positive. Despite the orderbook-to-fleet ratio for product tankers increasing in 2024, the average age of global tanker fleet continues to
increase, with a growing number of tankers becoming scrap candidates. Although scrapping levels have been low in recent years, we believe the aging fleet will still have a significant
impact, as older vessels typically operate at a lower utilisation rate as compared to younger vessels. Additionally, in 2025, the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned a
substantial number of vessels, which will significantly reduce the available tonnage for trade. While these sanctions primarily target crude tankers, we anticipate positive spillover effects
on the product tanker market. This would likely reduce the number of crude tanker transitioning to trading clean products, while also prompting some product tankers to shift into crude
transport, effectively tightening supply in the product tankers sector. Our analyses indicate that the combination of an increased volume of vessels being recycled. reduced utilisation
stemming from the aging of the global fleet, and a growing number of sanctioned vessels will contribute to create a tighter supply and demand scenario which should support continued
strong earnings.
For more information on the trends affecting our business, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – B. Business Overview –Industry”.
E. Critical Accounting Judgement and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards, as issued by the IASB.
In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the application of our accounting policies which affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are affected by the accounting policies applied. Certain amounts included in or
affecting this Annual Report and our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures are estimated, requiring us to make assumptions with respect to values or conditions
which cannot be known with certainty at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. A critical accounting estimate or assumption is one which is both important to the
portrayal of our financial condition and results and requires management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the
effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management evaluates such estimates on an ongoing basis, using historical results and experience, consideration of relevant trends,
consultation with experts and other methods considered reasonable in the particular circumstances. Our management believes that the accounting estimates employed for the historical
financial statements for Hafnia Limited are appropriate and the resulting financial statement line items are reasonable. However, future results of Hafnia Limited could differ from original
estimates requiring adjustments to financial statement line items in future periods.
Our critical accounting judgments and estimates relating to “Accounting for pool arrangements”, “Identification of cash-generating units”, “Impairment of non-financial assets”
and “Vessel life and residual value” are further described in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements, which are filed as part of this Annual Report, beginning on page F-1; see
in particular Note 2 in general, Note 2.3 “Critical accounting judgements and estimates”, and Note 9 “Property, plant and equipment”.
F. Safe Harbor
Forward-looking information discussed in this Item 5 includes assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions, and beliefs about future events. These statements are intended as
“forward-looking statements”.
We caution that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions, and beliefs about future events may and often do vary from actual results and the difference can be material. See
the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this Annual Report.

B. Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers
Compensation of Directors
None of the directors decide on their own remuneration. The Nomination Committee proposes the fees that are approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting. It was
resolved by the shareholders at the 2024 annual general meeting that the annual fee to the chair of the Board of Directors for the period from the 2024 annual general meeting to the 2025
annual general meeting is $100,000 and the annual fee for a member of the Board of Directors for the period from the 2024 annual general meeting to the 2025 annual general meeting is
$90,000. The total amount paid to members of the Board of Directors as remuneration for their work on our Board of Directors in 2024 was $398 thousand (rounded).
To maintain the independence of the Board of Directors, the directors’ remuneration is not linked to our performance, nor do we grant share options, similar instruments or
retirement benefits to board members as consideration for their work on our board.
As a general rule, our directors do not undertake special tasks for Hafnia in addition to their directorship. Fees for any such services rendered shall be approved by the Board of
Directors.
Compensation of Executive Officers
The Board of Directors has adopted guidelines and principles for determining the remuneration of executive officers, which are presented to the shareholders at the annual general
meeting and made available on the Company’s website.

The Remuneration Committee (as described below) administers all performance-related elements of the remuneration of executive management. Annually, the Remuneration
Committee prepares recommendations to the Board of Directors relating to the remuneration of the executive officers. The compensation of Hafnia’s executive officers in 2022, 2023 and

(1) Salary figures remain unchanged, but not all amounts are paid in USD. FX rate fluctuations therefore result in slight differences in USD amounts.
(2) Our executive officers do not receive pension as part of the remuneration package. This is considered part of the cash compensation.
In 2024, we paid $3.77 million in aggregate cash compensation to our executive officers.
In addition to the compensation listed above, our executive officers may receive customary non-monetary benefits such as newspaper subscription, telephone subscription,
accommodation when travelling, laptop and Internet access.
In addition to cash compensation and non-monetary benefits, we have adopted a long-term share incentive plan applicable to executive management and certain other key
employees. See below for additional description of this long-term share incentive plan.
Long-term Incentive Plan
We operate an equity-settled, share-based long-term incentive plan for our senior management and key employees (the “LTIP”).
Under this LTIP, share options have been granted to senior management and certain key employees on January 16, 2019, March 1, 2019, June 1, 2019 and August 1, 2019
(collectively “LTIP 2019”), February 25, 2020 (“LTIP 2020”), March 8, 2021 (“LTIP 2021”), March 15, 2022 (“LTIP 2022”), March 22, 2023 (“LTIP 2023”), March 5, 2024 (“LTIP 2024”) and
February 27, 2025 (“LTIP 2025”).
The share options under the LTIP are granted to senior management and key employees of Hafnia at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The LTIP is a stand-alone plan, and a
share option grant in any single year does not indicate or guarantee a share option grant in any subsequent years. The LTIP is also a retention program, meaning that the share option
grant is subject to the option holder’s continued employment with us at the exercise date, and that neither the employee nor a company within our group with which such employee is
employed has given notice of termination of such employee’s employment prior to that date.
The share options under the LTIP, with the exception of LTIP 2025, were issued before the Redomiciliation, and gave the option holder a right to (i) subscribe for new shares or (ii)
purchase one existing common share in us with a par value of $0.01.
The share options generally vest over a three-year period from the grant date. All share options under LTIP 2019 vested three years after the first grant date of LTIP 2019. In
December 2023, the vesting for our CEO’s options under LTIP 2021 was accelerated with these options vesting on December 20, 2023. In May 2024, the Remuneration Committee granted
accelerated vesting to all participants of LTIP 2022, which options vested on May 30, 2024.
The exercise price for the vested share options shall be the higher of (i) $0.01 (being the par value) and (ii) market value as at the grant date, increased by a hurdle rate of 5% p.a.
from the grant date until the vesting date, compounded annually at the anniversary of the grant date (the “exercise price market value”).
With the Redomiciliation and as Singapore does not recognize the concept of par value, for the LTIPs granted prior to the Redomiciliation, this translates to the option holder
having a right to (i) subscribe for new shares or (ii) purchase one existing ordinary share in us, at an exercise price of the higher of (a) $0.01 and (b) the exercise price market value. For
LTIP 2025, which was granted after the Redomiciliation, the terms for exercise of options have been logically amended to reflect the Redomiciliation but is otherwise on similar terms as
the previous LTIPs.

Share options cannot be exercised in blackout periods for trading in our shares, as from time to time resolved by the Board of Directors (such as in a period prior to publication of

C. Board Practices
Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors currently consists of five directors. A director is not required to hold any shares in our company by way of qualification. The directors may exercise all of our
powers to borrow money, mortgage or charge of otherwise grant a security interest in our undertaking, property and uncalled capital, or any part thereof, and issue debentures,
debenture stock or other securities, except for the issuance of preference shares which requires obtaining prior shareholder approval, whether outright or as security for any of our debt,
liability or obligations or of any third party.
Our Board of Directors is elected annually by a vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the meeting where a quorum is present. A quorum is constituted by two or
more persons present in person throughout the meeting and who represent in person or by proxy more than 33% of the total issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company. Our
Constitution provides that our board shall consist of not less than three directors or such number in excess thereof as the shareholders may determine. Our shareholders determined at
the annual general meeting 2024 that the number of directors shall be up to eight. Each director shall hold office until the next annual general meeting following his or her election or until
his or her successor is elected.
There are no service contracts between us and any member of our Board of Directors providing for the accrual of benefits, compensation or otherwise, upon termination of their
employment or service.
Our Board of Directors has determined that the following directors qualify as “independent” under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the Norwegian Code of Practice for
Corporate Governance: Erik Bartnes, Donald John Ridgway, Peter Graham Read and Su Yin Anand.
As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow home country corporate governance practices subject to the NYSE corporate governance listing standards. We rely on home
country practice in Singapore and/or Norway to be exempted from certain of the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE. See “Item 16G. Corporate Governance – Foreign
Private Issuer Exemption”.
Committees
Audit Committee
We have established an audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) comprising two members: Peter Graham Read and Erik Bartnes. The Audit Committee is chaired by Peter Graham
Read. Neither of the members of the Audit Committee has been previous partners or directors of our external auditor KPMG within the last 12 months or hold, or have held, any financial
interest in KPMG within the last ten years.
The members of the Audit Committee are independent of Hafnia and shall serve while they remain on the Board of Directors or until the members of the Board of Directors decide
otherwise or the members wish to retire from their role as a member of the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee reports and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors, but the Board of Directors retains responsibility for implementing such recommendations.

standards of the NYSE and Section 10D and Rule 10D-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If we are required to prepare an accounting restatement of our financial
statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under U.S. securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in
previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current
period or left uncorrected in the current period, we shall be entitled to recover reasonably promptly any excess incentive-based compensation received by any certain executives during
the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which we are required to prepare an accounting restatement.
Our Clawback Policy is administered by the Board of Directors or, if so designated by the Board of Directors, the Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors, which has
discretion, in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, to interpret and implement recovery measures under the policy. The Committee may choose not to pursue recovery

ITEM 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
A. Major Shareholders
The following table presents the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares as at April 14, 2025, for:
• each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to own beneficially 5% or more of our outstanding ordinary shares;
• each of our executive officers and members of our Board of Directors; and
• all of our executive officers and members of our Board of Directors as a group.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Under those rules,
beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual or entity has sole or shared voting power or investment power. Except as otherwise indicated, and subject to
community property laws where applicable, we believe, based on the information provided to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment
power with respect to all ordinary shares shown as beneficially owned by them.
The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based on 497,989,642 ordinary shares outstanding (excluding treasury shares) as at April 14, 2025. Options to
purchase shares that are exercisable within 60 days are deemed to be beneficially owned by the persons holding these options for the purpose of computing percentage ownership of
that person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing any other person’s ownership percentage.

Our ordinary shares trade on Oslo Børs under the symbol HAFNI, and on the NYSE under the symbol HAFN. Since Hafnia is a Singapore company, a principal register of members

We are not aware of any arrangement that may, at a subsequent date, result in a change of control of our Company.
B. Related Party Transactions
A director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a transaction or proposed transaction with our company is required to either (i) declare the nature of his
interest at a meeting of the directors of our Company; or (ii) send a written notice to our Company containing details on the nature, character and extent of such director’s interest in the
transaction or proposed transaction in accordance with the Singapore Companies Act. Following a declaration of interest and unless disqualified by the chair of the relevant board
meeting, such director may vote in respect of any contract, proposed contract, or arrangement that he or she has an interest in and may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of our
directors at which any such contract or proposed contract or arrangement is considered, except certain interested provisions as set out in the Constitution where such director may not
vote, be counted in the quorum or act as chair of the meeting.
Our largest shareholder is BW Group. BW Group is owned by a company controlled by corporate interests associated with the Sohmen family. The chair of our Board of Directors,

We are not affiliated with any other entities in the shipping industry other than BW Group and affiliates of BW Group.
From time to time, we enter into agreements with BW Group Limited and affiliates of BW Group and other related parties. We may enter into transactions with BW Group Limited
and affiliates of BW Group and other related parties from time to time in the future.
We describe below transactions and series of similar transactions, currently in place or currently proposed, to which we were a party or will be a party, which are considered material
for our operations or where the amounts involved per annum exceed or will exceed $100,000. Other than as described below, there is not currently, nor are there any currently proposed,
transactions or series of similar transactions meeting these criteria to which we have been or will be a party.
Shareholder Rights Agreement
We have entered into a shareholder rights agreement (the “Shareholder Rights Agreement”) with BW Group, pursuant to which we have granted certain rights to BW Group and
their affiliates and certain of their transferees.
Pursuant to the Shareholder Rights Agreement, BW Group has the right to designate members to the Board of Directors in accordance with and for so long as BW Group meets
certain beneficial ownership thresholds. Further, pursuant to the terms of the Shareholder Rights Agreement, BW Group has agreed that it shall not, and shall cause its controlled
affiliates not to, transfer any shares of voting securities of Hafnia without the prior written consent of Hafnia to (i) any person or any shareholder group in an amount constituting 15%
or more of the voting securities of Hafnia then outstanding or (ii) any person or shareholder that, immediately following such transfer, would beneficially own in the aggregate 15% or
more of the voting securities of Hafnia then outstanding.
BW Group also has certain customary demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to Hafnia’s ordinary shares pursuant to the Shareholder Rights Agreement.
The Shareholder Rights Agreement will require Hafnia to provide a standard indemnity to BW Group and its controlled affiliates against any claims relating to any untrue statement
of a material fact (or omission of a material fact) in any registration statement or prospectus. The Shareholder Rights Agreement also requires BW Group and its controlled affiliates to
indemnify Hafnia with respect to any untrue statement of a material fact (or omission of a material fact) in any registration statement or prospectus, if such statement or omission was
made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by BW Group and its controlled affiliates specifically for the use therein.
The registration rights will be subject to customary restrictions such as the number of registrations, minimum offering sizes, blackout periods and, if a registration is underwritten,
any limitations on the number of shares to be included in the underwritten offering as advised by the managing underwriter.

foregoing summary of the Shareholder Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Shareholder Rights Agreement, attached as
Exhibit 2.1 to this Annual Report.
Corporate Services Agreement
We have entered into a corporate services agreement (the “Corporate Services Agreement”) with BW Maritime Pte. Ltd. (“BW Maritime”), a subsidiary of BW Group Limited. Under

The Corporate Services Agreement is renewed each year and has been renewed for services with effect from January 1, 2025.
Share lending agreements
In the past, we have from time to time entered into share lending agreements with BW Group. Shares borrowed by us under share lending agreements are classified as treasury
shares. We use such treasury shares, for example, to fulfil exercised options under our equity incentive plans. Subsequent to our borrowing of shares, we will re-issue new shares in the
same amount as borrowed, and these newly issued shares will be returned to the lender as redelivery of the borrowed shares.
During 2024, we entered into one share lending agreement with BW Group on May 27, 2024. This share lending agreement was entered into by us to ensure that we could promptly
deliver existing shares to employees exercising their vested options under LTIP 2022 and to employees with restricted share units under RSU 2022. As consideration for the loan of the
shares, BW Group received a fixed handling fee and a variable fee of 0.40% per cent per annum from the date of the share lending agreement until the day the borrowed shares were
redelivered by way of the issuance of new shares at a subscription price of $0.01 per share. These new shares were issued on June 27, 2024.
We may enter into similar share lending agreements with BW Group Limited or other shareholders in the future.
Loans to joint venture companies

Dividend Policy
Under our Constitution, our Board of Directors may declare cash dividends or distributions. We are subject to Singapore legal constraints that may affect our ability to pay
dividends on our ordinary shares and make other payments. Under Singapore law, a company may only declare and pay dividends out of its profits.
Since we are a holding company with no material assets other than the shares of our subsidiaries through which we conduct our operations, our ability to pay dividends depends
on our subsidiaries distributing their earnings and cash flow to us. See “Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors – Risks Related to Ownership of Our Ordinary Shares” for a
discussion of risks related to our ability to pay dividends.
We are domiciled in Singapore. There are no restrictions on our ability to transfer funds into or out of Singapore to pay dividends to U.S. residents who are holders of our ordinary
shares or other non-resident holders of our ordinary shares in currency other than Singapore Dollars.
Our paying agent for dividends to shareholders holding their shares through the NYSE is Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. and our paying agent for dividends to
shareholders through the OSE is DNB Bank ASA.
Under our Constitution, each ordinary share is entitled to dividends if, as and when dividends are declared by our Board of Directors, subject to any preferred dividend right of the
holders of any preference shares.
We intend to pay dividends in amounts that will allow us to retain sufficient liquidity to fund our obligations as well as execute our business plan going forward. Furthermore, we
have in place a number of financing agreements which include covenants that would restrict our ability, without the prior consent of the lenders, to distribute dividends if we are not in
compliance with certain financial covenants or have existing events of default.
We updated our dividend policy in November 2022 to better align our dividend payout strategy with our overall financial performance. We further updated our dividend policy in
April 2024 to increase the dividend payout ratio compared to the dividend payout ratio under the dividend policy announced in November 2022.
Beginning Q1 of 2024, we target a quarterly payout ratio of net profit, adjusted for extraordinary items, as set forth in the following table:
Net loan to value Payout of net profit (%)
Above 40% 50
Above 30% but equal to or below 40% 60
Above 20% but equal to or below 30% 80
Equal to or below 20% 90
Net loan-to-value is calculated as vessel bank and finance lease debt (excluding debt for vessels sold but pending legal completion), debt from the pool borrowing base facilities
less cash at bank and on hand, divided by broker vessel values (100% owned vessels and asset held for sale).
The final amount of dividend is decided by the Board of Directors. In addition to cash dividends, we may buy back shares as part of our total distribution to shareholders.
In deciding whether to declare a dividend and determining the dividend amount, the Board of Directors will, in addition to the net loan-to-value, take into consideration our capital
structure and capital requirements, our liquidity position, financial condition, general business condition, any legal restrictions, our capital expenditure plans and market outlook.
Additionally, the Board of Directors will consider any restrictions under borrowing arrangements or other contractual arrangements in place at the time.

There can be no assurance that a dividend will be declared in any given year. If a dividend is declared, there can be no assurance that the dividend amount or yield will be as
contemplated above.
The following table sets forth our dividend payout ratio for each quarter of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 where we declared a dividend. We did not
declare any dividend in 2021 as we recorded a net loss in each quarter of 2021. For the periods where a dividend was declared, the Board of Directors did not find it necessary to make
any adjustments when determining the amounts of dividends to be paid out.

The amount utilized for the Share Buyback Program described in “Item 16E. Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers” will be deducted before
declaring future dividends. This ensures the combined total of dividends and share buybacks aligns to the Company’s payout ratio under its dividend policy. As an example, if the
Company achieves a net loan-to-value below 20% and a net profit of $100 million in a given quarter, the Company would target a 90% payout ratio based on the dividend policy,
corresponding to $90 million. However, if during the quarter, the company had utilized $30 million to repurchase shares as part of the Share Buyback Program, the $30 million will be
subtracted from total payout, resulting in $60 million in dividends declared for that quarter. In December 2024 and January 2025, we repurchased $49.1 million and $27.6 million,
respectively, in aggregate principal amount. The amount utilized in December 2024 has been deducted from the payout amount to be declared for Q4 2024, while the amount utilized in
January 2025 will be deducted from the dividend amount to be declared for Q1 2024, ensuring that the combined total of dividends and share buybacks aligns with the payout ratio.

E. Taxation
The following is a description of the material Singapore and U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to an investment decision by a potential investor with respect to our
ordinary shares. This discussion does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant in light of the investor’s particular circumstances. Potential investors should
consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of owning and disposing of our ordinary shares in their particular circumstances.
Singapore Tax Considerations
The following discussion is a summary of material Singapore income tax, goods and services tax (“GST”), and stamp duty considerations relevant to the purchase, ownership, and
disposition of our ordinary shares by an investor who is not tax resident or domiciled in Singapore and who does not carry on business or otherwise have a presence in Singapore. The
statements made herein regarding taxation are general in nature and based on certain aspects of the current tax laws of Singapore and administrative guidelines issued by the relevant
authorities in force as of the date hereof and are subject to any changes in such laws or administrative guidelines, or in the interpretation of those laws or guidelines, occurring after such
date, which changes could be made on a retroactive basis. The statements made herein do not describe all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to all our shareholders, some of
which (such as dealers in securities) may be subject to different rules. The statements are not intended to be and do not constitute legal or tax advice and no assurance can be given that
courts or fiscal authorities responsible for the administration of such laws will agree with the interpretation adopted herein. Each prospective investor should consult an independent tax
advisor regarding all Singapore income tax and other tax consequences applicable to them from owning or disposing of our ordinary shares in light of the investor’s particular
circumstances. The statements below are based upon the assumption that we are tax resident in Singapore for Singapore income tax purposes after the Redomiciliation and that we
(including our subsidiaries) do not own any Singapore residential properties. It is emphasized that neither we nor any other person involved in this document accepts responsibility for
any tax effects or liabilities resulting from the acquisition, holding or disposal of our shares.
Income Taxation Under Singapore Law
Dividend Distributions with Respect to Ordinary Shares
We are registered and tax resident in Singapore. Under the one-tier corporate tax system, dividends paid by a Singapore tax resident company will be exempt from Singapore tax in
the hands of a shareholder, whether or not the shareholder is an individual or a company, and whether or not the shareholder is a Singapore tax resident. Singapore does not impose
withholding tax on dividend distributions.

Table of Contents
Capital Gains upon Disposition of Ordinary Shares
Under current Singapore tax law, there is generally no tax on capital gains while gains of an income nature would be subject to tax at the prevailing income tax rate. As such, any
profits from the disposal of our ordinary shares would not ordinarily (where such decision to transact would have been made in Singapore) be taxable in Singapore unless the profits are
deemed to be income in nature. However, there are no specific laws or regulations which deal with the characterization of whether a gain is income or capital in nature. If the decision to
transact can be construed as having been made in Singapore and the gains from the disposal of ordinary shares can be construed to be of an income nature (the Inland Revenue
Authority of Singapore (“IRAS”) would look at various factors such as the motive, the holding period, the frequency of transactions, the nature of the subject matter, the circumstances
of realization, the mode of financing and other factors to determine the nature of the trade), the disposal profits would be taxable as income rather than capital gains. Such gains, even if
they do not arise from an activity in the ordinary course of trade or business or from an ordinary incident of some other business activity, may also be considered gains or profits of an
income nature if the investor had the intention or purpose of making a profit at the time of acquisition of the shares. As the circumstances of each prospective investor will vary from one
another, each prospective investor should consult an independent tax advisor on the Singapore income tax and other tax consequences that will apply to their individual circumstances.
Subject to certain conditions being satisfied, gains derived by a company from the disposal of our ordinary shares between the period of June 1, 2012 and December 31, 2027
(inclusive of both dates) will not be subject to Singapore income tax under section 13W of the Singapore Income Tax Act 1947, if the divesting company holds a minimum shareholding
of 20% of our ordinary shares and these shares have been held for a continuous minimum period of 24 months. This temporary safe harbour rule is only applicable if the divesting
company, at the time of lodgment of its income tax return in Singapore relating to the period in which the disposal of ordinary shares occurred, provides such information and
documentation as may be specified by the IRAS. The Singapore Minister for Finance has announced in Budget 2025 that, inter alia, the temporary safe harbour rule will be made
permanent by removing the sunset date of December 31, 2027, and that the assessment of the shareholding threshold condition will be allowed to be done “on a group basis” for
disposal gains derived on or after January 1, 2026.
In addition, pursuant to section 34A or 34AA of the Singapore Income Tax Act 1947, shareholders that apply, or that are required to apply, the Financial Reporting Standard 39
(“FRS 39”), Financial Reporting Standard 109 (“FRS 109”) or Singapore Financial Reporting Standard (International) 9 (Financial Instruments) (“SFRS(I) 9”) (as the case may be), for the
purposes of Singapore income tax may be required to recognize unrealised gains or losses (not being gains or losses in the nature of capital) in accordance with the provisions of FRS 39,
FRS 109 or SFRS(I) 9 (as modified by the applicable provisions of Singapore income tax law) even though no sale or disposal of our ordinary shares has been made. Shareholders that
may be subject to such tax treatment should consult their own accounting and tax advisors regarding the Singapore income tax consequences of their acquisition, holding and disposal
of our ordinary shares arising from the adoption of FRS 39, FRS 109, or SFRS(I) 9.
Notwithstanding the above, foreign investors may potentially claim that gains from the disposition of our ordinary shares are not sourced or received in Singapore (so that such
gains will not be subject to Singapore income tax) if: (i) the foreign investor is not a tax resident in Singapore; (ii) the foreign investor does not maintain a permanent establishment in
Singapore, to which the disposition gains may be effectively connected; and (iii) the entire process (including the negotiation, deliberation, execution of the acquisition and sale, etc.)
leading up to the actual acquisition and sale of our ordinary shares is performed outside of Singapore.
Shipping Income
All our shipping income (excluding income from our Joint Ventures) accrues in Singapore, where we exercise strategic or commercial management over our international shipping
activities. Therefore, we are impacted by Singapore income tax legislation. In Singapore, we are currently subject to preferential tax treatment under the Maritime Sector Incentive-
Shipping Enterprise (Singapore Registry of Ships)(“MSI-SRS”) scheme and the Maritime Sector Incentive-Approved International Shipping Enterprise (“MSI-AIS”) award. Under the
MSI-SRS scheme and MSI-AIS, income from international shipping operations is tax exempt. The MSI-SRS is applicable so long as a company owns and/or operates Singapore flagged
vessel(s) for international shipping operations, and requires no additional application or approval. Meanwhile, the MSI-AIS is a renewable award every ten years. Our current ten-year
period under the MSI-AIS award will expire on April 30, 2028 and we intend to apply for a further ten-year extension of the MSI-AIS award. Renewal of the MSI-AIS award is contingent
on various factors where we will be required to, for example, demonstrate a business plan on how our business can generate economic contributions in Singapore through business
spending, employment and ensuring that our strategic or commercial management is in Singapore.

Global Minimum Tax under Pillar Two
Singapore has implemented the Income Inclusion Rule (“IIR”) and the Domestic Top-up Tax (“DTT”) under Pillar Two of the OECD BEPS 2.0 initiative through the enactment of the
Multinational Enterprise (Minimum Tax) Act 2024. The IIR imposes a top-up tax on a relevant Singapore parent entity of a multinational enterprise (“MNE”) group with respect to its
ownership interests in a low-taxed constituent entity that has an effective tax rate (determined for the MNE group on a jurisdictional basis) that is below 15%. The DTT tops up the
effective tax rate of in-scope MNE groups in respect of the profits of their group entities that are operating in Singapore to 15%. Both the DTT and the IIR will apply to business profits
of MNE groups with annual group revenue of at least €750 million, as reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent entity, for financial years starting on or after
January 1, 2025. The Singapore Ministry of Finance has reserved its position on the Undertaxed Profits Rule, and stated that this will be considered at a later stage as it focuses on
implementing the IIR and the DTT for the time being. We will be an in-scope MNE for 2025 and will be subject to IIR and DTT. However, as the majority of our profits arises from
international shipping and international shipping income and ancillary international shipping income are specifically excluded from the tax base, we do not envisage Pillar Two of the
OECD BEPS 2.0 initiative to have a material impact on us.
Stamp Duty
Where shares evidenced in certificated form are transferred and an instrument of transfer is executed (whether physically or in the form of an electronic instrument) in Singapore or
outside Singapore and which is received in Singapore, Singapore stamp duty is payable on the instrument of transfer for the sale of our ordinary shares at the rate of 0.2% of the
consideration for, or market value of, the transferred shares, whichever is higher. The Singapore stamp duty is borne by the purchaser unless there is an agreement to the contrary.
Where the instrument of transfer is executed outside of Singapore and is received in Singapore, Singapore stamp duty must be paid within 30 days of receipt of the instrument of transfer
in Singapore. Electronic instruments that are executed outside Singapore are treated as received in Singapore if: (a) it is retrieved or accessed by a person in Singapore; (b) an electronic
copy of it is stored on a device (including a computer) and brought into Singapore; or (c) an electronic copy of it is stored on a computer in Singapore. Where the instrument of transfer
is executed in Singapore, Singapore stamp duty must be paid within 14 days of the execution of the instrument of transfer.
Goods and Services Tax
The issuance or transfer of our ordinary shares to investors belonging in Singapore is exempt from Singapore GST, while such issuance or transfer to investors belonging outside
Singapore is zero-rated (i.e., charged at 0%). Hence, investors should not incur any GST on the subscription or subsequent transfer of our ordinary shares.
The sale of our ordinary shares by a GST-registered investor belonging in Singapore for GST purposes to another person belonging in Singapore is an exempt supply. Any input
GST incurred by the GST-registered investor in making the exempt supply is generally not recoverable.
Where our ordinary shares are sold by a GST-registered investor in the course of or furtherance of a business carried on by such investor contractually to and for the direct benefit
of a person belonging outside Singapore, the sale should generally, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, be considered a zero-rated supply. Subject to the normal rules for input
tax claims, any input GST incurred by the GST-registered investor in making such a supply in the course of or furtherance of a business carried out by such investor may be fully
recoverable.
Each prospective investor should consult an independent tax advisor on the recoverability of input GST incurred on expenses in connection with the purchase and sale of our
ordinary shares if applicable.
Services consisting of arranging, brokering, underwriting, or advising on the issue, allotment or transfer of ownership of our ordinary shares rendered by a GST-registered person to
an investor belonging in Singapore for GST purposes in connection with the investor’s purchase, holding, or transfer of our ordinary shares will be subject to GST at the current
standard rate of 9%. Similar services rendered by a GST-registered person contractually to and for the direct benefit of an investor belonging outside Singapore should generally, subject
to the satisfaction of certain conditions, be zero-rated (i.e., charged at 0% GST).

Tax Treaties Regarding Withholding Taxes
There is currently no comprehensive avoidance of double taxation agreement between the United States and Singapore which applies to withholding taxes on dividends or capital
gains.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following discussion is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to us of our activities and, subject to the limitations described below, to U.S. Holders
(as defined below) of owning and disposing of our ordinary shares, but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular
person’s decision to acquire our ordinary shares.
This discussion is based on the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions, and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, all as of the date hereof, any of
which is subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.
The discussion below is based, in part, on the description of our business as described in this Annual Report and, unless otherwise stated, assumes that we conduct, and will
continue to conduct, our business as described herein.
U.S. Federal Income Taxation of Our Shipping Income
We anticipate that we will earn substantially all our income from the chartering of vessels for use on a time or voyage charter basis, including through participation in a commercial
pool, or from the performance of services directly related to those uses, all of which we refer to as “shipping income”.
Unless we qualify for an exemption from U.S. federal income taxation under the rules of Section 883 as discussed below, we will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation on our
U.S.-source gross shipping income. For this purpose, “shipping income” includes income that is derived from, or in connection with (i) the use of vessels, (ii) the hiring or leasing for use
of vessels, (iii) the performance of services directly related to the use of vessels, and (iv) the participation in a pool, partnership, strategic alliance, joint operating agreement or other joint
venture that directly or indirectly generates income described in (i) through (iii). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S.-source shipping income includes 50% of shipping income that
is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the United States and 100% of shipping income attributable to transportation exclusively
between U.S. ports. Shipping income attributable to transportation exclusively between non-U.S. ports will be considered to be 100% derived from sources outside the U.S. and not
subject to any U.S. federal income tax. We do not expect to engage in transportation that produces income that is considered to be 100% U.S.-source shipping income.
Under Section 883 and the applicable Treasury regulations, a non-U.S. corporation will be exempt from U.S. federal income tax on its U.S.-source shipping income if:
(1) it is organised in a “qualified foreign country”, which is a country that grants an “equivalent exemption” from tax to corporations organised in the United States in respect of
each category of shipping income for which exemption is being claimed under Section 883; and
(2) either
(a) more than 50% of the value of its shares is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by “qualified shareholders”, which as defined includes, among others, individuals
who are “residents” of a qualified foreign country;
(b) its shares are “primarily traded and regularly traded on an established securities market” in a qualified foreign country or in the United States; or
(c) it is a “controlled foreign corporation” and one or more qualified U.S. persons generally own more than 50 percent of the total value of all the outstanding stock.
Following the Redomiciliation, we are tax resident in Singapore, which is a qualified foreign country that currently grants the requisite equivalent exemption from tax in respect of
each category of shipping income we expect to earn in the future. Therefore, we would be exempt from U.S. federal income taxation with respect to our U.S.-source shipping income if we
are able to satisfy any of the ownership tests described above. As discussed further below, as at the date of this Annual Report, it is not clear whether we will be able to satisfy any of
these tests for any taxable year.

Table of Contents
Under Treasury regulations promulgated under Section 883, stock of a non-U.S. corporation will be “primarily traded” on an established securities market in a given country for a
particular taxable year if, with respect to the class or classes of stock relied upon to meet the “regularly traded” requirement discussed in the next sentence, the number of shares of each
such class that are traded during such taxable year on all established securities markets in that country exceeds the number of shares in such class that are traded during such taxable
year on established securities markets in any other country. The stock of a non-U.S. corporation generally will be considered to be “regularly traded” on an established securities market
for any taxable year during which one or more classes of stock that, in the aggregate, represent more than 50% of the vote and value of the outstanding stock in such non-U.S.
corporation satisfy certain listing and trading volume requirements. However, a class of stock will not satisfy the “regularly traded” requirement for any taxable year during which 50% or
more of the vote and value of the outstanding shares of such class is owned, actually or constructively under specified attribution rules, on more than half the days during the taxable
year by persons who each own 5% or more of the vote and value of such class of outstanding shares (“5% Override Rule”). In the event the 5% Override Rule is met, the Treasury
regulations provide that the 5% Override Rule will nevertheless not apply if we can establish that within the group of 5% shareholders, there are sufficient qualified shareholders for
purposes of Section 883 to preclude non-qualified shareholders in such group from owning 50% or more of the total value of our ordinary shares for more than half the number of days
during the taxable year. In order to benefit from this exception to the 5% Override Rule, the Company must satisfy certain substantiation requirements with respect to the identity of its
shareholders.
Whether we continue to qualify for the exemption under Section 883 may, in certain circumstances, depend on a specified percentage of our ordinary shares being owned, directly
or indirectly, by shareholders who meet certain tests, including being resident in the United States or certain foreign countries. In such circumstances, we would be required to satisfy
certain substantiation and reporting requirements to establish that we so qualify, which in turn would require such shareholders (and certain intermediaries through which they indirectly
own our ordinary shares) to provide us with certain documentation. The ownership of our ordinary shares may not allow us to so qualify for the exemption under Section 883, or, even if
the ownership of our ordinary shares would allow us to so qualify, we may not be able to satisfy the substantiation and reporting requirements that we would need to meet to establish
that we so qualify. As a result, although we expect to use reasonable efforts to determine whether we can qualify for the exemption under Section 883, we cannot provide any assurance
that we will qualify for the exemption under Section 883 for 2025 or any subsequent taxable year. If the benefits of Section 883 are unavailable, our U.S.-source shipping income would be
subject to a 4% tax imposed by Section 887 of the Code on a gross basis, without the benefit of deductions, to the extent that such income is not considered to be “effectively
connected” with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, as described below. Because we expect that no more than 50% of our shipping income would be treated as U.S.-source shipping
income under the sourcing rules described above, we expect that the maximum effective rate of U.S. federal income tax on our shipping income would not exceed 2% under the 4% gross
basis tax rules. The imposition of this tax could have a negative effect on our business and could decrease our earnings available for distribution to our shareholders.
If the exception under Section 883 were unavailable, and any of our U.S.-source shipping income were considered to be “effectively connected” with the conduct of a U.S. trade or
business, as described below, any such “effectively connected” U.S.-source shipping income, net of applicable deductions, would be subject to U.S. federal income tax, currently
imposed at a rate of 21%. In addition, we would generally be subject to the 30% “branch profits” tax on earnings effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or business, as
determined after allowance for certain adjustments, and on certain interest paid or deemed paid attributable to the conduct of such U.S. trade or business.
Our U.S.-source shipping income would be considered “effectively connected” with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business only if:
• we had, or were considered to have, a fixed place of business in the United States involved in the earning of U.S.-source shipping income; and
• substantially all of our U.S.-source shipping income was attributable to regularly scheduled transportation, such as the operation of a vessel that follows a published schedule
with repeated sailings at regular intervals between the same points for voyages that begin or end in the United States.
We do not intend to have, or permit circumstances that would result in us having, any vessel sailing to or from the United States on a regularly scheduled basis. Based on the
foregoing and on the expected mode of our shipping operations and other activities, it is anticipated that none of our U.S.-source shipping income will be “effectively connected” with
the conduct of a U.S. trade or business.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation of Gain on Sale of Assets
Regardless of whether we qualify for exemption under Section 883, we will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to gains realised on a sale of a vessel, provided the
sale is considered to occur outside of the United States under U.S. federal income tax principles. In general, a sale of a vessel will be considered to occur outside of the United States for
this purpose if title to the vessel, and risk of loss with respect to the vessel, pass to the buyer outside of the United States. To the extent circumstances permit, we intend to structure any
sale of vessels in such a manner, including effecting the sale and delivery of vessels outside of the United States.
U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders
A “U.S. Holder” is a holder who, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is a beneficial owner of our ordinary shares and is (i) a citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a
corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organised in or under the laws of the United States, any state therein or the District of Columbia; or (iii) an estate or trust
the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.
The following discussion applies only to a U.S. Holder that holds our ordinary shares as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, the following discussion
does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant in light of the U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, including alternative minimum tax and Medicare contribution tax
consequences, as well as the tax consequences applicable to U.S. Holders subject to special rules, such as:
• certain financial institutions;
• dealers or traders in securities who use a mark-to-market method of tax accounting;
• persons holding our ordinary shares as part of a hedging transaction, straddle, wash sale, conversion transaction or integrated transaction or persons entering into a
constructive sale with respect to our ordinary shares;
• persons whose functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar;
• entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
• tax-exempt entities;
• persons holding ordinary shares in accounts that offer certain tax advantages, including an “individual retirement account” or “Roth IRA”;
• persons that own or are deemed to own 10 percent or more of our shares by vote or value; or
• persons holding ordinary shares in connection with a trade or business conducted outside of the United States.
If an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes owns our ordinary shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend
on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships owning our ordinary shares and partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisers as to the
particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of our ordinary shares.
U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of owning and disposing of our ordinary shares in their
particular circumstances.
Distributions
Subject to the PFIC rules described below, distributions paid on our ordinary shares, other than certain pro rata distributions of ordinary shares, will generally be treated as
dividends to the extent paid out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Because the Company does not
maintain calculations of its earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that distributions to U.S. Holders generally will be reported as dividends. The
amount of the dividend generally will be treated as foreign-source dividend income to U.S. Holders and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally available to
U.S. corporations under the Code. Dividends will be included in a U.S. Holder’s income on the date of the U.S. Holder’s receipt of the dividend.

Subject to applicable limitations, including a holding period requirement, dividends paid on our ordinary shares to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders will generally be treated as
“qualified dividend income” that is taxable to such U.S. Holders at preferential tax rates provided that (i) our ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the
U.S. (such as the NYSE, on which our ordinary shares are expected to be traded); and (ii) we are not a PFIC for the taxable year during which the dividend is paid or the immediately
preceding taxable year (which, as discussed below, we do not believe that we are, were for our 2024 taxable year, or will be for any future taxable years). Any dividends paid by us which
are not eligible for these preferential rates will be taxed as ordinary income to a non-corporate U.S. Holder. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the availability of the
preferential tax rates on dividends in their particular circumstances.
Sale or Other Disposition of Our Ordinary shares
Subject to the PFIC rules described below, gain or loss realised on the sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain
or loss if the U.S. Holder held our ordinary shares for more than one year. The amount of the gain or loss will equal the difference between the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the ordinary
shares disposed of and the amount realised on the disposition. This gain or loss will generally be U.S.-source gain or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. A U.S. Holder’s
ability to deduct capital losses is subject to certain limitations.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
In general, a non-U.S. corporation will be considered a PFIC for any taxable year in which (i) 75% or more of its gross income consists of passive income or (ii) 50% or more of the
average quarterly value of its assets consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. For purposes of the above calculations, a non-U.S. corporation
that directly or indirectly owns at least 25% by value of the shares of another corporation is treated as if it held its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation and received
directly its proportionate share of the income of the other corporation. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents, royalties and capital gains, other than rents and
royalties which are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business. For purposes of these tests, income derived from the performance of
services generally does not constitute passive income.
We believe that we were not a PFIC for our 2024 taxable year. Based on our current and expected operations, we believe that we will not be a PFIC with respect to our 2025 taxable
year and do not expect to become a PFIC in the foreseeable future. We intend to treat our income from our time charters and voyage charters, including through commercial pools, as
services income, and not as rental income, for purposes of applying these rules. Accordingly, we believe that our income from our time charters and voyage charters, including through
commercial pools, does not constitute passive income for purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC, and, consequently, the assets that we own and operate in connection with the
production of that income do not constitute passive assets. While there is no authority under the PFIC rules that directly addresses the treatment of income derived from time charters
and voyage charters, including through commercial pools, as passive or nonpassive income, there is substantial legal authority supporting the treatment of such income as not
constituting passive income for other tax purposes. However, there is also authority which characterises income from time charters as rental income rather than services income for other
tax purposes. Accordingly, the IRS or a court might not accept our position, and there is a risk that the IRS or a court may determine that we are a PFIC. Moreover, no assurance can be
given that we would not become a PFIC for any future taxable year if the nature and extent of our operations change.
If the IRS were successful in asserting that we have been a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held our ordinary shares, a U.S. Holder could be subject to certain
adverse tax consequences. Unless the U.S. Holder were to make a timely “mark-to-market” election, as discussed below, gain recognised on a sale or other disposition (including certain
pledges) of our ordinary shares would be allocated rateably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period of the ordinary shares. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of disposition and to
the years before we became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for that
taxable year for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, and an interest charge would be imposed on the tax attributable to the allocated amounts. Further, to the extent that any
distribution received by a U.S. Holder on its ordinary shares exceeded 125% of the average of the annual distributions on the ordinary shares received during the preceding three years
or the U.S. Holder’s holding period, whichever is shorter, that distribution would be subject to taxation in the same manner as gain, described immediately above. In addition, generally
we would continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to the U.S. Holder for all succeeding years during which the U.S. Holder held our ordinary shares, even if we ceased to meet the
threshold requirements for PFIC status. If we were treated as a PFIC for the taxable year in which we paid a dividend or the prior taxable year, the dividend would not constitute “qualified
dividend income” and the preferential tax rates discussed above (under “ – Distributions”) would not apply.

Table of Contents
In addition, if we were treated as a PFIC, certain of our corporate subsidiaries may also be treated as PFICs (any such subsidiaries which are PFICs, “Lower-tier PFICs”). Under
attribution rules, if we were treated as a PFIC, U.S. Holders will be deemed to own their proportionate shares of our Lower-tier PFICs and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax
according to the rules described herein on (i) certain distributions by a Lower-tier PFIC and (ii) a disposition of shares of a Lower-tier PFIC, in each case as if the U.S. Holder held such
shares directly, even though holders have not received the proceeds of those distributions or dispositions directly.
If we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year and our ordinary shares were “regularly traded” on a “qualified exchange”, a U.S. Holder could make a mark-to-market election
that would result in tax treatment different from the general tax treatment for PFICs described above. Our ordinary shares will be treated as “regularly traded” in any calendar year in
which more than a de minimis quantity of the ordinary shares are traded on a qualified exchange on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. The NYSE, on which our ordinary
shares are expected to be listed, is a qualified exchange for this purpose. Even if the mark-to-market election is available with respect to our ordinary shares, such election will generally
not be available with respect to any of our subsidiaries that are Lower-tier PFICs. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the availability and advisability of making a
mark-to-market election in their particular circumstances.
If a U.S. Holder were to make the mark-to-market election, such U.S. Holder generally would recognise as ordinary income any excess of the fair market value of our ordinary shares
at the end of each taxable year over its adjusted tax basis, and would recognise an ordinary loss in respect of any excess of the adjusted tax basis of our ordinary shares over their fair
market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of income previously included as a result of the mark-to-market election). If a U.S. Holder were to
make the election, the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the ordinary shares would be adjusted to reflect the income or loss amounts recognised. Any gain recognised on the sale or other
disposition of our ordinary shares in a year when we are a PFIC would be treated as ordinary income and any loss would be treated as an ordinary loss (but only to the extent of the net
amount of income previously included as a result of the mark-to-market election). Dividends paid on our ordinary shares would not constitute “qualified dividend income” and the
preferential tax rates discussed above (under “– Distributions”) would not apply.
We do not intend to provide information necessary for U.S. Holders to make qualified electing fund elections, which if available could result in a further alternative treatment.
If a U.S. Holder owns our ordinary shares during any year in which we are treated as a PFIC, the U.S. Holder generally must file an annual report on an IRS Form 8621(or any
successor form) with the U.S. Holder’s federal income tax return for that year.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Payments of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries generally are subject to information
reporting, and may be subject to backup withholding, unless (i) the U.S. Holder is a corporation or other exempt recipient or (ii) in the case of backup withholding, the U.S. Holder
provides a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that it is not subject to backup withholding.
The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle it to a refund,
provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals or entities closely held by individuals may be required to report information relating to securities of non-U.S. companies, such as our
ordinary shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for securities held in accounts maintained by financial institutions, in which case the accounts themselves may be
reportable if maintained by non-U.S. financial institutions). U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding their reporting obligations with respect to our ordinary shares.

H. Documents on Display
We are subject to the public reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, we are required to file reports and other information with the SEC, including annual reports
on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K. The SEC maintains an Internet site at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information we file
electronically with the SEC.
As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt under the Exchange Act from, among other things, the rules prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our executive
officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will
not be required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered
under the Exchange Act.
However, we will file with the SEC, within four months after the end of each financial year, or such applicable time as required by the SEC, an annual report on Form 20-F containing
financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. We also intend to voluntarily file with the SEC current reports on Form 6-K that include quarterly
financial statements.
In addition, since our ordinary shares are traded on the Oslo Børs, we have filed periodic and immediate reports with, and furnish information to, the Oslo Børs.
We will send the transfer agent a copy of all notices of shareholders’ meetings and other reports, communications and information that are made generally available to shareholders.
The transfer agent has agreed to mail to all shareholders all notices of shareholders’ meetings and a notice containing the information (or a summary of the information) contained in any
notice of a meeting of our shareholders received by the transfer agent and to make available to all shareholders such notices and all such other reports and communications received by
the transfer agent.
I. Subsidiary Information

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Risk.
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect our income or the value of our holdings of financial
instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
We buy and sell derivatives, and also incur financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are conducted within the guidelines set by us. Generally, we
seek to apply hedge accounting in order to manage volatility in profit or loss.
Price Risk.
Our revenue is primarily derived from voyages carried out by the Hafnia Vessels and the TC Vessels. This makes us exposed to considerable volatility, particularly for those of our
Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels which operate on voyage charters in the spot market, or which operate in our spot market-oriented Pools. We have mitigated some of this volatility by
employing some of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels on 0–24-month time charters or long-term time charters for our newbuilds which provide an income stream that is not affected to
the same extent by fluctuations in freight rates. In 2024, approximately 5% (2023: 5%, 2022: 4%) of our shipping revenue was derived from vessels under fixed income charters (comprising
time charters).
We have additionally entered into freight forward agreements to manage our exposure to volatile freight rates. As at December 31, 2024, we had outstanding positions with a
notional amount of $79.7 million (2023: $69.7 million, 2022: $7.3 million) which will mature in the 12 months from December 31, 2024.
If the spot rates for all of our vessel classes had increased or decreased by $1,000, our TCE income would be lower/higher by $37.1 million (2023: $37.1 million, 2022: $40.8 million) as
a result of higher/lower spot rates.
Our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels primarily consume fuel oil, referred to in the shipping industry as bunkers, and we are therefore exposed to the risk of variations in fuel oil costs.
The price of bunkers is affected by the global political and economic environment and can be unpredictable.
Historically, fuel expenses have been our most significant expense. Under a time charter, the charterer is responsible for fuel costs and therefore, fixed-income time charters reduce
our exposure to fuel price fluctuations. We are exposed to fluctuations in bunker prices which are not reflected in the freight rates achieved by us. To reduce this exposure, we hedge our
bunker exposure with oil product instruments to the extent the bunker element in the freight rates achieved is considered fixed.
In 2024, fuel oil consumed by Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels amounted to $357.5 million (2023: $349.1 million, 2022: $388.5 million). If the price of fuel had increased/decreased by $1
per metric ton with all other variables including tax rate being held constant, the net results would be lower/higher by $891,737 (2023: $801,249, 2022: $470,881) as a result of higher/lower
fuel consumption expense.
We own vessels and lease vessels on sale and lease-back arrangements and therefore we are exposed to risks associated with changes in the value of the vessels, which can vary
considerably during their useful lives, including as a result of fluctuations in freight rates. As at December 31, 2024, the carrying value of our Hafnia Vessels was $2,588.2 million (2023:
$2,742.1 million, 2022: $2,807.5 million). Based on broker valuations, our Hafnia Vessels had a market value of $3,907.0 million as at December 31, 2024 (2023: $4,214.4 million, 2022: $3,967.5
million).
Currency Risk.
The functional currency of most of our Group entities is U.S. dollars. Our operating revenue, and the majority of our interest-bearing debt and contractual obligations for vessels
under construction are denominated in U.S. dollars. Our Hafnia Vessels are also valued in U.S. dollars when trading in the second-hand market. We are exposed to foreign currency
exchange risks for administrative expenses incurred by offices or agents globally, predominantly in Monaco, Denmark and Singapore. Further, we are required to pay port charges in
currencies other than U.S. dollars; however, foreign currency exposure in port charges is minimal as any increase is usually compensated by a corresponding increase in freight,
particularly in the tanker sector through industry-wide increases in Worldscale flat rates. As at the date of this Annual Report, we have cash and cash equivalents denominated in U.S.
dollars, NOK, DKK, SGD, AED (United Arab Emirates dirham) and EUR. At December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we have assessed that we have insignificant exposure to foreign currency
risks. However, we have entered into foreign exchange contracts to hedge its general and administrative costs to avoid short term volatility.

Table of Contents
Interest Rate Risk.
We adopt a policy of ensuring that between 40% and 75% of our interest rate risk exposure is at a fixed rate or limited to a certain threshold. This is achieved partly by entering into
fixed-rate instruments and partly by borrowing at a floating rate and using interest rate swaps as hedges of the variability in cash flows attributable to interest rate risk. We apply a hedge
ratio of 1:1. We determine the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the reference interest rates, tenors, repricing dates and
maturities and the notional or par amounts. We assess whether the derivative designated in each hedging relationship is expected to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of
the hedged item using the hypothetical derivative method. In these hedge relationships, the main sources of ineffectiveness are: (1) the effect of the counterparty and our own credit risk
on the fair value of the swaps, which is not reflected in the change in the fair value of the hedged cash flows attributable to the change in interest rates; and (2) differences in repricing
dates between the swaps and the borrowings. We have interest-bearing financial liabilities in the form of borrowings from external financial institutions at variable rates. We manage our
cashflow interest rate risks by swapping a portion of our floating rate interest payments to fixed rate payments using interest rate swaps. A fundamental reform of major interest rate
benchmarks has been undertaken globally to replace or reform IBOR with alternative nearly risk-free rates (referred to as “IBOR reform”). We had significant exposure to IBORs on our
financial instruments which has been replaced or reformed as a part of the IBOR reform. Generally, U.S. LIBOR has been replaced by U.S. SOFR. We no longer have any instruments,
including any hedging relationships, subject to IBOR rates.
We hold derivatives for risk management purposes. These derivatives have floated legs that are indexed to U.S. dollar SOFR. Our derivative instruments are governed by contracts
based on the ISDA master agreements.
If the interest rates had increased/decreased by 50 basis points, with all other variables including tax rate being held constant, the net results will be lower/higher by $2.8 million
(2023: $1.8 million, 2022: $1.5 million) as a result of higher/lower interest expense on the portion of the borrowings that is not covered by the interest rate swap instruments. If the interest
rates had increased/decreased by 50 basis points, with all other variables including tax rate being held constant, the net results will be lower/higher by approximately US$4.8 million
(2023: $5.8 million, 2022: US$4.9 million) as a result of higher/lower interest expense on borrowings; had no hedging been in place. Total equity would have been higher/lower by $6.3
million (2023: $13.7 million, 2022: $14.4 million) mainly as a result of fair value gain/loss from the interest rate swaps assuming these swaps remain effective.
Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk
that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. We entered into interest rate agreements to limit exposure to interest rate fluctuations. As at
December 31, 2024, the notional principal amount of these interest rate swaps represents 45% (2023: 80%, 2022: 55%) of our borrowings on floating interest rates.
Credit risk.
Our credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and loan receivables from joint ventures. The maximum exposure is represented by
the carrying value of each financial asset on the balance sheet.
We perform periodic credit evaluations of our charterers. We have implemented policies to ensure cash funds are deposited and derivatives are entered into with banks and
internationally recognised financial institutions with a good credit rating and that our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels are fixed to charterers with an appropriate credit rating who can
provide sufficient guarantees. There is no class of financial assets that is past due and/or impaired.
We apply the simplified lifetime approach and use a provision matrix to determine the ECLs of trade receivables and contract assets. It is based on our historical observed default
rates and is adjusted by a current and forward-looking estimate based on current economic conditions.
Credit risk is concentrated on several charterers. We adopt the policy of dealing only with customers with appropriate credit history. Derivative counterparties and cash
transactions are limited to high credit quality financial institutions. We have policies that limit the amount of credit exposure to any financial institution.

Liquidity risk.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet operating
and capital expenditure needs. To address the inherent unpredictability of short-term liquidity requirements, we maintain sufficient cash for our daily operations in short-term cash
deposits with banks, have access to the unutilised portions of revolving credit facilities and enter into trade receivables factoring agreement (with limited recourse to us) with financial
institutions.
Capital Risk.
Our objectives when managing capital are to safeguard our ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximise shareholders’ value.
In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, we may adjust the amount of dividends paid, return capital to shareholders, obtain new borrowings or sell assets to reduce
borrowings. We are in compliance with all externally imposed capital requirements.
Inflation risk.
Inflation has a significant impact on operating or other expenses; however, our contracts do not generally contain inflation-adjustment mechanisms and we are subject to risks
related to inflation.
We consider inflation to be a significant risk to costs in the current and foreseeable future economic environment. Should the world economy continue to be affected by inflationary
pressures this could result in increased operating and financing costs.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives as there are inherent
limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and
procedures.
We evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as
of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
In connection with the NYSE Listing and the preparation of our 2024 Registration Statement, we identified three material weaknesses in the internal control over financial reporting.
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board defines a “material weakness” as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that
there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the registrant’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material
weaknesses identified relate to:
(i) not having a sufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of IFRS accounting skills, SEC reporting knowledge and experience and training in internal controls
over financial reporting;
(ii) not having sufficient information technology controls and documentation; and
(iii) the review process over assumptions and inputs used in several key accounting estimates.
In 2024, with the support of advisors and under supervision of the CFO and the Audit Committee, we have implemented a plan to remediate the aforementioned material weakness.
The plan to remediate these material weaknesses includes:
(i) establishing a formal process to evaluate the design and implementation of the internal controls over financial reporting,
(ii) designing and implementing controls based on that evaluation, and
(iii) recruiting more qualified personnels, performing skills gap analysis and training within our existing finance organisation to strengthen the financial reporting function.
To strengthen our capabilities in IFRS, SEC reporting, and internal controls over financial reporting, we have expanded our team by hiring additional qualified personnel as of the
date of this Annual Report. We are also in the process of establishing a disclosure committee dedicated to the oversight of disclosure controls and procedures.

Table of Contents
With respect to our information technology controls and documentation, as of December 31, 2024 we are formalizing existing and implementing additional internal control
procedures and policies to improve the information technology process, including but not limited to enhancing and centralizing our user access management by implementing an access
matrix. This approach establishes a secured, structured and efficient method for granting system access. Additionally, the integration of the ServiceNow application will support proper
logging and documentation, further strengthening access controls and compliance.
We have also established a formal process to govern the review of assumptions and key inputs used in our key accounting estimates. This process includes the formal
documentation of the underlying assumptions and methodologies, as well as structured quarterly reviews with the CFO and the Audit Committee to assess the appropriateness and
consistency of these estimates.
The material weaknesses will not be considered fully remediated until the applicable remediated controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded,
through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Please see “Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors – We have previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that could, if not
remediated, result in material misstatements in our financial statements. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to
accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, shareholders could lose confidence in our financial and other public reporting, which would harm our business
and the trading price of our ordinary shares”.
B. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
This Annual Report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting due to a transition period established by rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.
C. Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for newly public companies.
D. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this Annual Report and as described above, there were changes to our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve the internal control over financial reporting, we may take
additional measures to address control deficiencies, or may modify certain remediation measures until the applicable remediated controls operate for a sufficient period of time and
management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
In general, under the NYSE corporate governance standards, foreign private issuers, as defined under the Exchange Act, are permitted to follow home country corporate
governance practices instead of the corporate governance practices of the NYSE, subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, we intend to follow certain corporate governance practices
of our home country, Singapore and/or Norway, as applicable, in lieu of certain of the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE.
We have aligned our corporate governance practices with the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance dated October 14, 2021 issued by the Norwegian Corporate
Governance Board (the “Code of Practice”).
A report on our compliance with the Code of Practice is attached to this Annual Report as Exhibit 15.3.
For a summary of any significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from those followed by US domestic companies under NYSE rules, please see “– Foreign
Private Issuer Exemption” below.

Foreign Private Issuer Exemption
In general, under the NYSE corporate governance standards, foreign private issuers, as defined under the Exchange Act, are permitted to follow home country corporate
governance practices instead of the corporate governance practices of the NYSE, subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, we intend to follow certain corporate governance practices
of our home country, Singapore, and the jurisdiction of our principal listing, Norway, in lieu of certain of the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE. A brief summary of those
differences is provided below.
Independence of directors. The NYSE requires that a listed U.S. company maintain a majority of independent directors. As permitted under Singapore law and our Constitution, our
Board of Directors is composed of five members, of whom four qualify as “independent” under the listing standards of the NYSE.
Audit committee. The NYSE requires, among other things, that a listed NYSE U.S. company have an audit committee of at least three members all of whom must be independent in
accordance with Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and an audit committee charter specifying certain specific duties and obligations of the audit committee. Consistent with our status
as a foreign private issuer and the jurisdiction of our domicile (Singapore), our Audit Committee consists of two members (who are independent under the NYSE listing standards and
U.S. securities laws relating to audit committees) and we will rely on home country practice in Singapore to be exempt from certain of the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE,
including the requirement to have three audit committee members.
Compensation committee. The NYSE requires that a listed NYSE U.S. company have a compensation committee of independent directors and a compensation committee charter
specifying the purpose, duties and evaluation procedures of the compensation committee. We will rely on home country practice in Singapore to be exempted from certain of the
corporate governance requirements of the NYSE, such that we will not be amending the composition of our current Remuneration Committee.
Nominating and governance committee. The NYSE requires that a listed NYSE U.S. company have a nominating/corporate governance committee of independent directors and a
committee charter specifying the purpose, duties and evaluation procedures of the committee. We will rely on home country practice in Singapore to be exempted from certain of the
corporate governance requirements of the NYSE, although we currently have a Nomination Committee responsible for the Board of Directors succession plans by nominating candidates
for the election as directors and as chair of the Board of Directors and for nominating members of the Nomination Committee, as well as making recommendations for remuneration of
these persons.
Shareholder Approval. The NYSE requires that a NYSE-listed company obtain shareholder approval for, among other things, the issuance of shares (i) in connection with the
acquisition of stock or assets of another company; (ii) when it would result in a change of control; (iii) when a share option or purchase plan is to be established or materially amended or
other equity compensation arrangement made or materially amended, pursuant to which shares may be acquired by officers, directors, employees, or consultants; or (iv) in connection
with a transaction (other than a public offering) involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance of shares at a price less than market value. Our Constitution, consistent with our status
as a foreign private issuer and the jurisdiction of our domicile (Singapore), will require shareholder approval for issuances of shares.
Corporate governance guidelines. The NYSE requires U.S. companies to adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. The guidelines must address, among other things,
director qualification standards, director responsibilities, director access to management and independent advisers, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education,
management succession and an annual performance evaluation. We are not required to adopt such guidelines under Singapore law and we have not adopted such guidelines. We have
adopted a corporate governance policy, a copy of which can be found on our website at www.hafnia.com. This website is provided as an inactive textual reference only. None of the
information contained on this website is incorporated into or forms a part of this Annual Report. As stated above, we have aligned our corporate governance practices with the Code of
Practice.
If at any time we cease to be a “foreign private issuer” under the rules of the NYSE and the Exchange Act, as applicable, our Board of Directors will be required to take all action
necessary to comply with the NYSE corporate governance rules.
Due to our status as a foreign private issuer and our intent to follow certain home country corporate governance practices, our shareholders will not have the same protections
afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all the NYSE corporate governance standards. See Exhibit 2.2 “Description of Securities Registered Pursuant to Section 12 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934” for additional description of our ordinary shares.

In addition, as a foreign private issuer, we will not be subject to the following requirements under U.S. securities laws applicable to domestic issuers:
• The requirement to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, from filing proxy solicitation materials on Schedule 14A or 14C in connection with annual or special meetings of
shareholders.

ITEM 16J. INSIDER TRADING POLICIES
Our Board of Directors has adopted an insider policy governing the purchase, sale and other dispositions of our ordinary shares by our directors, executive officers and employees.
A copy of our insider policy is included as Exhibit 11.3 to this Annual Report.
ITEM 16K. CYBERSECURITY
Risk management and strategy
We recognize the critical importance of cybersecurity in protecting our operations, IT infrastructure, and business continuity. Our IT systems support essential functions,
including vessel operations, financial reporting, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder communications. To safeguard these systems, we have established a comprehensive
cybersecurity framework based on industry standards and best practices.
Hafnia’s IT infrastructure is fully hosted in Azure Enterprise Scale Landing Zones, which provides a secure cloud environment with built-in security controls. We have also
outsourced first-level 24/7 cybersecurity surveillance to a third-party security operations center (“SOC”), which follows ISO 27000 standards and utilizes 900+ detection rules, a library of
custom automation, and hands-on keyboard responses to detect, halt and eradicate threats including, but not limited to, ransomware, compromised credentials, malicious insider actions,
malware, zero-days, non-malware attacks, multi-vector attacks, and malicious links in emails and other communication tools. The digital forensics and incident response provided by the
SOC includes forensics, root cause investigation, analysis and reporting to stakeholders, with evidence processed in Azure with a chain of custody, legal support and expert witness
testimony. ISO 27000 refers to a series of standards for information security management systems for information published by the International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”)
and the International Electrotechnical Commission.
Our cybersecurity risk management strategy aligns with regulatory frameworks, including the NIS2 Directive, SEC disclosure requirements (Item 16K), and IMO cybersecurity
guidelines.
Our cybersecurity strategy includes the following key components:
• Continuous Security Monitoring: Our IT systems are monitored 24/7 by the SOC to detect and mitigate threats.
• Quarterly Automated Penetration Testing: We conduct automated penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities proactively.
• Ongoing Cybersecurity Awareness Training: Employees undergo continuous security awareness and phishing training through a third-party platform that automatically
delivers personalized, gamified training.
• Regular Risk Assessments & Audits: Cyber risk assessments are conducted quarterly to identify vulnerabilities and implement controls.
• Regulatory Compliance: We adhere to NIS2, SEC 16K, IMO, and GDPR cybersecurity standards.
IT Security Policies
Hafnia’s IT Security Policy is based on industry-leading frameworks, including ISO 27001 and NIST standards, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our IT systems
and data. Our policy applies to all employees and stakeholders, establishing clear protocols for incident response, access management, and risk mitigation.
Additionally, we utilize key security controls including:
• Identity and Access Management (IAM): Enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based access control.
• Advanced Threat Protection: Leveraging Microsoft Azure security features, including threat intelligence and endpoint protection.
• Incident Response Framework: A structured approach to identifying, containing, and remediating cyber threats.
• Regular Security Audits: Ensuring compliance with ISO 27000, NIS2, and maritime cybersecurity regulations.
Governance
Hafnia’s cybersecurity governance structure ensures clear accountability and oversight at the highest levels of the organization.
The Chief Information Officer (CIO), who is ISO 27000 certified, is responsible for overseeing cybersecurity risk management and reports directly to senior leadership and the
Board of Directors. Our CIO has more than 25 years of designing, implementing and managing enterprise grade IT infrastructures and has worked with multiple international companies
on designing secure and complex infrastructures. In his work experience, our CIO has designed, developed and advised on cybersecurity and cybersecurity strategies.
Key governance measures include:
• Quarterly Cybersecurity Reporting: The CIO provides quarterly cybersecurity updates to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
• Executive Oversight: The management team reviews cybersecurity risks regularly to ensure alignment with business strategy.
• Continuous Risk Monitoring: The IT team conducts ongoing assessments of cyber threats and presents findings to senior leadership.
Cybersecurity Testing and Awareness
To enhance cyber resilience, Hafnia has implemented a proactive cybersecurity testing and awareness program, which includes:
• Quarterly automated penetration testing to simulate attacks and identify security vulnerabilities.
• Ongoing cybersecurity awareness training using third-party platform that automatically delivers personalized, gamified training to enhance employee security awareness and
phishing detection skills.
• Regular security drills and audits to validate our security posture and ensure compliance with regulatory frameworks.
Cybersecurity Threats and Incident Disclosure
For the year ended December 31, 2024, through the date of this report, to our knowledge we have not experienced any material cybersecurity incidents. Despite this, we acknowledge the
evolving nature of cybersecurity threats, including ransomware attacks, phishing, data breaches, and supply chain vulnerabilities.
Hafnia remains committed to enhancing cybersecurity resilience through continuous investments in security technologies, monitoring, and training. While no system is entirely immune
to cyber threats, our structured approach to cybersecurity ensures that we are well-prepared to mitigate and respond to potential risks.

Significant non-cash transactions
On 2 January 2024, the Company settled borrowed shares from BW Group, amounting to US$23.4 million, through the issuance of 3,431,577 new ordinary shares.
On 27 January 2022, the Group acquired 32 vessels from Oaktree through acquiring the vessel owning companies Chemical Tankers Inc and its subsidiaries (“CTI”) by way of issuance of
new shares of the Company together with the Company’s existing treasury shares. The fair value of the net assets of CTI acquired amounted to US$221.1 million. Refer to Note 3.
In the financial year ended 2022, two of the Chemical-Stainless vessels, Hafnia Spark and Hafnia Stellar, were deemed to be sold (refer to Note 9) even though physical title over the
vessels has not been transferred; as the Group has assessed that control over the vessels has been transferred to the buyers. These vessels were financed by sale-and-leaseback
arrangements and the liabilities remained on the Group’s balance sheet along with a corresponding receivable from the buyer that will be used to repay the liabilities. In the financial year
ended 2023, physical title was transferred to the buyer and the liabilities were extinguished against the receivables in the Group’s balance sheet. This is a non-cash transaction as the
buyer paid the funds to extinguish the liabilities directly to the leasing house.

2.2 Changes in material accounting policies (continued)
Accounting standards issued and not yet effective
A number of new standards, interpretations, and amendments to standards will become effective for the first time in annual periods beginning after 1 January 2024, and early
adoption is permitted. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Group has not early adopted any new or amended standards or interpretations.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, applies for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1
January 2027. The new standard introduces the following key new requirements:
- Entities are requried to classify all income and expensed into five categories in the statement of profit or loss, namely the operating, investing, financing, discontinued
operations and income tax categories. Entities are also required to present a newly defined operating profit subtotal.
- Management defined performance measures (MPMs) are disclosed in a single note in the financial statements.
- Enhanced guidance is provided on how to group information in the financial statements.
In addition, all entities are required to use the operating profit subtotal as the starting point for the statement of cash flows when presenting operating cash flows under the
indirect method.
The Group intends to adopt these new and amended standards and interpretations, when they become effective. At the date of authorization of the consolidated financial
statements, the Group continues to assess and evaluate the impact to its financials on the initial adoption of these new accounting standards and interpretations and its related
applicable period.

2. Material accounting policies (continued)

2.3 Critical accounting judgements and estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting
policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions discussed below.
Certain amounts included in or affecting the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures are estimated, requiring the Group to make assumptions with respect to
values or conditions which cannot be known with certainty at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. A critical accounting estimate or assumption is one
which is both important to the portrayal of the Group’s financial condition and results and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgements, often as a
result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management evaluates such estimates on an ongoing basis, using historical
results and experience, consideration of relevant trends, consultation with experts and other methods considered reasonable in the particular circumstances.
(a) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (Note 2.3(b)), that management has made in the process of applying the Group’s
accounting policies and which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Accounting for pool arrangements
The Group is involved in three types of commercial pool arrangements: 1) pool arrangements that are managed by the Group under the “agent-to-owner” model, and 2)
pool arrangements that are managed by the Group under the “disponent-owner” model (“Disponent-Owner Pools”) and 3) pool arrangements operated by third parties in
which the Group’s owned vessels are placed.
For pool arrangements that are managed by the Group, Hafnia operates as a pool manager for ten (2023: nine, 2022: five) commercial pools:
(1) Long Range I (“LR1”) Pool
(2) Panamax Pool
(3) Long Range II (“LR2”) Pool
(4) Medium range (“MR”) Pool
(5) Handy size (“Handy”) Pool
(6) Chemical handy size (“Chemical-Handy”) Pool
(7) Chemical medium range (“Chemical-MR”) Pool
(8) Small, Intermediate and City tankers (“Specialised”) Pools

Table of Contents

2. Material accounting policies (continued)

The Panamax Pool commenced operations only during the financial year ended 31 December 2024.
The pools are managed by Hafnia through its pool management companies that are wholly owned subsidiaries, as the pool manager. There are separate pool agreements
entered into between the pool manager and the relevant pool participants. The pool manager negotiates charters with customers primarily in the spot market, however it
may also arrange short duration time charters.
The objective of the commercial pool set up is to facilitate the commercial operation, employment, and marketing of the pool’s vessels. This is achieved via the optimal
utilisation of the pool vessels due to improved scheduling to reduce ballast legs and bulk purchase of goods and services for voyage expenses, thus creating economies
of scale, improved flexibility, efficiency and price competitiveness. Shipowners contribute their vessels to the pool and the pool is managed by the pool manager under
the authority of the Pool Board.
For pool arrangements under the “agent-to-owner” model, management has performed a key assessment to determine who is the principal and agent in these pool
arrangements. Indicators that the Group, as the pool manager, is an agent in a pool arrangement are:
• Based on the pool agreements under the “agent-to-owner” model, the decisions over the relevant activities of the pool that are determined to significantly
affect the pool’s returns are made by the respective Pool Boards, which are represented by pool participants;
• Although the pool manager makes decisions over the day-to-day operations of the pool, the pool manager only acts within the pre-defined mandates and
authority limits set by the Pool Board, for which the pool board’s approving rights are substantive;
• The decisions of the pool manager are not for the relevant activities of the pool and the pool manager has limited discretion over pricing as the prices are
highly dependent on the market published price for charter contracts;
• The pool manager is only given authority to decide on the prices with the objective of efficient pool management; and
• The Pool Board’s decisions have practical ability to prevent the pool manager from directing the pool’s relevant activities and exercising power on its own
behalf.
The Group has evaluated that it has limited control as the pool manager and is hence an agent in the respective commercial pool arrangements. In such arrangements, the
Group as the pool manager does not consolidate the pools. Instead, the Group only recognises the pool management fees as other operating income. On the balance
sheet, the Group recognises the pool’s assets and liabilities over which the Group, as pool manager, has legal rights and obligations respectively. This includes all cash
balances of the pool as the pool bank accounts are opened in the name of the pool manager; and trade payables (other than those relating to fuel oil) for which contracts
are entered into in the name of the pool manager.
As the shipowner that places its own vessels in the pools, the Group recognises the gross revenue and voyage expenses earned pertaining to its vessels placed in the
pools; and adjustments due to pool allocations recognised separately as “pool allocation”. These adjustments relate to revenue from voyage charters less voyage
expenses comprising primarily brokers’ commission, fuel oil and port charges. On the balance sheet, the Group recognises the assets and liabilities over which the Group,
as shipowners, has legal rights and obligations respectively. This includes the trade receivables from end charterers for which the contracts are entered into in its own
name as shipowners; and fuel oil as inventory and its corresponding payables, as the pool manager purchases fuel oil as an agent on behalf of shipowners based on the
contractual terms of the pool agreements under the “agent-to-owner” model and the shipowner having the primary responsibility for the fuel oil obligations.

2. Material accounting policies (continued)

During the financial year ended 31 December 2023, the Group changed the Handy Pool, MR Pool, LR1 Pool and LR2 Pool from the “agent-to-owner” model to the
“disponent-owner” model, with the agreement of all pool participants in the respective pool arrangements, as management and the pool participants believe that it would
lead to an improvement in operating efficiency and access to working capital facilities.
For pool arrangements under the “disponent-owner” model (“Disponent-Owner Pools”), the key changes in the pool agreements from the “agent-to-owner” model are:
• Establishing a time-charter arrangement for the vessels in the Disponent-Owner Pools between the pool participants and the pool manager;
• The pool manager, as the “disponent-owner” of the vessels, has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the vessels in
the Disponent-Owner Pools, as the pool manager is the contractual and legal entity who charters in vessels from the pool participants and subsequently
charters out the vessels to the external charterers under its own name as the “disponent-owner”;
• The pool manager, as the “disponent-owner” of the vessels, also has the right to direct the use of the vessels in the Disponent-Owner Pools, including
having the right to direct how and for what purpose the vessels will be used.
The Group has evaluated that the time-charter arrangement constitutes a lease under IFRS 16 – Leases to the pool manager of the Disponent-Owner Pools. Management
has assessed that the rights conferred from the pool agreements under the “disponent-owner” model provided the pool manager with the control of a right to a service to
be performed using the vessels in the Disponent-Owner Pools for which it has control over, for the end charterers. Hence, management has assessed that this allows the
pool manager to recognise the revenue as a principal in line with IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
In such arrangements, the Group as the pool manager recognises the gross revenue and voyage expenses earned pertaining to the vessels placed by the Group in the
Disponent-Owner Pools as “Revenue (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels)” and “Voyage expenses (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels)” respectively, and adjustments due to
pool allocations recognised separately as “pool allocation”; the gross revenue and voyage expenses earned pertaining to the external vessels placed by pool participants
other than the Group as “Revenue (External Vessels in Disponent-Owner Pools)” and “Voyage expenses (External Vessels in Disponent-Owner Pools)” respectively; and
expenses relating to pool distributions to external pool participants other than the Group separately as “Pool distributions for External Vessels in Disponent-Owner
Pools”.
On the balance sheet, the Group recognises the pool’s assets and liabilities over which the Group, as pool manager, has legal rights and obligations respectively. This
includes all cash balances of the pool as the pool bank accounts are opened in the name of the pool manager; all trade receivables from end charterers for which
contracts are entered into in the name of the pool manager as the “disponent-owner”; the trade payables for which contracts are entered into in the name of the pool
manager; and fuel oil as inventory and its corresponding payables, as the pool manager purchases fuel oil as the “disponent owner” of the vessels based on the
contractual terms of the Pool Agreements under the “disponent-owner” model.
For pool arrangements operated by third parties in which the Group’s owned vessels are placed, management has performed an assessment to determine if the Group as a
pool participant has control over the pools in such arrangements. Indicators that the Group, as a pool participant, does not have control in the pool arrangements are:
• Based on the pool agreements for these pool arrangements operated by the third-party pool managers, the decisions over the relevant activities of the pool
that are determined to significantly affect the pool’s returns are made by the commercial pool managers. The pool managers of the respective pool
arrangements hold the power to make all significant economic decisions that affect the pools;

2. Material accounting policies (continued)

• The Pool Board’s power is limited to approval of total costs for each vessel in the respective pools, and approval of any additional working capital financing
arrangements required from pool participants;
• The Pool Boards for these pool arrangements do not have the ability to prevent the pool manager from directing the pool’s relevant activities and exercising
power on its own behalf;
• The Group, as a pool participant in these pool arrangements, does not hold a majority of either the Pool Board of these pool arrangements or composition of
the respective pools.
The Group has evaluated that it does not have control over the pools in the pool arrangements operated by third parties as a pool participant, and is hence not the
principal of these pool arrangements. The Group recognises revenue from these pool arrangements as income based on its portion of the pool income reported by the
relevant pool, which represents the net voyage revenue of the vessel after adjusting for pool earnings points, pool management fees and deducting voyage expenses.
For the financial year ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the Group no longer places its owned vessels in pool arrangements operated by third parties.
Identification of cash-generating units
The Group organizes the commercial management of the fleet of vessels into ten (2023: nine, 2022: five) individual commercial pools. For the financial years ended 31
December 2024, 2023 and 2022, there are no Hafnia Vessels or TC Vessels in the Specialised Pools. The Group has assessed that each individual commercial pool
constitutes a separate cash-generating unit (“CGU”). This is due to 1) the vessels in each individual pool generating cashflows that are largely interdependent with each
other, as the pool arrangements create operational dependencies between vessels in each segment as the pool manager has the right and ability to direct and deploy all
the vessels to gain efficiencies for the entire fleet of vessels in the pool; 2) the decisions of the pool manager are made solely for the benefit of the entire commercial pool
and not for individual vessels; and 3) each individual pool is managed on a portfolio basis to optimise performance and for internal and external management reporting.
Time-chartered in vessels which are recognised as ROU assets by the Group and subsequently deployed in the commercial pools are included as part of the respective
commercial pool CGUs based on the above assessment. For vessels outside the commercial pools and deployed on a time-charter basis, each of these vessels constitutes
a separate CGU.
(b) Critical accounting estimates
The key assumptions concerning the future and other critical accounting estimates at the end of the balance sheet date that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are disclosed below.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any objective evidence or indication that these assets may be impaired.
The recoverable amount of an asset, and where applicable, a cash-generating unit (“CGU”), is determined based on the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-
use calculations prepared on the basis of management’s assumptions and estimates.
All impairment calculations demand a high degree of estimation, which include assessments of the expected cash flows arising from such assets under various modes of
deployment, and the selection of discount rates. Changes to these estimates may significantly impact the impairment charges recognised, and future changes may lead to
reversals of any previously recognised impairment charges. The Group views that the forecast of future freight rates, representing the main driver of recoverable amounts
of the Group’s vessels to be inherently difficult to estimate. This is further complicated by the volatility in oil prices caused by geopolitics and macroeconomic forces,
together with the cyclical nature of freight rates prevailing in the tankers market.

2. Material accounting policies (continued)

Changes to these brokers’ estimates may significantly impact the impairment charges recognised and future changes may lead to reversals of any previously recognised
impairment charges.
Vessel life and residual value
The Group depreciates the vessels on a straight-line basis after deduction of residual values over the ship’s estimated useful life of 25 years, from the date the ship was
originally delivered from the shipyard. Dry docking costs are generally depreciated over 2.5 to 5 years depending on the age and serviceability of the vessels. Residual
value is estimated as the lightweight tonnage of each vessel multiplied by the scrap value less costs of scrapping. The residual values of the vessels are reassessed by
management at the end of each balance sheet date based on the prevailing steel prices.
The useful life and residual value are critical accounting estimates as they directly impact the amount of depreciation expense to be presented in the financial statements.
Due to the size of the Group’s fleet of owned vessels, the impact could be material depending on the estimates adopted by Management.


2.4 Revenue and income recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of consideration received or receivable for the rendering of services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities, net of rebates, discounts
and off-hire charges, and after eliminating sales within the Group.
(a) Revenue
The Group’s source of revenue is vessel revenue, comprising of time charter hire, voyage charter hire and demurrage revenue. Revenue is recognized when or as
performance obligations are satisfied by transferring services to the customer, i.e. over time, provided that the stage of completion can be measured reliably. Revenue is
measured as the consideration that the Group expects to be entitled to. Vessel revenue (including time charter hire, voyage charter hire and demurrage revenue) are
recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income according to the entered charter parties from the date of load to the date of delivery of the cargo
(discharge). The recognition is determined using the load-to-discharge method based on the percentage of the estimated duration of the voyage completed at the balance
sheet date because the customer receives the benefit during the voyage as it is provided.
Time charter hire - The Group earns time charter revenue as a lessor by placing its vessels on time charter arrangements with end charterers. Revenue generated from
time charter hire is accounted for as revenue earned under operating leases and is therefore within the scope of IFRS 16 – Leases, as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board. We have determined that our existing time charter arrangements meet the definition of leases under IFRS 16, with the Group as lessor, on
the basis that the charterer manages the vessels in order to enter into transportation contracts with their customers, and thereby enjoys the economic benefits derived
from such arrangements.
Furthermore, the charterer can direct the use of a vessel (subject to certain limitations in the charter arrangement) throughout the period of use.

Table of Contents

2. Material accounting policies (continued)
Moreover, under IFRS 16, we are also required to identify the lease and non-lease components of revenue and account for each component in accordance with the
applicable accounting standard. In the time charter arrangements, we have determined that the lease component is the vessel, and the non-lease component is the
technical management services provided to operate the vessel. These components are accounted for as follows:
• All fixed lease revenue earned under these time charter arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
• The non-lease component is accounted for as services revenue under IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This revenue is recognized “over
time” as the customer (i.e. the charterer) is simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits of the service. 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.
Voyage charter hire - The Group earns voyage charter revenue primarily by commercially managing vessels in commercial pool arrangements and by trading them in the
spot market. Revenue generated from voyage charter hires and pools is within the scope of IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board.

Table of Contents


2. Material accounting policies (continued)






Demurrage revenue – Voyage charter contracts contain conditions regarding the amount of time available for loading and discharging of the vessel. If these conditions
are breached, the Group is compensated for the additional time incurred in the form of demurrage revenue. Demurrage revenue is recognized in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the charter parties. Upon completion of the voyage, the Group assesses the time spent in port, and a demurrage claim based on the relevant contractual
conditions is submitted to the charterers. The claim will often be met by counterclaims due to differences in the interpretation of the agreement compared to the
actual circumstances of the additional time used. Based on previous experience, 95% of the demurrage claim submitted is recognized as demurrage revenue upon initial
recognition. Demurrage is not treated as a separate performance obligation as the promise under the voyage charter contract to the charterer remains the same and there
are no distinct goods and services provided along with the demurrage charges. The additional time required to execute the charterer’s orders does not provide a distinct
service but it is part of the single performance obligation of making the vessel available to execute the charterer’s orders. Therefore, demurrage revenue will be allocated
entirely to the single performance obligation in the voyage charter contract and recognition will follow the revenue recognition pattern for voyage charter revenue on
load-to-discharge basis.
The Group receives the demurrage payment upon reaching final agreement on the amount, which can be a substantial period after the original demurrage claim was
submitted. Any adjustments to the final agreement are recognized as demurrage revenue.
Revenue from chemical tankers freight voyage charter is recognised under the load to discharge method on individual contract basis.
(b) Pool management fees
The Group in its capacity as the pool manager, recognises commission income from external pool participants earned from pool arrangements managed by the Group
under the “disponent-owner” and “agent-to-owner” models. They are recognised as other income over time based on the period of the services provided.
(c) Non-pool related management fees
Other income from the provision of management and commercial support services is recognised over time based on the period of services provided.


(d) Interest income
Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.






2.5 Group accounting
(a) Subsidiaries
(1) Consolidation
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its
involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which
control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Table of Contents

2. Material accounting policies (continued)



In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated but are considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been aligned
where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.




(2) Acquisitions
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.
The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary or business comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the
equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of
any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-
measured to fair value at the acquisition date, and any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair
values at the acquisition date.
On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the date of acquisition either at fair value or at the
non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets.
The excess of (i) the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous
equity interest in the acquiree over the (ii) fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired, is recorded as goodwill.
The excess of (i) fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired over the (ii) consideration transferred; the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree;
and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree; is recorded in profit or loss during the period when it occurs.
The Group has an option to apply a “concentration test” that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business.
The optional concentration test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of
similar identifiable assets.
In case the Group acquires an asset or a group of assets (including any liabilities assumed) that does not constitute a business, then the transaction is outside the
scope of IFRS 3 because it cannot meet the definition of a business combination. Such transactions are accounted for as asset acquisitions in which the cost of
acquisition is generally allocated between the individual identifiable assets and liabilities in the Group based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition.
Transactions for assets acquisition do not give rise to goodwill or a gain on a bargain purchase.



(3) Disposals
When a change in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary results in a loss of control over the subsidiary, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary
including any goodwill are derecognised. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are also reclassified to profit or
loss or transferred directly to retained earnings if required by a specific standard.
Any retained interest in the entity is re-measured at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the retained interest at the date when control is lost
and its fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

2. Material accounting policies (continued)


(b) Joint ventures
Joint ventures are entities over which the Group has joint control as a result of contractual arrangements and rights to the net assets of the entities.
Investments in joint ventures are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting (net of accumulated impairment losses).
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for new and incremental acquisitions in joint ventures. Investments in joint ventures are initially recognised at
cost. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus
costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Goodwill on joint ventures represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of the joint ventures over the Group’s share of
the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the joint ventures and is included in the carrying amount of the investments.
Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the investee’s identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment is recognised in profit or loss
during the period when it occurs.
In applying the equity method of accounting, the Group’s share of its joint ventures’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss and its share of
post-acquisition other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. These post-acquisition movements and distributions received from joint
ventures are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investments. When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the associated
company or joint venture including any other unsecured non-current receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or has
made payments on behalf of the joint venture.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint ventures. Unrealised losses are
also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of
joint ventures to ensure consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group.
Investments in joint ventures are derecognised when the Group loses significant influence or joint control. Any retained interest in the equity is remeasured at its fair
value. The difference between the carrying amount of the retained investment at the date when joint control is lost and its fair value is recognised in profit or loss.
Gains and losses arising from partial disposals or dilutions in investments in joint ventures in which joint control is retained are recognised in profit or loss.


2.6 Property, plant and equipment
(a) Measurement
(1) Property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
(2) The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment initially recognised includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item.
Dismantlement, removal or restoration costs are included as part of the cost of property, plant and equipment if the obligation for dismantlement, removal or
restoration is incurred as a consequence of acquiring the asset.
(3) The acquisition cost capitalised to a vessel under construction is the sum of the instalments paid plus other directly attributable costs incurred during the
construction period including borrowing costs. Vessels under construction are not depreciated and reclassified as vessels until upon delivery from the yard.
(4) If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate components of property, plant and
equipment.

2. Material accounting policies (continued)





(b) Depreciation
(1) Depreciation is calculated using a straight-line method to allocate the depreciable amounts of property, plant and equipment, after taking into account the residual
values, over their estimated useful lives. The residual values, estimated useful lives and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and
adjusted as appropriate, at least annually. The effects of any revision are recognised in profit or loss when the changes arise. The estimated useful lives are as
follows:
Vessels
- Tankers 25 years
- Scrubbers 5 years
- Dry docking 2.5 to 5 years
Others
- Other PPE 5 years
A proportion of the price paid for new vessels is capitalised as dry docking. These costs are depreciated over the period to the next scheduled dry docking, which
is generally 2.5 to 5 years. At the commencement of new dry docking, the remaining carrying amount of the previous dry docking will be written off to profit or
loss.
(2) Significant components of individual assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, that component is
depreciated separately. The remaining carrying amount of the old component as a result of a replacement will be written off to profit or loss.


(c) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment, including scrubbers and dry docking that has already been recognised, is added to the carrying
amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. All other repair and maintenance expense is recognised in profit or loss when incurred.

On disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.
(d) Disposal


2.7 Intangible assets
The amortisation period and amortisation method of intangible assets other than goodwill are reviewed at least at each balance sheet date. The effects of any revision are
recognised in profit or loss when the changes arise.
IT infrastructure and customer contracts
IT infrastructure and customer contracts acquired through business combinations are initially recognised at fair value. These intangibles are subsequently carried at amortised
cost less accumulated impairment losses using the straight-line method over their individual estimated useful lives of 5 years.

2. Material accounting policies (continued)
Carbon credits
The Group recognises carbon credits that it procures as intangible assets. Carbon credits are initially measured at cost, which is determined based on the cost of carbon credits
purchased at that date. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the carbon credits are measured at cost less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses. No amortisation
expense is recognised as the condition of the carbon credits does not change over time and the residual value is the same as its cost. Therefore, the carbon credits have no
depreciable value.






2.8 Non-derivative financial assets
(a) Recognition and initial measurement
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. Other financial assets are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instrument.
Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), which are recognised at
fair value. Transaction costs for financial assets at FVTPL are recognised immediately as expenses.


(b) Classification
The Group classifies its non-derivative financial assets at amortised cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and at FVTPL. The classification
depends on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flows characteristics. Management determines the classification of its non-
derivative financial assets at initial recognition. Non-derivative financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its
business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected non-derivative financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period
following the change in the business model. The Group holds the following classes of financial assets:
(1) Non-derivative financial assets at amortised cost
A non-derivative financial asset is classified as measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- it is held within a business model whose objective 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.
They are classified as current assets, except for those expected to be realised later than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current
assets. They are presented as “trade and other receivables, and prepayments” (Note 16), “loans receivable from joint ventures” (Note 13) and “cash at bank and
on hand, cash retained in the commercial pools and restricted cash” (Note 17) in the consolidated balance sheet.

(2) Equity investments at FVOCI
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held-for-trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair
value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

Table of Contents

2. Material accounting policies (continued)







The Group has presented its equity investments as non-current assets on the balance sheet which will be reclassified to current assets in the event management
intends to dispose the assets within 12 months after the balance sheet date. All the equity investments have been irrevocably elected to be classified as FVOCI
and are presented as other investments. Further details are described in Note 11.

(c) Business model assessment
The Group makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is
managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:
- the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether management’s strategy focuses on earning
contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or
expected cash outflows or realising cash flows through the sale of the assets;
- the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice;
- how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group’s management;
- the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;
- how managers of the business are compensated – e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows
collected; and
- the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales activity.
Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for this purpose, consistent with the Group’s
continuing recognition of the assets.
(d) Subsequent measurement
Financial assets at FVTPL and FVOCI are subsequently carried at fair value. Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the
effective interest method.
Changes in the fair values of financial assets at FVTPL including the effects of currency translation are recognised in profit or loss while changes in the fair values of
financial assets at FVOCI are recognised in other comprehensive income.

(e) Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual
cashflows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither retains
substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

(f) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet, when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised
amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

2. Material accounting policies (continued)


(g) Impairment
For financial assets measured at amortised cost and contract assets, the Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial
asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and recognises an allowance for expected credit loss (ECL) at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit loss if there
has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group recognises an
allowance for ECL at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.
Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that results from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the balance sheet date (or a shorter period if the
expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applied the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires the loss allowance to be measured at an amount
equal to lifetime ECLs.
The Group applies the general approach to provide for ECLs on all other financial instruments. Under the general approach, the loss allowance is measured at an amount
equal to 12-month ECLs at initial recognition.
At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. When credit risk has
increased significantly since initial recognition, loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are probability-weighted estimates of credit losses. Credit losses are measured at the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows
due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial
asset.
Credit-impaired financial assets
At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or
more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
- significant financial difficulty of the debtor;
- a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 90 days past due;
- the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise;
- it is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
- the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

Presentation of allowance for ECLs in the balance sheet
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost and contract assets are deducted from the gross carrying amount of these assets.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers
reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and
analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience, informed credit assessment and other forward-looking information.
The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if the debtor is under significant financial difficulties, or when there is default or
significant delay in payments. The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without
recourse by the Group to actions such as realising security (if any is held).
When the asset becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognised against
the same line item in profit or loss.
The allowance for impairment loss account is reduced through profit or loss in a subsequent period when the amount of ECL decreases and the related decrease can be
objectively measured. The carrying amount of the asset previously impaired is increased to the extent that the new carrying amount does not exceed the amortised cost
had no impairment been recognised in prior periods.

2.9 Non-derivative financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities, primarily comprising borrowings (refer to 2.11), trade payables and other payables (refer to 2.13) are initially measured at fair value less
directly attributable transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost under the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and
losses are recognised in profit or loss.
The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expired. The Group also derecognises 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 recognised at fair
value.
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 recognised in profit or loss.

2. Material accounting policies (continued)

2.10 Impairment of non-financial assets
Property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment whenever there is objective evidence or indication that these assets may be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely
independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of the asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount.
The impairment is then allocated to each single vessel on a pro-rata basis, based on the carrying amount of each vessel in the CGU with the limit of the higher of fair value less
cost of disposal and value in use. The difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss.
An impairment loss for an asset (or CGU) other than goodwill is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimate of the asset’s (or CGU’s) recoverable amount
since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation and depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or
CGU) in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset (or CGU) other than goodwill is recognised in profit or loss.
The Group conducts an impairment review of its non-financial assets annually.



2.11 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds
(net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are presented as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date, in which case
they are presented as non-current liabilities.
The Group derecognises a borrowing when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expired. The Group also derecognises a borrowing 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 recognised at fair value.
On derecognition of a borrowing, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities
assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.
2.12 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

2. Material accounting policies (continued)
2.13 Trade and other payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired from suppliers in the ordinary course of business including pool distributions payable to
third party pool participants. Trade and other payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current
liabilities.
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, and are derecognised when the
Group’s obligation has been discharged or cancelled or expired.



2.14 Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
A derivative financial instrument is initially recognised at its fair value on the date the contract is entered into and is subsequently carried at its fair value. The fair value of
derivative financial instruments represents the amount estimated by management with input from the Group’s banks or brokers that the Group will receive or pay to terminate the
derivatives at the balance sheet date.
For derivative financial instruments that are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting, any fair value gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss as a finance
item or under time charter equivalent (“TCE”).
The Group designates certain financial instruments in qualifying hedging relationships and documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between the hedging
instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedging transactions.
The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on a periodic basis, of whether the derivatives designated as hedging instruments are highly effective
in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged items prospectively.
The Group enters into hedge relationships where the critical terms of the hedging instrument match exactly with the terms of the hedged item and no hedge ineffectiveness is
deemed to exist. In circumstances when the terms of the hedged item do not match exactly the critical terms of the hedging instrument, the Group uses the hypothetical
derivative method to assess effectiveness of hedging relationship.

2. Material accounting policies (continued)


Cash flow hedges – Interest rate derivatives
The Group has entered into interest rate swaps that are cash flow hedges for the Group’s exposure to interest rate risk on its borrowings. These contracts entitle the Group to
receive interest at floating rates on notional principal amounts and oblige the Group to pay interest at fixed rates on the same notional principal amounts, thus enabling the
Group to raise borrowings at floating rates and swap them into fixed rates. For the purpose of hedge accounting, management may designate a portion of, or the full nominal
value of loans to be hedged by the total notional value of the interest rate swaps available; for portfolio hedging or for one-to-one hedging. There is no imbalance that would
create ineffectiveness and cause the relationship to be inconsistent with the purpose of hedge accounting.
The fair value changes on the effective portion of interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recognised in other comprehensive income, accumulated in the
hedging reserve and reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged interest expense on the borrowings is recognised in profit or loss. The fair value changes on the ineffective
portion of these interest rate derivatives are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Since the financial year ended 31 December 2023, the Group has fully transitioned its interest rate swaps from LIBOR to SOFR.


2.15 Freight forward agreements and foreign exchange contracts
The Group has entered into freight forward agreements (“FFA”) and foreign exchange contracts to manage its exposure to freight rates and foreign exchange risk respectively.
The Group does not apply hedge accounting for the derivatives mentioned above and therefore all changes in fair values of forward freight agreements and foreign exchange
contracts used as economic hedges are recognised in profit or loss under TCE income and other finance expense or income respectively.
Further details of the Group’s other derivative financial instruments that are not hedge accounted for are disclosed in Note 12.

2.16 Fair value estimation of financial assets and liabilities
The fair values of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as exchange-traded and over-the-counter securities and derivatives) are based on quoted market prices at
the balance sheet date. The quoted market prices used for financial assets are the current bid prices and the quoted market prices for financial liabilities are the current asking
prices.
The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined by using valuation techniques such as market approach. The Group uses a variety
of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. Where appropriate, quoted market prices or dealer quotes for
similar instruments are used.
The fair value of forward freight derivatives are determined using quoted market prices for similar contracts on an exchange.
The fair value of interest rate derivatives is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at actively quoted interest rates. The fair value of
forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates at the balance sheet date.
The carrying amounts of current financial assets and liabilities, measured at amortised cost, approximate their fair values, due to the short term nature of the balances. The
carrying amounts of the non-current loans receivable approximate their fair values since the interest rates are repriceable at three-month intervals. The fair values of financial
liabilities carried at amortised cost are estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at current market interest rates, determined as those that are available to the
Group at balance sheet date for similar financial instruments.

2.17 Leases
(a) When a group company is the lessee
At inception of a contract, the Group 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. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the
Group uses the definition of a lease in IFRS 16.
For leases of vessels, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each non-lease component on the basis of its stand-alone price. The lease component is
then allocated based on the residual amount of the lease consideration.
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the
initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of
costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated using a straight-line
method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term
or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that case, the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of
the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment.
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 applicable incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rates as the
discount rates. The Group determines the incremental borrowing rates by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
- fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
- variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
- amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;
- exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise;
- lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option; and
- payment of penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain that it will not terminate early.
The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:
- there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate;
- there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or
- there is a change in the Group’s assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

Table of Contents

2. Material accounting policies (continued)
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 recognised in profit or loss if
the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
The Group presents right-of-use assets as a part of total property, plant and equipment and lease liabilities in ‘borrowings’ in the consolidated balance sheet.
Short-term and low value leases
The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with lease terms that are less than 12 months and other low-value assets. Lease
payments associated with these leases are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(b) When a group company is the lessor
The Group determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. The Group currently only has operating leases for which it is the
lessor.
Operating leases
Leases of assets in which the Group retains substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership are classified as operating leases. Assets leased out under
operating leases are included in property, plant and equipment. Rental income (net of any incentives given to lessee) is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
(c) Sale and leaseback
A sale and leaseback transaction is where the Group transfers an asset to another entity (the buyer-lessor) and leases that asset back from the buyer-lessor.
Where the buyer-lessor obtains control of the transferred asset, the Group measures the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous
carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right-of-use retained by the Group.
Where the buyer-lessor does not obtain control of the transferred asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset and recognises a financial liability equal
to the transfer proceeds. The financial liability is recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. The financial liability is subsequently stated at
amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the financial
liability using the effective interest method.

2. Material accounting policies (continued)
2.18 Inventories
Inventories comprise mainly fuel and lubricating oils which are used for operation of vessels.
The cost of inventories includes purchase costs, as well as any other costs incurred in bringing inventory on board the vessel. Inventories are accounted for on a first-in, first-
out basis, and stated at lower of cost and net realisable value. Consumption of inventories is recognised as an expense in profit or loss when the usage occurs.


2.19 Income taxes
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred taxes. Tax is recognised as income or expense in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items
recognised in other comprehensive income in which case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Group operates
and generates taxable income. Positions taken in tax returns are evaluated periodically, with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation,
and provisions are established where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. In relation to accounting for tax uncertainties, where it is
more likely than not that the final tax outcome would be favourable to the Group, no tax provision is recognised until payment to the tax authorities is required, and upon which
a tax asset, measured at the expected recoverable amount, is recognised.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in
the consolidated financial statements. However, if the deferred income tax arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination
that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, it is not accounted for. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income
tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising on income earned from investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary
difference can be controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred
income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to
settle the balances on a net basis.


2.20 Employee benefits
Employee benefits are recognised as an expense, unless the cost qualifies to be classified as asset.

2. Material accounting policies (continued)
Employee leave entitlement
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. An accrual is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of
services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.


2.21 Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates
(the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial
information presented in US dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.
(b) Transactions and balances
Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (“foreign currency”) are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the
date of the transactions. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions, and from the translation of monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates at the balance sheet date, are recognised in profit or loss.




2.22 Cash and cash equivalents, Cash retained in the commercial pools, and Restricted cash
For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits held at call with financial
institutions, which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value, and cash retained in the commercial pools. The restricted cash represents amounts placed in FFA
collateral accounts and debt service reserve accounts for sale and leaseback financing.



2.23 Share capital and treasury shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new equity instruments are taken to equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the
proceeds.
When any entity within the Group purchases the Company’s ordinary shares (“treasury shares”), the carrying amount which includes the consideration paid and any directly
attributable transaction cost is presented as a component within equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders, until they are cancelled, sold, or reissued.
When treasury shares are subsequently sold or reissued pursuant to an employee share option scheme, the cost of treasury shares is reversed from the treasury share account
and the realised gain or loss on sale or reissue, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs, is recognised in the capital reserve.

2.24 Dividends
Interim dividends are recognised in the financial year in which they are declared payable and final dividends are recognised when the dividends are approved for payment by
the directors and shareholders respectively.

2. Material accounting policies (continued)
2.25 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation whereby as a result of past events, it is more likely than not that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the settlement amount can be made. When the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, the
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

2.26 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with reporting provided to the Group’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is the Group’s chief operating decision
maker (“CODM”). The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments; namely LR1, LR2, MR (including IMO II MR) and
Handy (including IMO II Handy) for the financial year ended 31 December 2024.

2.27 Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary
shareholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted earnings per
share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for own shares held
and the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options and restricted share units granted to employees.


3. Acquisition of assets
On 27 January 2022, the Group completed the acquisition of 32 vessels from Chemical Tankers Inc and its subsidiaries (“CTI”), in exchange for the Company’s equity
instruments (“Acquisition of CTI fleet”). The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition that did not constitute a business and which was satisfied by way of
issuance of new shares of the Company together with the Company’s existing treasury shares.
In exchange for all outstanding shares in CTI, CTI’s shareholders received a total of 99,199,394 common shares in the Company, consisting of 92,112,691 newly issued shares
and 7,086,703 of treasury shares. Since the consideration for the acquisition was satisfied by way of issuance of the Company’s equity instruments, the accounting of the fair
value of the consideration settled follows the guidance of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. At the acquisition date, ordinary shares and the existing treasury shares of the
Company were issued to CTI’s shareholders, and the fair value of issued shares was deemed to be the fair value of the CTI’s net assets acquired.
The fair value of CTI’s net assets acquired was assessed at US$221.1 million. Equity settlement of the transaction resulted in an increase in share capital of US$0.9 million and
share premium of US$207.4 million, while reducing balance of treasury shares by US$12.8 million. The effects of CTI acquisition resulted in increases in the Group’s assets,
liabilities and equity by US$943.0 million, US$721.9 million and US$221.1 million respectively.

(c) Measurement of fair values
The fair value of acquired vessels was estimated based on an independent third-party valuation report close to the acquisition date, which made reference to comparable
transaction prices of similar vessels.
The carrying values of acquired borrowings approximate their fair values as the bank borrowings bear floating interest rates and were re-priceable at three-month intervals.
Other acquired items represent working capital items whose carrying values approximate fair values due to short period of maturity.

Total revenue 132,505 134,436 73,824
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
For vessels employed in the commercial pool arrangements and traded in the spot market, we recognize revenue ‘over time’ as the customer (i.e. the charterer) is simultaneously
receiving and consuming the benefits of the vessel. Under IFRS 15, the performance obligation has been identified as the transportation of cargo from one point to another.
Therefore, in a spot market voyage charter under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized on a pro-rata basis commencing on the date that the cargo is loaded and concluding on the
date of discharge. The Group also considers short-term time charters (with initial terms of less than one year) as spot market voyage charters. These voyages are accounted for
under IFRS 16 – Leases (given the contractual nature of the agreements) but are disclosed as spot market voyages in the table above given their short term nature, and greater
exposure to spot market volatility.
Payments for trade receivables generally are due immediately or within 7 days from the invoice date. Information about trade receivables from contracts with customers and
contract assets is presented in Note 16.

There is currently no income, withholding, capital gain or capital transfer taxes payable in Bermuda. Pursuant to the Group’s re-domiciliation exercise to Singapore in 2024, the
Group no longer maintains significant presence in Bermuda and is not expected to have income which would be taxable under the proposed Bermuda corporate income system
or Pillar 2 rules.
The majority of the Group’s international shipping income accrues in Singapore, where the Group exercises strategic and commercial control over its international shipping
activities. As such, the majority of the Group’s tax bases is subject to Singapore tax legislation. The Group enjoys the Maritime Sector Incentive – Singapore Registry of Ships
(“MSI-SRS”), and also has been awarded the Maritime Sector Incentive – Approved International Shipping Enterprise Award (“MSI-AIS”) by the Maritime and Port Authority
of Singapore. The MSI-SRS incentive generally applies to Singapore-flagged vessels and does not entail a separate application to the MPA. On the other hand, the MSI-AIS
(which is effective till 30 April 2028) is on an application basis, and subsequently renewable, subject to the Group satisfying all relevant qualifying conditions such as minimum
business spending in Singapore. The Group has satisfied such conditions to date and will expect to do so. Under the MSI-AIS Award, profits arising from qualifying
international shipping activities are tax exempt in Singapore.
Corporate income tax is levied as appropriate on the Group’s non-international shipping activities which mainly comprise of pool management activities conducted in Singapore
and Denmark.

The Group operates in several countries which have enacted new legislations to implement the global minimum top-up tax (Pillar 2 of BEPS 2.0) in 2024. The Group’s main
sources of revenue are from international shipping. Under Pillar 2, international shipping income is specifically exempted from minimum top-up taxes. The Group generates non-
shipping income mainly from its pool and bunker management activities. However, the Group is incurring effective tax rate of more than 15% in the jurisdictions with such
activities (e.g. Denmark). Hence, the Group does not have material Pillar 2 exposures for 2024 and will continue to monitor the potential impact of top-up taxes and the
legislations and tax rules worldwide as Pillar 2 develops.
The Group has applied the temporary mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for the impact of global minimum top-up tax and will account for it as a current tax when it is
incurred.

adjusted for own shares held, and the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options and restricted share units granted to employees.
The average market value of the Company’s shares for purposes of calculating the dilutive effect of share options was based on quoted market prices for the period during
which the options were outstanding.

9. Property, plant and equipment (continued)
(a) For the financial year ended 2023:
Acquisition:
i. The Group acquired two IMO II Handy, one IMO II MR and one LR1 vessel from external parties. The newly acquired IMO II Handy vessels were financed under
the US$303 million revolving credit facility, for which there were no drawdowns in the financial year ended 31 December 2023. The remaining vessels are
unencumbered.
Disposal:
i. The Group disposed of six LR1 vessels.
For the financial year ended 2024:
The Group’s LR1 vessel, Hafnia Nile, was involved in a collision with another vessel, resulting in extensive damage. As a result of the collision, the vessel was unable to resume
operations until the necessary salvage operations and repairs were completed. The Group has incurred salvage and repair costs as at the balance sheet date but has insurance
contracts under which it can make claims for compensation.
The Group will simultaneously record a compensation receivable from the insurer when salvage costs are initially recognised as a provision, as the Group has determined that a
reimbursement right exists. For repair costs, which were recognized as separate loss events when incurred, the Group will simultaneously record a compensation receivable from
the insurer as the Group has determined that it has a right to exert a claim for compensation for the loss events.
As at 31 December 2024, the Group has recognized US$16.2 million and US$13.7 million in insurance receivables in relation to salvage and repair costs respectively.
Disposal:
i. The Group disposed of one LR1 vessel and one MR vessel.
(b) As at 31 December 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Group assessed whether its vessels had indicators of impairment by reference to internal and external factors according to its
stated policy set out in Note 2.3(b).
The Group obtained valuation reports from independent ship brokers to assess whether the fair value of vessels, as per valuation reports exceeded their carrying values at the
balance sheet date. These valuations (which are considered a Level 2 measure of fair value) of the Group’s vessels exceeded their respective carrying amounts. After
considering the macroeconomic and geopolitical factors affecting the product and chemical tanker businesses at the balance sheet date, the Group concluded that there were no
indicators of impairment for the vessels owned and leased by the Group.
(c) The Group has mortgaged vessels with a total carrying amount of US$2,332.6 million (2023: US$2,491.8 million, 2022: US$2,807.5 million) as security over the Group’s
borrowings.

11. Other investments (continued)
The Group does not hold more than 20% equity interest in these other investments. They are equity instruments without readily determinable fair values and over which the
Group has neither significant influence nor control through investments in common stock or in-substance common stock. Therefore, it is precluded from applying the equity
method of accounting.
CHW-LA1
In 2023, the Group acquired additional minority ordinary shares of CHW-LA1 with total consideration of US$10 million. A fair value gain of US$9.9 million was also recognised in
the other comprehensive income (Note 24 (f)) due to the observable price change, in relation to the ordinary shares of CHW-LA1 held by the Group prior to this additional
investment during the financial year 2023.
Diginex
In 2023, the Group injected additional working capital in Diginex, in the form of a convertible loan note of US$0.25 million. A fair value loss of US$0.22 million was also
recognised in the other comprehensive income (Note 24 (f)) due to observable price change, in relation to the Group’s investment in the ordinary shares of Diginex.
ZeroNorth (formerly known as Alpha Ori)
On 30 October 2023, the Group, along with other Alpha Ori’s shareholders, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with ZeroNorth A/S to sell its entire stake in Alpha Ori to
ZeroNorth A/S in exchange for newly issued shares in ZeroNorth A/S. The transaction was completed in February 2024, with the Group subsequently becoming shareholders of
ZeroNorth A/S.
On 26 January 2024, the Group entered into a pre-merger promissory loan note agreement with Alpha Ori of US$0.4 million, to be repaid on completion of the merger. After the
completion of the merger, the pre-merger promissory loan note was converted into equity.
Following the merger completion on 19 February 2024, the Group disposed of half its shareholdings in ZeroNorth, and recognised an immediate loss of US$0.6 million in profit or
loss. For the financial year ended 31 December 2024, the Group remeasured its investment in ZeroNorth and recorded a net fair value change of US$1.2 million in other
comprehensive income (Note 24(f)), based on the observable price change related to the share disposal on 19 February 2024.
On 10 April 2024, the Group injected additional working capital in ZeroNorth in the form of a convertible note of US$0.3 million.
Vanguard

13. Loans receivable from joint ventures
The Group and CSSC (Hong Kong) Shipping Company Limited (“CSSC Shipping”) are joint venture partners in Vista Shipping Pte. Ltd., which builds and operates LR1 and LR2
product tanker vessels.
In the financial year ended 31 December 2023, the Group entered into an agreement with SOCATRA, to be joint venture partners in Ecomar Shipholding S.A.S (“Ecomar”).
As part of financing for the newbuilds under the respective joint ventures, each joint venture partner provides to the joint venture a shareholder’s loan to finance 50% of the
initial payment instalments for the product tanker vessels.
In 2023, four orders for IMO II MR vessels were made through the Ecomar joint venture. As part of financing for the MR newbuilds under the joint venture, each joint venture
partner contributed a shareholder’s loan to finance the pre-delivery instalments for the four IMO II MR newbuilds.

Group considers these loans receivable as an extension of the Group’s investments in joint ventures. The carrying amounts of the loans receivable approximate their fair values
since the interest rates are re-priceable at three-month intervals.

Included within trade and other receivables, and prepayments as at the financial years ended 2024 and 2023 are contract assets. These contract assets relate to the Group’s
rights to consideration for proportional performance from voyage charters in progress at the balance sheet date. These contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when
the rights to such consideration become unconditional, typically when the Group has satisfied its performance obligations upon completion of the voyage. As voyage charters
in progress have an expected duration of less than one year, the Group applies the practical expedient available under IFRS 15 and does not disclose information about
remaining performance obligations as at balance sheet date. There were no impairment losses recognised on contract assets (2023: US$Nil).

20. Borrowings (continued)
Sales and leaseback liabilities (accounted for as financing transaction)
As of 31 December 2024, the sales and leaseback liabilities (accounted for as financing transaction) consist of various facilities provided by external leasing houses under sale-
and-leaseback contracts. Under these contracts, the vessels were legally sold to external leasing houses and leased back by Hafnia. The sale of vessels under these sales and
leaseback arrangements did not meet the criteria for sale as prescribed by IFRS 15 Revenue with customers as the Group has assessed that there was no transfer of control of
the vessels. The Group still has the present right to direct the use of the vessels and to obtain the remaining economic benefits from the vessels. The Group also has the
option/obligation to repurchase the vessels from the leasing houses. As a result of the assessment performed, the vessels were not derecognised from the Group’s balance
sheet. These transactions were treated as financing arrangements since lease inception, with the proceeds received from the external leasing houses reflected as sales and
leaseback liabilities, which were accounted for as financing transactions.
During the financial year ended 2024, The Group also exercised the purchase options on six of its existing sales and leaseback financings with Jiangsu Financial Lease Co
Limited and CSSC (Hong Kong) Shipping Company Limited. These transactions were accounted for as an extinguishment of existing sales and leaseback liabilities (accounted
for as financing transaction).
During the financial year ended 2023, as a part of the Group’s ongoing refinancing exercise to refinance the debt that was acquired as a part of the CTI acquisition into lower-
priced financing facilities, the Group refinanced five IMO II Handy vessels via sale and leaseback financing with CMB Financial leasing. These transactions were accounted for
as an extinguishment of existing sales and leaseback liabilities (accounted for as financing transaction) and the recognition of new sales and leaseback liabilities (accounted for
as financing transaction) based on the new borrowing terms. The Group also exercised the purchase options on nine of its existing sales and leaseback financings with AVIC
International Leasing, SPDB Financial Leasing, ICBC Financial Leasing and Ocean Yield Limited. These transactions were accounted for as an extinguishment of existing sales
and leaseback liabilities (accounted for as financing transaction).

Financial and non-financial covenants
The Group has bank borrowings and sales and leaseback liabilities (accounted for as financing transaction) that contain financial and non-financial covenants. Any breach of
covenants will result in bank borrowings and sales and leaseback liabilities becoming payable on demand. If the Group continues with its financial position as at the end of the
reporting date and there is no significant decrease in the fair values of the vessels, the Group expects to comply with the quarterly reporting covenants for the next 12 months.

(4) Extension options
Some leases contain extension options exercisable by the Group up to one year before the end of the non-cancellable contract period. Where practicable, the Group seeks
to include extension options in new leases to provide operational flexibility. The extension options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by the lessors. The Group
assesses at lease commencement date whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension options. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise
the options if there is a significant event or significant changes in circumstances within its control. In the financial year ended 2024 and 2023, the Group exercised options
on certain leases to extend their charter period for a duration of one year and recognised additional lease liabilities with a corresponding increase in ROU assets.
The Group has estimated that the potential future lease payments, should it exercise the extension options, would result in an increase in lease liability of US$89.2 million.

23. Commitments
Operating lease commitments - where the Group is a lessor
The Group leases vessels to non-related parties under non-cancellable operating lease agreements. The Group classifies these leases as operating leases as the Group retains
substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased assets. In 2024, the Group recognised estimated lease revenue of US$92.2 million (2023: US$94.1 million,
2022: US$48.3 million) and non-lease revenue of US$40.3 million (2023: US$40.4 million, 2022: US$25.5 million) as part of time charter revenue (Note 4).
The undiscounted lease payments under operating leases to be received after 31 December are analysed as follows:
2024 2023 2022
US$’000 US$’000 US$’000
Less than one year 110,715 87,459 65,878

Newbuild commitments
The Group has equity interests in joint ventures and is obliged to provide its share of working capital for the joint ventures’ newbuild programme through either equity
contributions or shareholder’s loans. The commitments may not be utilised by the joint ventures.

24. Financial risk management
Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk, currency risk and interest rate risk); credit risk; liquidity risk and capital risk. The
Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial
performance.
Financial risk management is handled by the Group as part of its operations. The management team identifies, evaluates and manages financial risks in close co-operation with
all operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest
rate risk, credit risk and use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments.
(a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its
holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising
the return.
The Group enters into derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the
Group. Generally, the Group seeks to apply hedge accounting in order to manage volatility in profit or loss.

24 Financial risk management (continued)

Price risk
The shipping market can be subject to significant fluctuations. The Group’s vessels are employed under a variety of chartering arrangements including time charters and
voyage charters.
In 2024, approximately 5% (2023: 5%, 2022: 4%) of the Group’s shipping revenue was derived from vessels under fixed income charters (comprising time charters).
The Group is exposed to the risk of variations in fuel oil costs, which are affected by the global political and economic environment. Historically, fuel expenses have been
the most significant expense. Under a time charter, the charterer is responsible for fuel costs, therefore, fixed income charters also reduce exposure to fuel price fluctuations.
In 2024, fuel oil costs comprised 47% (2023: 47%, 2022: 46%) of the Group’s operating expenses. If price of fuel oil has increased/decreased by US$1 (2023: US$1, 2022:
US$1) per metric ton with all other variables including tax rate being held constant, the net results will be lower/higher by US$891,737 (2023: US$801,249, 2022: US$470,881)
as a result of higher/lower fuel oil consumption expense.
In addition to securing cash flows through time charter contracts, the Group has entered into forward freight agreements to limit the risk involved in trading in the spot
market. Details of the Group’s outstanding forward freight agreements are disclosed in Note 12.
Currency risk
The functional currency of most of the entities in the Group is United States Dollars (“US$”). The Group’s operating revenue, and the majority of its interest-bearing debt
and contractual obligations for vessels under construction are denominated in US$. The Group’s vessels are also valued in US$ when trading in the second-hand market.
The Group is exposed to foreign currency exchange risks for administrative expenses incurred by offices or agents globally, predominantly in Monaco, Denmark, United
Arab Emirates and Singapore. Further, the Group is required to pay port charges in currencies other than US$. However, foreign currency exposure in port charges is
minimal as any increase is usually compensated by a corresponding increase in freight, particularly in the tanker sector through industry-wide increases in Worldscale flat
rates.
At the balance sheet date, the Group has cash and cash equivalents denominated in Singapore dollars (“SGD”), Danish Kroner (“DKK”), Euro (“EUR”), United Arab
Emirates Dirham (“AED”) and Norwegian Kroner (“NOK”).
At 31 December 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Group has assessed that it has insignificant exposure to foreign currency risks. However, the Group has entered into foreign
exchange contracts to hedge its general and administrative costs to avoid short term volatility.
Details of the Group’s outstanding forward exchange contracts are disclosed in Note 12.

24. Financial risk management (continued)
Interest rate risk
The Group adopts a policy of ensuring that between 40% and 75% of its interest rate risk exposure is at a fixed-rate or limited to a certain threshold. This is achieved partly
by entering into fixed-rate instruments and partly by borrowing at a floating rate and using interest rate swaps as hedges of the variability in cash flows attributable to
interest rate risk. For the secured interest rate swaps of the Group, management applies a hedge ratio of 1:1.
The Group determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the reference interest rates, tenors, repricing
dates and maturities and the notional or par amounts. The Group has interest-bearing financial liabilities in the form of borrowings from external financial institutions at
variable rates.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risks
Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is
the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.
The Group entered into interest rate agreements to limit exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The details of these exposures are disclosed in Note 12. As at 31 December
2024, the notional principal amount of these interest rate swaps represents approximately 45% (2023: 80%, 2022: 55%) of the Group’s borrowings on floating interest rates.
As at the balance sheet date, the interest rate profile of interest-bearing financial instruments, as reported to the management, was as follows:
Nominal amount
2024 2023 2022
US$’000 US$’000 US$’000
Variable rate financial instruments
Financial assets 64,133 69,626 74,213
Financial liabilities 1,122,249 1,251,990 1,716,589
Effect of interest rate swaps (506,197) (1,005,586) (949,047)
680,185 316,030 841,755
The Group is exposed mainly to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The Group completed the three-month US$ LIBOR transition to SOFR during the financial
year ended 2023.
Hedging relationships for which ‘Phase 2’ amendments apply
For the financial year ended 31 December 2023, the Group has applied the following hedge accounting reliefs provided by the Phase 2 amendments for its hedging
relationships that have already transitioned from LIBOR to SOFR.
Hedge designation – When the Phase 1 amendments ceased to apply, the Group has amended its hedge designation to reflect the following changes which were required
by IBOR reform:

24. Financial risk management (continued)
• Designating SOFR as a hedged risk;
• The contractual benchmark rate of the hedged US$ borrowing has been amended from LIBOR to SOFR plus a credit adjustment spread; and
• The variable rate of the hedging interest rate swap has been amended from LIBOR to SOFR with a credit adjustment spread added to the fixed rate.
These amendments to the hedge documentation did not require the Group to discontinue its hedge relationships.
Amounts accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve – When the Group amended its hedge designation for changes to its borrowings that is required by IBOR reform, the
accumulated amount outstanding in the cash flow hedge reserves was deemed to be based on SOFR. The amount is reclassified to profit or loss in the same periods during
which the hedged SOFR cash flows affect profit or loss.
Hedge effectiveness
Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedging relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic
relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument.
The Group enters into hedge relationships where the critical terms of the hedging instrument match exactly with the terms of the hedged item. If changes in circumstances
affect the terms of the hedged item such that the critical terms no longer match exactly with the critical terms of the hedging instrument, it would result in hedge
ineffectiveness.
A qualitative assessment is first made for each hedging relationship to determine if there is any hedge ineffectiveness at inception. If there is hedge ineffectiveness
identified at inception or throughout the course of the hedge relationship due to critical terms not fully matching due to a change in circumstances, the Group quantifies
and assesses hedge ineffectiveness using the hypothetical derivative method.
In these hedge relationships, the main sources of ineffectiveness are:
(1) the effect of the counterparty and the Group’s own credit risk on the fair value of the swaps, which is not reflected in the change in the fair value of the hedged cash
flows attributable to the change in interest rates;
(2) differences in repricing dates between the swaps and the borrowings; and
(3) transitioning the hedged item and the hedging instrument to alternative benchmark rates at different times, which may result in temporary mismatch in benchmark
interest rates or permanent difference in adjustment spreads;
Ineffectiveness of US$4.4 million has been recognised in relation to the interest rate swaps in other gains or losses in profit or loss for 2024 (2023: 6.6 million, 2022: US$nil).
Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments
If the interest rates has increased/decreased by 50 basis points, with all other variables including tax rate being held constant, the net results will be lower/higher by
approximately US$2.8 million (2023: US$1.8 million, 2022: US$1.5 million) as a result of higher/lower interest expense on the portion of the borrowings that is not covered by
the interest rate swap instruments.
If the interest rates have increased/decreased by 50 basis points, with all other variables including tax rate being held constant, the net results will be lower/higher by
approximately US$4.8 million (2023: US$5.8 million, 2022: US$4.9 million) as a result of higher/lower interest expense on borrowings; had no hedging been in place.

24. Financial risk management (continued)

(b) Credit risk
The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash)and loans receivable from joint ventures.
The maximum exposure is represented by the carrying value of each financial asset on the balance sheet.
The Group performs periodic credit evaluations of its charterers. The Group has implemented policies to ensure cash funds are deposited and derivatives are entered into
with banks and internationally recognised financial institutions with a good credit rating and the vessels are chartered out to charterers with an appropriate credit rating
who can provide sufficient guarantees.
Trade receivables and contract assets
The Group applies the simplified lifetime approach and uses a provision matrix to determine the ECLs of trade receivables and contract assets. It is based on the Group’s
historical observed default rates and is adjusted by a current and forward-looking estimate based on current economic conditions.
Credit risk is concentrated on several charterers (Note 26). The Group adopts the policy of dealing only with customers with appropriate credit history.
The Group has determined that the ECL provision estimated based on an allowance matrix of 0.3% to 1% for trade receivables aged “Past due up to three months” and “Past
due for more than six months”, respectively, as at 31 December 2024, 2023 and 2022 were insignificant. Accordingly, no ECL allowance was recorded by the Group.
The age analysis of trade receivables and contract assets is as follows:
2024 2023 2022
US$’000 US$’000 US$’000
Current (not past due) 199,076 312,744 215,442
Past due 0 to 3 months 68,653 86,920 55,277
Past due for more than 3 months 136,284 108,178 34,776
Less: Allowance for impairment — — —
404,013 507,842 305,495

Loan receivable from joint ventures
The loans extended to the joint ventures form an extension of the Group’s investment in product tankers via co-ownership with another strategic investor. As the vessels
owned by the joint ventures generate positive cash flows and the outlook remains positive, management considers the credit risk of loans issued to the joint ventures as
low. As a result of the qualitative assessment performed, no ECL provision has been recognised.
Cash and cash equivalents
The cash and cash equivalents are held with high credit quality financial institutions. Impairment on cash and cash equivalents has been measured on the 12 month
expected loss basis and reflects the short maturities of the exposures. The Group considers that its cash and cash equivalents have low credit risk based on the external
credit ratings of the counterparties. The amount of the allowance on cash and cash equivalents is negligible.

24. Financial risk management (continued)
Derivatives
The derivatives are entered into with high credit quality financial institutions..

(c) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet
operating and capital expenditure needs. To address the inherent unpredictability of short-term liquidity requirements, the Group maintains sufficient cash for its daily
operations in short-term cash deposits with banks, has access to undrawn revolving credit facilities amounting to US$322 million. In the financial year ended 2023 and
2022, the Group entered into a trade receivables factoring agreement (with limited recourse to the Group) with financial institutions. This factoring agreement ended in the
financial year ended 2023.
The maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted cash flows is as follows:

(d) Capital risk
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to
maximise shareholders’ value. In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid, return capital to
shareholders, obtain new borrowings or sell assets to reduce borrowings.
The Group is subject to capital requirements imposed by its external lenders in the form of financial covenants attached to its borrowing facilities.
These requirements are monitored quarterly and reported to management and the board of directors. During the financial year ended 31 December 2024, 2023 and 2022, the
Group is in compliance with all externally imposed capital requirements.
(e) Accounting classifications and fair values
The following tables present assets and liabilities recognised and measured at fair value and classified by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
(1) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
(2) inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from
prices) (Level 2); and
(3) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

(e) Accounting classifications and fair values (continued)
The Group has no Level 1 financial assets or liabilities as at 31 December 2024, 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2022.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes
assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated
future cash flows based on observable yield curves. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as
possible on entity specific estimates. These financial instruments are included in Level 2, as all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable. Other
techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3. The assessment of the fair value of investments in
unquoted equity instruments is performed on a quarterly basis based on the latest available data that is reasonably available to the Group.

(f) Measurement of fair values
Valuation techniques and inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements
The Group’s investment in unquoted equity instruments measured at FVOCI using Level 3 fair value measurements were valued using market approach based on the
Group’s best estimate, which is determined by using information including but not limited to the pricing of recent rounds of financing of the investees and information
generated from arm’s-length market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The estimated fair value of the investments would either increase or
decrease based on the latest available data that is reasonably available to the Group at each balance sheet date.
No sensitivity analysis is presented as the information used by the Group to determine the fair values of its investments are based on latest rounds of financing that have
concluded and actual market transactions.
Level 3 fair values
The following table shows a reconciliation from the opening balances to the closing balances of the Group’s investment in unquoted equity instruments measured at
FVOCI using Level 3 fair value measurements:

There were no transfers between Levels 2 and 3 during the year.

(g) Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
The Group’s financial assets and liabilities are not subjected to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar arrangements. Financial derivatives, financial assets and
financial liabilities are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheet, without netting off of balances.

26. Segment information
Operating segments are determined based on the reports submitted to the CODM to make strategic decisions. For the financial year ended 31 December 2024, with the redelivery
of its Specialised vessel and the Group’s exit from the Chemical-Stainless segment, the Group has four main operating segments. During the financial year ended 31 December
2023, the CODM reorganised the business into six main operating segments, up from five in the financial year ended 31 December 2022, following the addition of the Specialised
segment. For the financial year ended 31 December 2024, the operating segments are as follows:
(a) Long Range II (‘LR2’)
(b) Long Range I (‘LR1’)
(c) Medium Range (‘MR’)
(d) Handy size (‘Handy’)
The operating segments are organised and managed according to the size of the product tanker vessels.
The LR2 segment consists of vessels between 85,000 DWT and 124,999 DWT in size and provides transportation of clean petroleum oil products.
The LR1 segment consists of vessels between 55,000 DWT and 84,999 DWT in size and provides transportation of clean and dirty petroleum products.
The MR segment consists of vessels between 40,000 DWT and 54,999 DWT in size and provides transportation of clean and dirty oil products, vegetable oil and easy
chemicals; inclusive of IMO II vessels.

26. Segment information (continued)
The Specialized segment consists of vessels between 5,000 DWT 19,999 DWT in size.
The Group exited the Chemical-Stainless segment after disposing of its Chemical-Stainless vessels that were previously acquired through the acquisition of CTI; and the Group
exited the Specialized after redelivering its only Specialized vessel.
Management assesses the performance of the operating segments based on operating profit before depreciation, amortisation, impairment and gain on disposal of vessels
(“Operating EBITDA”). This measurement basis excludes the effects of impairment charges and gain on disposal of vessels that are not expected to recur regularly in every
financial period. Interest income and finance expenses, which result from the Group’s capital and liquidity position that is centrally managed for the benefit of various activities,
general and administrative expenses, and specific items within other operating income including bunker management fee income from external party are not allocated to
segments.

The unallocated amount consists of interest income and finance expenses, general and administrative expenses; and other operating income such as insurance claims

Geographical segments’ revenue
The Group’s vessels operate on an international platform with individual vessels calling at various ports across the globe. The Group does not consider the domicile of its
customers as a relevant decision-making guideline, and hence does not consider it meaningful to allocate vessels and revenue to specific geographical locations.
Major customers
Revenues from the top five major customers (by grouping of legal entities known to the Group to be under common control) of the Group across all operating segments
represents approximately US$937.7 million (2023: US$870.0 million, 2022: US$772.5 million)) of the Group’s total revenues.

securities, contracts, warrants or other instruments evidencing any shares, option rights, securities having conversion or option rights, or obligations on such terms,
conditions and other provisions as are fixed by the Board, including, without limiting the generality of this authority, conditions that preclude or limit any person or
persons owning or offering to acquire a specified number or percentage of the issued Ordinary Shares, other shares, option rights, securities having conversion or
option rights, or obligations of the Company or transferee of the person or persons from exercising, converting, transferring or receiving the shares, option rights,
securities having conversion or option rights, or obligations.
5.5 All the rights attaching to a Treasury Share shall be suspended and shall not be exercised by the Company while it holds such Treasury Share and, except where
required by the Act and any other applicable laws and regulation, all Treasury Shares shall be excluded from the calculation of any percentage or fraction of the
share capital, or shares, of the Company.
6. Calls on Shares
6.1 The Board may make such calls as it thinks fit upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on the shares allotted to or held by such Members (and not made
payable at fixed times by the terms and conditions of issue) and, if a call is not paid on or before the day appointed for payment thereof, the Member may at the
discretion of the Board be liable to pay the Company interest on the amount of such call at such rate as the Board may determine, from the date when such call was
payable up to the actual date of payment. The Board may differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment of such

6.2 Any amount which by the terms of allotment of a share becomes payable upon issue or at any fixed date shall for the purposes of these Regulations be deemed to be
an amount on which a call has been duly made and payable, on the date on which, by the terms of issue, the same becomes payable, and in case of non-payment, all
the relevant provisions of these Regulations as to payment of interest, costs, and expenses, forfeiture or otherwise shall apply as if such amount had become
payable by virtue of a duly made and notified call.
6.3 The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls and any interest, costs and expenses in respect thereof.
6.4 The Company may make arrangements on the issue of shares for varying the amounts and times of payment of calls as between Members.

7.2 If the requirements of such notice are not complied with, any such share may at any time thereafter before the payment of such call and the interest due in respect
thereof be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect, and such share shall thereupon become the property of the Company and may be disposed of as the
Board shall determine. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the disposal may take place by sale, repurchase, redemption or any other method of disposal
permitted by and consistent with these Regulations and the Act.
7.3 A Member whose share or shares have been so forfeited shall, notwithstanding such forfeiture, be liable to pay to the Company all calls owing on such share or
shares at the time of the forfeiture, together with all interest due thereon and any costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith.
7.4 The Board may accept the surrender of any shares which it is in a position to forfeit on such terms and conditions as may be agreed. Subject to those terms and
conditions, a surrendered share shall be treated as if it had been forfeited.
8. Share Certificates
8.1 Subject to the Act, no share certificates shall be issued by the Company unless, in respect of a class of shares, the Board has either for all or for some holders of
such shares (who may be determined in such manner as the Board thinks fit) determined that the holder of such shares may be entitled to share certificates. In the
case of a share held jointly by several persons, delivery of a certificate to one of several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all.
8.2 Subject to being entitled to a share certificate under the provisions of Regulation 8.1, the Company shall complete and have ready for delivery the appropriate share
certificate in connection with the allotment or transfer (as the case may be) within (i) 60 days after the allotment of any of its shares or (ii) 30 days after the date on
which a transfer (other than in Regulation 13.5) of its shares is lodged with the Company.

8.3 If any share certificate shall be proved to the satisfaction of the Board to have been worn out, lost, mislaid, or destroyed, the Board may cause a new certificate to be
issued and request an indemnity for the lost certificate if it sees fit.
8.4 Notwithstanding any provisions of these Regulations:
(a) the Board shall, subject always to the Act and any other applicable laws and regulations and the facilities and requirements of any relevant system
concerned, have power to implement any arrangements it may, in its absolute discretion, think fit in relation to the evidencing of title to and transfer of
book-entry shares including, without limitation, by means of a Depository or any other relevant system, and to the extent such arrangements are so
implemented, no provision of these Regulations shall apply or have effect to the extent that it is in any respect inconsistent with the holding or transfer of
shares in uncertificated form. The Board may from time to time take such actions and do such things as the Board may in its absolute discretion think fit in
relation to the operation of any such arrangements;

(b) the Board shall have the power to transfer shares of the Company (including, without limitation, legal title to any shares of the Company) held by any
holder thereof to or from any Depository or any other relevant system in connection with a listing or admission, or upon any delisting or ceasing of any
admission, to trading of shares of the Company (or beneficial interests, depository interests or any such other interests in shares of the Company) on an
appointed stock exchange. Each Member authorises and grants the Board, and any person appointed and/or authorised by the Board, the power to act as
agent of such Member to sign any instrument of transfer, if necessary or desirable, in respect of any transfer of shares pursuant to this Regulation 8.4 for
and on behalf of the Member. Such instrument of transfer shall be effective as if it had been executed by the registered holder and title of the transferee
shall not be invalidated by reason of any irregularity or invalidity of proceedings related thereto. Notice shall be given to a Member before transferring such
Member’s share(s) to any Depository or any other relevant system, provided that an accidental omission to give notice to, or the non-receipt of a notice by,
any person entitled to receive such notice shall not invalidate any such transfer. A Member may request by written notice to the Secretary for the Board: (i)
to not transfer such Member’s shares to any Depository or any other relevant system pursuant to this Regulation; and/or (ii) to subsequently transfer such
Member’s shares to or from any such Depository or any other relevant system in accordance with such rules, regulations, facilities and requirements of any
such Depository or such other relevant system; and
(c) unless otherwise determined by the Board and as permitted by the Act and any other applicable laws and regulations, no person shall be entitled to receive
a certificate in respect of any share for so long as the title to that share is evidenced otherwise than by a certificate and for so long as transfers of that share
may be made otherwise than by a written instrument.
REGISTRATION OF SHARES
9. Register of Members
9.1 The Board shall cause to be kept in one or more books a Register of Members and shall enter therein the particulars required by the Act. Subject to the Statutes and
any applicable rules of the Stock Exchange, the Company may keep one or more branch registers in any place in or outside of Singapore, and the Board may make,
amend and revoke any such regulations as it may think fit respecting the keeping of such branch registers.

9.2 Subject to, and in accordance with, the Statutes and any applicable rules of the Stock Exchange and unless the Board otherwise approves (which approval may be
on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Board in its absolute discretion may from time to time determine, and which approval the Board shall, without
giving any reason therefor, be entitled in its absolute discretion to give or withhold), no shares upon the Register of Members shall be transferred to any branch
register of Members nor shall shares on any branch register of Members be transferred to the Register of Members or any other branch register of Members and all
transfers and other documents of title shall be lodged for registration, and registered, in the case of any shares on a branch register of Members, at the relevant
Registration Office, and, in the case of any shares on the Register of Members, at the Office or such other place at which the Register of Members is kept in
accordance with the Statutes.
9.3 The Register of Members shall be open to inspection without charge at the registered office of the Company or in the case of a branch register at the Registration
Office accessible via the registrar of the Company, or such other place at which the Register of Members is kept in accordance with the Statutes on every business
day, subject to such reasonable restrictions as the Board may impose, so that not less than two hours in each business day be allowed for inspection. The Register
of Members, including any overseas or local or other branch register may, after notice has been given by advertisement in an appointed newspaper or any other
newspapers in accordance with the requirements of any Stock Exchange or by any electronic means in such manner as may be accepted by the Stock Exchange to
that effect be closed for any time or times not exceeding in the whole thirty days in each year.
9.4 The shares may be registered with the Depository system or any other relevant system as branch register, and if necessary shares may be registered in the Register
of Members in the name of the registrar of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, no provision of this Constitution shall be construed as imposing any restriction
on the transfer of shares or any beneficial interests in the shares, as the case may be, in the Depository system facilitating the trading of shares or beneficial interest
in the shares, as the case may be, on any Stock Exchange.

10. Disclosure of Interests in Company Securities
10.1 Members shall make such notifications to the Company regarding their interests in Company Securities as they are required to make under all applicable rules and
regulations to which the Company is subject.
10.2 The provisions of Regulation 10.1 are in addition to, and separate from, any other rights or obligations arising under the Act, these Regulations or otherwise.
11. Company Investigations and Consequences
11.1 The Board has power to serve a notice to require any Member or any other person it has reasonable cause to believe, as determined in the Board’s sole discretion, to
be interested in Company Securities (an “Interested Party”), to disclose to the Company the nature of such interest and any documents to verify the identity of the
Interested Party that the Board deems necessary.
11.2 If at any time the Board is satisfied that any Member or Interested Party has been duly served with a notice pursuant to Regulation 11.1 (a “Disclosure Notice”) and
is in default for the prescribed period set out in Regulation 11.6 in supplying to the Company the information thereby required, or, in purported compliance with a
Disclosure Notice, has made a statement which is false or inadequate in any material particular as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, then the Board may,
in its absolute discretion at any time thereafter serve a further notice (a “Direction Notice”) on the Member who was served with the relevant Disclosure Notice or
on the Member who holds the Company Securities in which the Interested Party who was served with the relevant Disclosure Notice appears to be interested to
direct that:
(a) in respect of the Company Securities in relation to which the default occurred (the “Default Securities”, which expression includes any Company Securities
issued after the date of the Disclosure Notice in respect of those Company Securities) the Member shall not be entitled to attend or vote either personally or
by proxy at a general meeting or at a separate meeting of the holders of that class of shares or on a poll; and

Hafnia Limited Page 21
(b) where the Default Securities represent at least 0.25 per cent (in nominal value) of the issued shares of their class, the Direction Notice may additionally
direct that in respect of the Default Securities:
(i) where an offer of the right to elect to receive Company Securities instead of cash in respect of any dividend or part thereof is or has been made by
the Company, any election made thereunder by such Member in respect of such Default Securities shall not be effective; and/or
(ii) any dividend (or any part of a dividend) or other amount payable in respect of the Default Securities shall be withheld by the Company, which shall
have no obligation to pay interest on it, and such dividend or part thereof shall only be payable when the Direction Notice ceases to have effect to
the person who would but for the Direction Notice have been entitled to it; and/or
(iii) no transfer of any of the Company Securities held by any such Member shall be recognised or registered by the Board unless: (1) the transfer is an
excepted transfer (as defined in Regulation 11.6); or (2) the Member is not himself in default as regards supplying the requisite information required
under this Regulation and, when presented for registration, the transfer is accompanied by a certificate by the Member in a form satisfactory to the
Board to the effect that after due and careful enquiry the Member is satisfied that none of the Company Securities, which are the subject of the
transfer, are Default Securities.
11.3 The Company shall send the Direction Notice to each person appearing to be interested in the Default Securities, but the failure or omission by the Company to do
so shall not invalidate such notice.

11.4 Any Direction Notice shall cease to have effect not more than seven days after the earlier of receipt by the Company of:
(a) notice that the Default Securities are subject to an excepted transfer (as defined in Regulation 11.6), but only in relation to those Default Securities which are
subject to such excepted transfer and not to any other Company Securities covered by the same Direction Notice; or
(b) all the information required by the relevant Disclosure Notice, in a form satisfactory to the Board.
11.5 The Board may at any time send a notice cancelling a Direction Notice if it determines in its sole discretion that it is appropriate to do so.
11.6 For the purposes of Regulations 10 and 11:
(a) the “prescribed period” is 14 days from the date the Disclosure Notice is deemed served;
(b) a reference to a person being “interested” or having an “interest” in Company Securities includes an interest of any kind whatsoever in the Company
Securities;
(c) a transfer of Company Securities is an “excepted transfer” if:
(i) it is a transfer of Company Securities pursuant to an acceptance of an offer to acquire all the shares, or all the shares of any class or classes, in the
Company (other than Company Securities, which at the date of the offer are already held by the offeror), being an offer on terms, which are the
same in relation to all the Company Securities to which the offer relates or, where those Company Securities include Company Securities of
different classes, in relation to all the Company Securities of each class; or

(ii) a transfer, which is shown to the satisfaction of the Board to be made in consequence of a sale of the whole of the beneficial interest in the
Company Securities to a person who is not connected with the Member who has been served with the Disclosure Notice and with any other
person appearing to be interested in the Default Securities; or
(iii) a transfer in consequence of a bona fide sale made on an appointed stock exchange upon which shares of the Company are listed or admitted to
trading.
11.7 Where a person who appears to be interested in Company Securities has been served with a notice pursuant to Regulation 11.1, and the Company Securities in
which he appears to be interested are held by a depository or a nominee approved as such by the Board (an “Approved Depository” and an “Approved Nominee”
respectively), the provisions of Regulation 11.1 will be treated as applying only to the Company Securities which are held by the Approved Depository or Approved
Nominee in which that person appears to be interested and not (so far as that person’s apparent interest is concerned) to any other Company Securities held by the
Approved Depository or Approved Nominee.
11.8 While the Member on which a notice pursuant to Regulation 11.1 is served is an Approved Depository or Approved Nominee, the obligations of the Approved
Depository or Approved Nominee as a Member will be limited to disclosing to the Company any information relating to a person who appears to be interested in the
Company Securities held by it, which has been recorded by it in accordance with the arrangement under which it was appointed as an Approved Depository or
Approved Nominee by the Board.
12. Registered Holder Absolute Owner
The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any share as the absolute owner thereof and accordingly shall not be bound to recognise any equitable claim
or other claim to, or interest in, such share on the part of any other person.

13. Transfer of Registered Shares
13.1 Subject to the Act and to such of the restrictions contained in these Regulations as may be applicable, any Member may transfer all or any of his shares by an
instrument of transfer in the usual common form or in any other form which the Board may approve. No such instrument shall be required on the redemption of a
share or on the purchase by the Company of a share. All transfers of book-entry shares shall be made in accordance with and be subject to the facilities and
requirements of the transfer of title to shares in that class by means of a Depository or any other relevant system concerned and, subject thereto, in accordance with
any arrangements made by the Board pursuant to Regulation 8.
13.2 An instrument of transfer shall be signed by (or in the case of a party that is a corporation, on behalf of) the transferor and transferee, provided that, in the case of a
fully paid share, the Board may accept the instrument signed by or on behalf of the transferor alone. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of such
share until the same has been registered as having been transferred to the transferee in the Register of Members.
13.3 The Board may refuse to recognise any instrument of transfer unless it is accompanied by the certificate in respect of the shares (if one has been issued) to which it
relates and by such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to prove the right of the transferor to make the transfer.
13.4 The joint holders of any share may transfer such share to one or more of such joint holders, and the surviving holder or holders of any share previously held by
them jointly with a deceased Member may transfer any such share to the executors or administrators of such deceased Member.

13.5 The Board may in its absolute discretion and without assigning any reason therefor refuse to register the transfer of a share which is not fully paid or in accordance
with Regulation 11.2. The Board shall refuse to register a transfer unless all applicable consents, authorisations and permissions of any governmental body or
agency in Singapore have been obtained. If the Board refuses to register a transfer of any share the Secretary shall, within 30 days after the date on which the
transfer was lodged with the Company, send to the transferor and transferee notice of the refusal.
13.6 The Board may refuse to register the transfer of any share, and may direct the registrar and/or transfer agent of the Company to decline (and such registrar and/or
transfer agent of the Company, to the extent it is able to do so, shall decline if so requested) to register the transfer of any interest in a share held through a
Depository, where such transfer is not in accordance with Regulation 11.2 or where such transfer would, in the opinion of the Board, be likely to result in 50% or more
of the aggregate issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, or shares of the Company to which are attached 50% or more of the votes of all issued and
outstanding shares of the Company, being held or owned directly or indirectly by individuals or legal persons resident for tax purposes in Norway or, alternatively,
such shares being effectively connected to a Norwegian business activity, or the Company otherwise being deemed a Controlled Foreign Company as such term is
defined pursuant to Norwegian tax legislation.
13.7 Subject to Regulation 13.6, but notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Regulations, Company Securities that are listed or admitted to trading on a Stock
Exchange may be transferred in accordance with the rules and regulations of such Stock Exchange. All transfers of shares registered with a Depository shall be made
in accordance with and be subject to the facilities and requirements of the transfer of title to shares in that class by means of the Depository or any other relevant
system concerned and, subject thereto, in accordance with any arrangements made by the Board.
13.8 The Board in its absolute discretion may transfer shares, and register the transfer of such shares, pursuant to Regulation 8.4.

14.1 In the case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased Member was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the
deceased Member where the deceased Member was a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to the deceased
Member’s interest in the shares. Nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability in respect of any share which had been
jointly held by such deceased Member with other persons. Subject to the provisions of the Act, for the purpose of this Regulation, legal personal representative
means the executor or administrator of a deceased Member or such other person as the Board may, in its absolute discretion, decide as being properly authorised to
deal with the shares of a deceased Member.
14.2 Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of any Member may be registered as a Member upon such evidence as the
Board may deem sufficient or may elect to nominate some person to be registered as a transferee of such share, and in such case the person becoming entitled shall
execute in favour of such nominee an instrument of transfer in writing in the form, or as near thereto as circumstances admit, of the following:

myself/ourselves, elect to have [name of transferee] (the “Transferee”) registered as a transferee of such share(s) and I/we do hereby accordingly
transfer the said share(s) to the Transferee to hold the same unto the Transferee, his or her executors, administrators and assigns, subject to the
conditions on which the same were held at the time of the execution hereof; and the Transferee does hereby agree to take the said share(s) subject to

14.3 On the presentation of the foregoing materials to the Board, accompanied by such evidence as the Board may require to prove the title of the transferor, the
transferee shall be registered as a Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall, in any case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as it
would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that Member before such Member’s death or bankruptcy, as the case may be.
14.4 Where two or more persons are registered as joint holders of a share or shares, then in the event of the death of any joint holder or holders the remaining joint holder
or holders shall be absolutely entitled to such share or shares and the Company shall recognise no claim in respect of the estate of any joint holder except in the case
of the last survivor of such joint holders.
ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL
15. Power to Alter Capital
15.1 Subject to the Statutes and rules of the Stock Exchange, the Company may if authorised by resolution of the Members increase, divide, consolidate, subdivide,
change the currency denomination of, diminish or otherwise alter or reduce its share capital in any manner.
15.2 Where, on any alteration or reduction of share capital, or some other difficulty would arise, the Board may deal with or resolve the same in such manner as it thinks
fit.
16. Variation of Rights Attaching to Shares
If, at any time, the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of
that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound-up, be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of three-fourths of the issued shares of that class or with
the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of the class at which meeting the necessary
quorum shall be two persons at least holding or representing by proxy one-third of the issued shares of the class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any
class issued with preferred or other rights shall, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation
or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.

Company.
17.3 The Board may, subject to these Regulations and in accordance with the Act, declare a dividend to be paid to the Members, in proportion to the number of shares
held by them, and such dividend may be paid in cash or wholly or partly in specie in which case the Board may fix the value for distribution in specie of any assets.
No unpaid dividend shall bear interest as against the Company.
17.4 The Board may fix any date as the record date for determining the Members entitled to receive any dividend.
17.5 The Company may pay dividends in proportion to the amount paid up on each share where a larger amount is paid up on some shares than on others.
17.6 The Board may declare and make such other distributions (in cash or in specie) to the Members as may be lawfully made out of the assets of the Company. No
unpaid distribution shall bear interest as against the Company.
17.7 Notwithstanding anything in this Constitution, no dividend (final or interim) shall be paid to shareholders except out of the profits of the Company.

18. Power to Set Aside Profits
The Board may, before declaring a dividend, set aside out of the surplus or profits of the Company, such amount as it thinks proper as a reserve to be used to meet
contingencies or for equalising dividends or for any other purpose.
19. Method of Payment
19.1 Any dividend, interest, or other moneys payable in cash in respect of the shares may be paid through a Depository system or any other relevant system, by cheque
or bank draft sent through the post directed to the Member at such Member’s address in the Register of Members, or to such person and to such address as the
Member may direct in writing, or by transfer to such account as the Member may direct in writing.
19.2 In the case of joint holders of shares, any dividend, interest or other moneys payable in cash in respect of shares may be paid by cheque or bank draft sent through
the post directed to the address of the holder first named in the Register of Members, or to such person and to such address as the joint holders may direct in
writing, or by transfer to such account as the joint holders may direct in writing. If two or more persons are registered as joint holders of any shares any one can give
an effectual receipt for any dividend paid in respect of such shares.
19.3 The Board may deduct from the dividends or distributions payable to any Member all moneys due from such Member to the Company on account of calls or
otherwise.
19.4 Any dividend and/or other monies payable in respect of a share which has remained unclaimed for six years from the date when it became due for payment shall, if
the Board so resolves, be forfeited and cease to remain owing by the Company. The payment of any unclaimed dividend or other moneys payable in respect of a
share may (but need not) be paid by the Company into an account separate from the Company’s own account. Such payment shall not constitute the Company a
trustee in respect thereof.

undelivered to, or left uncashed by, that Member on at least two consecutive occasions, or, following one such occasion, reasonable enquiries have failed to

MEETINGS OF MEMBERS

Subject to the Insolvency, Restructuring and Dissolution Act 2018 of Singapore, if the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, with the sanction of a resolution of the
Members, divide amongst the Members in specie or in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or
not) and may, for such purpose, set such value as he deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how such division shall be carried out as
between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in the trustees upon such trusts
for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any shares or other securities or assets whereon there is
any liability.
CHANGES TO CONSTITUTION

No Regulation shall be rescinded, altered or amended and no new Regulation shall be made until the same has been approved by a resolution of the Board and by a special
resolution of the Members.

Regulation. A document purporting to be a copy of a resolution of the Directors or an extract from the minutes of a meeting of Directors which is certified as such in
accordance with the provisions of the last preceding Regulation shall be conclusive evidence in favour of all persons dealing with the Company upon the faith thereof that
such resolution has been duly passed or, as the case may be, that such extract is a true and accurate record of a duly constituted meeting of the Directors.
75. Personal Data
75.1 A member who is a natural person is deemed to have consented to the collection, use and disclosure of his personal data (whether such personal data is provided by

discloses the personal data of such proxy and/or representative to the Company (or its agents or service providers), that such Member has obtained the prior
consent of such proxy and/or representative for the collection, use and disclosure by the Company (or its agents or service providers) of the personal data of such
proxy and/or representative for the purposes specified in Regulation 75.1(f), and is deemed to have agreed to indemnify the Company in respect of any penalties,
liabilities, claims, demands, losses and damages as a result of such Member’s breach of warranty.

In the event that any dispute arises concerning the Act or out of or in connection with this Constitution, including any question regarding the existence and scope of any
Regulation and/or whether there has been any breach of the Act or these Regulations by an Officer or Director (whether or not such a claim is brought in the name of a
Member or in the name of the Company), any such dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore. Unless the Company consents in writing
to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a
cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of the United States of America.

Exhibit 2.2
Description of the Registrant’s Securities Registered Pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange of 1934
Hafnia Limited (the “Company”, “Hafnia”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) has the following class of securities registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”).
Title of class Trading Symbol Name of Exchange on which registered
Ordinary shares, no par value
HAFN
New York Stock Exchange
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in Hafnia’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In addition to being registered on the New York Stock Exchange, our ordinary shares are listed on the Oslo Børs, whereon they trade under the ticker “HAFNI”.
The following description of our ordinary shares includes a summary of certain provisions of our constitution (the “Constitution”). The summary does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to our Constitution, which has been filed with the Securities Exchange Commission, and the applicable provisions of Singapore law. We encourage
you to refer to our Constitution for additional information.
General
As of December 31, 2024, we had 502,924,476 ordinary shares outstanding, no par value, and 9,639,056 treasury shares, no par value. Our ordinary shares are listed on the New York
Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “HAFN” and on the Oslo Børs under the symbol “HAFNI”.
Register of Members
A principal register of the Company’s members (the “Register of Members”) is maintained by the Company in Singapore. Subject to the Singapore Companies Act 1967 (the “Singapore
Companies Act”) and our Constitution, only persons who are registered in our Register of Members are recognized under Singapore law as holders of our shares and members of the
Company with legal standing under Singapore law to institute shareholder actions against us, our directors or our executive officers or otherwise seek to enforce their rights as members
of the Company (the “Members”) in the Singapore courts. Any such action would be subject to applicable Singapore laws. Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, LLC (“Broadridge”)
acts as the Company’s transfer agent and registrar for our shares and maintains the Company’s branch register, which is located in the United States.
Our ordinary shares are held through the Depository Trust Company (the “DTC”). Accordingly, DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., is the Member of record registered in our Register of
Members.
A holder of our ordinary shares held in book-entry interests through DTC or its nominee may become a registered Member of the Company by exchanging its interest in such shares for
certificated ordinary shares and being registered in our Register of Members in respect of such shares. The procedures by which a holder of book-entry interests held through the
facilities of the DTC may exchange such interests for certificated ordinary shares are determined by DTC (including the broker, bank, nominee or other institution that holds the shares
within DTC) and Broadridge, in accordance with their internal policies and guidelines regulating the withdrawal and exchange of book-entry interests for certificated ordinary shares. In
this regard, please note that the administrative process of becoming a registered member could result in delays that could be prejudicial to any legal proceeding or enforcement action.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 2.2 Created using Broadridge PROfile
Under the Singapore Companies Act, if (a) the name of any person is without sufficient cause entered in or omitted from the register of members; or (b) default is made or unnecessary
delay takes place in entering in the register of members the fact of any person having ceased to be a member, the person aggrieved or any member or the company itself may apply to the
Singapore High Court (the “Singapore Court”) for rectification of the register of members. The Singapore Court may refuse the application or may order rectification of the register of
members and payment by the company of any damages sustained by any party to the application. The Singapore Court will not entertain any application for the rectification of a register
of members in respect of an entry which was made in the register of members more than 30 years before the date of the application.
Ordinary Shares
Our ordinary shares have no par value as there is no concept of par value and authorized share capital under Singapore law. All shares presently issued are fully paid and existing
Shareholders (as defined herein) are not subject to any calls on shares. Although Singapore law does not adopt the reference terms of “non-assessability” with respect to newly-issued
shares, we note that any subscriber of our ordinary shares who has fully paid up all amounts due with respect to such ordinary shares will not be subject under Singapore law to any
personal liability to contribute to our assets or liabilities in such subscriber’s capacity solely as a holder of such ordinary shares. We believe this interpretation is substantively
consistent with the concept of “non-assessability” under most, if not all, U.S. state corporations laws.
Dividend Rights
We may, by ordinary resolution, declare final dividends at a general meeting of the Company, but the amount of any such dividend shall not exceed the amount recommended by our
board of directors (the “Board”). Subject to our Constitution and in accordance with the Singapore Companies Act, the Board may, without the approval of our Members, declare and
pay interim dividends as the Board determines to be justified by the profits of the Company. No dividend (final or interim) shall be paid except out of the profits of the Company. As DTC
(or its nominee, Cede & Co.) is the Member of record registered in our Register of Members, any dividend and/or other monies payable in respect of a share shall be paid to DTC (or its
nominee), and DTC shall collect and allocate such payments to Shareholders in accordance with its internal policies and guidelines.
Shareholders holding their shares through the NYSE will receive dividends in U.S. Dollars through our United States registrar. Shareholders holding their shares through the Oslo Børs
will receive dividends in Norwegian Krone through our Norwegian registrar. The currency in which each Shareholder will receive its dividends will be determined as per the record date
for the dividend distribution.
Shareholders holding their shares through the Oslo Børs will receive their dividends three days later than Shareholders whose shares are held through the NYSE. There will be a
temporary halt of approximately 2 business days in cross-border transactions for our shares between the NYSE and the Oslo Børs in the period around the ex-date and record date for the
dividend distribution.

Voting Rights
Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote per share. Pursuant to our Constitution, voting at any general meeting shall in the first instance be voted upon by a show of hands unless a
poll has been demanded by any of the following persons: (1) the chairman of the meeting, (2) at least five Members present in person or represented by proxy, (3) any Member or
Members present in person or represented by proxy and holding between them not less than 5 % of the total voting rights of all the Members having the right to vote at such meeting, or
(4) any Member or Members present in person or represented by proxy holding shares in the Company conferring the right to vote at such meeting, being shares on which an aggregate
sum has been paid up equal to not less than 5 % of the total amount paid up on all such shares conferring such right. Where a poll is demanded, subject to any rights or restrictions for
the time being lawfully attached to any class of shares, every person present at such meeting shall have one vote for each share of which such person is the holder or for which such
person holds a proxy. Proxies need not be a Member of the Company.
Subject to the Singapore Companies Act and our Constitution, only persons who are registered in our Register of Members will be entitled to vote at any general meeting in person or by
proxy. Therefore, since our ordinary shares are held through the DTC or its nominee, DTC or its nominee grants an omnibus proxy to DTC participants holding our ordinary shares in
book-entry form. A person holding our ordinary shares through a broker, bank, nominee or other institution that is a direct or indirect participant of DTC (such person, a “Shareholder”)
has the right to instruct their broker, bank, nominee or other institution holding these ordinary shares on how to vote such ordinary shares by completing the voting instruction form
provided by the applicable broker, bank, nominee, or other institution. Whether voting is by a show of hands or by a poll, the vote of DTC or its nominee will be voted by the chairman of
the meeting according to the results of the votes of the DTC participants (which results will reflect the instructions received from persons that own our ordinary shares electronically in
book-entry form through DTC). In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the resolution shall fail.
Liquidation Rights
On a winding-up or dissolution of the Company, subject to the Constitution, including any special rights attaching to any other class of shares, holders of ordinary shares shall be
entitled to any surplus assets of the Company.
Limitations on Ownership
Except as described in the sections below headed “Singapore Code on Take-Overs and Mergers” and “Restriction on Ownership”, there are no limitations in our Constitution or
Singapore law on the rights of shareholders not resident in Singapore to hold or vote in respect of our ordinary shares.
Restriction on Ownership
Pursuant to our Constitution, the Board may refuse to register the transfer of any share, and may direct the registrar and/or transfer agent of the Company to decline (and such registrar
and/or transfer agent of the Company, to the extent it is able to do so, shall decline if so requested) to register the transfer of any interest in a share held through a Depository where
such transfer is not in accordance with certain provisions of the Constitution or where such transfer would, in the opinion of the Board, be likely to result in 50 % or more of the
aggregate issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, or shares of the Company to which are attached 50 % or more of the votes of all issued and outstanding shares of the
Company, being held or owned directly or indirectly by individuals or legal persons being resident for tax purposes in Norway or such shares being effectively connected to a Norwegian
business activity or the Company otherwise being deemed a Controlled Foreign Company pursuant to Norwegian tax legislation. For this purpose, a “Depository” means DTC (or its
nominee), Euronext Securities Oslo (or its nominee), the Norwegian Central Securities Depository maintained by Verdipapirsentralen ASA or any other securities depository whose name
or whose nominee’s name is entered as a member of the Company in our register of members.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 2.2 Created using Broadridge PROfile
In such event, pursuant to the Singapore Companies Act, where an application is made for a person to be registered as a Member of the Company in respect of shares which have been
transferred to the person by act of parties or operation of law, the Company must not refuse registration by virtue of any discretion conferred by our Constitution unless it has served on
the applicant, within 30 days beginning with the day on which the application was made, a written notice stating the facts which are considered to justify refusal in the exercise of that
discretion.
Variation of Rights
Subject to the Singapore Companies Act and any other applicable Singapore statutes currently in force, under our Constitution, whenever our share capital is divided into different
classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound-up, be
varied either with the consent in writing of the holders of three-fourths of the issued shares of the class or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a
separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of the class at which meeting the necessary quorum shall be two persons at least holding or represented by proxy one-third of the
issued shares of the class and may be so varied either while the Company is a going concern or during or in contemplation of a winding-up.
Notwithstanding the above, under the Singapore Companies Act, holders of not less in the aggregate than 5% of the total number of issued shares of that class may apply, within one
month after the date on which the consent was given or the resolution was passed (as the case may be), to the Singapore Court to have the variation cancelled, and if any such
application is made, the variation does not have effect until confirmed by the Singapore Court.
The rights attached to existing preference shares shall, unless otherwise expressly authorised by the terms of issue of the existing preference shares or by the Constitution in force at the
time the existing preference shares were issued, be deemed to be varied by the issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.
Issuance of New Shares
Pursuant to the Singapore Companies Act and despite anything in our Constitution, new shares may be issued by the Board only with the prior approval of the Company in general
meeting. Such authority to issue new shares, if granted, shall continue in force until the earlier of:
• the conclusion of the next annual general meeting after the date on which the approval was given; or
• the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting is required by law to be held (i.e. within six (6) months after the end of each financial year of the
Company, being December 31); or
• the subsequent revocation or modification of approval by the Company in general meeting.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 2.2 Created using Broadridge PROfile
Subject to the Singapore Companies Act and every other written law or regulation for the time being in force concerning companies which is affecting or applicable to the Company
(“Applicable Law”), the Company may, in accordance with the Constitution, by ordinary resolution in general meeting give to the Board a general authority to issue new shares in the
future. Notwithstanding this general authorisation to allot and issue our ordinary shares, in accordance with the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the Company will, with certain limited
exceptions, be required to seek additional approval of the Company in general meeting with respect to certain future issuances of ordinary shares, including, but not limited to, an
issuance of ordinary shares that would result in a change in control of the Company or in connection with a transaction involving the issuance of ordinary shares representing 20% or
more of our outstanding ordinary shares. Under the NYSE Listed Company Manual, whether or not such additional approval is required, the Company must submit a supplemental listing
application to the NYSE prior to the issuance of any additional shares of a listed security.
Subject to such prior approval, applicable provisions of the Singapore Companies Act and our Constitution, the Board may allot and issue shares or grant options over or otherwise
dispose of the same to such persons on such terms and conditions (including being subject to regulations of any stock exchange on which our shares are listed, as well as U.S. federal
and blue sky securities laws applicable to such issue) and for such consideration (if any) and at such time as the Board may think fit.
Preference Shares
Our Constitution provides that, subject to the Singapore Companies Act and obtaining prior approval for the issuance of such shares by special resolution of the Company in general
meeting, the Board is authorized to provide for the issuance of one or more classes of preference shares in one or more series, and to establish from time to time the number of shares to
be included in each such series, and to fix the terms, including designation, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations, and restrictions of the shares of each class.
Moreover, under the Singapore Companies Act, the Company may issue preference shares or convert any issued shares into preference shares only if there are set out in the
Constitution the rights of the holders of those shares with respect to repayment of capital, participation in surplus assets and profits, cumulative or non‑cumulative dividends, voting
and priority of payment of capital and dividends in relation to other shares or other classes of preference shares.
Under the Singapore Companies Act, we may issue shares with different voting rights (i.e., shares with special, limited, conditional or no voting rights) only if:
(a) the issue of the class or classes of shares is provided for in our Constitution;
(b) our Constitution sets out in respect of each class of shares the rights attached to that class of shares; and
(c) the issuance is approved by the members of the Company by special resolution.
Under our Constitution, any preference shares may be issued as redeemable preference shares that are liable to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner as may be determined by
the Board before the issue.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 2.2 Created using Broadridge PROfile
That said, under the Singapore Companies Act, redeemable preference shares must not be redeemed out of the capital of the Company unless:
• the Board has made a solvency statement in relation to such redemption; and
• the Company has lodged a copy of the statement with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore (“ACRA”).
Further, the preference shares must be fully paid-up before they are redeemed. If we redeem any redeemable preference shares, we must within 14 days after doing so give notice thereof
to ACRA specifying the shares redeemed.
The issuance of preference shares could have the effect of decreasing the trading price of our ordinary shares, restricting dividends on our ordinary shares, diluting the voting power of
our ordinary shares, impairing the liquidation rights of our ordinary shares, or delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.
Repurchase of Ordinary Shares
In accordance with the Singapore Companies Act and our Constitution, the Company may purchase its own shares for cancellation or acquire its own shares as treasury shares on such
terms as the Board sees fit and, in certain cases including but not limited to purchases or acquisitions of its own shares on a securities exchange, only if such purchase or acquisition has
been authorised in advance by the Company in general meeting. Except to the extent permitted by the Singapore Companies Act, none of the funds of the Company or of any subsidiary
thereof shall be directly or indirectly employed in the purchase or subscription of or in loans upon the security of the Company’s shares. We cannot, except in the circumstances
permitted by the Singapore Companies Act, grant any financial assistance for the acquisition or proposed acquisition of our own shares. Any payment made by the Company in
consideration of purchases of its own shares may only be made out of the Company’s capital or profits and so long as the Company is solvent.
Transfer of Ordinary Shares
Subject to applicable securities laws in relevant jurisdictions and our Constitution, our ordinary shares are freely transferable. Our Constitution provides that shares may be transferred
by a duly signed instrument of transfer in any usual or common form or in a form approved by the Board. The Board may refuse to recognise any instrument of transfer unless it is
accompanied by the certificate in respect of shares (if one has been issued) to which it relates and by such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require showing the right of the
transferor to make the transfer.
Our Constitution further provides that the Board may refuse to register the transfer of any share, and may direct the registrar and/or transfer agent of the Company to decline (and such
registrar and/or transfer agent of the Company, to the extent it is able to do so, shall decline if so requested) to register the transfer of any interest in a share held through a Depository
where such transfer is not in accordance with certain provisions of the Constitution or where such transfer would, in the opinion of the Board, be likely to result in 50 % or more of the
aggregate issued and outstanding share capital of the Company or shares of the Company to which are attached 50% or more of the votes of all issued and outstanding shares of the
Company, being held or owned directly or indirectly by individuals or legal persons being resident for tax purposes in Norway or such shares being effectively connected to a Norwegian
business activity or the Company otherwise being deemed a Controlled Foreign Company pursuant to Norwegian tax legislation.

In such event, pursuant to the Singapore Companies Act, where an application is made for a person to be registered as a Member of the Company in respect of shares which have been
transferred to the person by act of parties or operation of law, the Company must not refuse registration by virtue of any discretion conferred by our Constitution unless it has served on
the applicant, within 30 days beginning with the day on which the application was made, a written notice stating the facts which are considered to justify refusal in the exercise of that
discretion.
Where our shares are listed or admitted to trading on any appointed stock exchange, such as the NYSE or the Oslo Børs, they will be transferred in accordance with the rules and
regulations of such exchange.
Election and Re-election of Directors
Under the Singapore Companies Act, we may, by ordinary resolution, remove any director before the expiration of his or her period of office, despite anything in our Constitution or in
any agreement between us and such director, but where any director so removed was appointed to represent the interests of any particular class of shareholders or debenture holders
the resolution to remove him or her shall not take effect until his or her successor has been appointed. We may also, by an ordinary resolution at the same meeting at which the director
is removed, appoint another person in place of a director removed from office pursuant to the foregoing.
Under our Constitution, the Company in general meeting or the Board shall have the power to appoint any person as a director to fill a vacancy on the Board occurring as a result of the
death, disability, disqualification or resignation of any director or as a result of an increase in the size of the Board, provided that any such director appointed by the Board shall hold
office only until the next annual general meeting or until their successors are elected or appointed or their office is otherwise vacated.
Members’ Meeting
Subject to the Singapore Companies Act, we are required to hold an annual general meeting within six months from the end of our fiscal year. The Board may convene an extraordinary
general meeting whenever they think fit and they must do so upon the requisition of Members holding at the date of the deposit of the requisition not less than 10% of the total number
of paid-up shares as of the date of deposit of the requisition carrying the right to vote at a general meeting (disregarding paid-up shares held as treasury shares). In addition, two or more
Members holding not less than 10% of our total number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) may call a meeting of the Company.
The Singapore Companies Act provides that a Member is entitled to attend any general meeting and speak on any resolution put before the general meeting. Unless otherwise required
by law or by our Constitution, voting on resolutions put forth at general meetings is by ordinary resolution, requiring the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the voting rights of the
Members present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the resolution. An ordinary resolution suffices, for example, for the appointment of directors. A
special resolution, requiring the affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the voting rights of the Members present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled
to vote on the resolution, is necessary for certain matters under Singapore law, including voluntary winding-up, amendments to our Constitution, a change of our corporate name and a
reduction in the share capital.
As provided in our Constitution, in each general meeting, the necessary quorum shall be two or more persons present in person throughout the meeting and representing in person or by
proxy in excess of 33% of the total issued and outstanding voting shares in the Company. If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, then, in
the case of a meeting convened on a requisition, the meeting will be deemed cancelled and, in any other case, the meeting will stand adjourned to the same day one week later, at the
same time or place, or to such other day, time or place as the Company secretary may determine.

We must give not less than 21 days’ notice in writing for every general meeting convened for the purpose of passing a special resolution. General meetings convened for the purpose of
passing ordinary resolutions generally require not less than 14 days’ notice in writing.
Singapore Code on Take-Overs and Mergers
The Singapore Code on Take-Overs and Mergers (“Singapore Take-over Code”), regulates, among other things, the acquisition of voting shares of Singapore-incorporated public
companies. In this regard, the Singapore Take-over Code applies to, among others, corporations with a primary listing of their equity securities in Singapore. While the Singapore Take-
over Code is drafted with, among others, listed public companies in mind, unlisted public companies with more than 50 shareholders and net tangible assets of S$5.0 million or more, must
also observe the letter and spirit of the general principles and rules of the Singapore Take-over Code, wherever this is possible and appropriate. Public companies with a primary listing
overseas may apply to the Securities Industry Council (“SIC”) to waive the application of the Singapore Take-over Code. We have received a waiver from the SIC so that the Singapore
Take-over Code will not apply to us for so long as we are not listed on a securities exchange in Singapore. Nonetheless, the following paragraphs summarize certain provisions of the
Singapore Take-over Code.
Any person acquiring an interest, whether by a series of transactions over a period of time or not, either on his or her own or together with parties acting in concert with such person, in
30% or more of the voting rights in a company or any person holding, either on his or her own or together with parties acting in concert with such person, between 30% and 50% (both
amounts inclusive) of the voting rights in a company, and if such person (or parties acting in concert with such person) acquires additional voting shares representing more than 1% of
the voting rights in such company in any six-month period, must, except with the consent of SIC, extend a mandatory take-over offer for all the remaining voting shares in accordance
with the provisions of the Singapore Take-over Code. Responsibility for ensuring compliance with the Singapore Take-over Code rests with parties (including company directors) to a
take-over or merger and their advisors.
Under the Singapore Take-over Code, “parties acting in concert” comprise individuals or companies who, pursuant to an agreement or understanding (whether formal or informal),
cooperate, through the acquisition by any of them of shares in a company, to obtain or consolidate effective control of that company. Certain persons are presumed (unless the
presumption is rebutted) to be acting in concert with each other. They are as follows:
• a company, its parent company, subsidiaries and fellow subsidiaries (together, the “related companies”), the associated companies of any of the company and its related
companies, companies whose associated companies include any of these foregoing companies and any person who has provided financial assistance (other than a bank in the
ordinary course of business) to any of the foregoing for the purchase of voting rights;
• a company with any of its directors (together with their close relatives, related trusts and companies controlled by any of the directors, their close relatives and related trusts);
• a company with any of its pension funds and employee share schemes;

• a person with any investment company, unit trust or other fund whose investment such person manages on a discretionary basis but only in respect of the investment account
which such person manages;
• a financial or other professional adviser, including a stockbroker, with its client in respect of the shareholdings of the adviser and persons controlling, controlled by or under the
same control as the adviser;
• directors of a company (together with their close relatives, related trusts and companies controlled by any of such directors, their close relatives and related trusts) which is
subject to an offer or where the directors have reason to believe a bona fide offer for the company may be imminent;
• partners; and
• an individual and (i) such person’s close relatives, (ii) such person’s related trusts, (iii) any person who is accustomed to act in accordance with such person’s instructions, (iv)
companies controlled by the individual, such person’s close relatives, such person’s related trusts or any person who is accustomed to act in accordance with such person’s
instructions and (v) any person who has provided financial assistance (other than a bank in the ordinary course of business) to any of the foregoing for the purchase of voting
rights.
Subject to certain exceptions, a mandatory offer must be in cash or be accompanied by a cash alternative at not less than the highest price paid by the offeror or parties acting in concert
with the offeror during the offer period and within the six months prior to its commencement.
Under the Singapore Take-over Code, where effective control of a company is acquired or consolidated by a person, or persons acting in concert, a general offer to all other shareholders
is normally required. An offeror must treat all shareholders of the same class in an offeree company equally. A fundamental requirement is that shareholders in the company subject to
the take-over offer must be given sufficient information, advice and time to enable them to reach an informed decision on the offer. These legal requirements may impede or delay a
takeover of the Company by a third-party.
Untraced Shareholders
Our Constitution provides that the Board may forfeit any dividend and/or other monies payable in respect of a share which has remained unclaimed for six years from the date when such
monies became due for payment. In addition, we are entitled to cease sending dividend cheques and bank drafts by post or otherwise if such instruments have been returned
undelivered to, or left uncashed on at least two consecutive occasions or, following one such occasion, reasonable enquires have failed to establish the new address to which such
instruments are to be delivered. This entitlement ceases if a dividend is claimed or dividend cheque or bank draft is cashed.

Compulsory Acquisition of Shares Held by Minority Holders
An acquiring party is generally able to acquire compulsorily the ordinary shares of minority holders in the following ways:
• By a procedure under the Singapore Companies Act known as a “scheme of arrangement”. Where a scheme of arrangement is proposed between a company and its members or
any class of them, the company may apply to the Singapore Court for permission to convene a meeting of members. If such permission is obtained, a majority in number and
representing three-fourths in value of the members or class of members present and voting either in person or by proxy at the meeting must approve of the scheme. The scheme
must then be approved by order of the Singapore Court and the order takes effect on and from the date on which a copy of the order is lodged with ACRA or such earlier date
as the Singapore Court may determine and as may be specified in the order. Once all the aforementioned are completed, the members or class of members are compelled to sell
their shares under the terms of the scheme.
• A person (the “acquiring party”) may compulsorily acquire all the shares of a company or all of the shares in any particular class in a company if his offer (via a scheme or
contract) involving the transfer of all of the shares of such company or all of the shares in said particular class in such company to the acquiring party has, within four months
after the making of said offer, been approved by the holders of not less than 90% of the total number of shares (excluding treasury shares) or of the shares of that class (other
than shares already held at the date of the offer by the acquiring party, and excluding any shares in such company held as treasury shares). In such a case, the acquiring party
may at any time within two months, after the offer has been so approved, give notice in the prescribed manner to any dissenting shareholder of the company that it desires to
acquire such dissenting shareholder’s shares; and when such a notice is given the acquiring party is, unless on an application made by the dissenting shareholder within one
month from the date on which the notice was given or within 14 days after a statement containing the names and addresses of all other dissenting shareholders as shown in the
company’s register of members is posted by the company to the dissenting shareholder (whichever is the later) the Court thinks fit to order otherwise, entitled and bound to
acquire those shares on the terms which, under the scheme or contract the shares of the approving shareholders are to be transferred to the acquiring party or if the offer
contained two or more alternative sets of terms upon the terms which were specified in the offer as being applicable to dissenting shareholders.
Shareholder Minority Rights
The rights of minority shareholders of Singapore companies are protected under section 216 of the Singapore Companies Act. The Singapore Court has a general power to make any
order, upon application by any member or holder of a debenture of a company, as they think fit to remedy any of the following situations:
• the affairs of a company are being conducted or the powers of the directors are being exercised in a manner oppressive to, one or more of the members or holders of debentures
including the applicant or in disregard of his, her or their interests as members, shareholders or holders of debentures of the company; or
• some act of the company has been done or is threatened or some resolution of the members, holders of debentures or any class of them has been passed or is proposed which
unfairly discriminates against or is otherwise prejudicial to one or more of the members or holders of debentures (including the applicant).

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 2.2 Created using Broadridge PROfile
If the Singapore Court is of the opinion that either of the aforementioned grounds is established, the Singapore Court may, with a view to bringing to an end or remedying the matters
complained of, make an order as it thinks fits and, without limiting the forgoing, the order may:
• direct or prohibit any act or cancel or vary any transaction or resolution;
• regulate the conduct of the affairs of the company in the future;
• authorise civil proceedings to be brought in the name of, or on behalf of, the company by a person or persons and on such terms as the Singapore Court may direct;
• provide for the purchase of the shares or debentures of the company by other members or holders of debentures of the company or by the company itself;
• in the case of a purchase of shares by the company provide for a reduction accordingly of the company’s capital; or
• provide that the company be wound up.
In addition, section 216A of the Singapore Companies Act allows, inter alia, any member of a company (the “complainant”) to apply to the Singapore Court for permission to bring an
action or arbitration in the name and on behalf of the company or intervene in an action or arbitration to which the company is a party for the purpose of prosecuting, defending or
discontinuing the action or arbitration on behalf of the company.
However, the Singapore Court will not grant permission unless the Singapore Court is satisfied that:
• the complainant has given 14 days’ notice to the directors of the company of the complainant’s intention to apply to the Singapore Court for permission if the directors of the
company do not bring, diligently prosecute or defend or discontinue the action or arbitration;
• the complainant is acting in good faith; and
• it appears to be prima facie in the interests of the company that the action or arbitration be brought, prosecuted, defended or discontinued.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under the Singapore Companies Act, any provision that purports to exempt or indemnify an officer of a company (including directors) from any liability that would otherwise attach to
them in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company is void.
However, a company is not prohibited from: (1) purchasing and maintaining for an officer insurance against liability attaching to him or her in connection with any negligence, default,
breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company; or (2) indemnifying the officer against liability incurred by him or her to a person other than the company except when the
indemnity is against any liability of the officer (i) to pay a fine in criminal proceedings or (ii) to pay a penalty to a regulatory authority in respect of non-compliance with any requirements
of a regulatory nature (howsoever arising) or when the indemnity is against any liability incurred by the officer (a) in defending criminal proceedings in which he or she is convicted, (b)
in defending civil proceedings brought by the company or a related company in which judgment is given against him or her, or (c) in connection with an application for relief under
section 76A(13) or section 391 of the Singapore Companies Act in which the relevant court refuses to grant him or her relief.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 2.2 Created using Broadridge PROfile
Our Constitution provides that, subject to the Singapore Companies Act and Applicable Law, every director, secretary or other officer acting in relation to any of the affairs of the
Company or any subsidiary thereof and the liquidator or trustees (if any) acting in relation to any of the affairs of the Company or any subsidiary thereof and every one of them (whether
for the time being or formerly), and their heirs, executors and administrators (each of which, an “indemnified party”), shall be indemnified and secured harmless out of the assets of the
Company from and against all actions, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses which they or any of them, their heirs, executors or administrators, shall or may incur or sustain by
or by reason of any act done, concurred in or omitted in or about the execution of their duty, or supposed duty, or in their respective offices or trusts, and no indemnified party shall be
answerable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of the others of them or for joining in any receipts for the sake of conformity, or for any bankers or other persons with whom any
moneys or effects belonging to the Company shall or may be lodged or deposited for safe custody, or for deficiency of title to any property acquired by order of the Board for or on
behalf of the Company, or for insufficiency or deficiency of any security upon which any moneys of or belonging to the Company shall be placed out on or invested, or for any loss or
damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or tortious act of any person with whom any monies, securities or effects shall be deposited or left or for any other loss, misfortune or
damage which may happen in the execution of their respective offices or trusts, or in relation thereto, provided that this indemnity shall not extend to any matter in respect of any
negligence, default, breach of duty, breach of trust, fraud or dishonesty in relation to the Company which may attach to any of the indemnified parties.
We may in the future enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers. These agreements would require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent
permitted under Singapore law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which
they could be indemnified (on terms that the full amount of such advances is to be repaid if the individual is convicted in the relevant proceeding (with such conviction being final), final
judgment is given against the individual in the relevant proceeding or, as the case may be, the Singapore Court refuses to grant the individual relief on the application (with such refusal
of relief being final)), save that the Company shall not provide any indemnity (to any extent) to a director or an officer against any liability attaching to him in connection with any
negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the Company save for the circumstances as permitted pursuant to section 172A and section 172B of the Singapore
Companies Act. These indemnification rights would not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of our
Constitution, agreement, vote of Members or disinterested directors or otherwise.
We expect to maintain standard policies of insurance that provide coverage (1) to our directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other
wrongful act and (2) to us with respect to indemnification payments that we may make to such directors and officers.

Anti-takeover Effect of Certain Provisions of our Constitution
Business Combinations
Our Constitution contains certain regulations regarding “business combinations” between Hafnia and “Interested Shareholders”. Specifically, our Constitution prohibits us from
engaging in a “business combination” with certain persons for three years following the date the person becomes an Interested Shareholder. Interested Shareholders generally include:
• any person who is the owner of 15% or more of our issued and outstanding voting shares and their affiliates or associates; or
• any person who is our affiliate or associate and was the owner of 15% or more of our issued and outstanding voting shares at any time within the three-year period immediately
prior to the date on which it is sought to be determined whether such person is an Interested Shareholder and their affiliates and associates.
Subject to certain exceptions, a business combination includes, among other things:
• certain mergers, amalgamations or consolidations of the Company or any entity directly or indirectly wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiary by the Company (the
“Subsidiary”);
• any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions), except proportionately as a shareholder of the
Company, to or with the Interested Shareholder, of assets of the Company or any Subsidiary having an aggregate market value equal to 10% or more of either the aggregate
market value of all of the assets of the Company determined on a consolidated basis, or the aggregate market value of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company;
• certain transactions that result in the issuance or transfer by the Company or any Subsidiary of any shares of the Company or such Subsidiary to the Interested Shareholder;
• any transaction involving the Company or any Subsidiary that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of any class or series of stock, or securities convertible into
any class or series of shares of the Company or any Subsidiary, which is owned by the Interested Shareholder; and
• any receipt by the Interested Shareholder of the benefit directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a shareholder of the Company) of any loans, advances, guarantees,
pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the Company or any Subsidiary.
These provisions of our Constitution will not apply to a business combination if:
• before a person became an Interested Shareholder, the Board approved either the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an Interested
Shareholder;
• upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an Interested Shareholder, the Interested Shareholder owned at least 85% of our voting shares
outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than certain excluded shares;
• at or following the transaction in which the person became an Interested Shareholder, the business combination is approved by the Board and authorised at an annual or
extraordinary general meeting by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company that are not owned by the
Interested Shareholder;
• a Member became an Interested Shareholder inadvertently and (i) as soon as practicable divested itself of ownership of sufficient shares so that the Member ceased to be an
Interested Shareholder; and (ii) would not, at any time within the three-year period immediately prior to a business combination between us and such Member, have been an
Interested Shareholder but for the inadvertent acquisition of ownership; or

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 2.2 Created using Broadridge PROfile
• the business combination is proposed prior to the consummation or abandonment of, and subsequent to the earlier of the public announcement or a notice required under our
Constitution of, a proposed transaction which (i) constitutes one of the transactions described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) below; (ii) is with or by a person who either was not an
Interested Shareholder during the previous three years or who became an Interested Shareholder with the approval of the Board; and (iii) is approved or not opposed by a
majority of the members of the Board then in office (but not less than one) who were directors prior to any person becoming an Interested Shareholder during the previous three
years or were recommended for election or elected to succeed such directors by a majority of such directors. The proposed transactions referred to in the preceding sentence
are limited to:
(a) a merger or consolidation of the Company (except for a merger in respect of which, pursuant to the Singapore Companies Act, no vote of our shareholders is required);
(b) a sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions), whether as part of a dissolution or otherwise, of
assets of the Company or of any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of ours (other than to the Company or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary)
having an aggregate market value equal to 50% or more of either the aggregate market value of all of the assets of the Company determined on a consolidated basis or the
aggregate market value of all the issued and outstanding shares of the Company; or
(c) a proposed tender or exchange offer for 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company.
Advance notice requirements for Member proposals for election as a director
Our Constitution provides that Members of the Company who seek to propose any person for election as a director at a general meeting must give notice to the Company of the
intention to propose him and of his willingness to serve as director not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days before the anniversary of the last annual general meeting. Our
Constitution also specifies requirements as to the form and content of such notice.
These provisions may impede Shareholders’ ability to bring matters before an annual general meeting.
Exclusive Jurisdiction
Our Constitution provides that any dispute concerning the Singapore Companies Act or out of or in connection with the Constitution, including any question regarding the existence
and scope of any regulation and/or whether there has been any breach of the Singapore Companies Act or the Constitution by an officer or director (whether or not such a claim is
brought in the name of a shareholder or in the name of the Company), shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore. Our Constitution further provide that
unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution
of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act, as amended, of the United States of America.

Our Shareholders should note that they cannot waive compliance with United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for United States federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities
Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. If mandatory laws or other regulations designate the forum for certain causes of action, there is a high likelihood that such designed
applicable forum will not be set aside because of the exclusive jurisdiction provision in our Constitution.
Disclosure of Interests in Company Securities
Members must make such notifications to us regarding their interests in us as they are required to make under all applicable rules and regulations to which we are subject. Additionally,
with reference to the applicable Norwegian and United States rules, this means that a Shareholder must notify us when their proportion of interests in our total issued shares exceeds 5%.
If a person’s, entity’s or consolidated group’s proportion of the total issued shares and/or rights to shares in a company listed on a regulated market in Norway (with Norway as its home
state, which will be the case for the Company) reaches, exceeds or falls below the respective thresholds of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 1/3, 50%, 2/3 or 90% of the share capital or the
voting rights of that company, the person, entity or group in question has an obligation under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act to notify Oslo Børs and the issuer immediately. The
same applies if the disclosure thresholds are passed due to other circumstances, such as a change in the company’s share capital.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The United States transfer agent and registrar for our ordinary shares is Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, LLC, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717, United States of America.
The Norwegian transfer agent and registrar for our ordinary shares is DNB Bank ASA represented by the Registrar’s Department, P.O. Box 1600 Sentrum, 0021 Oslo, Norway.
Comparison of Shareholder Rights
Following our re-domiciliation to Singapore, we are governed by the laws of Singapore. The following chart summarizes some of the material differences between the rights of holders of
our ordinary shares and the rights of holders of the common stock of a typical corporation incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware, which result from differences in
governing documents and the laws of Singapore and Delaware.
This discussion is not and does not purport to be a complete or comprehensive statement of the rights of holders of our ordinary shares under the applicable legislation and regulations
in Singapore, a typical constitution of a Singapore company (a “Singapore Constitution”) and our Constitution or the rights of holders of the common stock of a typical corporation
under applicable Delaware law and a typical certificate of incorporation and bylaws of a Delaware corporation (“Delaware Organizational Documents”).

Delaware Singapore
Board of Directors
Delaware Organizational Documents generally provide that the number of directors on the
board of directors will be fixed from time to time by a vote of the majority of the authorised
directors. Under Delaware law, a board of directors can be divided into classes and
cumulative voting in the election of directors is only permitted if expressly authorised in a
corporation’s certificate of incorporation.
A Singapore Constitution generally states the minimum and maximum (if any) number of
directors as well as provides that the number of directors may be increased or reduced by
ordinary resolution passed at a general meeting, provided that the number of directors
following such increase or reduction is within the maximum (if any) and minimum number of
directors provided in the constitution and the Singapore Companies Act, respectively.
 
The Board must also consist of at least one director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore.
Our Constitution provides that the minimum number of directors is three and that the Board
shall consist of such number in excess thereof as the Members may determine.
Interested Shareholders
Section 203 of the DGCL generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in
specified corporate transactions (such as mergers, stock and asset sales, and loans) with
an “interested stockholder” for three years following the time that the stockholder
becomes an interested stockholder. Subject to specified exceptions, an “interested
stockholder” is a person or group that owns 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding
voting stock (including any rights to acquire stock pursuant to an option, warrant,
agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion or exchange
rights, and stock with respect to which the person has voting rights only), or is an affiliate
or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the voting stock at
any time within the previous three years.
There are no comparable provisions under the Singapore Companies Act with respect to
public companies which are not listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading
Limited.
 
However, our Constitution includes an interested shareholder provision that is based on
Section 203 of the DGCL.

Delaware Singapore
A Delaware corporation may elect to “opt out” of, and not be governed by, Section 203
through a provision in either its original certificate of incorporation, or an amendment to its
original certificate or bylaws that was approved by majority stockholder vote. With a
limited exception, this amendment would not become effective until 12 months following its
adoption.
Removal of Directors
Delaware Organizational Documents generally provide that, subject to the rights of holders
of any preferred stock, directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority, or in some instances a supermajority,
of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors, voting together as a single class. A certificate of incorporation could
also provide that such a right is only exercisable when a director is being removed for
cause. Removal of a director only for cause is the default rule in the case of a classified
board. In the case of a corporation having cumulative voting, if less than the entire board
is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against such
director’s removal would be sufficient to elect such director if then cumulatively voted at
an election of the entire board of directors, or, if there be classes of directors, at an election
of the class of directors of which such director is a part.
Under the Singapore Companies Act, directors of a public company may be removed
before expiration of their term of office, despite anything in its constitution or in any
agreement between the public company and such directors, by ordinary resolution. Where
any director removed in this manner was appointed to represent the interests of any
particular class of shareholders or debenture holders, the resolution to remove such
director does not take effect until such director’s successor has been appointed.
Notice of the intention to move a resolution to remove a director must be given to the
company not less than 28 days before the meeting at which it is moved. The company
shall then give its shareholders notice of such resolution at the same time and in the same
manner as it gives notice of the meeting or, if that is not practicable, must give them notice
thereof, in any manner allowed by the constitution, not less than 14 days before the
meeting, but if after notice of the intention to move such a resolution has been given to
the company, a meeting is called for a date 28 days or less after the notice has been given,
the notice, although not given to the company within the time required by this section, is
deemed to be properly given.

Filling Vacancies on the Board of Directors
Delaware Organizational Docuents generally provide that, subject to the rights of the
holders of any preferred stock, any vacancy, whether arising through death, resignation,
retirement, disqualification, removal, an increase in the number of directors or any other
reason, may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors, even if such directors
remaining in office constitute less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. In the
case of a corporation with a classified board of directors, any newly elected director
usually holds office for the remainder of the full term expiring at the annual meeting of
stockholders at which the term of the class of directors to which the newly elected director
has been elected expires, and until their successors have been elected and qualified.
A typical Singapore Constitution provides that the directors have the power to appoint
any person to be a director, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing
directors, but so that the total number of directors shall not at any time exceed the
maximum number (if any) fixed by or in accordance with the constitution.
 
Our Constitution provides that the Company in general meeting or the Board shall have
the power, to appoint any person as a director to fill a vacancy on the Board occurring as a
result of the death, disability disqualification or resignation of any director or as a result of
an increase in the size of the Board, and to appoint an alternate director to any director so
appointed, provided that any such director by the Board, shall hold office only until the
next annual general meeting or until their successors are elected or appointed or their
office is otherwise vacated.
Amendment of Governing Documents
Under the DGCL, amendments to a corporation’s certificate of incorporation require the
approval of stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on
the amendment, subject to limited exceptions. If a class vote on the amendment is required
by the DGCL, a majority of the outstanding stock of the class is required, unless a greater
proportion is specified in the certificate of incorporation or by other provisions of the
DGCL. Under the DGCL, the board of directors may amend bylaws if so authorised in the
certificate of incorporation. The stockholders of a Delaware corporation also have the
power to amend bylaws.
Under the Singapore Companies Act, the constitution of a company may be altered or
added to by special resolution.
An entrenching provision may be included in the constitution with which a company is
formed and at any time be inserted into the constitution only if all the members of the
company agree. An entrenching provision is a provision of the constitution to the effect
that other specified provisions of the constitution may not be altered in the manner
provided by the Singapore Companies Act or may not be so altered except (i) by a
resolution passed by a specified majority greater than 75% (the minimum majority required
by the Singapore Companies Act for a special resolution) or (ii) where other specified
conditions are met. The Singapore Companies Act provides that such entrenching
provision may be removed or altered only if all the members of the company agree.
Our Constitution provides that no regulation of our Constitution shall be rescinded,
altered or amended and no new regulation shall be made until the same has been approved
by a resolution of the Board and by a special resolution of the Members. The Board has
no power to amend the Constitution unilaterally.

Meetings of Shareholders
Annual and Special Meetings
Bylaws generally provide that annual meetings of stockholders are to be held on a date
and at a time fixed by the board of directors. Under the DGCL, a special meeting of
stockholders may be called by the board of directors or by any other person authorised to
do so in the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws.
Annual General Meetings
Under the Singapore Companies Act, all companies are required to hold an annual general
meeting after the end of each financial year within either four months (in the case of a
public company that is listed on an exchange in Singapore approved by the Monetary
Authority of Singapore) or six months (in the case of any other company).
We are required to hold an annual general meeting within six months after the end of each
financial year. Our first financial year after the redomiciliation will end on December 31,
2024 and subsequent financial years will end on the last day of a period of 12 months after
the end of the previous financial year.
 
Extraordinary General Meetings
Any general meeting other than the annual general meeting is called an “extraordinary
general meeting”. Under the Singapore Companies Act, the directors of a company,
despite anything in its constitution, must on the requisition of members holding at the
date of the deposit of the requisition not less than 10% of the total number of paid‑up
shares as at the date of the deposit carries the right of voting at general meetings or, in the
case of a company not having a share capital, of members representing not less than 10%
of the total voting rights of all members having at that date a right to vote at general
meetings, immediately proceed duly to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the
company to be held as soon as practicable but in any case not later than two months after
the receipt by the company of the requisition.

If the directors do not within 21 days after the date of the deposit of the requisition
proceed to convene a meeting, the Singapore Companies Act provides that the
requisitionists, or any of them representing more than 50% of the total voting rights of all
of them, may themselves, in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which
meetings are to be convened by directors convene a meeting, but any meeting so
convened must not be held after the expiration of three months from that date.
In addition, under the Singapore Companies Act, two or more members holding not less
than 10% of our total number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) may call a
meeting of the company.
Our Constitution provides that, inter alia, the Board may convene an extraordinary general
meeting whenever in their judgement such a meeting is necessary.
Notice Requirements
Written notice must be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the meeting.
Whenever shareholders are required to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the
meeting must be given that states the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, and the
means of remote communication, if any.
Notice Requirements
A meeting of a company, other than a meeting for the passing of a special resolution, must
be called by written notice of not less than 14 days or such longer period as is provided in
the constitution. For the passing of a special resolution, in the case of a public company,
not less than 21 days’ written notice must be given. See “—Removal of Directors” for the
notice requirement to move a resolution to remove a director.

Quorum Requirements
Under the DGCL, a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws can specify the
number of shares and/or the amount of other securities having voting power, the holders
of which shall be present or represented by proxy at any meeting in order to constitute the
quorum required to conduct business at a meeting, provided that in no event shall a
quorum consist of less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting.
Quorum Requirements
Under the Singapore Companies Act unless the constitution provides otherwise, two
members of the company personally present form a quorum. Our Constitution provides
that the quorum at any general meeting shall be two or more persons present in person
throughout the meeting and representing in person or by proxy in excess of 33% the total
issued and outstanding shares. If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time
appointed for the meeting, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of members, shall
be deemed to be cancelled. In any other case, the meeting shall be adjourned for one week,
at the same time and place or to such other day and time or place as the Company
secretary may determine. Unless the meeting is adjourned to a specific date, time and place
announced at the meeting being adjourned, fresh notice of the resumption of the meeting
shall be given to each Member entitled to attend and vote thereat in accordance with the
Constitution.
Members’ Rights at Meetings
 
The Singapore Companies Act provides that every member shall, despite any provision in
the constitution, have a right to attend any general meeting of the company and to speak
on any resolution before the meeting. In the case of a company limited by shares, the
holder of a share may vote on a resolution before a general meeting of the company if, in
accordance with the Singapore Companies Act, the share confers on the holder a right to
vote on that resolution. Our Constitution provides that a Member shall not be entitled to
vote at a general meeting unless all calls or other sums personally payable on all shares
held by such Member have been paid.

Shares in a public company may confer special, limited or conditional voting rights or not
confer voting rights. In this regard, different classes of shares in a public company may be
issued only if the issue of the class or classes of shares is provided for in the constitution
of the public company and such constitution sets out in respect of each class of shares
the rights attached to that class of shares. A public company shall not undertake any
issuance of shares that confer special, limited or conditional voting rights or that confer no
voting rights unless it is approved by its members by special resolution.
Circulation of Resolutions
Under the Singapore Companies Act, a company must on the requisition of (a) any number
of members representing not less than 5% of the total voting rights of all the members
having at the date of requisition a right to vote at a meeting to which the requisition relates
or (b) not less than 100 members holding shares on which there has been paid up an
average sum, per member, of not less than SGD 500, and unless the company otherwise
resolves, at the expense of the requisitionists, (i) give to members of the company entitled
to receive notice of the next annual general meeting notice of any resolution which may
properly be moved and is intended to be moved at that meeting, and (ii) circulate to
members entitled to receive notice of any general meeting sent to them any statement of
not more than 1,000 words with respect to the matter referred to in any proposed
resolution or the business to be dealt with at that meeting.

Limitation on Personal Liability of Directors and Indemnification of Officers, Directors
and Employees
Under the DGCL, a certificate of incorporation may provide for the elimination of personal
monetary liability of directors for breach of fiduciary duties as directors to the fullest extent
permissible under the laws of Delaware, except for liability (i) for any breach of a director’s
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174
of the DGCL (relating to the liability of directors for unlawful payment of a dividend or an
unlawful stock purchase or redemption) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit. A typical certificate of incorporation also provides
that if the DGCL is amended so as to allow further elimination of, or limitations on, director
liability, then the liability of directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL as so amended.
Subject to specified limitations in the case of derivative suits brought by a corporation’s
stockholders in its name, a corporation may indemnify any person who is made a party to
any third-party action, suit or proceeding on account of being a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation (or was serving at the request of the corporation in such
capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise)
against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action,
suit or proceeding through, among other things, a majority vote of a quorum consisting of
directors who were not parties to the suit or proceeding, if the person:
• acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation or, in some circumstances, at least
not opposed to its best interests; and
• in a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful.
Under the Singapore Companies Act, any provision (whether contained in a company’s
constitution or in any contract with the company or otherwise) that purports to exempt an
officer of the company (to any extent) from any liability that would otherwise attach to him
or her in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in
relation to a company is void. However, a company is not prohibited from: (a) purchasing
and maintaining for any such officer insurance against any liability attaching to him or her
in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to
the company; or (b) indemnifying the officer against liability incurred by him or her to a
person other than the company except when the indemnity is against any liability of the
officer (i) to pay a fine in criminal proceedings, or (ii) to pay a sum to a regulatory authority
by way of a penalty in respect of non-compliance with any requirements of a regulatory
nature (howsoever arising) or when the indemnity is against any liability incurred by the
officer (i) in defending criminal proceedings in which he or she is convicted, (ii) in
defending civil proceedings brought by the company or a related company in which
judgment is given against him or her, or (iii) in connection with an application for relief
under section 76A(13) or section 391 of the Singapore Companies Act in which the
relevant court refuses to grant him or her relief.
Where proceedings are commenced against an officer of a company for negligence,
default, breach of duty or breach of trust and it appears to the court before which the
proceedings are taken that the officer acted honestly and reasonably and that having
regard to all the circumstances of the case, including those in connection with the officer’s
appointment, the officer ought fairly to be excused for the negligence, default or breach,
the relevant court may relieve the officer wholly or partly from liability on such terms as
the court thinks fit.

Delaware corporate law permits indemnification by a corporation under similar
circumstances for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
such persons in connection with the defence or settlement of a derivative action or suit,
except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which the person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless the Delaware Court of
Chancery or the court in which the action or suit was brought determines upon application
that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses which the
court deems to be proper.
To the extent a director, officer, employee or agent is successful in the defence of such an
action, suit or proceeding, the corporation is required by Delaware corporate law to
indemnify such person for reasonable expenses incurred thereby. Expenses (including
attorneys’ fees) incurred by such persons in defending any action, suit or proceeding may
be paid in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt
of an undertaking by or on behalf of that person to repay the amount if it is ultimately
determined that that person is not entitled to be so indemnified.
Our Constitution provides that, subject to the Singapore Companies Act and Applicable
Law, every director, secretary or other officer acting in relation to any of the affairs of the
Company or any subsidiary thereof and the liquidator or trustees (if any) acting in relation
to any of the affairs of the Company or any subsidiary thereof and every one of them
(whether for the time being or formerly), and their heirs, executors and administrators (each
of which, an “indemnified party”), shall be indemnified and secured harmless out of the
assets of the Company from and against all actions, costs, charges, losses, damages and
expenses which they or any of them, their heirs, executors or administrators, shall or may
incur or sustain by or by reason of any act done, concurred in or omitted in or about the
execution of their duty, or supposed duty, or in their respective offices or trusts, and no
indemnified party shall be answerable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of the
others of them or for joining in any receipts for the sake of conformity, or for any bankers
or other persons with whom any moneys or effects belonging to the Company shall or may
be lodged or deposited for safe custody, or for deficiency of title to any property acquired
by order of the Board for or on behalf of the Company, or for insufficiency or deficiency of
any security upon which any moneys of or belonging to the Company shall be placed out
on or invested, or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or
tortious act of any person with whom any monies, securities or effects shall be deposited
or left or for any other loss, misfortune or damage which may happen in the execution of
their respective offices or trusts, or in relation thereto, provided that this indemnity shall
not extend to any matter in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty, breach of
trust, fraud or dishonesty in relation to the Company which may attach to any of the
indemnified parties.

The Constitution also provides that the Company may advance monies to a director or
officer for the costs charges and expenses incurred by the director or officer in defending
any civil or criminal proceedings against him, on condition that the director or officer shall
repay the advance if any allegation of fraud or dishonesty in relation to the Company is
proved against him.
Shareholder Approval of Issuances of Shares
Under Delaware law, the board of directors has the authority to issue, from time to time,
capital stock in its sole discretion, as long the number of shares to be issued, together with
those shares that are already issued and outstanding and those shares reserved to be
issued, do not exceed the authorised capital for the corporation as previously approved by
the stockholders and set forth in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation. Under such
circumstances, no additional stockholder approval is required for the issuance of capital
stock. Under Delaware law, stockholder approval is required (i) for any amendment to the
corporation’s certificate of incorporation to increase the authorised capital and (ii) for the
issuance of stock in a direct merger transaction where the number of shares exceeds 20%
of the corporation’s shares outstanding prior to the transaction, regardless of whether
there is sufficient authorised capital.
Under the Singapore Companies Act, despite anything in a company’s constitution, the
directors must not exercise any power of the company to issue shares without prior
approval of the company in general meeting. Such approval once obtained continues in
force until the conclusion of the annual general meeting commencing after the date on
which the approval was given or the expiration of the period within which the next annual
general meeting after that date is required by law to be held, whichever is earlier, but any
approval may be revoked or varied by the company in general meeting. Additional
approval of the Company in general meeting may also be required with respect to certain
future issuances of ordinary shares in accordance with the NYSE Listed Company Manual,
as described under “Issuance of New Shares” above.

Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations
Generally, under the DGCL, completion of a merger, consolidation, or the sale, lease or
exchange of substantially all of a corporation’s assets or dissolution requires approval by
the board of directors and by a majority (unless the certificate of incorporation requires a
higher percentage) of outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote.
 
The DGCL also requires a special vote of stockholders in connection with a business
combination with an “interested stockholder” as defined in Section 203 of the DGCL. See
“— Interested Shareholders” above.
The Singapore Companies Act mandates that specified corporate actions require approval
by the company in general meeting, notably:
 
• despite anything in the company’s constitution, directors are not permitted to carry
into effect any proposals for disposing of the whole or substantially the whole of the
company’s undertaking or property unless those proposals have been approved by
the company in general meeting;
• subject to the constitution of each amalgamating company, an amalgamation proposal
must be approved by the members of each amalgamating company via special
resolution at a general meeting; and
• despite anything in the company’s constitution, the directors must not, without the
prior approval of the company in general meeting, issue shares.
Our Constitution provides that notwithstanding anything in the Constitution, the
Company shall not carry into effect any proposals for disposing of the whole or
substantially the whole of the Company’s undertaking or property unless those proposals
have been approved at a general meeting via the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the
issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company.
Shareholder Action Without a Meeting
Under the DGCL, unless otherwise provided in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation,
any action that may be taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting,
without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth
the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the
minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorise or take such action at a
meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted in the manner
required by Section 228 of the DGCL.
There are no equivalent provisions under the Singapore Companies Act in respect of
public companies that are listed on a securities exchange outside Singapore, like our
Company.

Shareholder Suits
Under the DGCL, a stockholder may bring a derivative action on behalf of the corporation
to enforce the rights of the corporation. An individual also may commence a class action
suit on behalf of himself or herself and other similarly situated stockholders where the
requirements for maintaining a class action under the DGCL and any applicable Delaware
Court Rules have been met. A person may institute and maintain such a suit only if such
person was a stockholder at the time of the transaction which is the subject of the suit or
his or her shares thereafter devolved upon him or her by operation of law.
 
Additionally, under Delaware case law, the plaintiff generally must be a stockholder not
only at the time of the transaction which is the subject of the suit, but also through the
duration of the derivative suit. Delaware Court Rules also require that the derivative
plaintiff make a demand on the directors of the corporation to assert the corporate claim
before the suit may be prosecuted by the derivative plaintiff, unless such demand would
be futile.
Standing
 
Only persons who are registered in our Register of Members are recognized under
Singapore law as Members of our Company. As a result, only registered Members have
legal standing under Singapore law to institute shareholder actions against us, our
directors or our executive officers or otherwise seek to enforce their rights as Members of
the Company in the Singapore courts. Any such action would be subject to applicable
Singapore laws. Holders of book-entry interests in our shares may become registered
Members through exchanging their book-entry interests for certificated shares and
becoming registered in our Register of Members.
Please note that the administrative process of becoming a registered member could result
in delays that could be prejudicial to any legal proceeding or enforcement action.

A member or holder of a debenture of a company may apply to the Singapore Court for an
order under section 216 of the Singapore Companies Act to remedy situations where (i)
the company’s affairs are being conducted or the powers of the company’s directors are
being exercised in a manner oppressive to, or in disregard of the interests of, one or more
of the members or holders of debentures of the company, including the applicant or in
disregard of his, her or their interests as members, shareholders, or holders of debentures
of the company; or (ii) the company has done an act, or threatens to do an act, or the
members or holders of debentures or any class of them have proposed or passed some
resolution, which unfairly discriminates against, or is otherwise prejudicial to, one or more
of the members or holders of debentures, including the applicant.
 
The Singapore Court has wide discretion as to the relief they may grant under such
application, including, inter alia, directing or prohibiting any act or cancelling or varying
any transaction or resolution, providing that the company be wound up, or authorizing
civil proceedings to be brought in the name of or on behalf of the company by such
person or persons and on such terms as the Singapore Court directs.
Derivative actions and arbitrations
Section 216A of the Singapore Companies Act provides a mechanism enabling, inter alia,
any member of a company to apply to the Singapore Court for permission to bring an
action or arbitration in the name and on behalf of the company or intervene in an action or
arbitration to which the company is a party for the purpose of prosecuting, defending or
discontinuing the action or arbitration on behalf of the company. Applications are
generally made by members of the company, but the Singapore Court is given the
discretion to allow such persons as the Singapore Court deems proper to apply (e.g.,
beneficial owner of shares).

Prior to commencing a derivative action or arbitration, the Singapore Court must be
satisfied that (i) 14 days’ notice has been given to the directors of the company of the
member’s intention to make such an application if the directors of the company do not
bring, diligently prosecute or defend or discontinue the action or arbitration, (ii) the
member is acting in good faith and (iii) it appears to be prima facie in the interests of the
company that the action or arbitration be brought, prosecuted, defended or discontinued.
Class actions
The concept of class action suits in the United States, which allows individual
shareholders to bring an action seeking to represent the class or classes of shareholders,
does not exist in the same manner in Singapore. Under the Singapore Rules of Court 2021
where numerous persons have a common interest in any proceedings, such persons may
sue or be sued as a group with one or more of them representing the group. Where a
group of persons is suing as a group, all persons in the group must give their consent in
writing to the representative to represent all of them in the action and they must be
included in the list of claimants attached to the originating application or claim.
Distributions and Dividends; Repurchases and Redemptions
The DGCL permits a corporation to declare and pay dividends out of statutory surplus or,
if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the financial year in which the dividend is
declared and/or for the preceding financial year as long as the amount of capital of the
corporation following the declaration and payment of the dividend is not less than the
aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all
classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets.
The Singapore Companies Act provides that no dividends can be paid to shareholders of
any company except out of profits. The Singapore Companies Act does not provide a
definition on when profits are deemed to be available for the purpose of paying dividends
and this is accordingly governed by case law.
Our Constitution provides that no dividend (final or interim) shall be paid to shareholders
except out of the profits of the Company.

Acquisition of a corporation’s own shares
Under the DGCL, every corporation may purchase, redeem, receive, take or otherwise
acquire, own and hold, sell, lend, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of, pledge, use
and otherwise deal in and with its own shares, except that generally it may not purchase or
redeem these shares for cash or other property if the capital of the corporation is impaired
at the time or would become impaired as a result of the purchase or redemption. However, a
corporation may purchase or redeem out of capital shares that are entitled upon any
distribution of its assets to a preference over another class or series of its shares if the
shares are to be retired and the capital reduced.
Acquisition of a company’s own shares
The Singapore Companies Act provides that (except as otherwise expressly provided by
the Singapore Companies Act) a company must not, whether directly or indirectly, in any
way acquire shares or units of shares in the company or purport to acquire shares or units
of shares in a holding company or ultimate holding company, as the case may be, of the
company. Any contract or transaction made or entered into in contravention of the
aforementioned prohibition is void.
However, provided that it is expressly permitted to do so by its constitution and subject to
the conditions of each permitted acquisition contained in the Singapore Companies Act, a
company may, generally:
• redeem redeemable preference shares on such terms and in such manner as is provided
by its constitution. Preference shares must not be redeemed unless they are fully paid
up and must not be redeemed out of the capital of the company unless all the
directors make a solvency statement in relation to such redemption in accordance with
the Singapore Companies Act, and the company lodges a copy of the statement with
ACRA;
 
• whether or not it is listed on an exchange in Singapore approved by the Monetary
Authority of Singapore or any securities exchange outside Singapore, make an off-
market purchase of its own shares in accordance with an equal access scheme
authorised in advance by the company in general meeting;

• make a selective off-market purchase of its own shares in accordance with an
agreement authorised in advance by the company in general meeting by a special
resolution where persons whose shares are to be acquired and their associated
persons have abstained from voting;
• whether or not it is listed on an exchange in Singapore approved by the Monetary
Authority of Singapore or any securities exchange outside Singapore, make an
acquisition of its own shares under a contingent purchase contract which has been
authorised in advance by a special resolution of the company; and
• where listed on a securities exchange, make an acquisition of its own shares on the
securities exchange, unless the purchase or acquisition has been authorized in
advance by the company in general meeting.
A company may also purchase its own shares by an order of the Singapore Court.
The total number of ordinary shares and stocks in any class that may be purchased or
acquired by a company during the relevant period must not exceed 20% (or such other
prescribed percentage) of the total number of ordinary shares and stocks of the company
in that class as of the date of the resolution passed to authorise the purchase or
acquisition of the shares, unless the company has, at any time during the relevant period,
reduced its share capital by a special resolution or the Singapore Court has, at any time
during the relevant period, made an order approving the reduction of share capital of the
company. If such is the case, the total number of ordinary shares and stocks of the
company in any class shall be taken to be the total number of ordinary shares and stocks
of the company in that class as altered by the special resolution or the order of the
Singapore Court approving the capital reduction (as the case may be).

For these purposes, the term “relevant period” means the period commencing from the
date a relevant resolution is passed and expiring on the date the next annual general
meeting is or is required by law to be held, whichever is the earlier.
Financial assistance for the acquisition of shares
A public company or a company whose holding company or ultimate holding company is a
public company shall not give financial assistance to any person whether directly or
indirectly for the purpose of or in connection with:
 
• the acquisition or proposed acquisition of shares in the company or units of such
shares; or
• the acquisition or proposed acquisition of shares in its holding company or ultimate
holding company (as the case may be), or units of such shares.
Financial assistance may take the form of a loan, the giving of a guarantee, the provision
of security, the release of an obligation, the release of a debt or otherwise.
However, a company may provide financial assistance for the acquisition of its shares or
shares in its holding company or ultimate holding company if it complies with the
requirements (which may include approval by special resolution) set out in the Singapore
Companies Act.

Our Constitution provides that the Company may purchase its own shares for cancellation
or acquire them as treasury shares in accordance with the Singapore Companies Act on
such terms as the Board shall think fit. However, save to the extent permitted by the
Singapore Companies Act, none of the funds of the Company or of any subsidiary thereof
shall be directly or indirectly employed in the purchase or subscription of or in loans upon
the security of the Company’s shares.
Transactions with Officers or Directors
Under the DGCL, no contract or transaction between a corporation and one or more of its
directors or officers, or between a corporation and any other corporation, partnership,
association, or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers, are
directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this
reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting
of the board or committee which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because
any such director’s or officer’s votes are counted for such purpose, if:
• the material facts as to the director’s or officer’s relationship or interest and as to the
contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the board of directors or the
committee, and the board or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or
transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even
though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or
• the material facts as to the director’s or officer’s relationship or interest and as to the
contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to
vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith
by vote of the stockholders; or
Under the Singapore Companies Act, directors and the chief executive officer of a
company are not prohibited from dealing with the company, but where they have an
interest, whether directly or indirectly, in a transaction or proposed transaction with the
company, that interest must be disclosed as soon as practicable after the relevant facts
have come to his or her knowledge, at a meeting of the directors of the company or by a
written notice sent to the company detailing the nature, character and extent of his or her
interest in the transaction or proposed transaction with the company.
In addition, a director or chief executive officer who holds any office or possesses any
property whereby, whether directly or indirectly, any duty or interest might be created in
conflict with their duties or interests as director or chief executive officer (as the case may
be) must declare the fact and the nature, character and extent of the conflict at a meeting of
directors or send a written notice to the company detailing the fact and the nature,
character and extent of the conflict.

Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum

The Singapore Companies Act extends an interest of a director or chief executive officer
(as the case may be) to include an interest of a member of the director’s or chief executive
officer’s family (as the case may be), which includes his or her spouse, son, adopted son,
stepson, daughter, adopted daughter and stepdaughter.
However, there is no requirement for disclosure where the interest of the director or chief
executive officer consists only of being a member or creditor of a corporation which is
interested in the transaction or proposed transaction with the company if the interest may
properly be regarded as immaterial.
Where the transaction or the proposed transaction relates to any loan to the company, the
director or chief executive officer (as the case may be) is not deemed to be interested or to
have been at any time interested in any transaction or proposed transaction by reason
only that he or she has guaranteed or joined in guaranteeing the repayment of such loan,
unless the constitution provides otherwise.
Further, where the transaction or the proposed transaction has been or will be made with
or for the benefit of a related corporation as defined under the Singapore Companies Act,
the director or chief executive officer shall not be deemed to be interested or at any time
interested in such transaction or proposed transaction by reason only that he is a director
or chief executive officer (as the case may be) of the related corporation, unless the
constitution provides otherwise.
Subject to specified exceptions, the Singapore Companies Act restricts a company (other
than an exempt private company) from, among others, (i) making a loan or a quasi-loan to
its directors or to directors of a corporation deemed to be related under the Singapore
Companies Act (each a “relevant director”) or giving a guarantee or security in
connection with such a loan or quasi-loan, (ii) entering into a credit transaction as creditor
for the benefit of a relevant director, or giving a guarantee or any security in connection
with such a credit transaction, (iii) arranging an assignment to or assumption by the
company of any rights, obligations or liabilities under a transaction which, if it had been
entered into by the company, would have been a restricted transaction, and (iv) taking
part in an arrangement under which another person enters into a transaction which, if
entered into by the company, would have been a restricted transaction and such person
obtains a benefit from the company or a company deemed related under the Singapore
Companies Act. Companies are also restricted from entering into any of the
aforementioned transactions with the spouse or children (whether adopted or natural or
step-children) of its directors.
Subject to specified exceptions, the Singapore Companies Act prohibits a company (other
than an exempt private company) from, among others, making a loan or a quasi-loan to
another company, variable capital company or a limited liability partnership or entering into
any guarantee or providing any security in connection with a loan or a quasi-loan made to
another company, variable capital company or a limited liability partnership by a person
other than the first-mentioned company, entering into a credit transaction as a creditor for
the benefit of another company, variable capital company or a limited liability partnership,
or entering into any guarantee or providing any security in connection with a credit
transaction entered into by any person for the benefit of another company, variable capital
company or a limited liability partnership if a director or directors of the first-mentioned
company is or together are interested in 20% or more of the total voting power in the other
company, variable capital company or the limited liability partnership (as the case may be),
unless there is prior approval by the company in general meeting for the making of,
provision for or entering into the loan, quasi‑loan, credit transaction, guarantee or security
(as the case may be) at which the interested director or directors, and his, her or their
family members, abstained from voting.

Delaware Singapore
Such prohibition shall extend to apply to, among others, a loan or quasi-loan made by a
company (other than an exempt private company) to another company or a limited liability
partnership, a credit transaction made by a company (other than an exempt private
company) for the benefit of another company or limited liability partnership, and a
guarantee entered into or security provided by a company (other than an exempt private
company) in connection with a loan or quasi‑loan made to another company or a limited
liability partnership by a person other than the firstmentioned company or with a credit
transaction made for the benefit of another company or a limited liability partnership
entered into by a person other than the firstmentioned company, where such other
company or limited liability partnership is incorporated or formed (as the case may be)
outside Singapore, if a director or directors of the first-mentioned company (a) is or
together are interested in 20% or more of the total voting power in the other company or
limited liability partnership or (b) in a case where the other company does not have a share
capital, exercises or together exercise control over the other company whether by reason
of having the power to appoint directors or otherwise.
For this purpose, the Singapore Companies Act provides that an interest of a member of a
director’s family, including the director’s spouse, son, adopted son, stepson, daughter,
adopted daughter and stepdaughter, is treated as the interest of the director.
Dissenters’ Rights
Under the DGCL, a stockholder of a corporation who (i) holds share of stock on the date of
the making of a demand pursuant to the DGCL with respect to such shares, (ii) continues
holding such shares through the effective date of certain types of major corporate
transactions (e.g., mergers or consolidations), (iii) has otherwise complied with the
requirements of the DGCL and (iv) has voted neither in favor of the transaction nor
consented there to in writing, may, under varying circumstances, be entitled to appraisal
rights pursuant to which the stockholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair market
value of his or her shares in lieu of the consideration he or she would otherwise receive in
the transaction.
Generally, there are no equivalent provisions in Singapore under the Singapore Companies
Act.
In the case of amalgamation proposals, the Singapore Court, only if satisfied that giving
effect to an amalgamation proposal would unfairly prejudice a member or creditor of an
amalgamating company, or to a person to whom an amalgamating company is under an
obligation, may, on the application of that person made at any time before the date on
which the amalgamation becomes effective, make any order in relation to the amalgamation
proposal on such terms or conditions as the Singapore Court thinks fit.
Cumulative Voting
Under the DGCL, the Delaware Organizational Documents may provide that its directors
shall be elected by cumulative voting. When directors are elected by cumulative voting, at
all elections of directors of the corporation, or at elections held under specified
circumstances, each holder of stock or of any class or classes or of a series or series
thereof shall be entitled to as many votes as shall equal the number of votes which (except
for such provision as to cumulative voting) such holder would be entitled to cast for the
election of directors with respect to such holder’s shares of stock multiplied by the number
of directors to be elected by such holder, and that such holder may cast all of such votes
for a single director or may distribute them among the number to be voted for or for any
two or more of them as such holder may see fit.
There are no equivalent provisions in Singapore under the Singapore Companies Act.

Anti-Takeover Measures
Under the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation may give the board the right to issue new
classes of preferred stock with voting, conversion, dividend distribution, and other rights
to be determined by the board at the time of issuance, which could prevent a takeover
attempt.
In addition, Delaware law does not prohibit a corporation from adopting a stockholder
rights plan, or “poison pill,” which could prevent a takeover attempt.
Singapore law does not generally prohibit a company from adopting “poison pill”
arrangements which could prevent a takeover attempt and also preclude shareholders from
realizing a potential premium over the market value of their shares. However, the directors,
in their discharge of their fiduciary duties, are required to consider any possible
transaction and act in the best interests of the company.
Under the Singapore Take-over Code which generally applies to corporations with a
primary listing in Singapore, unlisted public companies with more than 50 shareholders
and net tangible assets of S$5 million or more, if, in the course of an offer, or even before
the date of the offer announcement, the board of the offeree company has reason to
believe that a bona fide offer is imminent, the board must not, except pursuant to a
contract entered into earlier, take any action, without the approval of shareholders at a
general meeting, on the affairs of the offeree company that could effectively result in any
bona fide offer being frustrated or the shareholders being denied an opportunity to decide
on its merits.

pledging, lending).
4. EXPLANATION OF THE TERM "INSIDE INFORMATION"
4.1 General
The term Inside Information means any information of a "precise nature" relating directly or indirectly to financial instruments or the issuer thereof which "has not been made public",
and which is likely to have a "significant effect" on the price of those financial instruments.
4.2 Information of a "precise nature"
The requirement that the information must be of a "precise nature" relates to the specificity of the information and the existence of, or likelihood of future, price sensitive events and/or
circumstances. Only events or circumstances that exist or reasonably may be expected to come into existence will be considered "precise". In addition, the information must be specific
enough to enable a conclusion to be drawn as to the possible effect of that set of circumstances or event on the prices of the financial instruments or the related derivative financial
instrument, meaning that the information must be more than rumors, assumptions and speculations. In this respect in the case of a protracted process that is intended to bring about, or
that results in, particular circumstances or a particular event, those future circumstances or that future event, and also the intermediate steps of that process which are connected with
bringing about or resulting in those future circumstances or that future event, may be deemed to be precise information. Even an intermediate step in a protracted process shall be
deemed to be Inside Information if, by itself, it satisfies the criteria set out in this section 4.
4.3 "Significant effect" on the price
The requirement that the information must have a "significant effect", means that the information is likely to be used by a reasonable investor as part of his/hers investment decisions. It
is not a requirement that the information enables the price to be "moved" above or below a certain specific threshold, meaning that most expected changes in the price could be sufficient
to fulfil this requirement.
4.4 Information that "has not been made public"
Only information that "has not been made public" will be deemed to constitute inside information. Inside information relating to HAFNIA must in principle be disclosed to the market
pursuant to HAFNIA'S on-going reporting obligations. If inside information becomes publicly available through other means, it will no longer constitute Inside Information (but the
incident could represent a violation of HAFNIA'S disclosure obligations). Press releases on NewsWeb are regarded as public information. Information about undisclosed financial
results or a possible merger, amalgamation, acquisition or other material development, whether concerning HAFNIA or otherwise, and obtained in the normal course of employment or
through a rumor, tip or just "loose talk", is not public information.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 11.3 Created using Broadridge PROfile
4.5 Events that may typically be considered Inside Information
It is not possible to define all categories of information that could be considered as Inside Information. Inside Information may be positive or negative. While it may be difficult to
determine whether particular information is Inside Information, there are various categories of information that are particularly sensitive and, as a general rule, should always be handled
with due care as it is reasonable that it will constitute Inside Information. Examples of such information include:
• financial results;
• new equity or debt offerings;
• entry into a material agreement or discussions regarding entry into a material agreement;
• projections of future earnings or losses;
• a proposed merger, amalgamation or acquisition;
• sale or acquisition of material assets;
• gain or loss of a substantial customer; and
• project announcements of a significant nature.
Each employee and member of the board of directors has a duty to continually assess whether information that he/she receives or gains access to by virtue of his/her position or office
in HAFNIA may be considered to be, or is likely to become, Inside Information. Any person who gains knowledge of such information shall immediately notify the CFO. If the employee
or elected officer is in doubt as to whether or not the relevant information qualifies as Inside Information, he/she shall regardless of his/her doubts immediately contact the CFO.
5. THE DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF HAFNIA
5.1 Public disclosure of Inside Information
As a general rule, HAFNIA shall publicly disclose Inside Information regarding HAFNIA'S Financial Instruments through NewsPoint as soon as possible and, if relevant, use such media
as may reasonably be relied upon for the effective dissemination of information to the public throughout Europe and the officially appointed mechanism in Norway from time to time.
The disclosure of Inside Information shall clearly identify (i) that the information communicated is inside information, (ii) the full legal name of HAFNIA, (iii) the name, surname and
position within HAFNIA of the person making the notification, (iv) the subject matter of the inside information and (v) the date and time of the communication to the media.
HAFNIA shall not combine the disclosure of Inside Information to the public with the marketing of its activities.
Once made public, all Inside Information must be available on HAFNIA'S website for at least five years from the same time as disclosure of Inside Information. The posts on the website
shall clearly indicate date and time of disclosure and that the information is organised in chronological order.
5.2 Delayed public disclosure of Inside Information
HAFNIA may delay the publication of Inside Information if the following conditions are met:
a) immediate disclosure is likely to prejudice the legitimate interests of HAFNIA;
b) delay of disclosure is not likely to mislead the public;
c) HAFNIA is able to ensure the confidentiality of that information.
If delayed disclosure of Inside Information is resolved:
a) the Oslo Stock Exchange's market surveillance department shall immediately be informed on a confidential basis of the matter;
b) HAFNIA shall keep a list of persons with access to the Inside Information in InsiderLog;

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 11.3 Created using Broadridge PROfile
c) the CFO shall make a written record of the delayed disclosure in the format attached hereto as Appendix 1 or by making a written record with the same information in InsiderLog
when establishing an insider list as required by paragraph b) above; and
d) where the confidentiality of the Inside Information is no longer ensured, HAFNIA shall disclose that Inside Information to the public as soon as possible, including situations
where a rumour explicitly relates to Inside Information, where that rumour is sufficiently accurate to indicate that the confidentiality of that information is no longer ensured.
Where HAFNIA has delayed the disclosure of Inside Information, it shall immediately after the Inside Information is disclosed to the public:
a) inform the Oslo Stock Exchange that disclosure of the Inside Information was delayed through completing the applicable form available as a module in NewsPoint and thereby
providing information to the Oslo Stock Exchange about (i) the full legal name of HAFNIA, (ii) the name, title, e-mail address and phone number of the person making the
notification, (iii) identification of the publicly disclosed Inside Information that was subject to delayed disclosure, (iv) date and time of the decision to delay the disclosure of
Inside Information and (v) the identity of all persons responsible for the decision to delay the public disclosure of Inside Information; and
b) upon request by the Norwegian FSA and/or to the Oslo Stock Exchange, provide a written explanation of how the conditions for delayed disclosure were met.
5.3 Insider lists
As soon as a decision has been made to delay public disclosure, the CFO shall establish and maintain an insider list of every person who has access to the relevant Inside Information
and who are working for HAFNIA under a contract of employment, or otherwise performing tasks through which they have access to Inside Information, such as advisers, accountants
or credit rating agencies
The insider list shall be established and maintained through InsiderLog.
A new insider list should be established and maintained upon the identification of new Inside Information. Each insider list shall only include details of individuals having access to the
Inside Information relevant to that insider list.
The list must be kept and stored confidential in InsiderLog by ensuring that access to the insider list is restricted to clearly identified persons from within HAFNIA.
The CFO shall appoint a person who is responsible for maintaining the insider list.
An automatic message from InsiderLog shall be sent to the persons on the list informing them that they have been included on the list of insiders, as well as the duties and
responsibilities that this entails, and the criminal liability that applies for any use of such information. Each person on the insider list receiving such automatic message shall
acknowledge receipt of the automatic message.
A new automatic message from InsiderLog shall be sent to the persons on the list informing them once the insider list is terminated.
The insider list shall be deposited in InsiderLog after the last time it is updated and be retained for five years from the date it was last updated.
The list shall be submitted to the Norwegian FSA and/or to the Oslo Stock Exchange upon request.
The CFO can delegate the responsibility of maintaining the list to the advisor as far as the advisor's own handling of Inside Information is concerned. In such a situation, one contact
person with the advisor shall be listed on HAFNIA'S own insider list.
5.4 Project list
If deemed appropriate, the CFO shall establish and maintain a project list for each project which is of such a scope or of such a nature that it involves information which is particularly
sensitive and important for HAFNIA and which may subsequently become Inside Information. The purpose of the project list is to raise awareness of the duty of confidentiality. The list
shall be maintained as a "sensitivity list" in InsiderLog.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 11.3 Created using Broadridge PROfile
5.5 Disclosure of notifiable Transactions by Primary Insiders and Close Associates
Upon receipt of notifications of Transactions from the Primary Insider or Close Associate as further described in section 7.3 below, the CFO shall promptly, and no later than within two
trading days disclose the Transaction in question through NewsPoint in the format attached hereto as Appendix 2, and, if relevant, use such media as may reasonably be relied upon for
the effective dissemination of information to the public throughout Europe and the officially appointed mechanism in Norway from time to time. Most of the information required to
complete the form attached hereto as Appendix 2 will included in the receipt which the Primary Insider and Close Associate, as applicable, can request when submitting the form to the
Norwegian FSA, as further described below.
5.6 Other disclosure obligations
HAFNIA is, regardless of whether the information in question constitute Inside Information or not, required to immediately disclose the events required to be disclosed pursuant to the
membership rules of the Oslo Stock Exchange. If such events must be assumed to constitute Inside Information, HAFNIA may delay disclosure in accordance with section 5.2 above.
5.7 Financial reporting
With regard to non-consolidated financial results at business area level, an assessment must be made of whether the results can be regarded as Inside Information in each individual
case, in the same way as for other sensitive information.
The conditions for delayed public disclosure must be assessed on a case by case basis. If delayed disclosure of Inside Information is resolved, HAFNIA is not required to inform the
Oslo Stock Exchange on a confidential basis when resolving to delay disclosure, but HAFNIA is required to comply with all other requirements set out in section 5.2 above, including
keep an insider list, make a written record and inform the Oslo Stock Exchange that disclosure of the information was delayed when disclosing the Inside Information.
HAFNIA'S financial department shall continually assess whether the financial results for a given period reveal substantial variances (significantly worse or better) from expectations
created by HAFNIA, i.e. expectations that can be traced back to information provided by HAFNIA itself. This assessment must be carried out in consultation with the CFO. If
appropriate, the CFO shall decide whether a profit warning should be published.
5.8 List of Primary Insiders and their Close Associates
The CFO shall maintain an up-to-date list of Primary Insiders and their Close Associates, regardless of whether the person in question owns Financial Instruments, and submit such
register to the Oslo Stock Exchange through NewsPoint. Each Primary Insider is responsible for informing the CFO of any changes to its Close Associates. The Oslo Stock Exchange will
disclose the list of Primary Insiders, while the list of Close Associates will be kept confidential.
5.9 Notification of obligations to Primary Insiders
HAFNIA shall notify the Primary Insiders of their obligations as Primary Insiders pursuant to these Instructions and Article 19 of MAR in writing in the format attached hereto as
Appendix 3.
6. THE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF ALL INDIVIDUALS
6.1 Introduction
Each person who receives Inside Information regarding HAFNIA'S Financial Instruments shall act in accordance with the prohibitions and duties that are described in further detail
below.
This section is not necessarily a complete list of duties and responsibilities. Each person being in possession of Inside Information is obliged to keep him or herself updated as to the
legislative framework concerning Inside Information from time to time.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 11.3 Created using Broadridge PROfile
6.2 Prohibition of use of Inside Information
No person shall conduct any Transactions in Financial Instruments if he/she has Inside Information regarding Financial Instruments. This prohibition applies to every natural and legal
person, indirect and direct trading, and trading both for own account and for a third party's account, irrespective of form of settlement. The prohibition also applies to attempts and
incitement to trade, i.e. persons who have Inside Information regarding Financial Instruments are not permitted to give other persons advice or in any way influence other persons to
carry out or refrain from carrying out Transactions in Financial Instruments.
The above applies correspondingly to the entry into, purchase, sale or exchange of options or forward/futures contracts or similar rights (including financial derivatives) related to such
Financial Instruments or incitement to carry out such Transactions.
The prohibition only applies to Transactions that can be characterized as use of Inside Information. Whether or not the Transaction constitutes use must be assessed in each individual
case.
The use of Inside Information by cancelling or amending an order concerning a Financial Instrument to which the information relates where the order was placed before the person
concerned possessed the Inside Information, is also considered as unlawful use of inside information.
6.3 Duty of confidentiality
Inside Information is confidential information, and shall not be given to or in other ways made available to any unauthorized persons. Any person who has Inside Information has a duty,
when handling such information, to exercise due care in order to ensure that Inside Information does not come into the possession of unauthorized persons or is used. Further details of
routines for ensuring secure handling of Inside Information may be found in the document attached hereto as Appendix 5.
The information may only be communicated or made available to another person where the disclosure is made in the normal exercise of the employment, profession or duties of the
person disclosing the information.
Any person who communicates Inside Information, or makes such information available to another person, has an independent responsibility for ensuring that the person who is given
access to the relevant Inside Information is simultaneously made aware of the duties and responsibilities entailed by the receipt of such information, including the duty of confidentiality,
the duty of proper handling of the information and the duty not to use it. The above applies regardless of whether the recipient is an employee, elected officer, an external advisor and/or
a business connection of HAFNIA.
If Inside Information is communicated or made available to another person, the person responsible for maintaining the insider list and/or the CFO shall be notified immediately, and if
possible, before the information is communicated. The person responsible for maintaining the insider list shall immediately include the person in question on the relevant insider list if
the person is working for HAFNIA under a contract of employment, or otherwise performing tasks through which he or she has access to the Inside Information.
Compliance with this duty of information is essential for HAFNIA to ensure that Inside Information is properly managed in accordance with its duties. Further, compliance with this duty
of information also enables HAFNIA to maintain an insider list pursuant to these Instructions, and to ensure that the persons who are given access to Inside Information are made aware
of the responsibilities that knowledge of Inside Information entails pursuant to the rules set out in these Instructions.
6.4 Liability, etc.
Illegal use of Inside Information is a criminal offence pursuant to the Securities Trading Act and may result in fines and up to six years imprisonment. Unlawful disclosure of Inside
Information may be punished by fines and up to four years imprisonment. Contravention of the notification requirements for Primary Insiders and Close Associates may be punished by
fines and up to one year imprisonment. In addition, non-compliance with Norwegian law or any of the prohibitions and obligation set out in these Instructions may result in liability for
damages to HAFNIA and/or other parties pursuant to Norwegian law, as well as dismissal from the position he/she has in HAFNIA.

7. ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS FOR PRIMARY INSIDERS AND THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES
7.1 Applicability
Primary Insiders and their Close Associates are subject to special duties and responsibilities which are described in this Section.
7.2 Obligation to clear Transactions
Before carrying out, or inciting other persons to carry out or to refrain from carrying out, one or more Transactions, Primary Insiders must obtain clearance in writing from the CFO. Such
request for clearance shall be submitted, and be responded to, by e-mail. Any request for clearance put forward by the CFO, must be submitted to and handled by the chairman of the
board of directors of HAFNIA. The CFO or the chairman of the board of directors (as the case may be) can only provide clearance after first having performed a proper investigation of
whether there is any Inside Information in HAFNIA.
If the CFO or the chairman of the board of directors (as the case may be) finds that there exists Inside Information, the request for clearance may be denied, and always, without
providing any explanation. In considering a request for clearance, the question of whether Inside Information is or will in fact be known to the person requesting clearance may be
disregarded, and the existence thereof shall constitute sufficient basis to reject a request.
The request for clearance must be responded to in writing (by e-mail) by the CFO/chairman within 1 week from the time of receiving a request for clearance. If a binding agreement is not
concluded seven days after receiving clearance, a new clearance is required.
The CFO/chairman shall not give any grounds for rejection of a request for clearance.
7.3 Duty of notification
The Primary Insider or his/her Close Associates shall promptly and no later than three business days after the date of the Transaction notify both HAFNIA in the format attached hereto
as Appendix 2 and the Norwegian FSA via the link made available on https://www.finanstilsynet.no/en/topics/market-abuse-regulation-mar-in-norway/ of every Transaction conducted
on its own account relating to the Financial Instruments of HAFNIA once a threshold of EUR 5,000 has been reached (see below). Upon receipt of the notification from the Primary
Insider or Close Associate, the CFO shall promptly, and no later than within two trading days disclose the Transaction in question through NewsPoint in the format attached hereto as
Appendix 2 and as further described in section 5.5. above. Most of the information required to complete the form attached hereto as Appendix 2 will included in the receipt which the
Primary Insider and Close Associate, as applicable, can request when submitting the form to the Norwegian FSA.
The notification requirement applies to any subsequent Transaction once a total amount of EUR 5,000 has been reached within a calendar year. The threshold of EUR 5,000 shall be
calculated by adding without netting all Transactions of the person obligated to notify the Transaction. When calculating whether the threshold has been reached, the Transactions
carried out by a Primary insider and by Close Associates to that Primary Insider should not be aggregated.
If Transactions are carried out in a currency which is not the EUR, the exchange rate to be used to determine if the threshold is reached is the daily euro foreign exchange reference rate
published by the European Central Bank. For the purpose of the price to consider for donations, gifts and inheritance, one should use the last published price for the Financial
Instrument concerned on the date of acceptance of the donation, gift or inheritance (i.e. the date of the Transaction), or where such price is not available that day, the last published
price. As to the rules to calculate the price of options granted for free to managers or employees, the options should be based on the economic value assigned to the options by the
issuer when granting them. However, the price field for options granted for free to managers or employees is expected to be nil.

7.4 Closed periods
A Primary insider shall not carry out Transactions on its own account or for the account of a third party, directly or indirectly, in the Financial Instruments of HAFNIA during a closed
period of 30 calendar days before the announcement of an interim financial report or a year-end report which the issuer makes public. With particular reference to the year-end financial
report, the "announcement" is the public statement whereby the issuer announces, in advance to the publication of the final year-end report, the preliminary financial results agreed by
the management body of HAFNIA and that will be included in that report. This can apply only if the disclosed preliminary financial results contain all the key information relating to the
financial figures expected to be included in the year-end report and satisfy the IAS 34 (or equivalent as applicable) requirements. In the event the financial information in the annual
report deviates from what is publicly announced, this will not trigger another closed period before the publication of the annual report, but may be addressed as potential Inside
Information required to be disclosed pursuant to sections 5.1 and 5.2 above.
The CFO may permit a Primary Insider to conduct any Transactions in a closed period on a case-by-case basis due to, inter alia, the existence of exceptional circumstances, such as
severe financial difficulty, which require the immediate sale of shares or due to the characteristics of the Transaction made, always subject to the criteria set out in as Appendix 6.
7.5 Notification of obligations
Primary Insiders shall notify its Close Associates of their obligations as Close Associates pursuant to these Instructions and Article 19 of MAR in writing in the format attached hereto
as Appendix 4 and shall keep a copy of this notification.
7.6 General exercise of due care
Primary Insiders and their Close Associates shall refrain from short-term Transactions in Financial Instruments or other instruments linked to shares in HAFNIA, and should generally
exercise due care in the period of ownership.

Appendix 5 – Routines for secure handling of inside information
1 Technical devices
• Use password protection on PC, tablets, phones and other electronic devices that contain Inside Information. Change password on a routinely basis.
• Do not store Inside Information locally in PC hard disks.
• Make sure you have solutions in place for remote disabling of phones/tablets that are synced with your email, in case of loss/theft.
• Always log off devices with access to Inside Information before leaving them.
2 Document handling
• Protect documents. All documents with Inside Information should be sent via secure channels or be secured with password protection.
• Be careful when distributing Inside Information. Do not distribute Inside Information directly by email, but put the information in a password protected document (Word,
PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, etc.)
• Limited access to files and documents. In certain events as decided by the chief financial officer/investor relation officer, documents should be placed in restricted folders. In
such cases, chief financial officer/investor relation officer is responsible ensuring that no unauthorized person has access to such restricted folders and documents. User access
can only be given by requesting this by email to chief financial officer/investor relation officer.
• Consider carefully whether you need to keep Inside Information as printed documents. Each individual is responsible for ensuring that confidential information kept as printed
documents does not get in possession of unauthorized persons.
• Be careful when printing. Do not print documents through printers in common areas without picking up the print immediately.
• Do not use memory sticks unless they are password protected. They can easily be lost.
• Secure physical documents: When leaving your work space: make sure to lock in documents. Documents should be shredded once there is no need to keep them. Documents
that are put away to be destroyed or shredded must be put in a secure box, not through regular recycling.
3 Personal routines
• Be careful when mentioning anything related to Inside Information. Do not discuss Inside Information in front of others, either by phone or through regular conversations.
• Communication channels. Consider if communication through written channel is secured, or if it should be done through verbal channels.
• Clean desk. Especially when handling Inside Information kept through physical documents.
• "Clean room". Make sure to never leave documents with Inside Information at meeting rooms or common areas. Also, secure clean boards; remove flip-over-sheets and all
other traces when leaving the room.
• Misplaced Inside Information. If you get access to or find documents that might be Inside Information, for instance at a printer, in meeting rooms or other areas, make sure to
inform the chief financial officer/investor relation officer and destroy the documents immediately.

Appendix 6 – Criteria for trading in closed periods
1. HAFNIA may only allow a Primary Insider within it to trade on its own account or for the account of a third party during a closed period if permitted pursuant to MAR and
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/522 supplementing MAR, meaning, either:
(a) on a case-by-case basis due to the existence of exceptional circumstances, such as severe financial difficulty, which require the immediate sale of shares; or
(b) due to the characteristics of the trading involved for transactions made under, or related to, an employee share or saving scheme, qualification or entitlement of
shares, or transactions where the beneficial interest in the relevant security does not change; and
the Primary Insider is able to demonstrate that the particular transaction cannot be executed at another moment in time than during the closed period.
2. In the circumstances set out in 1(a) above, prior to any trading during the closed period, a Primary Insider shall provide a reasoned written request to HAFNIA for obtaining
HAFNIA'S permission to proceed with immediate sale of shares of that issuer during a closed period. The written request shall describe the envisaged transaction and provide
an explanation of why the sale of shares is the only reasonable alternative to obtain the necessary financing.
3. When deciding whether to grant permission to proceed with immediate sale of its shares during a closed period, an issuer shall make a case-by-case assessment of a written
request referred to above. HAFNIA shall have the right to permit the immediate sale of shares only when the circumstances for such transactions may be deemed exceptional.
Such circumstances shall be considered to be exceptional when they are extremely urgent, unforeseen and compelling and where their cause is external to the Primary Insider
and the Primary Insider has no control over them. When examining whether the circumstances described in the written request are exceptional, HAFNIA shall take into account,
among other indicators, whether and to the extent to which the Primary Insider:
(a) is at the moment of submitting its request facing a legally enforceable financial commitment or claim;
(b) has to fulfil or is in a situation entered into before the beginning of the closed period and requiring the payment of sum to a third party, including tax liability, and
cannot reasonably satisfy a financial commitment or claim by means other than immediate sale of shares.
4. HAFNIA shall have the right to permit the Primary Insider within HAFNIA to trade on its own account or for the account of a third party during a closed period, including but
not limited to circumstances where that Primary Insider:
(a) had been awarded or granted financial instruments under an employee scheme, provided that the following conditions are met:
a. the employee scheme and its terms have been previously approved by HAFNIA in accordance with national law and the terms of the employee scheme
specify the timing of the award or the grant and the amount of financial instruments awarded or granted, or the basis on which such an amount is
calculated and given that no discretion can be exercised;
b. the Primary Insider does not have any discretion as to the acceptance of the financial instruments awarded or granted;
(b) had been awarded or granted financial instruments under an employee scheme that takes place in the closed period provided that a pre-planned and organised
approach is followed regarding the conditions, the periodicity, the time of the award, the group of entitled persons to whom the financial instruments are granted and
the amount of financial instruments to be awarded, the award or grant of financial instruments takes place under a defined framework under which any inside
information cannot influence the award or grant of financial instruments;

(c) exercises options or warrants or conversion of convertible bonds assigned to him under an employee scheme when the expiration date of such options, warrants or
convertible bonds falls within a closed period, as well as sales of the shares acquired pursuant to such exercise or conversion, provided that all of the following
conditions are met:
a. the Primary Insider notifies HAFNIA of its choice to exercise or convert at least four months before the expiration date;
b. the decision of the Primary Insider is irrevocable;
c. the Primary Insider has received the authorisation from HAFNIA prior to proceed;
(d) acquires HAFNIA'S financial instruments under an employee saving scheme, provided that all of the following conditions are met:
a. the Primary Insider has entered into the scheme before the closed period, except when it cannot enter into the scheme at another time due to the date of
commencement of employment;
b. the Primary Insider does not alter the conditions of his participation into the scheme or cancel his participation into the scheme during the closed period;
c. the purchase operations are clearly organised under the scheme terms and that the Primary Insider has no right or legal possibility to alter them during
the closed period, or are planned under the scheme to intervene at a fixed date which falls in the closed period;
(e) transfers or receives, directly or indirectly, financial instruments, provided that the financial instruments are transferred between two accounts of the Primary Insider
and that such a transfer does not result in a change in price of financial instruments;
(f) acquires qualification or entitlement of shares of HAFNIA and the final date for such an acquisition, under HAFNIA'S statute, bye-law or such other constitutional
documents falls during the closed period, provided that the Primary Insider submits evidence to HAFNIA of the reasons for the acquisition not taking place at
another time, and HAFNIA is satisfied with the provided explanation.

The notification obligation does not apply to:
20. Transactions in financial instruments linked to shares or to debt instruments of the issuer referred to in that paragraph where at the time of the transaction any of the
following conditions is met:
(a) the financial instrument is a unit or share in a collective investment undertaking in which the exposure to the issuer's shares or debt instruments does not exceed 20 %

portfolio's assets;
(c) the financial instrument is a unit or share in a collective investment undertaking or provides exposure to a portfolio of assets and the person discharging managerial
responsibilities or a Close Associate does not know, and could not know, the investment composition or exposure of such collective investment undertaking or
portfolio of assets in relation to the issuer's shares or debt instruments, and furthermore there is no reason for that person to believe that the issuer's shares or debt
instruments exceed the thresholds in point (a) or (b).
If information regarding the investment composition of the collective investment undertaking or exposure to the portfolio of assets is available, then the Primary Insider or a
Close Associate shall make all reasonable efforts to avail themselves of that information.

undertaking in which the Primary Insider or Close Associate has invested do not need to be notified where the manager of the collective investment undertaking operates
with full discretion, which excludes the manager receiving any instructions or suggestions on portfolio composition directly or indirectly from investors in that collective
investment undertaking.

Exhibit 15.3
Hafnia Limited – Corporate Governance Report – 2024
Hafnia Limited (“Hafnia” or the “Company”) was a company incorporated in Bermuda limited by shares until 1 October 2024 when the Company was registered in Singapore as a public
company limited by shares following its redomiciliation from Bermuda to Singapore (the “Redomiciliation”). The Company is listed on the Oslo Børs (the “Oslo Stock Exchange”) and the
New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”).
This corporate governance report for the financial year 2024 (this “Report”) is prepared by the Company pursuant to section 4.4 of the Euronext Oslo Rule Book II – Issuer Rules and
section 2-9 of the Norwegian Accounting Act. Hafnia has for the financial year 2024 prepared a sustainability report (the “2024 Sustainability Report”) in accordance with the rules in the
Norwegian Accounting Act implementing the EU Accounting Directive, as amended by the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The 2024 Sustainability Report includes
a description of the Company’s guidelines and policies regarding equality and diversity and their impact during the financial year 2024. For a description of such guidelines and policies,
reference is made to Hafnia’s 2024 Sustainability Report.
This Report provides an overview of Hafnia’s key corporate governance practices regarding the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance dated 14 October 2021 issued by
the Norwegian Corporate Governance Board (the “Code”). The Code is available at www.nues.no. Each individual point of the Code is reviewed and if the Company deviates from the
Code, explanations are provided.
This Report has been prepared following Hafnia’s Redomiciliation to Singapore and reflects the corporate governance framework the Company has applied as a Singapore entity, which
is in accordance with Singapore law or common practices for Singapore companies. However, where certain practices differed between Bermuda and Singapore, Hafnia has provided
explanations in the relevant sections. Because this Report covers the year 2024, during which the Company was Bermuda company then became a Singapore company upon completion
of the Redomiciliation, discussion of the Company’s practices pursuant to both its Bermuda bye-laws and its constitution (“Constitution”) is included. Any discussion of the
Company’s bye-laws (or Bermuda law) refers to the period prior to the Redomiciliation and any discussion of the Constitution (or Singapore law) refers to the period following the
Redomiciliation.
For the year 2024, unless stated otherwise, Hafnia has complied with all material aspects laid out in the Code sections. Each individual section of the Code is discussed in the following,
and any deviations from the Code are set out and explained.
Section of the Code Deviations
1 Implementation and reporting
on corporate governance
None
2 Business The Company’s objectives are not stated in the Constitution. Prior to Redomiciliation, the Company’s objectives were
described in the Memorandum of Association, but they were wider and more extensive than recommended in the
Code.
3 Equity and dividends None after the Redomiciliation. Before the Redomiciliation, Hafnia’s board of directors (the “Board”) had wider powers
to issue any authorised but unissued shares and preference shares than what is recommended in the Code.
4 Equal treatment of shareholders None
5 Shares and negotiability The Board may decline to register the transfer of any share in the Company if the transfer results in the Company
being deemed a “Controlled Foreign Company” in Norway.
6 General meetings The Chair of the Board, or the president of the Company if there is one appointed, will chair the Company’s general
meetings.
7 Nomination committee None

9 The work of the Board of Directors None
10 Risk management and internal control None
11 Remuneration of the Board of Directors None
12 Salary and other remuneration
of executive personnel
Performance-related remuneration to the Company’s executive officers (Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief
Financial Officer (“CFO”)) (CEO and CFO together, the “Executive Officers”) is not subject to an absolute limit.
13 Information and communications None
14 Take-overs None
15 Auditor None
Section 1 – Implementation and Reporting on Corporate Governance
The Board oversees the overall conduct of Hafnia, ensuring that the Company is accountable to its stakeholders by ensuring the implementation of business policies and practices
which comply with applicable legislation, regulations, ethical and corporate governance guidelines.
These policies are also designed to be fair and in accordance with leading market practices on stakeholder relations, and to ensure that the Company complies with the Code. The
Company assumes all dealings with customers, potential customers, and other third parties are in full public view and accommodates all stakeholders’ reasonable expectations.
Since the Redomiciliation, Hafnia is primarily governed by the Singapore Companies Act 1967 (the “Singapore Companies Act”) and its Constitution. Prior to the Redomiciliation, Hafnia
was primarily governed by the Bermuda Companies Act, its Memorandum of Association and its bye-laws. Certain aspects of Hafnia’s activities are governed by Norwegian law. The
Norwegian Securities Trading Act, the Norwegian Accounting Act, related regulations and the continued obligations for companies listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange will generally
apply. Additionally, as a company listed on the NYSE, Hafnia is also subject to U.S. securities laws and NYSE listing requirements. Hafnia’s business activities are also subject to the
laws of the countries in which it at any time operates, as well as international law and conventions.
The Company does not deviate from Section 1 of the Code.
Section 2 – Business
Under the Singapore Companies Act, companies may (but are not required to) include a clause in its constitution specifying the company’s principal activities and the purposes for
which the company was formed. In this regard and aligned with practices in Singapore, the Company has not included such provisions in its Constitution and has full capacity to carry
on or undertake any business or activity, do any act or enter into any transaction and, for the foregoing purposes, full rights, powers and privileges.
This represents a deviation from Section 2 of the Code.
Prior to the Redomiciliation, the Company’s business and objectives were described in the Company’s Memorandum of Association. In accordance with common practice for Bermuda
incorporated companies (including those listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange), the Company’s objectives set out were wider and more extensive than recommended in the Code. This
similarly represented a deviation from Section 2 of the Code.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 15.3 Created using Broadridge PROfile
The Board sets the tone and direction for Hafnia by defining clear objectives, strategies, and risk profile, ensuring consistency with the Company’s long-term strategic goals in a
sustainable manner, taking into account financial, social and environmental considerations. The Board conducts an annual review of Hafnia’s business activities, objectives, strategies
and risk profile, evaluating present and future opportunities, threats and risks in the external environment.
The Company’s Executive Officers implements the Board’s decisions through managing and developing the business of Hafnia, ensuring that the policies and processes that are in place
are compliant with the Board’s instructions. The strategy, objectives and corporate governance regime developed act as a foundation in the Company’s approach to integrate these
considerations into its business execution with the aim to deliver long-term value to the shareholders in a sustainable manner.
Stakeholders may read more about Hafnia’s objectives, strategy, and risk profile in its annual report for the financial year 2024 on Form 20-F (“Form 20-F”), which will be filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on 30 April 2025 and will be available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (EDGAR) database.
Section 3 – Equity and Dividends
Given the dynamic and cyclical nature of the Company’s business, the Board regularly reviews and monitors the Company’s capital structure to ensure it is in line with the Company’s
objectives, strategy, and risk profile.
This ensures that the business’ activities and growth are funded sensibly and prudently by achieving a more efficient capital structure that seeks to reduce the Company’s overall cost
of capital.
The Board has established a clear and predictable dividend policy. The Company will target a quarterly payout ratio of net profit, adjusted for extraordinary items, based on the quarter
end net loan-to-value ratio, of:
• 50% payout of net profit if net loan-to-value is above 40%
• 60% payout of net profit if net loan-to-value is above 30% but equal to or below 40%
• 80% payout of net profit if net loan-to-value is above 20% but equal to or below 30%; and
• 90% payout of net profit if net loan-to-value is equal to or below 20%.
In addition to cash dividends, the Company may also from time to time consider buying back shares as part of its total distribution of capital to shareholders. Any amount utilised for
share buybacks in a quarter may be deducted before declaring dividends for the quarter. This ensures the combined total of dividends and share buybacks aligns to the Company’s
payout ratio under its dividend policy.
Prior to the Redomiciliation and under the bye-laws of the Company, the Board could declare dividends and distributions without the approval of the shareholders in general meetings.
However, since the Redomiciliation, the Company may, by ordinary resolution, declare final dividends at a general meeting of the Company, but the amount of any such dividend shall
not exceed the amount recommended by the Board. Subject to the Company’s Constitution and in accordance with the Singapore Companies Act, the Board may from time to time
declare and pay interim dividends as the Board determines to be justified by the profits of the Company. No dividend (final or interim) shall be paid except out of the profits of the
Company. Dividend payouts which are approved at the Board meetings or general meetings of the Company are made in accordance with the Company’s dividend policy.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 15.3 Created using Broadridge PROfile
Prior to the Redomiciliation and in accordance with common practice for Bermuda-incorporated companies, the Board had the authority to issue any authorised unissued shares in the
Company on such terms and conditions as it may decide and may exercise all powers of the Company to purchase the Company’s own shares. The powers of the Board to issue and
purchase shares were neither limited to specific purposes nor to a specified period as recommended in the Code. This previously represented a deviation from Section 3 of the Code.
However, since the Redomiciliation, the Singapore Companies Act applies, which provides that notwithstanding anything in the Constitution, the Board may only issue new shares or
acquire the Company’s own shares with the prior approval of the Company in general meeting, and such approval must be obtained in the manner provided for in the Singapore
Companies Act. The authority to issue new shares, if granted, shall continue in force until the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting after the date on which the
approval was given; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting is required by law to be held (i.e. within six (6) months after the end of each financial
year of the Company, being December 31); or (iii) the subsequent revocation or modification of approval by the Company in general meeting. The authority to acquire its own shares, if
granted, shall continue in force until the date specified on which the authority is to expire, being a date that must not be later than the date on which the next annual general meeting of
the Company is or is required by law to be held, whichever is the earlier. The approval to issue new shares may be confined to a particular exercise of that power or may apply to the
exercise of that power generally; and any such approval may be unconditional or subject to conditions. The power to acquire its own shares may only be exercised in accordance with
specified procedures detailed in the Singapore Companies Act.
The Company does not deviate from Section 3 of the Code following the Redomiciliation.
Section 4 – Equal Treatment of Shareholders
The Company has one class of shares, meaning all shares in the Company carry equal rights, including the right to participate and vote in general meetings. As such, all shareholders will
be treated equally unless there is just cause for treating them differently.
As the Company is a Singapore public company limited by shares, shareholders do not have the same preferential rights in a future offering of shares in Hafnia as shareholders in
Norwegian limited liability companies normally have. Pursuant to Bermuda and Singapore laws, the shareholders of the Company do not have pre-emption rights in share issues unless
otherwise resolved by the Company. However, any decision to issue shares without pre-emption rights for existing shareholders will be justified in the common interest of the Company
and the shareholders and the justification will be publicly disclosed in a stock exchange announcement issued in connection with the share issue.
Any transactions that the Company carries out in its own shares will be carried out either through the Oslo Stock Exchange, NYSE, or both, or with reference to prevailing stock
exchange prices if carried out in another way.
The Company does not deviate from Section 4 of the Code.
Section 5 – Shares and Negotiability
The shares are generally freely negotiable. However, the Board may decline to register the transfer of any share, where such transfer would, in the opinion of the Board, likely result in
50% or more of the aggregate issued and outstanding share capital of the Company being held or owned directly (or indirectly) by individuals or legal persons resident for tax purposes
in Norway, or alternatively, such shares being effectively connected to a Norwegian business activity, or the Company otherwise being deemed a “Controlled Foreign Company” as such
term is defined pursuant to Norwegian tax legislation. The purpose of this provision is to avoid the Company being deemed a Controlled Foreign Company pursuant to Norwegian tax
rules.
This represents a deviation from Section 5 of the Code.
Section 6 – General Meetings
The Company encourages all shareholders to participate in and to vote at general meetings. In order to facilitate shareholder participation, the Board will ensure that:

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 15.3 Created using Broadridge PROfile
• The resolutions and supporting documentation, if any, will be sufficiently detailed, comprehensive and specific to allow shareholders to understand and form a view on matters that
are to be considered at the general meeting;
• The registration deadline, if any, for shareholders to participate at the general meeting will be set as closely to the date of the general meeting as practically possible and permissible
under the provisions in the Company’s bye-laws and the Constitution (where applicable);
• The shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on each individual matter, including on each candidate nominated for election to the Company’s Board and committees (if
applicable); and
• The Board members, the chair of the Nomination Committee and the auditor (where attendance is regarded as essential) will be present at the general meeting.
Shareholders who are not able to attend the general meeting will be given the opportunity to vote by proxy or to participate by using electronic means.
The Company will, in this respect:
• Provide information on the procedure for attending by proxy in the notice of the general meeting;
• Nominate a person who will be available to vote on behalf of shareholders as their proxy; and
• Prepare a proxy form which will, insofar as this is possible, be formulated in such a manner that the shareholder may vote on each item that is to be addressed and vote for each of
the candidates that are nominated for election.
The Company secretaries will also prepare minutes from the general meetings. These minutes aim to capture the essence of the meeting, its comments and results from the resolutions.
Pursuant to the Company’s bye-laws and Constitution, the Chair of the Board, or the president of the Company if there is one appointed, will chair the Company’s general meetings at all
general meetings at which such person is present. The Chair of the Board or president, as applicable, may appoint a person to act as chair of the meeting. In the absence of the Chair of
the Board, the president and a person appointed to act as chair of the meeting by the Chair of the Board or the president of Company, a chair of the meeting shall be appointed or elected
by those present at the meeting and entitled to vote.
This represents a deviation from Section 6 of the Code. However, there will be routines to ensure that an independent person is available to chair the general meeting or a particular
agenda with regards to any matters related to the Chair.
Section 7 – Nomination Committee
As provided for in its bye-laws and the Constitution, the Company established a Nomination Committee.
The Nomination Committee’s duties include proposing candidates for election to the Board and the Nomination Committee itself. As part of its work in proposing candidates for election
to the Board, the Nomination Committee will provide reasoned recommendations for any candidate and seek to consult shareholders concerning proposals for candidates’ appointment.
If there is a vacancy in the Board occurring as a result of the death, disability, disqualification or resignation of any members or as a result of an increase in the size of the Board, the
Board has the power to appoint a member to fill the vacancy, provided that any such member appointed by the Board shall hold office only until the next annual general meeting or until
their successors are elected or appointed or their office is otherwise vacated. The Nomination Committee is responsible for Board succession. In the nomination and selection process,
the candidate will undergo careful consideration to ensure that they are independent. This will include review of employment history, financial relationships, affiliations and business
relationships, and consulting legal and governance experts. Shareholder input will also be considered, where the appointment of new members of the Board will have to be done at a
general meeting as aforementioned.

See Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees - C. Board Practices in the Company’s Form 20-F for further information regarding the Nomination Committee and its
responsibilities.
The Company does not deviate from Section 7 of the Code.
Section 8 – Board of Directors: Composition and Independence
The Board is responsible for the overall management of the Company and may exercise all of the powers of the Company not reserved to the Company’s shareholders by its bye-laws or
under Bermuda law and its Constitution or under Singapore law.
The Board currently consists of five board members and may be increased upon the general meeting’s decision. The Board is composed of one-tier and all Board members are non-
executive members.
The Board has established two committees, the Audit Committee and Remuneration Committee. The Company also has a Nomination Committee, which chair and members are not within
the Company’s Board.
The Board members work together to exercise proper supervision of the Company’s business, compliance, performance and work done by the Company’s Executive Officers. The Chair
of the Board is elected by the shareholders.
The Company believes that the composition of the Board ensures that the Board has a good balance of knowledge, expertise and diversity appropriate to promote different perspectives
and mitigate the risk of groupthink.
This helps the Board to attend to duties towards the Company and its stakeholders effectively. An introduction to the members of the Board and their expertise is included in Item 6.
Directors, Senior Management and Employees in the Company’s Form 20-F.
Four out of five of the board members are independent of the Company’s Executive Officers, its main shareholders and material business contacts, and the Company’s Executive Officers
is not represented on the Board. The members of the Board serve for such term as the shareholders may determine at the general meeting or, in the absence of such determination, until
the next annual general meeting or until their successors are elected or appointed or their office is otherwise vacated. The benefit of continuity in the Board’s composition will be
balanced against the potential benefits of renewal and independence. The members of the Board are encouraged to own shares in the Company.
The Company does not deviate from Section 8 of the Code.
Section 9 – The Work of the Board of Directors
The Board oversees the overall conduct of the Company’s affairs and the day-to-day management of the Company. The Board’s duties and responsibilities are set out in detail in the
Company’s bye-laws and Constitution.
The Board emphasises clear allocation of responsibilities amongst members and between the Board and Executive Officers for increased accountability. Various guidelines have been
adopted for both the Board and Executive Officers. During Board meetings, directors consistently reserve time for discussion without the presence of Hafnia’s Executive Officers.
To ensure independence, directors and the Executive Officers of the Company are required to notify the Board if they directly or indirectly have a material interest in any transaction
carried out by the Company. Members of the Board and Executive Officers are to recuse themselves from decisions that they have a special interest in so that such items can be
considered unbiased. Another Board member will chair discussions on significant matters if the Chair of the Board has been actively involved in such matters outside of his role as Chair
of the Board.

The Board has established an Audit Committee consisting of two Board members and has adopted guidelines for the Audit Committee’s work. See Item 6. Directors, Senior Management
and Employees - C. Board Practices in the Company’s Form 20-F for further information regarding members of the Audit Committee and their responsibilities.
The Board has also established a Remuneration Committee to ensure due and independent preparation of matters relating to compensation of Executive Officers. See Item 6. Directors,
Senior Management and Employees - C. Board Practices in the Company’s Form 20-F for further information regarding the members of the Remuneration Committee and their
responsibilities.
The Board has established a Nomination Committee to ensure Board succession through identifying and nominating candidates for the appointment of members of the Board. See Item
6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees - C. Board Practices in the Company’s Form 20-F for further information regarding the members of the Nomination Committee and their
responsibilities.
The Board aims to annually assess the effectiveness and performance of the Board as a whole and of its committees. This ensures that it fulfils its duties and responsibilities
satisfactorily and uncovers key areas for improvement and requisite follow-up actions. The Board’s internal assessment and performance evaluation was carried out in February 2025, to
the overall satisfaction of the members of the Board.
In cases of transactions between the Company and a shareholder, a shareholder’s parent company, director, officer or Executive Officers or persons closely related to any such parties,
which are not immaterial for either the Company or the close associate involved, the Board will obtain a valuation from an independent third party. See Item 7. Major Shareholders and
Related Party Transactions – B. Related Party Transactions in the Company’s Form 20-F for an account of the Company’s agreements with related parties.
The Company does not deviate from Section 9 of the Code.
Section 10 – Risk Management and Internal Control
The Board is responsible for overseeing risk management in the Company, ensuring appropriate control procedures and systems are in place to manage its exposure to risks that are
inherent to the Company’s business. The Company recognises the importance of balancing risks and rewards to pursue business opportunities within its risk appetite. Such procedures
also support the quality of the Company’s financial reporting and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
In Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors in the Company’s Form 20-F, the Company provides an overview of Hafnia’s central risks and its business.
Management and internal reporting and control mechanisms are based on Company-wide policies and internal guidelines in areas such as Finance and Accounting, Health, Safety,
Security, Environment & Quality (HSSEQ), Ship Operations and Project Management, in addition to the implementation and follow-up of a risk assessment process.
The Company’s policies and guidelines are imperative to the Company’s internal control and risk limitations and are designed to ensure that the Company’s vision, policies, goals and
procedures are known and adhered to. This also helps to discipline and reinforces the Company’s risk culture regarding the nature and extent of risks that the Company is willing to
accept.
The Company has implemented frequent management reporting sessions where both operational and financial matters are analysed and reported to relevant decision-makers, allowing
them to respond quickly to changing conditions. This helps to provide reasonable assurance against foreseeable events that may adversely affect the Company’s business objectives.
The Company has established clear and safe communication channels between the employees and management to ensure effective reporting of any illegal or unethical activities in the
Company, as such activities may be detrimental to the Company’s reputation and financial well-being, as well as to the Company’s various stakeholders.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 15.3 Created using Broadridge PROfile
The Board carries out annual reviews of the Company’s most important areas of exposure to risk and its internal control arrangements.
The Company is subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires that beginning with the second annual report on Form 20-F, which will be the annual report for the year
ended 31 December 2025, (i) the Company includes a report from the Executive Officers on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and (ii) the Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As disclosed in the Company’s registration
statement on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on 27 March 2024, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form 20-F, filed with the SEC on 1 April, 2024, the Company
has identified three material weaknesses in the internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses identified relate to (i) not having a sufficient number of personnel with
an appropriate level of IFRS accounting skills, SEC reporting knowledge and experience and training in internal controls over financial reporting; (ii) not having sufficient information
technology controls and documentation; and (iii) the review process over assumptions and inputs used in several key accounting estimates.
In 2024, with the support of advisors and under supervision of the CFO and the Audit Committee, the Company has implemented a plan to remediate the aforementioned material
weakness. The plan to remediate these material weaknesses includes (i) establishing a formal process to evaluate the design and implementation of the internal controls over financial
reporting, (ii) designing and implementing controls based on that evaluation, and (iii) recruiting more qualified personnel, performing skills gap analysis and training within the
Company’s existing finance organisation to strengthen the financial reporting function.
The Company continues to work closely with its advisors to evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting, and to provide necessary
training across the organisation. However, as the Company is not required to include a report from management on the internal control over financial reporting until the second annual
report on Form 20-F, neither the Company’s management nor its independent registered public accounting firm has conducted a comprehensive assessment of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting for the purposes of identifying and reporting any material weakness or significant deficiency in internal control over financial reporting. Therefore, the
Company cannot assure that all material weaknesses have been identified, or that additional material weaknesses will not be identified in the future.
The Company does not deviate from Section 10 of the Code.
Section 11 – Remuneration of the Board of Directors
The Company seeks shareholders’ approval at the annual general meeting regarding the remuneration of the Board. No member of the Board decides his or her own fees. The
remuneration of the Board reflects its responsibility, expertise, time commitment and the complexity of the Company’s activities.
To maintain the Board’s independence, the Board’s remuneration is not linked to the Company’s performance, nor does the Company intend to grant profit-related remuneration, share
options, similar instruments or retirement benefits to Board members as consideration for their work.
As a rule, the Board members and/or companies with whom the Board members are associated shall not undertake special tasks for the Company in addition to their role as a Board
member. Fees for any such services rendered shall be approved by the Board.
The Company does not deviate from Section 11 of the Code.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 15.3 Created using Broadridge PROfile
Section 12 – Salary and other Remuneration of Executive Personnel
The Board has adopted guidelines and principles for determining the remuneration of Executive Officers, which are reviewed annually. The guidelines are clear and understandable, and
contribute to the Company’s business strategy, long term interests and financial sustainability. Such guidelines are not a requirement under Bermuda and Singapore laws and therefore
not subject to the annual general meeting’s approval.
The Remuneration Committee administers all the performance-related elements of remuneration of Executive Officers. The Remuneration Committee annually prepares recommendations
to the Board, considering inter alia responsibility, expertise, time commitment and the complexity of the Company’s activities.
The remuneration paid to Executive Officers will aim to ensure a convergence of the financial interests of the shareholders and Executive Officers. The Company has inter alia adopted a
long-term share incentive program for Executive Officers and other key personnel, and it is designed to be easily understood, to align the interests of Executive Officers with those of
shareholders and to link rewards to corporate and individual performance.
In connection with the dual listing on NYSE, the Board adopted a policy concerning recovery of erroneously awarded compensation which would apply to the Executive Officers.
Performance-related remuneration is awarded in relation to annual performance against pre-determined performance targets, which includes sustainability objectives. The aggregate
bonus pool available for payment is determined with close reference to the Company’s profitability and shareholder value creation.
Performance-related remuneration is not subject to an absolute limit.
This represents a deviation from Section 12 of the Code.
Section 13 – Information and Communication
The Board has adopted guidelines for the Company’s communication with shareholders and how the Company will make information available to shareholders outside of general
meetings.
Hafnia values openness and transparency towards its shareholders and is committed to disclosing to shareholders as much relevant information as is possible in a timely and accurate
manner.
All communications and announcements of information will take into account the requirement for equal treatment of the Company’s shareholders.
The Company publishes an updated financial calendar with dates for important events such as the annual general meeting, publishing of interim reports, public presentations and
payment of dividends (if applicable) on the Company’s website, Newsweb and distribution through BusinessWire.
The Company has also established guidelines for contact with shareholders. A conference call to present financial information and key business updates is held every quarter by the
Executive Officers. Additionally, it is possible to contact Hafnia’s investor relations team via the corporate website, allowing shareholders to reach out to the Company easily.
The Company does not deviate from Section 13 of the Code.
Section 14 – Take-Overs
The Company has established key principles for how to act in the event of a take-over offer. In the event of a take-over process, the Board has a duty to ensure that the Company’s
shareholders are treated equally and that the Company’s activities are not unnecessarily interrupted. The Board will also ensure that the shareholders have sufficient information and
time to assess the offer.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 15.3 Created using Broadridge PROfile
In the event of a take-over process, the Board will abide by the principles of the Code and also ensure that the following take place:
• The Board will ensure that the offer is made to all shareholders, and on the same terms;
• The Board shall not undertake any actions intended to give shareholders or others an unreasonable advantage at the expense of other shareholders or the Company;
• The Board should not enter into an agreement with any offeror that limits the Company’s ability to entertain other offers for the Company’s shares, unless it is obvious that such an
agreement is in the common interest of the Company and its shareholders;
• The Board shall strive to be completely open about the take-over situation. Agreements between the Company and the offeror which are of significance for the market’s assessment
of the offer shall be made known to the market no later than the time when the market is notified of the offer;
• The Board shall not institute measures which have the intention of protecting the personal interests of its members at the expense of the interests of the shareholders; and
• The Board acknowledges the particular duty the Board carries to ensure that the interests of the shareholders are safeguarded.
If an offer is made for the Company’s shares, the Board shall issue a statement evaluating the offer and making a recommendation as to whether shareholders should or should not
accept the offer. If the Board finds itself unable to give a recommendation to the shareholders on whether or not to accept the offer, it will explain the reasons for this. The Board’s
statement on a bid shall make it clear whether the views expressed are unanimous, and if this is not the case, it shall explain the reasons why specific members of the Board have excluded
themselves from the statement.
The Board will consider arranging a valuation from an independent expert. An independent valuation will be arranged if any member of the Board, close associates of such member or
anyone who has recently held a position but has ceased to hold such a position as a member of the Board, is either the bidder or has a particular personal interest in the bid. This will
also apply if the bidder is a major shareholder of the Company. Any such valuation should either be enclosed with the Board’s statement or reproduced or referred to in the statement.
The Company does not deviate from Section 14 of the Code.
Section 15 – Auditor
The Company’s auditor is appointed by the Company in an annual general meeting and is responsible for the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The auditor participates in the Audit Committee’s review and discussion of the annual accounts and quarterly interim accounts. Annually, the auditor will submit an audit work-plan to
the Board or the Audit Committee.
The auditor normally participates in Board meetings that deal with annual accounts and accounting principles. The auditor will also assess any important accounting estimates and
matters of importance on which there has been disagreement between the auditor and the Company’s Executive Officers and/or the Audit Committee. At least once a year, the auditor
shall present to the Board or the Audit Committee a review of the Company’s internal control procedures, including identified weaknesses and proposals for improvement. Further, the
Board will normally hold a meeting with the auditor at least once a year at which no representative of the Executive Officers is present.
The Board is responsible for determining whether the Executive Officers may engage the auditor for other purposes than auditing. The auditor is required to annually confirm his or her
independence in writing to the Audit Committee. The Board will give the shareholders an account at the annual general meeting of the remuneration paid to the auditor, including details
of the fee paid for audit work and any fees paid for other specific assignments.
The Company does not deviate from Section 15 of the Code.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 97.1 Created using Broadridge PROfile
Exhibit 97.1
HAFNIA LIMITED
(the “Company”)
POLICY CONCERNING RECOVERY OF
ERRONEOUSLY AWARDED COMPENSATION
Adopted by the Board of Directors on 27 March 2024
A. Introduction
The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to create and maintain a culture that emphasizes
integrity and accountability and that reinforces the Company’s pay-for-performance compensation philosophy. The Board has therefore adopted this policy which provides for the
recovery of erroneously awarded incentive compensation in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance of the Company
with any financial reporting requirements under the United States federal securities laws (the “Policy”). This Policy is designed to comply with Section 10D of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the rules or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder, and applicable standards of the New
York Stock Exchange (“NYSE” and such standards, the “Listing Standards”), including any official interpretive guidance.
B. Administration
This Policy shall be administered by the independent members of the Board or, if so designated by the Board, the Remuneration Committee of the Board, in which case references herein
to the Board shall be deemed references to the Remuneration Committee. Any determinations made by the Board shall be final and binding on all affected individuals.
C. Covered Executives
This Policy applies to the Company’s current and former executive officers, as determined by the Board in accordance with the definition in Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the
Listing Standards, and such other executive officers who may from time to time be deemed subject to the Policy by the Board (“Covered Executives”). For the avoidance of doubt,
Covered Executives will include at least the following Company officers: Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Principal Accounting Officer.
This Policy covers Incentive Compensation received by a person after beginning service as a Covered Executive and who served as a Covered Executive at any time during the
performance period for that Incentive Compensation.
D. Recovery; Accounting Restatement
In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements filed with the SEC due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial
reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the
previously issued financial statements or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period (an
“Accounting Restatement”), the Company will recover reasonably promptly any excess Incentive Compensation received by any Covered Executive during the three completed fiscal
years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, including transition periods resulting from a change in the Company’s
fiscal year as provided in Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act. Incentive Compensation is deemed “received” in the Company’s fiscal period during which the Financial Reporting Measure
specified in the Incentive Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant of the Incentive Compensation occurs after the end of that period.
The determination of the time when the Company is “required” to prepare an Accounting Restatement shall be made in accordance with applicable SEC and national securities exchange
rules and regulations.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 97.1 Created using Broadridge PROfile
An Accounting Restatement does not include situations in which financial statement changes did not result from material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements, such as,
but not limited to retrospective: (i) application of a change in accounting principles; (ii) revision to reportable segment information due to a change in the structure of the Company's
internal organization; (iii) reclassification due to a discontinued operation; (iv) application of a change in reporting entity, such as from a reorganization of entities under common control;
(v) adjustment to provision amounts in connection with a prior business combination; and (vi) revision for stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits or other changes in capital
structure.
E. Incentive Compensation
For purposes of this Policy, “Incentive Compensation” means any compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a Financial Reporting
Measure, including, for example:
• bonuses or awards (equity and non-equity) under the Company’s short and long-term incentive plans that are earned based, wholly or in part, on the satisfaction of a Financial
Reporting Measure performance target;
• proceeds received upon the sale of shares acquired though an incentive plan that were granted or vested based, wholly or in part, on the satisfaction of a Financial Reporting
Measure performance target;
• grants and awards under the Company’s equity incentive plans that are earned based, wholly or in part, on the satisfaction of a Financial Reporting Measure performance target;
• contributions of such bonuses or awards to the Company's deferred compensation plans or other employee benefit plans that are earned based, wholly or in part, on the satisfaction
of a Financial Reporting Measure performance target;
• Bonuses paid from a “bonus pool,” the size of which is determined, wholly or in part, based on satisfaction of a Financial Reporting Measure performance target, and
• cash awards earned based, wholly or in part, on the satisfaction of a Financial Reporting Measure performance target.
Incentive Compensation for the purposes of this Policy does not include:
• awards (equity and non-equity) which are granted, earned and vested without regard to attainment of Financial Reporting Measures, such as time-vesting awards, discretionary
awards and awards based wholly on subjective standards, strategic measures or operational measures;
• base salaries (except salary increase that are earned based, wholly or in part, on the satisfaction of a Financial Reporting Measure performance target);
• awards (equity and non-equity) that vest solely based on the passage of time and/or the satisfaction of performance targets that are not Financial Reporting Measures;
• Bonuses paid solely at the discretion of the Committee or Board that are not paid from a “bonus pool” that is determined by satisfying a Financial Reporting Measure performance
target, and
• proceeds received upon the sale of shares acquired though an incentive plan that were granted or vested without regard to attainment of Financial Reporting Measures; such as
vesting or granting based on time, discretionary judgment or other subjective standards, strategic measures or operational measures.
“Financial Reporting Measures” are those that are determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company's financial statements
(including non-GAAP financial measures) and any measures derived wholly or in part from such financial measures. A measure need not be presented within the financial statements or
included in a filing with the SEC to constitute a Financial Reporting Measure for purposes of this Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, Financial Reporting Measures include, but are not
limited to: stock price and total shareholder return.
F. Excess Incentive Compensation: Amount Subject to Recovery
The amount(s) to be recovered from the Covered Executive will be the amount(s) by which the Covered Executive's Incentive Compensation for the relevant period(s) exceeded the
amount(s) that the Covered Executive otherwise would have received had such Incentive Compensation been determined based on the restated amounts contained in the Accounting
Restatement. All amounts shall be computed without regard to taxes paid.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 97.1 Created using Broadridge PROfile
For Incentive Compensation based on Financial Reporting Measures such as stock price or total shareholder return, where the amount of excess compensation is not subject to
mathematical recalculation directly from the information in an Accounting Restatement, the Board will calculate the amount to be reimbursed based on a reasonable estimate of the effect
of the Accounting Restatement on such Financial Reporting Measure upon which the Incentive Compensation was received. The Company will maintain documentation of that
reasonable estimate and will provide such documentation to the applicable national securities exchange.
G. Method of Recovery
The Board will determine, in its sole discretion, the method(s) for recovering reasonably promptly excess Incentive Compensation hereunder. Such methods may include, without
limitation:
(i) requiring reimbursement of Incentive Compensation previously paid;
(ii) forfeiting any compensation contribution made under the Company's deferred compensation plans, as well as any matching amounts and earnings thereon;
(iii) seeking recovery of any gain realized on the vesting, exercise, settlement, sale, transfer, or other disposition of any equity-based awards;
(iv) cancelling outstanding vested or unvested equity awards;
(v) offsetting the recovered amount from any compensation that the Covered Executive may earn or be awarded in the future (including, for the avoidance of doubt, recovering
amounts earned or awarded in the future to such individual equal to compensation paid or deferred into tax-qualified plans or plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (collectively, "Exempt Plans"); provided that, no such recovery will be made from amounts held in any Exempt Plan of the Company);
(vi) taking any other remedial and recovery action permitted by law, as determined by the Board; and/or
(vii) some combination of the foregoing.
H. Disclosure Requirements
The Company shall file all disclosures with respect to this Policy required by applicable SEC filings and rules.
I. No Indemnification or Advance
The Company shall not indemnify any Covered Executives against the loss of any incorrectly awarded Incentive Compensation.
J. Interpretation
The Board is authorized to interpret and construe this Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate, or advisable for the administration of this Policy. It is intended that
this Policy be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act, any applicable rules or regulations adopted by the SEC, and the
Listing Standards.
K. Effective Date
This Policy shall be effective as of the date it is adopted by the Board (the “Effective Date”) and shall apply to Incentive Compensation that is received by Covered Executives on or after
the date on which a registration statement that registers the Company’s securities under the Exchange Act is declared effective (even if such Incentive Compensation was approved,
awarded, or granted to Covered Executives prior to such date) and that results from attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure based on or derived from financial information for any
fiscal period ending on or after the Effective Date. In addition, this Policy is intended to be and will be incorporated as an essential term and condition of any Incentive Compensation
agreement, plan or program that the Company establishes or maintains on or after the Effective Date.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Period: 12-31-2024 Description: Exhibit 97.1 Created using Broadridge PROfile
L. Amendment; Termination
The Board may amend this Policy from time to time in its discretion and shall amend this Policy as it deems necessary to reflect final regulations adopted or amended by the SEC under
Section 10D of the Exchange Act and to comply with the Listing Standards and any other rules or standards adopted by a national securities exchange on which the Company’s
securities are listed. The Board may terminate this Policy at any time.
M. Relationship to Other Plans and Agreements
The Board intends that this Policy will be applied to the fullest extent of the law. The Board may require that any employment agreement, equity award agreement or similar agreement
relating to Incentive Compensation received on or after the Effective Date shall, as a condition to the grant of any benefit thereunder, require a Covered Executive to agree to abide by
the terms of this Policy. Any right of recovery under this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any (i) other remedies or rights of compensation recovery that may be available to the
Company pursuant to the terms of any similar policy in any employment agreement, or similar agreement relating to Incentive Compensation, unless any such agreement expressly
prohibits such right of recovery; provided that such additional right shall not entitle the Company to recover Incentive Compensation in respect of an Accounting Restatement under
both this Policy and any similar policy or agreement; provided, further that in such event, the Company shall recover such Incentive Compensation under this Policy; and (ii) any other
legal remedies available to the Company. The provisions of this Policy are in addition to (and not in lieu of) any rights to repayment the Company may have under Section 304 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other applicable laws. However, this Policy shall not provide for recovery of Incentive Compensation that the Company has already recovered pursuant
to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or other recovery obligations.
N. Acknowledgment
Upon receipt of this Policy, each Covered Executive is required to complete the Receipt and Acknowledgement attached as Schedule A to this Policy.
O. Impracticability
The Company shall recover any excess Incentive Compensation in accordance with this Policy, except to the extent that any of conditions(i), (ii) or (iii) below are met and a majority of
independent directors serving on the Board has determined that such recovery would be impracticable, all in accordance with Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act and the Listing Standards
or any other securities exchange on which the Company's shares are listed in the future.
(i) the direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing the Policy would exceed the amount to be recovered. Before reaching this conclusion, the Company must make a
reasonable attempt to recover the excess compensation, document the reasonable attempt(s) taken to so recover, and provide that documentation to NYSE;
(ii) recovery would violate the Company’s home country law where that law was adopted prior to November 28, 2022; before reaching this conclusion, the Company must obtain an
opinion of home country counsel, acceptable to NYSE, that recovery would result in such a violation, and must provide such opinion to NYSE; or
(iii) recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the registrant, to fail to meet the requirements
of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(13) or 26 U.S.C. 411(a) and regulations thereunder.
P. Successors
This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Covered Executives and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives.

Compensation is required pursuant to the Policy, the Company (as defined in the Policy) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by governing laws, require such recovery from me up to the
amount by which the Incentive Compensation received by me, and amounts paid or payable pursuant or with respect thereto, constituted excess Incentive Compensation. If any such
reimbursement, reduction, cancelation, forfeiture, repurchase, recoupment, offset against future grants or awards and/or other method of recovery does not fully satisfy the amount due,
I agree to pay the remaining unpaid balance to the Company.

Responsibility Statement 2024
2024 marks a pivotal year for Hafnia as we align our corporate
sustainability disclosures with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting
Directive (CSRD). This shift aligns with our commitment to increased
transparency, robust governance, and responsible growth across
the global shipping industry. Hafnia’s reporting now adheres to the
European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), reflecting a
structured and forward-looking approach to environmental, social,
and governance (ESG) matters.
In line with the CSRD framework, Hafnia’s sustainability reporting goes
beyond traditional disclosures. We embrace the double materiality
principle, addressing both our environmental and societal impact, and
how sustainability factors may influence our financial performance,
strategic direction, and operational resilience. This approach allows
us to deliver a more comprehensive view of our sustainability journey
to all stakeholders from investors to customers, partners, and
employees.
For 2024, Hafnia focused on meeting the mandatory disclosure
requirements under CSRD, establishing a reliable and consistent
reporting foundation. We have chosen not to include comparative
figures for prior years in this initial CSRD-aligned report, enabling a
cleaner transition into the new regulatory framework.
Our updated materiality assessment has shaped this report,
highlighting the ESG topics most critical to Hafnia’s operations,
long-term risks, and strategic opportunities.
Hafnia continues to integrate sustainability into the core of our
business strategy, recognizing the long-term value it creates for
our company as well as for the wider industry, communities and
ecosystems we operate in. By combining regulatory compliance with
proactive ambition, we are well-positioned to navigate the evolving
ESG landscape and deliver lasting impact.
Our commitment is clear: to operate safely, sustainably, and with a
strong sense of social responsibility. This Sustainability Statement
represents a meaningful step forward both in our reporting approach
and in our enduring dedication to shaping a more sustainable future
for global shipping.
The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for preparing the
CSRD report in accordance with applicable laws of Singapore as well
as additional requirements for listed companies in accordance with
the Norwegian Securities Trading Act. We confirm that to the best of
our knowledge, our sustainability reporting is prepared in compliance
with section 2-6 of the Norwegian Accounting Act, which incorporate
the CSRD and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS),
and articles 8 of the EU Taxonomy regulation.

BP-1
General Basis for Preparation
of the Sustainability Statement
Hafnia’s Sustainability Statement for the period from January
1st, 2024, to December 31st, 2024, adheres to the EU’s Corporate
Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European
Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
The consolidation of data follows the same principles used in Hafnia’s
financial statements. This means the consolidated quantitative
sustainability data includes Hafnia Limited and all subsidiaries it
controls. However, there is one exception – greenhouse gas (GHG)
and pollutant emissions data, which include emissions from our
joint-venture vessels based on Hafnia’s ownership share.
The sustainability statement covers Hafnia’s entire value chain,
both upstream and downstream. As part of the Double Materiality
Assessment, the supply chain was evaluated, and suppliers are
integrated into Hafnia’s policies.
Omitted Information
The OPEX and CAPEX amounts required for implementing the energy
transition plan described in E1-1 have not been disclosed (E1-3) as this
information is considered sensitive. No other information regarding
intellectual property has been omitted. The report excludes matters
currently under negotiation unless they have already been publicly
disclosed and are deemed relevant for reporting.
ESRS 2 / General Disclosures
BP-2
Disclosures in Relation
to Specific Circumstances
Time Horizons
In ESRS 1, time horizons are defined as follows: Short-term is up to
one year, medium-term is one to five years, and long-term is more
than five years. These definitions are aligned with time horizons
applied in our sustainability statement.
Value Chain Data Estimation
For our Scope 3 reporting, we use a spend-based approach to
estimate carbon emissions based on the categorization of invoices.
Starting in 2025, Hafnia will enhance the process by leveraging its
ESG Reporting platform to engage directly with suppliers. This will
allow us to replace some assumptions regarding emission factors
and processes with actual data and coefficients provided by the
suppliers themselves.
Other Estimations and Disclosures
Subject to Uncertainty
We also rely on estimates to report certain data points for Scope
2 and Scope 3 emissions. For more detailed information on the
estimation, please refer to descriptions in the accounting policies in
each section.
We have not identified any disclosures subject to a high level of
measurement uncertainty.
Changes in Sustainability Statement
No comparison has been made to previous sustainability statements,
as Hafnia is reporting under the CSRD legislation for the first time in
2024. As a result, there are no reported changes or corrections of
errors.
Reporting for Other Frameworks than the ESRS
Our Sustainability Statement also includes information that has been
prepared in compliance with the EU Taxonomy (refer to page 39).

Matters Addressed by the Undertaking’s
Administrative, Management, and
Supervisory Bodies
The Head of ESG presents the process and due diligence behind the
Double Materiality Assessment, along with the resulting impacts,
risks, and opportunities (IROs), to the Executive Management Team
and Audit Committee for annual review and approval. Following this,
the CEO summarizes the report for the Board of Directors.
Beginning 2025, the Head of ESG will provide quarterly updates
to the Executive Management Team and the Audit Committee on
risks, impacts, and opportunities. These updates will focus on the
results and effectiveness of policies, actions, metrics, and targets. A
summary of these updates will be shared with the Board of Directors.
The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors do not directly
address any material topics.
How Sustainability Matters are Considered
when Overseeing Strategy
ESG-related risks and opportunities are integrated into Hafnia’s
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework, serving as a key
reference for strategic planning and investment decision-making.
In recent years, Hafnia has made significant investments in which
sustainability has played a critical role. For example, Hafnia has
expanded its fleet with four dual-fuel LNG vessels and four dual-fuel
methanol chemical vessels, demonstrating its commitment to more
sustainable fuel solutions.
GOV-3
Integration of Sustainability-Related
Performance in Incentive Schemes
Compensation for the Executive Management is structured using
a combination of fixed and incentive-based components, aligned
with the objectives outlined in Hafnia’s remuneration policy that is
approved by the Board of Directors.
Key sustainability indicators are evaluated as part of this structure
and undergo annual assessment. These indicators are then
considered at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee for
inclusion in the variable remuneration structures of the Executive
Management. Since this consideration is discretionary, there are
no defined percentages of variable remuneration dependent on
sustainability-related targets.
In 2024, the Key Performance Indicators on sustainability for the CEO
and CFO were to:
• Maintain the highest standards in Health & Safety:
ᇶ  LTIF <0.4 observation/inspection
ᇶ  TRCF <1.0 observation/inspection
• Achieve an average of >90% favourable result from the yearly
Engagement Survey
• Be on track on our gender diversity target for 2030 to get 40%
of women in office
• Achieve >50% women onboard four Culture Labs ships
• Achieve zero breaches in five key compliance pillars and
environmental regulations
• Maintain trajectory to achieve “net zero by 2050”; and reduction
of carbon intensity by 40% by 2028, from 2008
• Screen suppliers on ESG criteria

Risk Management and Internal Controls
Over Sustainability Reporting
Hafnia ensures the accuracy and reliability of its sustainability
reporting by annually assessing and evaluating key risks. The Audit
Committee oversees both financial and sustainability reporting
processes, including the yearly review of risk assessments, internal
controls, and their operational effectiveness.
Main Risks Identified in Relation to Sustainability
Reporting and their Mitigation Strategies
Every year, following the release of the annual report, the ESG team
conducts a gap assessment to identify risks, refine processes and
address challenges encountered during the annual reporting. Hafnia
addresses its main sustainability reporting risks through automated
processes, data validation, and external oversight. These measures
strengthen the sustainability reporting framework, ensuring
transparency, compliance, and data integrity.
Risks

Sustainability Matters in Strategy
Sustainability is central to Hafnia’s corporate strategy, with
“Responsible and Reduce Emissions” as one of the four strategic
pillars.
Current Significant Products and/or Services
in Relation to Sustainability-Related Goals
Hafnia has not set specific sustainability goals for individual product
or service groups. However, the company is actively advancing its
sustainability efforts in developing new transportation services,
particularly for biofuels, ammonia, and CO₂. Further details on these 
projects can be found in section E1-1.
In 2024, Hafnia became a member of the United Nations Global
Compact. This commits Hafnia to operate in a way that, at a
minimum, we meet fundamental responsibilities in the areas of
human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. By aligning
our strategies, policies, and procedures with the Ten Principles of the
UN Global Compact, we are strengthening our focus on human rights
and responsible business practices in our daily operations.
Industry-Specific Questions
Hafnia generates its primary revenue from transporting fossil fuels,
along with limited revenues from the management of third-party
vessels on our pools as well as buying bunkers for other shipowners
through its Bunker supply services. Hafnia is not involved in chemical
production, the manufacturing of controversial weapons, or the
cultivation and production of tobacco.

Value Chain Inputs And Approach to Gathering, Developing
and Securing Inputs
Key inputs for Hafnia are:
• Bunker fuel: This is procured through a combination of long-term
supplier contracts and spot market purchases. Quality control
is ensured through stringent testing and compliance with ISO
8217 standards.
• Vessel, newbuilding, spare parts, equipment & technology:
Vessels are sourced from reliable shipyards or shipowners
that adhere to all regulatory requirements, while spare parts
and equipment come from approved vendors offering strong
warranties.
• Ports and terminals infrastructure for loading and unloading:
Long-term agreements with global ports are established to
secure berthing slots and manage logistics efficiently.
• Crew and workforce: Employee retention and security are
ensured through competitive wages, benefits, and compliance
with international labor standards, especially the Maritime
Labor Convention (MLC).
Outputs and Outcomes in Terms of Current and
Expected Benefits for Customers, Investors,
and Other Stakeholders
Our business model focuses on creating value for multiple
stakeholders. Hafnia facilitates global trade and commerce by
transporting energy across key maritime regions. Through our
operations, we provide stable employment, ensure safe working
environments, actively support the green transition in energy
transportation, and deliver strong returns for our shareholders.

How Stakeholder Views Inform Our Strategy and Business Model
Hafnia is proactively driving key environmental, social, and regulatory initiatives. Our strategy aligns with
industry best practices and evolving sustainability requirements. Stakeholder feedback has validated our
approach rather than prompted changes. Through continuous dialogue with stakeholders, we ensure
their expectations are integrated into our strategy, enabling us to stay ahead of emerging trends.
The views and interests of affected stakeholders regarding sustainability-related impacts are shared with
our Audit Committee on a quarterly basis through informal discussions and annually through a formal
update as part of the Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) review.
Informal stakeholder insights are regularly discussed during leadership meetings to ensure continuous
alignment with sustainability priorities. In addition, our annual sustainability statement presents a
structured overview of stakeholder feedback, key sustainability developments, and Hafnia’s response
strategies.

How Material Impacts Originate from or
Are Connected to Strategy and Business Model
All identified material impacts have already been integrated into
our corporate strategy, highlighting their intrinsic connection to
our industry. This commitment is further supported by established
policies addressing each identified impact, along with defined
targets for the majority.
However, we have not yet conducted a resilience analysis to evaluate
our strategy and business model’s ability to address material impacts,
mitigate risks, and seize opportunities.
Financial Effects of Material Risks and
Opportunities
This year, we did not include numerical financial scenarios into the
assessment of material risks and opportunities. Instead, we relied
solely on qualitative scenario analysis and have not quantified the
anticipated financial impacts.

IRO-1
Description of the Processes to Identify
and Assess Material Impacts,
Risks and Opportunities
Methodology and Process
Our Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) process methodology
is grounded in the guidance provided in the ESRS disclosure
requirements. Our interpretation of the legislation guides the
development of the process methodology, from the choices in
stakeholder engagement to the threshold decisions.
The DMA follows the same reporting boundaries as the annual
report covering impacts, risks, and opportunities regarding the
parent company, Hafnia Limited, and all its subsidiaries. It includes
Hafnia’s operations as well as its value chain, with a focus on the
upstream value chain. The assessment did not specifically focus
on any particular activities, business relationships, geographies, or
other factors.
Scoring: Impact Materiality
Hafnia applied a scoring methodology to assess all impacts, both
positive and negative. An impact was considered material if the
average score for scale, scope, irremediable character (applicable
only to negative impacts), and likelihood (only for potential impacts)
was greater than three. Additionally, an impact was deemed material
if any individual factor, scale, scope, or irremediable character
received a score higher than three, regardless of the overall severity
score.
Connections of Impacts and Dependencies with
Risks and Opportunities
As part of the financial materiality assessment workshop, we have
linked the financial risk that could arise from environmental and
social impacts.
Scoring: Financial Materiality
Hafnia applied a scoring methodology to evaluate all identified risks
and opportunities. These were deemed material if the average score
of magnitude and likelihood was greater than three. The potential
magnitude was rated on a scale from zero to five, where zero
represented no effect and five represented catastrophic effects. The
likelihood of occurrence was also rated on a scale from zero to five,
with zero indicating an impossible event and five indicating an almost
certain event.
This year, we did not incorporate monetary values into our
assessment due to the complexity of assigning precise figures to
the identified risks and opportunities. Instead, we relied solely on a
qualitative assessment.
Decision-Making Process and Internal Control
Procedures
The ESG Team has developed the methodology and process for
our DMA exercise. Key decisions such as identifying stakeholder
representatives, scoring IROs, and reviewing materiality, were
shared with and validated by the Executive Management and Audit
Committee.
To ensure integrity and accuracy, the process was entirely managed
by the ESG Team, overseeing stakeholder signoffs and conducted a
thorough review of the methodology.

Integration into our Enterprise Risk Management Process and Prioritization
Sustainability-related risks are integrated into our Enterprise Risk Management framework. Along with other identified risks, they contribute to shape Hafnia’s overall risk profile and inform decision-making
processes. All risks whether sustainability related or not are prioritized within our Risk Register based on a scoring system that considers Impact, Likelihood, Vulnerability, and Speed of Onset.
Immaterial ESRS Standards
We have omitted all disclosure requirements under the topical standards ESRS E3: ‘Water and Marine Resources’, ESRS S3: ‘Affected Communities’, and ESRS S4: ‘Consumers and End-users’, as these topics were
assessed as not material in our DMA.
DMA Process Steps
Steps Key Tasks Performed
1 Preparation and
Pre-screening
• Identified topics listed on ESRS 1 AR 16 that are not material for Hafnia’s industry and our business operations, thanks to a pre-screening survey with the Executive Management Team.
• Defined assessment boundaries, thresholds, and stakeholder involvement.
2 Identification
of Internal
and External
Stakeholders
• Identified internal and external stakeholders to participate in our exercise, selecting individuals from various stakeholder categories to ensure a broader ESG perspective.
Note: We did not include affected communities impacted by Hafnia’s operations or those affected by our suppliers’ operations as part of the interviewed stakeholders. While we believe that our offshore
operations do not affect nearby communities, we will consider involving communities near our main suppliers’ operations in the future.
3 Stakeholders
Engagement
• Engaged relevant stakeholders through office webinars and interviews. Their role was to validate or challenge the macroeconomic topics identified as material by the Executive Management Team (EMT)
and to identify industry-specific material topics relevant to Hafnia.
4 Impact, Risk and
Opportunities
(IROs) assessment
• Identified a comprehensive list of potential material impacts, risks and opportunities tagged to related sub-topics under the CSRD.
• Refined and consolidated the topics into broader macro topics and identifying additional relevant and non-relevant items for the exercise.
5 Assessing
materiality
• Evaluate the materiality of IROs through two workshops with management - one on financial material impacts and one on ESG impacts. During these two sessions, the committees were tasked with
scoring the different criteria on IROs.
• Conducted calculations to assess the materiality of the topics.
6 Validation and
reporting
• Validated and refined the identified material IROs in collaboration with external auditors.
• Presented final methodology and results to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

E1 // IRO-1
Description of the Processes to Identify
and Assess Material Climate-Related
Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities
Process to Assess Impacts on Climate Change
As outlined in ESRS2, we conducted workshops and interviews to
inform our assessment. In addition, we leveraged insights from our
previous reporting, GHG emissions analysis, and the Task Force on
Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) exercise performed in
2023. Together, these efforts have been instrumental in enhancing
our understanding of Hafnia’s impact on the climate.
Process to Assess Climate-Related Physical Risks
As part of our 2023 TCFD assessment, we analyzed two climate risk
scenarios: a 1.5-degree Celsius and a 3-degree Celsius pathway.
These scenarios are not reflected in our financial statements, as no
climate-related assumptions have been incorporated. This analysis
helped identify climate-related risks and opportunities across
the short, medium, and long term, and was used for our Double
Materiality Assessment (DMA) in 2024.
For both climate scenarios, the physical impacts of environmental
change were primarily assessed in relation to our vessels and
seafarers, excluding the broader value chain. This assessment was
conducted at a high level and did not include a detailed identification
of climate-related hazards, as we currently do not anticipate
significant impacts from physical climate risks on our business
activities.
Within our DMA, we identified two climate-related physical risks.
However, neither was assessed as a material risk:
• Acute physical risks: Increased operating expenses and potential
revenue loss due to physical risks affecting navigation and port
access.
• Chronic physical risks: Shifts in trading patterns driven by
long-term megatrends, such as rising temperatures and sea
levels.
Process to Assess Climate-Related Transition Risks
As part of our TCFD exercise, we assessed the impact of key climate-
related transition factors on our operations and not on our value
chain. These factors include decarbonization policies in the short-
term, advancements in renewable energy in the medium-term, and
shifts in energy sources in the long-term. This analysis allowed us to
identify how regulatory, technological, and market changes could
impact our business activities.
As part of this analysis, we have not identified any business activities
incompatible with the transition to a climate-neutral economy by
2050. Given the typical scrapping age of our vessels (approximately
25 years), all current assets are expected to be decommissioned well
before that target age.
As part of our DMA, we identified four material climate-related
transition risks and opportunities.
On the risk side, these include the potential non-compliance with
emerging environmental regulations and reduced revenues from
oil transport due to the shift towards renewable energy. On the
opportunity side, we identified the potential to offer new services,
such as sustainable freight solutions, and the opportunity to
transport new products driven by the energy transition.
In addition, we identified several other transition-related risks and
opportunities that, while relevant, were not assessed as material.
These include potential delays in achieving our Net Zero target, the
risk of investing in unsuitable technology, reputational challenges
associated with the decline of fossil fuels, and the opportunity
to expand our services by supporting pool partners in their
decarbonization efforts.

Description of The Process to Identify
and Assess Material Impacts, Risks,
and Opportunities Related to Pollution
Process to Assess Impacts on Pollution
Our process for identifying pollution impacts was guided by our
Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) conducted in line with ESRS 2.
Through workshops, interviews, and insights from our environmental
plan, we collaborated with our Technical team and external technical
managers to gain a comprehensive understanding of pollution
impacts within our operations. At this stage, we have not assessed
pollution impacts across our value chain, therefore, this section
focuses exclusively on our direct operations.
Oil Spills
The risk of an oil spill was assessed during our DMA and was deemed
non-material due to its low likelihood. However, Hafnia remains
committed to prevention, maintaining a zero-oil-spill target, which
was achieved in 2024. To support this, we have a Shipboard Marine
Pollution Emergency Plan (SMPEP) that outlines crew requirements
and the use of pollution prevention equipment during operations
that pose risks.

Description of The Processes to Identify
and Assess Material Water and Marine
Resources-Related Impacts, Risks and
Opportunities
Hafnia’s core operations focus on transportation and do not involve
significant water-intensive activities or marine resource use.
Therefore, this topical standard has been assessed as non-material
from the beginning of our DMA.
E4 // IRO-1
Description of the Process to Identify
and Assess Material Biodiversity and
Ecosystem-Related Impacts, Risks,
and Opportunities
Process to Assess Impacts on Biodiversity and
Ecosystems
Our process for identifying pollution impacts was guided by our
Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) conducted in line with ESRS
2. As part of this assessment, we evaluated Hafnia’s contribution
to drivers of biodiversity loss, impact on species, the extent and
condition of ecosystems, and interactions with ecosystem services.
The assessment focused solely on impacts arising from Hafnia’s
operations and did not include biodiversity or ecosystem impacts
across the value chain.
No material dependencies on biodiversity and ecosystems have been
identified, as Hafnia operates as a service provider and does not rely
directly on natural resources for its core business activities.
Process To Assess Transition, Physical
and Systemic Risks Related to Biodiversity
and Ecosystems
At this stage, we have not assessed any transition or physical risks
and opportunities related to biodiversity and ecosystems. Systemic
risks were also not considered in this year’s Double Materiality
Assessment.
Consultations with Affected Communities
We have not conducted direct consultations with affected
communities when assessing biodiversity and ecosystem-related
IROs, as Hafnia does not operate on land or in proximity to any
community areas. Therefore, such input was not deemed relevant.
Sites Located in or Near Biodiversity-Sensitive
Areas
Hafnia considers the impact of its vessel operations on Marine
Protected Areas (MPAs) through which they may transit. In line with
IMO regulations, our vessels follow specific guidelines when passing
through MPAs and are required to report their entry to a designated
shore-based authority capable of maintaining communication with
the vessel.
Additionally, during ballast water operations, there is a risk of
transferring non-native (non-autochthonous) species between
geographical regions. This can occur in any area where ballast water
is discharged, regardless of its protection status. We have identified
this as a material impact due to its potential to disrupt local marine
diversity and harm native autochthonous species.
The Necessity of Biodiversity Mitigation Measures
Our assessment did not identify an immediate need for additional
biodiversity mitigation measures. However, Hafnia is exploring
partnerships to enhance its approach to biodiversity protection.
E5 // IRO-1
Description of the Processes to Identify
and Assess Material Resource Use and
Circular Economy-Related Impacts,

Process to Assess Impacts on Resource Use and
Circular Economy
Our process for identifying pollution impacts was guided by our
Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) in accordance with ESRS 2.
We did not apply specific screening methodologies for this topic,
nor did we consult with affected communities. Additionally, waste
generated across our supply chain was not considered as part of this
assessment.
G1 // IRO-1
Description of The Processes to Identify
and Assess Material Impacts, Risks and

Integration of Sustainability-Related
Performance in Incentive Schemes
Executive Management compensation consists of both fixed and
incentive-based components, aligned with Hafnia’s remuneration
policy.
Climate-related performance indicators are assessed annually
and may be factored into variable pay at the discretion of the
Remuneration Committee. As this is a discretionary process, no
specific portion of variable remuneration is directly tied to climate-
related metrics.
In 2024, the climate-related Key Performance Indicator for the CEO
and CFO was to stay on track to achieve Hafnia’s goal of “net zero
by 2050” and a 40% reduction in carbon intensity by 2028 (vs. 2008
baseline).
E1-1
Transition Plan for Climate Change
Mitigation
Transition Plan for Climate Change Mitigation
Hafnia is committed to act as a leader in the transition to greener
shipping through its climate strategy. The strategy is built on three
key pillars:
• Lead long-term industry changes by continually exploring
alternative fuels and more environmentally friendly solutions
E1 / Climate Change
• Optimize our vessel’s performance
• Improve transparency in emissions reporting
Our main targets are:
• Achieving the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO)
target of a 40% reduction in carbon intensity (compared to
2008 levels) by 2028, two years ahead of the official deadline.
This will be driven by a combination of energy-saving measures,
implementation of physical energy-saving devices, and a
proactive fleet renewal strategy
• Achieving Net Zero by 2050 in line with the goals of the Paris
Agreement
Hafnia’s Climate Transition Plan does not yet include a detailed,
multi-year roadmap outlining how our business model and strategy
will align with our Net Zero target. In 2025, we will evaluate the
feasibility of a comprehensive transition plan with clearly defined
steps to reach Net Zero. The complexity of this task is heightened
by ongoing uncertainties surrounding the availability of future fuels,
emerging technologies, and the evolving nature of our vessel fleet.
Decarbonization Levers and Key Actions
Our current transition plan outlines the key actions we are
undertaking to achieve a 40% reduction in carbon intensity by 2028
(compared to 2008 levels). This strategy is built around three core
decarbonization levers:
Optimizing Technical Performance of the Fleet
(Short to Mid-Term)
• Modern and Dynamic Fleet: Hafnia prioritizes the optimization
of vessel design and propulsion systems in all newly ordered
ships while maintaining a modern fleet through a renewal
strategy.
• Energy-Saving Devices Onboard: To enhance vessel efficiency,
we install physical energy-reducing technologies across
applicable ships.
ᇶ  In 2024, deployed solutions included Mewis Ducts, Boss
Cap Fins, LED lighting, Variable Frequency Drives (VFD),
Greenoil filter systems, Trim optimization systems, 3-way
condensate valves, Preheater harbour pumps and waste
heat recovery systems.
ᇶ  Our Technical team is also actively exploring and testing
next-generation technologies such as wind propulsion,
fuel cells, advanced propeller designs, and innovative hull
structures.
• Machine Learning for Performance Optimization: Hafnia
leverages machine learning algorithms to proactively perform
anti-corrosive maintenance on vessel decks and is actively
working to extend these capabilities to hull cleaning. This
technology is currently deployed on 50 vessels, with plans to
scale it across the entire fleet. This enables data-driven decision-
making to improve fuel efficiency and operational insights.
Graphics
28E1 / Climate ChangeEnvironment Back to Main Contents Page
Optimize Fleet Operations (Short-Term)
• Operational Excellence: In 2025, Hafnia will migrate its fleet
from COACH Solutions to the ZeroNorth platform, enabling
enhanced vessel performance, voyage planning, and emissions
reduction. Our Smartship technology, already installed on
34 vessels, further supports voyage optimization by enabling
proactive corrective actions, avoiding adverse weather,
optimizing routes and speed, and improving the performance of
underperforming vessels.
• Enhancing Data Transparency:
ᇶ  Through collaboration with DNV, Hafnia uses the
“Emissions Connect” platform to obtain class-verified
carbon emissions data and Carbon Intensity Indicator
(CII) ratings on a voyage-by-voyage basis for all vessels we
operate.
ᇶ  Hafnia is a strong advocate of the Mass Flow Metering
(MFM) in bunker deliveries. The MFM enables precise
measurements of fuel inventories, consumption, and
associated critical parameters for accurate performance
assessments.
▪  Despite broader industry resistance, Hafnia has
actively promoted MFM and has supported leading
suppliers in its implementation.
▪  Hafnia Bunkers is a key participant in the upcoming
ARA MFM consortium, where major players like
Hapag Lloyd, Oldendorff, Trafigura, BP, Vitol, Cargill
are coming together to improve industry standards.
Develop and Implement the Clean Solutions of Tomorrow
(Mid to Long-Term)
• Preparing for Alternative Fuels Propulsion:
ᇶ Dual Fuel Vessels: We are transitioning towards greener
fuels by expanding our dual-fuel fleet. Currently, four
dual-fuel LNG vessels are in operation. In addition, we are
building four dual-fuel methanol vessels, with delivery
expected in 2025-2026.
ᇶ Biofuel Bunkering: In line with the FuelEU Maritime
regulations and Hafnia’s commitment to low-emission
propulsion, the Hafnia Bunkers Team is positioning itself as
a key player in renewable fuel sourcing.
▪  The team is proactively procuring biofuels and LNG
to meet both the regulatory requirements and the
growing demands from the wider Hafnia Bunker
Alliance.
ᇶ Ammonia Bunkering: Hafnia is collaborating with DNV
and the Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) to explore the
feasibility of using ammonia as a future bunkering fuel.
• Ammonia Production and Transportation: Hafnia, alongside
ExxonMobil and MOL, has invested in Clean Hydrogen Works to
develop the Ascension Clean Energy (ACE) project - a large-scale
clean hydrogen ammonia production and export hub. Subject to
Final Investment Decision (FID), the project aims to supply clean
ammonia to Europe and Asia.
• Hafnia plans to further support this effort by constructing
four or five Very Large Ammonia Carriers (VLACs).
• Alternative Energy Transportation Readiness:
ᇶ CO
2
Transport: Hafnia has developed designs for Liquefied
CO₂ (LCO₂) and Very Large CO₂ (VLCO₂) carriers for medium- 
and long-range CO₂ transport. 
ᇶ Biofuel Transport: In 2024, we completed 44 transport
voyages for used cooking oil, which will later be processed
into biofuel, and we plan to expand this practice.
Operational Expenditures (OPEX) and
Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) Required for
Implementation of Action Plan
Hafnia does not publicly disclose the specific OPEX and CAPEX
amounts allocated for the implementation of our Climate Strategy.
This information is considered commercially sensitive as its disclosure
could impact Hafnia’s innovation strategy, thereby risking bargaining
power and negotiating position in relation to purchasing and selling
vessels.
Potential Locked-In GHG Emissions from Key
Assets and Products
While Hafnia newbuilds are equipped with dual-fuel capabilities,
enabling operation on alternative fuel such as methanol or LNG,
and conventional fossil fuels, the majority of our existing fleet still
operates primarily on fossil fuels. This creates potential for locked-in
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over the medium term. These
locked-in emissions will be reduced through our ongoing fleet
modernization strategy.
Aligning Our Economic Activities (Revenues,
CAPEX, OPEX) With Criteria Established
by The EU Taxonomy
As of now, Hafnia does not have plans to align its economic activities
with the criteria established by the EU Taxonomy. For further details
on Eu Taxonomy, please refer to page 39.
Graphics
29E1 / Climate ChangeEnvironment Back to Main Contents Page
Significant CAPEX Amounts Invested During
Reporting Period Related to Coal, Oil, and
Gas-Related Economic Activities
Hafnia activities are not classified under the NACE codes defined as
Coal, Oil, and Gas-related activities. As a result, the CAPEX allocated
to such activities is zero.
Exclusion from EU Paris-Aligned Benchmarks
Hafnia is not excluded from the EU Paris-aligned benchmarks as it
does not meet any of the criteria outlined below:
(1) companies involved in any activities related to controversial
weapons;
(2) companies involved in the cultivation and production of
tobacco;
(3) companies that benchmark administrators find in violation of
the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) principles or the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD) Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises;
(4) companies that derive 1 % or more of their revenues from the
exploration, mining, extraction, distribution or refining of hard
coal and lignite;
(5) companies that derive 10 % or more of their revenues from the
exploration, extraction, distribution or refining of oil fuels;
(6) companies that derive 50 % or more of their revenues from
the exploration, extraction, manufacturing or distribution of
gaseous fuels;
(7) companies that derive 50 % or more of their revenues from
electricity generation with a GHG intensity of more than 100 g
CO
2
e/kWh.
How Our Transition Plan Is Embedded in
and Aligned with Overall Business Strategy
and Financial Planning
Hafnia’s Climate Strategy is fully integrated into our overall
business strategy and financial planning, providing a structured and
accountable approach to decarbonization.
Decarbonization actions and targets are a core part of our corporate
strategy as outlined in ESRS 2 and are embedded in the key
performance indicators (KPIs) of both the CEO and CFO, reinforcing
accountability at the highest levels of leadership.
The transition plan follows a rigorous governance process,
where it is approved by the Executive Management Team (EMT)
and subsequently endorsed by the Board of Directors. Capital
allocation decisions are made with a strategic focus on balancing
our decarbonization goals, regulatory requirements, and long-term
financial sustainability, supporting both our climate commitments
and shareholder value.
Progress in Implementing Transition Plan
The progress on our key targets of our transition plan is assessed
regularly and presented to the Board of Directors once a year. As of
the end of 2024, Hafnia is on track to achieve a reduction of carbon
intensity by 40% by 2028, from 2008.

Climate-Related Physical Risks and
Climate-Related Transition Risks
As part of our Double Materiality Assessment, Hafnia has identified
two financially material climate-related transition risks:
• Inability to comply with new environmental regulations
• The decline in oil transport revenues due to global shifts
towards renewable energy
Resilience Analysis
While we have not yet conducted a comprehensive assessment
of our capacity to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and recover
from climate-related risks, both physical and transitional. These risks
are incorporated into our Enterprise Risk Management framework.
This framework includes vulnerability assessments and mitigation
measures. Additionally, we are analyzing a range of oil demand
forecasts to evaluate their potential financial impact on our business.

The action plan and key initiatives to address most of our material
IROs related to climate change are incorporated into our energy
transition plan, as outlined in section E1-1. The only risk not fully
addressed under E1-1 is the potential inability to comply with stricter
regulations on energy efficiency, alternative fuels, and emissions
reductions. To manage this risk, in addition to our efforts outlined in
the transition plan, we are actively staying ahead of new regulations.
This includes continuous engagement in roundtables and industry
association events, dialogues with legislators and consultants, and
providing the management team and Board of Directors with regular
updates on legislative developments and necessary compliance
actions.
Climate Change Mitigation Actions Presented
by Decarbonization Lever
Hafnia’s current decarbonization levers are presented in E1-1.
Achieved and Expected GHG Emission Reductions
Hafnia tracks its progress in emissions reduction compared to our
main target through the Annual Efficiency Ratio (AER), a key metric
in the maritime industry that measures a vessel’s carbon efficiency.
The AER quantifies CO
2
emissions per unit of cargo-carrying capacity
(deadweight tonnage, or DWT) over a distance traveled (nautical
miles), expressed in grams of CO
2
per deadweight ton-mile (gCO
2
/
dwt*nm). The AER is calculated on an equity basis, reflecting
our share of our vessels. We believe this approach accurately
represents our ownership stake and aligns with our accountability
and responsibility to reduce emissions for these related assets. In
2024, Hafnia achieved an AER of 5.15, representing a 33% reduction
in carbon intensity compared to the IMO’s 2008 baseline, putting us
on track to reach our 40% reduction target by 2028.
The AER approach does not align with the 2024 Scope 1 calculation,
which adheres to the CSRD framework by incorporating financial
and operational control and accounting for all GHG emissions. For
a full overview of our methodologies and emissions, please refer to
section E1-6.

32E1 / Climate ChangeEnvironment Back to Main Contents Page
Significant CAPEX and OPEX Required
to Implement Actions Taken or Planned
Each year, the Technical team analyzes financial investment required
for vessel retrofits, new technologies, and staff training as part of the
annual budget and business planning processes. When a potential
new energy-saving action is identified, the team prepares a business
case to support the investment request.
As per section E1-1, Hafnia cannot disclose the OPEX and CAPEX
amounts required and allocated for the implementation of our
actions as we deem this information as confidential and sensitive.
Hafnia currently does not have plans to align its economic activities
with the criteria established by the EU Taxonomy and therefore has
no attached significant CAPEX and OPEX costs.

As part of Hafnia’s climate strategy, we are committed to reducing
carbon intensity by 40% by 2028 compared to a 2008 baseline -
achieving the IMO’s 2030 target for the shipping industry two years
ahead of schedule. We focus on carbon intensity rather than absolute
emissions as our fleet size continues to change, making intensity a
more meaningful measure. This target includes all our owned vessels
based on equity share and only CO₂ emissions. Our use of the 2008 
baseline aligns with the IMO’s Strategy on the Reduction of GHG
Emissions from Ships. Progress towards this target with its baseline
details is reported in E1-3.
We have also set a Net Zero target for Scope 1 emissions across all
our operations by 2050. While this target is not scientifically based,
this target aligns with the Paris Agreement and supports the goal
of limiting global warming by 1.5°C. It also follows the IMO’s 2050
decarbonization pathway. This target has not yet been externally
assured.
Currently, we have not set targets for Scope 2 emissions, as they are
considered non-material to our company. For Scope 3 emissions, we
are still refining our calculation methodologies in this second year
of reporting. However, since Scope 1 covers Tank-to-Wake emissions
and Scope 3 includes Well-to-Tank emissions, improvements in Scope
1 will also help reduce Scope 3 emissions.
Involvement of Stakeholders to Set Targets
The responsibility for setting targets lies within the Technical and ESG
Teams, who lead the definition process. The Executive Management
Team (EMT) and the Board of Directors hold responsibility for
reviewing and approving these targets. External stakeholders were
not involved in setting these targets, as they are aligned with widely
recognized industry benchmarks.
Expected Decarbonization Levers and
Their Overall Quantitative Contributions
to Achieve GHG Emission Reduction Target
Our decarbonization levers are detailed in section E1-1.
Each vessel performance optimization initiative is assessed through
a structured business case process. We maintain a catalogue of
potential solutions, assessing each one based on technical feasibility,
potential GHG emissions reduction, cost, regulatory alignment, and
data-driven insights. When an initiative shows a positive business
case, it proceeds to further feasibility studies, engineering analysis,
and vendor pricing. We then assess which vessels are suitable for
implementation, enabling us to quantify the initiative’s contribution
to our overall emissions reduction targets. If an initiative is not
deemed viable at the time, it is archived for potential consideration
in the future.

Methodology – Significant Changes
Hafnia is reporting under ESRS for the first year, so no significant changes are reported.
Methodologies, Significant Assumptions, and Emissions Factors used to
Calculate or Measure GHG Emissions
Scope 1: Scope 1 emissions have been calculated based on fuel consumption and using IMO’s Tank-
to-Wake (TTW) emission factors from the Fourth Greenhouse Gas Study. Under Scope 1, we included
emissions from vessels under our financial control—aligned with our financial statements—including
owned vessels, bareboat-in (BB-in) vessels, and time charter-in (TC-in) vessels. Additionally, we
accounted for emissions from vessels under our operational control, such as joint-venture vessels not
covered by a Time-Charter out contract.
Scope 2 Location and Market-based: CO2 emissions have been calculated based on consumption from
purchased electricity, heating, and cooling using the location and market-based emission factors from
IEA (electricity) and EcoInvent (district heating and cooling). Electricity, district cooling and heating
consumption data for our offices were obtained directly from utility bills, except for our Houston
office. For Houston, electricity usage was estimated based on the office’s floor area relative to the total
building size and its overall electricity consumption.
Scope 3: Scope 3 is calculated using a mixed approach depending on the categories. Hafnia is actively
working to enhance data quality, with a focus on progressively increasing the use of primary data,
especially for category 3.1and 3.2. 87% of Hafnia’s Scope 3 emissions are calculated using primary data.
Category

3.2 Capital Goods Included Vessel steel weight is used to calculate emissions related to our new
buildings with the emission factor from Ecoinvent.
For vessel modifications and expenses related to retrofits,
drydocking, and newbuild vessels, Hafnia uses a spend-based
methodology, where we have mapped spend to emission factors in
the CEDA 6 database.
We have not used any supplier-specific data.
3.3 Fuel and energy-
related activities
Included This includes bunker fuels purchased by Hafnia for vessels under
our direct control. This has been calculated by multiplying fuel

39EU Taxonomy Reporting in 2024Environment Back to Main Contents Page
The EU Taxonomy is a classification system established by the
European Union to improve transparency around companies’
business activities and identify those considered environmentally
sustainable. To be classified as sustainable under the Taxonomy
rules, an activity must be, both eligible (fall within the scope of the
Taxonomy) and aligned (meet its technical screening requirements).
As required by Regulation (EU) 2020/852, Hafnia must disclose the
share of its revenues, capital expenditures (CAPEX), and operating
expenditures (OPEX) that are taxonomy-eligible and taxonomy-
aligned. Hafnia’s disclosures have been assessed and prepared in line
with this regulation, which was adopted by the European Parliament
and the Council on 18 June 2020.
Eligible Economic Activities
We have identified our taxonomy-eligible activities by screening the
economic activities in the Climate Delegated Act. Hafnia’s primary
business activities include chartering and operating vessels, along
with conducting maintenance and repair exclusively for our owned
fleet. In addition, we manage and operate vessels on Time-Charter in
or on behalf of our pool partners.
EU Taxonomy Reporting in 2024
The operations related to our owned vessels are classified under
the EU Taxonomy category Sea and Coastal Freight Water Transport,
Vessels for Port Operations, and Auxiliary Activities (CCM 6.10), and
are considered Taxonomy-eligible.
However, we consider our activities generating income from external
vessels as non-eligible under the EU Taxonomy. This is the case for
vessels in Time-Charter in as well as in the Disponent Owner Pool.
Aligned Economic Activities
An activity is considered aligned when it contributes substantially
to one or more of the EU’s environmental objectives, does not
significantly harm any of those objectives, and is carried out in
compliance with minimum social safeguards. From there, we have
screened the eligible activities for EU Taxonomy alignment under
two environmental objectives:
• Climate change mitigation
• Climate change adaptation
Climate Change Mitigation
Under the EU Taxonomy’s technical criteria, vessels primarily used to
transport fossil fuels are not eligible for alignment. Therefore, only
Hafnia’s chemical tankers and IMO Type II tankers, which can carry
chemicals, were considered for alignment. To qualify, a vessel must
also have an Energy Efficiency Index (EEDI) at least 10% below the
required levels of April 1, 2022, and be capable of operating on zero
direct CO
2
emission fuels or renewable sources, including biofuels.
Based on these criteria, 31 vessels of Hafnia’s fleet are considered EU
Taxonomy aligned.
In addition, Hafnia has been assessed to “Do Not Significant Harm
(DNSH)”to any of the other six environmental objectives under the
EU Taxonomy. Hafnia has also implemented and maintains effective
minimum safeguards in line with Article 18 of the Taxonomy
Regulation.
Climate Change Adaptation
None of Hafnia’s activities were found to make a substantial
contribution under the technical screening criteria for this specific
environmental objective. As a result, no activities were identified as
EU Taxonomy-aligned for this objective.

Accounting Methodologies – Taxonomy KPI
The scope of the EU Taxonomy is aligned with the scope of our
Consolidated Financial Statements. Our accounting policies for the
taxonomy KPIs are based on our interpretation of annex I to the
Disclosures Delegated Act (Commission Delegated Regulation (EU)
2021/4987) and available guidelines from the European Commission.
Revenue (Turnover)
Revenue generated from Hafnia’s owned vessels (excluding
time-chartered-in vessels), amounting to USD 1,689,202k, is
considered eligible. In contrast, revenue from time-chartered-
in (TC-in) vessels, totaling USD246,394k, is considered not
eligible. Together, these two components correspond to
the line item ‘Revenue (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels)’ as
presented in note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Additionally, revenue of USD 933,051k from external vessels
operating within disponent-owner pools is also considered not
eligible. However, it forms part of total revenue and aligns with the
line item ‘Revenue (External Vessels in Disponent-Owner Pools)’, also
disclosed in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue associated with taxonomy-aligned activities refers to the
income from the 31 vessels that meet the criteria for EU Taxonomy
alignment.
CAPEX
Capital expenditures (CAPEX) as defined in the Taxonomy is
considered equivalent to the additions to ‘Property, Plant and
Equipment’, as set out in note 9 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, and additions to ‘Intangible Assets’ as set out in note 10
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Eligible CAPEX includes CAPEX linked to our own vessels and
equivalent to the additions to ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’. It
excludes carbon credits that are the additions to ‘Intangible assets.
Aligned CAPEX refers to the portion of eligible CAPEX associated with
the 31 vessels classified as EU Taxonomy-aligned.

OPEX
OPEX as defined in the Taxonomy covers expenditures directly related
to chartering, maintaining and operating vessels, and is equivalent
to ‘Vessel operating expenses’ as well as ‘technical management
expenses’ presented in the “income statement” in the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
OPEX are considered Taxonomy-eligible when they are directly
related to the repair and maintenance of vessels. Accordingly, eligible
OPEX has been calculated by including all repair and maintenance
expenses, along with a proportion of crew costs specifically attributed
to these activities. The allocation of crew-related expenses was
determined in consultation with the Head of Internal and External
Fleet, using an agreed-upon percentage.
Aligned OPEX refers to the portion of eligible OPEX associated with
the 31 vessels classified as EU Taxonomy-aligned.

Policy to Avoid Incidents and Control and Limit
Their Impact on People and the Environment
Our Environmental Management System (EMS) policy provides
guidance on actions the company must take to prevent environmental
incidents, following the “Plan-Do-Check-Act” framework aligned
with the ISO 14001 standard.
Through the HSEQ Management Policy, we affirm our commitment to
delivering cargo and services by our Zero-Harm principles, ensuring
no harm to people, the environment, or cargo. To uphold this
commitment, Hafnia continuously monitors, audits, and improves its
safety systems. We implement control measures to mitigate risks and
ensure compliance with relevant standards. We conduct systematic
risk assessments and extend our safety protocols to contractors and
stakeholders. Proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is
enforced, supported by regular training and emergency drills. We
also maintain a strong focus on quality, regulatory compliance, and
actively encourage the reporting of non-compliance or potential
risks.
E2-2
Actions and Resources Related to Pollution
Our Actions to Address Material Impacts, Manage
Material Risks, and Pursue Material Opportunities
In addition to the fuel reduction initiatives described in E1-1, which
contribute to lowering non-GHG emissions, we implement specific
measures to ensure compliance with MARPOL regulations governing
NOx and SOx emissions.
All vessels are required to always use compliant fuels and adhere
to both international and local SOx emission limits. For vessels
equipped with Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (EGCS), we enforce
strict compliance with operational parameters and monitoring
requirements. Furthermore, our Newbuilding Team and vessel
managers ensure that all new vessel designs comply with NOx
emission standards. The effectiveness of Hafnia’s policies and
measures is monitored through inspections conducted by flag states
and port state authorities.
E2-3
Targets Related to Pollution
Our primary focus is on reducing GHG emissions, which also
contributes to lowering overall air pollution. As such, Hafnia has
not set specific targets for air pollutants. However, we remain fully
compliant with MARPOL limits and all relevant international and
local regulations.
We continuously monitor NOx and SOx emissions and report any
violations through our quarterly Environmental Management Plan.
While we currently have no plans to establish dedicated air pollution
targets, we are open to developing them should future evaluations
indicate a need.
E2-4
Pollution of Air
Pollutants emitted by Hafnia are reported below in accordance with
Annex  II,  except  for  CH₄  and  N₂O  emissions,  which  are  disclosed 
under ESRS E1 Climate Change as part of our Scope 1 emissions.
Hafnia also emits hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), however,
we are currently unable to report this data due to inconsistencies
across available datasets. All pollution data is sourced directly from
Hafnia’s vessels. As such, no additional breakdown by source has
been provided.
Pollutant Emissions (tonnes)

Changes over Time
As this is Hafnia’s first year reporting under the ESRS framework, no
significant changes are reported.
Measurements Methodologies
NOx, SOx, PM₁₀, and PM2.5 emissions are calculated based on fuel 
consumption. Every day, vessel’s fuel consumptions are reported
manually by the ships into our system. Emissions are calculated
manually by multiplying the fuel consumption by emission factors
from the 4th IMO GHG Study. However, we plan to automate and
integrate this process into the Emission Connect platform in the
short-term.

Specific Matters Coverage by the Policy
Hafnia’s policy does not specifically reference biodiversity or ecosystem loss, nor does it directly address the identified material impact of invasive alien species. Instead, it outlines a general commitment to minimizing
the environmental impact of our operations, including on biodiversity.
The following matters are not covered by the policy, as they were assessed as not relevant or material during our Double Materiality Assessment (DMA):
• Material dependencies or transition risks and opportunities (none were identified)
• Social consequences related to biodiversity and ecosystem impacts
• Operational sites owned, leased, or managed in or near protected areas or biodiversity-sensitive areas outside protected zones
• Traceability of products, components, or raw materials with significant actual or potential impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems along the value chain
• Production, sourcing, or consumption from ecosystems managed to maintain or enhance biodiversity conditions

legislation and actively explore initiatives
aimed at reducing impacts on biodiversity.
• Ballast Water Treatment Systems: Hafnia has installed ballast water treatment systems across 100% of its fleet, in compliance
with IMO regulations, to minimize the release of invasive alien species into non-native environments.
• Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), Hafnia strives to avoid these areas whenever possible by rerouting all vessels passing through.
In cases where passage through an MPA is unavoidable, the company adheres to IMO guidelines, including speed restrictions,
limitations on ballast water discharge and anchoring, and strict regulations on ship discharges.
• Underwater Radiated Noise (URN), Hafnia has initiated a pilot project with DNV to study the impact of Underwater Radiated
Noise generated by two vessels on cetaceans, aiming to better understand and mitigate potential disturbances to marine life.
No significant OPEX or CAPEX are required to implement action planned or underway.
Biodiversity Offsets and Stakeholder Engagement
Hafnia has not used biodiversity offsets as part of its approach to reducing impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems. Additionally, local and indigenous knowledge as well as nature-based solutions have not been
incorporated into our biodiversity and ecosystems-related action.
E4-4
Targets and Metrics related to Biodiversity and Ecosystems
We have not adopted any targets for biodiversity that follows the mandatory minimum disclosure requirements defined in ESRS 2.
Currently, shipping legislation provides limited guidance on biodiversity. In response, Hafnia is working with classification societies to explore appropriate measurement methods and assess the true extent of our
impact, particularly in relation to marine protected areas and cetacean habitats. Once this process is complete and suitable metrics are identified to track progress, we will establish biodiversity-related targets. In the
meantime, Hafnia remains committed to minimizing the risk of oil spills and ensuring that, in the event of an incident, lessons are thoroughly learned, and corrective measures are implemented to prevent recurrence.

Targets Related to Resource Use and Circular Economy
Hafnia does not currently have specific targets related to the identified IRO on vessel scrapping, as this has not been relevant to date, as we have not scrapped any vessels. In the long term, as Hafnia gains exposure
and experience in this area, we may consider setting targets such as establishing a recycling percentage for materials recovered from each vessel.
In the near term, we have set a target to reduce onboard waste by aiming for a 10% reduction in plastic usage by 2028, using 2023 levels as the baseline year. Progress toward this target is actively monitored and
reported quarterly in our Environmental Management Plan. The data is subject to periodic audits, including random checks by office personnel during internal audits, as well as reviews conducted by classification
societies, the Ship Inspection Report Program (SIRE), and Port State Control (PSC) inspections.

subsequent waste disposal. Our HSEQ team then reviews, analyzes,
and consolidates this information.
Once the waste is handed over to port reception facilities, Hafnia
no longer has direct oversight of its final treatment or disposal.
Therefore, end-of-life treatment is estimated using informed
assumptions based on standard waste dismantling and disposal
practices.
The following key assumptions are used in the reported calculations:
• Precision in estimating waste volume
• Conversion of waste volume to mass
• Waste management and disposal methodologies
Waste metrics are recorded in compliance with MARPOL
requirements. These data are subject to random audits conducted
by office personnel as part of internal audits, class authorities, SIRE,
and PSC inspections.
Waste generated by shore-based employees in our offices is
estimated based on office location.

Scope of Our Reporting on S1
Hafnia has included its entire workforce in the scope of its Double
Materiality Assessment exercise. Hafnia defines its workforce as
employees who have a direct contract with the company, including:
• Shore-based employees (referred to as onshore employees)
• Seafarers working onboard Hafnia vessels are employed by the
company (referred to as seafarers for the internally managed
fleet).
• Seafarers working onboard Hafnia vessels that are operated by
external technical managers (referred to as seafarers for the
externally managed fleet).
When referring specifically to seafarers, the disclosed information
covers both those on the internally managed fleet and those on the
externally managed fleet.
Further details about how these categories of employees were
considered are provided in the description of our Double Materiality
Assessment methodology. The identified impacts, risks, and
opportunities and how they relate to the company’s operations
are explained in Chapter ESRS 2: Material Impacts, Risks and
Opportunities and their interaction with the Strategy and Business
model.
Material Impacts on Our Workforce from
Transition Plans Related to the Environment
We have not identified any material impact on our workforce arising
from transition plans aimed at reducing negative environmental
impact and achieving greener, climate-neutral operations. Similarly,
our analysis did not reveal any negative impact on workers resulting
from the transition to greener and climate-neutral economies.
Operations at Significant Risk of Incidents
of Forced Labor or Compulsory Labor
We have identified risks in our vessel’s operations where seafarers
may face physical injuries, mental health challenges, security threats,
and potential human rights violations.
Hafnia’s collaboration with crewing agencies in countries like the
Philippines and India, where child labor and human rights violations
are reported, also poses risks. These risks include seafarers being
charged fees that should be covered by employers. Recruitment in
these regions is considered high-risk and requires ongoing evaluation
and oversight.
Employees at Greater Risk of Harm
We develop our understanding of workforce demographics and their
challenges through various channels:
• Employee Engagement Surveys: These surveys are conducted
at least once annually across our vessels and offices to help
assess overall workplace sentiment.
• Office-Based Diversity Surveys: Anonymous surveys aligned
with the Diversity Study Group guidelines are conducted,
analyzing responses by age, gender, job role, and region. This
helps us identify patterns and systemic concerns.
• Seafarers Feedback: Through questionnaires and feedback
sessions, we collect insights into recurring challenges faced by
specific groups at sea.
PPeople of different sexual orientation or/and certain nationalities
along with women on board Hafnia vessels may face a higher risk
of racial, sexual and verbal harassment due to the historically male-
dominated nature of the maritime industry and cultural differences
that can heighten these challenges. However, none of our material
risks or opportunities related to our workforce impacts and
dependencies are specific to any particular group.

Human Rights Policy
Graphics
55S1 / Own WorkforceSocial Back to Main Contents Page
Hafnia’s human rights policy affirms our commitment to uphold
human rights in line with:
• The OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises
• The United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human
Rights; and the
• ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
In addition to aligning with international standards, Hafnia’s Human
Rights Policy affirms stakeholders’ rights to freedom of association
and collective bargaining. We focus on raising employee awareness
and promoting a speak-up culture, encouraging staff to report any
violations they experience or witness (see more under G1-1).
• Onshore, this includes awareness on company town halls,
infographic screensavers and mandatory Human Rights training
planned for 2025.
• Onboard, seafarers receive training and periodic refreshers.
New crew members sign contracts that clearly outline their
rights upon joining a vessel.
Hafnia’s Human Rights Policy addresses key human rights issues,
including trafficking, and forced labor as outlined by the ILO. We also
enforce a specific policy to prevent stowaways on our vessels.
Policies and Procedures on Preventing, Mitigating,
and Acting on Incidents of Discrimination
Hafnia’s DIBE Policy addresses age, nationality, gender identity, sexual
orientation, ability/disability, background, and other characteristics
that make our employees unique as grounds for discrimination.
Our policy does not include ethnic origin, political opinion, religion,
national extraction, or social origin, as we regard these characteristics
private and do not wish to categorize individuals based on them.
Several mechanisms promote inclusion and ensure discrimination is
prevented, mitigated and acted upon once detected:
• Hafnia provides an employee grievance and disciplinary
procedure accessible via the intranet, which includes counselling
or verbal warnings, written warnings, and disciplinary action.
For seafarers, these procedures are available on their internal
platforms. Grievance and termination processes are covered in
their collective bargaining agreements (CBA).
• Hafnia and external technical managers conduct surveys and
feedback sessions to monitor workplace conditions and identify
areas for improvement.
• A diversity committee, composed of shore-based employees
including some with seafaring experience, is responsible for
driving diversity initiatives and tracking progress on established
targets. The outcomes of the discussion are shared with the
external technical managers to ensure aligned action.
• Hafnia has a continuous Ambitious Leadership Program both
onshore and at sea. This program aims to foster continuous
leadership development and create a culture of psychological
safety.
To ensure the protection of individuals at greater risk of vulnerability,
Hafnia has implemented several measures.
Female crew members must sail in pairs (at least), and each is
assigned a Designated Person Ashore (DPA) who can be contacted
in case of an emergency. Hafnia aims to create a more inclusive
and comfortable environment for women onboard by redesigning
vessel spaces to include separate changing rooms, ensuring properly
fitting personal protective equipment (PPE), and providing boiler
suits tailored for women. Additionally, Hafnia’s DIBE policy highlights
the critical role of leaders in preventing, addressing, and taking
disciplinary action against any behavior that contradicts Hafnia’s
values, purpose, or vision.

Processes for Engaging with Own Workers
and Workers’ Representatives about
Impacts
Engagement with our Workforce and
Actions Identified to Address Negative Impacts
Workforce engagement is managed by the Head of People, Culture
& Strategy for onshore team members and the Head of Crewing for
seafarers. Engagement examples include:
• All employees: Bi-annual Engagement and Diversity Surveys, a
Whistleblowing platform and hotline.
• Shore-based employees: Strategy Offsite for Leadership
Group, Monthly Townhalls, Ongoing communication through
company intranet, company events and regular conversation
with managers.
• Seafarers – internally managed fleet: Crewing conferences,
At-Sea Advisory Board meetings bi-annually, and WhatsApp
groups with women seafarers.
• Seafarers – externally managed fleet: Ad hoc surveys, at least
one annual seminar with all the different technical managers.
• Seafarers Unions: Regular discussions represented by the Head
of Crewing to gather input and address concerns.
Graphics
56S1 / Own WorkforceSocial Back to Main Contents Page
How Decisions Are Influenced by Employee
Perspectives
Feedback obtained from various engagement channels is included
in Hafnia’s decision-making processes. Feedback is discussed and,
if deemed relevant, incorporated into an action plan. Decisions
are communicated through monthly town hall meetings, crewing
conferences, the intranet and direct communication from leadership,
ensuring all employees are aware of actions taken. Hafnia has a
Diversity Committee both onshore and at sea, which drives the DIBE
agenda.
Seafarers on externally managed vessels are engaged through
their technical managers, who are in constant conversation with
Hafnia’s team to implement mitigation strategies, such as new
safety protocols. Cadets and junior officers regularly provide training
feedback, which informs future programs. The Head of Technical
oversees engagement with external managers regarding these crew
members.
Our Framework Agreements with Workers’
Representatives related to Human Rights
Hafnia does not have a Global Framework Agreement in place. All
seafarers are covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Effectiveness of Our Engagement with Employees
To ensure the effectiveness of engagement channels, Hafnia has set
a target of achieving a response rate of over 90% in the engagement
survey. Results from surveys are reviewed by the People, Culture
& Strategy Team and Crewing teams to identify necessary actions.
Hafnia additionally conducts data analysis and benchmarks the
results against other companies in the shipping industry.

S1-3
Processes to Remediate Negative Impacts
and Channels for Own Workers to Raise
Concerns
Approach to Remediation in Case of Material
Negative Impact and Assessment of Effectiveness
Once an issue is identified, Hafnia takes corrective and supportive
actions to prevent harmful practices from occurring in the future.
These measures range from implementing new safety protocols,
improving working conditions, or offering professional support and
rehabilitation services to affected employees. The governance of our
remediation efforts is overseen by the People, Culture & Strategy
and Crewing department in collaboration with the Leadership Group,
who ensure that corrective actions are promptly implemented.
Corrective actions are implemented, and a periodic follow-up review
is set up to ensure the effectiveness of the remedy. If necessary,
additional actions are taken to further address the issue.
For seafarers working on externally managed vessels, in the event of
an issue, we advise the external manager to initiate an investigation
by hiring a third party. Once the investigation begins, the external
manager is responsible for providing the Hafnia team with regular
updates and the team remains involved until a resolution is reached,
which could include actions such as the termination of the individual
responsible for the issue.
Channels for Raising Concerns
Hafnia encourages open communication and invites all employees to
speak up if they have concerns about inappropriate behavior within
the organization. Seafarers aboard externally managed vessels are
encouraged to use their own company’s whistleblowing systems
first. See more details about the different channels under G1-1.
Hafnia ensures that all employees are aware of the available reporting
channels through periodic refreshers of its policies, communication
on the company’s intranet, townhalls and posters onboard vessels.
Additionally, Hafnia’s office employees are required to confirm
annually their awareness of the Code of Conduct, which includes
details about the whistleblowing system. The platform is accessible
to all and can be accessed both online and by phone, with different
contact numbers provided for various locations.
Effectiveness of the Channels for Concerns
Issues raised through the Whistleblowing Platform are monitored
directly within the platform, with effectiveness assessed based on
the number of cases raised. A similar approach is applied to the DPA
system for seafarers. Issues reported through the Open-Door policy
are not systematically tracked, unless the relevant person chooses
to report them to the Whistleblowing Platform. Currently, we do not
use KPIs to measure resolution rates or employee satisfaction with
the procedure.
The effectiveness of engagement with seafarers on externally
managed vessels is assessed by the number of cases reported
through their whistleblowing platform and participation in crewing
conferences.

How We Ensure that Our Practices Do Not Cause
or Contribute to Material Negative Impacts
on Our Workforce
We ensure that our work practices do not cause or contribute to
material negative impact on our workforce - addressing conflicts
between workforce protection and business pressures by prioritizing
alternative solutions, such as reskilling, over layoffs when cost-cutting
is necessary. Instead of terminating employees, Hafnia prioritizes
reskilling and identifying new positions within the company where
possible. When terminating business relationships, we adhere
to international labor standards, internal ethical guidelines, and
national legislation to guide our decisions, ensuring that severance
is provided in accordance with the labor laws of the country where
the employee is employed. To monitor effectiveness, we track
data through employee surveys and KPIs like turnover rates and
satisfaction, ensuring continuous improvement and compliance with
labor standards.
In the event of a human rights breach on an externally managed
vessel, an investigation is launched. Hafnia closely monitors the
process, requesting regular updates from technical managers until
the issue is resolved. If the identified breach is found to be systemic
within the other company, we reserve the right to terminate our
partnership.
Effectiveness of Our Actions
In addition to monitoring specific targets and actions for identified
IROs, we assess the effectiveness of our measures through various
audits. This includes compliance with standards such as ISO 14001
and ISO 9001, as well as internal audits. If we observe that certain
negative impacts have become systemic, along with external
technical managers we enhance relevant policies, training programs
and educational campaigns and continues to follow up until the issue
is resolved.
The effectiveness of actions and initiatives is monitored through engagement surveys and direct feedback sessions at crewing conferences in
the case of seafarers. We continuously benchmark against industry peers and participate in industry roundtables to drive improvements and
measure the efficiency of our actions.

We are reporting the number of employees as a headcount figure at
the end of the reporting period, which can be considered a limitation
when it comes to seafarers. Unlike shore-based employees who
typically have fixed, long-term contracts, seafarers often work on
short-term or rotational contracts (e.g., 3 months on, 3 months off).
A headcount approach may then overestimate the total workforce
by counting seafarers who are off duty but still employed.

Process for Setting Targets, Including How We
Engaged the Workforce
The targets for DIBE are established by the DIBE committee, which
consists of three Executive Management members. These individuals
focus on gathering data from employee engagement surveys,
managing diversity initiatives both onshore and at sea and setting
related targets.
Health and safety targets are regularly monitored and benchmarked
against industry standards by the Technical team. The team gathers
feedback from the crew and analyses performance data and the
number of accidents throughout the year. Based on this analysis,
they review and adjust the targets accordingly.
How We Track Performance and Actions
Targets are monitored by their respective competent business unit
owners, without the involvement of workforce or its representatives.
The performance results of our targets are reviewed by the relevant
committees and shared with the Board of Directors annually.
In case of any challenges, actions are escalated to the CEO. Lessons
learned and opportunities for improvement are discussed by
the appropriate teams or committees, leading to adjustments in
targets and plans to ensure their achievement. These updates are
communicated to employees in the offices during townhall meetings
and on Hafnia’s intranet. Seafarers receive several messages to the
fleet, emails and periodic refreshers on policies.

Remuneration Metrics
(Pay Gap and Total Remuneration)
Pay Gap Between Female and Male Employees
Seafarers
Hafnia’s gender pay gap is equal to 62% for seafarers. This number
has been calculated considering the gross hourly pay calculated as
the 2024 monthly wage, 4 weeks and 44 hours per week.
There is no gender pay gap among seafarers of the same rank and
nationality, as salaries are determined by the Collective Bargaining
Agreement (CBA), which applies equally to all. Additionally, wages are
benchmarked annually for different nationalities based on industry
standards. This process results in nationality-specific wage scales
that apply uniformly to all seafarers, ensuring equal pay irrespective
of gender.
Shore-based Employees
The gender pay gap for shore-based employees in 2024 is equal to
42.9%, and this is calculated as an annual salary considering 260 days
a year and 8 working hours per day.
Data is compiled using employee compensation records from our
HR system, covering all full time, part time and contract employees.
Remuneration includes base salary, bonuses and long-term
incentives. The gender pay gap reflects workforce composition,
particularly in senior leadership and technical roles, where female
representation is evolving.
Difference Between the Highest Paid Employee
and Median
The annual total remuneration ratio is 30 for seafarers and 26 for
employees working in the offices. The remuneration ratio may
fluctuate due to one-time payments or variations in long term
incentives for the highest paid individual.
The following formula was used for the calculation: Annual total
remuneration for the company´s highest paid individual / Median
employee annual total remuneration (excluding the highest paid
individual).

Incidents, Complaints and
Severe Human Rights Impacts
Work-Related Incidents and Complaints
Over the past year, the number of reported incidents on our
Whistleblowing platform has increased. This is likely due to a
targeted campaign promoting a stronger speaking-up culture on
Hafnia’s Whistleblowing platform.

are examined on a case-by-case basis and discussed with Executive
Management. Incidents are substantiated through investigations,
during which the identity of the reporter if known may be revealed
to the investigator if necessary for resolving the case. Individuals
will always be notified if their identity needs to be disclosed, and

S2 / Workers In the Value Chain
As part of our DMA, we have not identified any risks or opportunities
stemming from impacts and dependencies on value chain workers.
As a result, no specific groups within the value chain have been
identified as facing particular risks or opportunities.
Scope of Our Reporting on S2 and Types of
Workers in the Value Chain Subject to
Material Impact
The workforce in Hafnia’s value chain is included in the scope of the
Double Materiality Assessment Exercise.
Three main categories of workforce types have been assessed that
may be impacted by Hafnia. All of these are within our upstream
value chain:
• Supplier workforce: Hafnia has a large global supply chain with
over 6,000 suppliers. Some of these suppliers operate in regions
where weak enforcement of labor laws, political instability, or
socio-economic factors may result in human rights breaches.
• Workforce in shipyards: Hafnia constructs newbuilds vessels at
shipyards in regions with documented human rights violations
(e.g. forced labor, underpaid labor, and excessive working
hours).
We have not assessed any potential impact on the workers of our
downstream value chain, e.g. on our customers.
Locations with Significant Risk of Child Labor,
Forced Labor, or Compulsory Labor in Our
Value Chain
Hafnia has not yet conducted an assessment to identify high-risk
geographies within its value chain for child labor or forced labor.
However, based on known industry risks and NGO reports, regions
with weak enforcement of human rights laws like China and South-
East Asia may present a higher risk of violating practices.
Value Chain Workers at Greater Risk of Harm
Hafnia has not yet conducted a comprehensive assessment to identify
who in the supply chain may be at a greater risk of harm. However,
we maintain active engagement with both general suppliers and
those related to yards.

Human Rights Policy Commitments Relevant to
Value Chain Workers
Hafnia’s Human Rights Policy, described in section S1-1-Own
Workforce, extends our commitment to respecting human rights
beyond our own employees to include all workers across our
value chain. It is founded on the UN Guiding Principles on Business
and Human Rights, as well as the ILO Declaration on Fundamental
Principles and Rights at Work. It is addressing key human rights
issues, including trafficking, and forced labor.
Additionally, Hafnia requires its suppliers to follow all relevant laws,
regulations, and international standards on labor practices and
human rights, as outlined in its Supplier Code of Conduct. To ensure
they meet these standards, Hafnia carries out random inspections on
selected suppliers.
Engagement with Value Chain Workers
At present, Hafnia does not engage directly with other categories
of workers in the value chain, however, we plan to expand our
engagement efforts in the short-term.
Measures to Provide Remedy for Human Rights
Impacts
All measures for addressing human rights impacts, described in
the S1-1-Own Workforce chapter, are also available to workers
in Hafnia’s value chain. They are covered by the same policies as
Hafnia’s employees, including access to the whistleblowing platform.
In cases where we identify potential adverse human rights impacts,
we are committed to promptly providing remedies. Our grievance
and remediation approach includes addressing any adverse human
rights impacts on individuals, workers, and communities that we
have caused or contributed to.
Cases of Human Rights Violations in the
Value Chain
In 2024, Hafnia has not identified any breaches of its Supplier Code
of Conduct or human rights violations within its supply chain through
audits and supplier background checks. However, we acknowledge
that we currently lack the capacity to fully assess our entire value
chain for potential violations of these principles.
In 2025, we aim to strengthen our commitment by mapping our
supply chain, conducting due diligence, and enhancing supplier
engagement through annual questionnaires.
S2-2
Processes for Engaging with Value Chain
Workers About Impacts
How we Engage with our Value Chain Workers
Supplier workforce: Our engagement with suppliers is primarily
taking place through selected audits conducted throughout the year.
Shipyard workforce: Hafnia does not have direct contact with
the shipyard workforce. Our point of contact is with the shipyard
management during drydocking or newbuild periods.
Due to the currently limited level of engagement with suppliers,
Hafnia has not yet incorporated workers’ perspectives into decision-
making or activities aimed at addressing potential negative impacts.
To strengthen its engagement approach, Hafnia joined the Business
and Human Rights Accelerator program in 2024, to deepen its
understanding of supply chain mapping, due diligence, and
grievance mechanisms for addressing identified negative impacts.
Complementing this effort, Hafnia also signed up for a supplier
engagement platform in 2024. Beginning in 2025, this platform will
facilitate more direct and continuous engagement with suppliers
across the supply chain.
Hafnia does not have a Global Framework Agreement, or similar
agreement in place to demonstrate its commitment to respecting
the human rights of value chain workers.
Gaining Insight into Vulnerable Workers
As part of our commitment to strengthening supply chain
engagement, Hafnia will identify targeted actions to gain better
insight into vulnerable workers.

Processes to Remediate Negative Impacts
and Channels for Value Chain Workers to
Raise Concerns
Approach to Remediation of Material
Negative Impact
Hafnia has not yet taken action to remediate the negative impacts
identified in the DMA. However, it plans to start in 2025 by mapping
its supply chain and engaging suppliers by sending questionnaires
about their business and identify any potential negative impacts.
Channels for Value Chain Workers
to Raise Concerns
The workforce in Hafnia’s value chain has access to Hafnia’s
whistleblowing platform. Suppliers are informed about Hafnia’s
reporting channels through the Supplier Code of Conduct, Hafnia’s
website, and briefings with Hafnia’s procurement team.
Hafnia’s whistleblowing policy includes a non-retaliation clause that
protects all workers across the value chain. However, we have not yet
assessed how aware value chain workers are of these communication
channels or how much they trust them to raise concerns.
Effectiveness of Channels for Concerns
Hafnia tracks and monitors all cases raised through the reporting
channels until their closure. Cases are handled on a case-by-case
situation. If there is an immediate risk to workers, such as forced
labor or unsafe conditions, Hafnia will take urgent action. This may
include requesting corrective measures, notifying authorities, or
suspending collaboration with the involved parties.
S2-4
Taking Action on Material Impacts on Value Chain Workers, Approaches to Managing
Material Risks and Pursuing Material Opportunities Related to Value Chain Workers, and
Effectiveness of Those Actions
Our Action to Address Material Impacts
Starting in 2025, Hafnia will initiate a supply chain mapping process to identify high-risk areas for potential human rights violations. This will
serve as the foundation for a more detailed risk assessment, enabling us to define targeted actions moving forward.

How We Ensure That Our Practices Do Not Cause or
Contribute to Material Negative Impacts on Value
Chain Workers
To help ensure individuals in Hafnia’s supply chain are not negatively
impacted by its practices, Hafnia requires all suppliers to sign the
Supplier Code of Conduct before entering business relationships. The
company also conducts assessments of new suppliers and performs
random audits to verify ongoing compliance with the Code and
adherence to Hafnia’s policies.
Incidents Reported Related to Value Chain Workers
At Hafnia, we are not aware of any reported or unreported severe
human rights issues or incidents involving workers in our value chain.

Targets Related to Managing Material
Negative Impacts, Advancing Positive
Impacts, and Managing Material Risks

Currently, we have not established specific time-bound or outcome-
oriented targets to address negative impacts or promote positive
outcomes for workers in our value chain. This is because we are not
yet fully able to monitor the effectiveness of our policies and actions
in managing our material sustainability-related impacts on these
workers.
Before engaging with suppliers, Hafnia conducts a Know Your
Supplier (KYS) process to verify their background and performs
periodic audits to ensure compliance with company policies. In 2025,
we plan to strengthen our supply chain engagement by implementing
enhanced due diligence procedures to identify and address any
negative impacts.

How We Establish, Develop, Promote, and
Evaluate Corporate Culture
Hafnia is committed to maintaining a robust corporate culture that
aligns with our strategic objectives, industry standards, and our CARE
values (Collaborative, Ambitious, Reliable and Enduring). Corporate
culture serves as the foundation of our governance framework
and is framed via core policies, including our Code of Conduct. Our
leadership and our employees shape Hafnia’s culture and set high
standards for how we conduct business.
New employees are introduced to Hafnia’s culture during the
onboarding process, which includes a guided explanation of Hafnia’s
CARE values and a welcome session with the CEO. Furthermore,
office employees bi-annually complete an engagement survey,
to assess, among other topics, whether the company continues to
uphold its culture and values. Our People, Culture and Strategy team
continuously evaluates whether Hafnia’s culture and values remain
relevant, adjusting as necessary to ensure they reflect Hafnia’s
evolving environment and strategic direction.
Speak-Up Culture and Whistle Blowing
Hafnia ensures the identification and reporting of concerns through
robust systems and mechanisms. Compliance training helps detect
and prevent non-compliance and unethical behavior. All employees,
contractors, and stakeholders can report concerns via a 24/7
whistleblowing platform that allows for anonymous reporting. There
is also an open-door policy encouraging shore-based employees to
raise concerns with their line managers, Heads of Departments, or
the People, Culture and Strategy Team without fear of retaliation.
Additionally, seafarers may report concerns directly to the shore-
based HSEQ team through the Designated Person Ashore (DPA)
system.
Hafnia actively promotes its whistleblowing platform on an annual
basis through town halls, infographics, and awareness sessions with
how-to guides, emphasizing the option to report anonymously.
Hafnia prohibits any form of retaliation against whistleblowers,
prioritizes confidentiality and makes every effort to safeguard their
identity.
All concerns reported through the Whistleblowing channel are
initially reviewed by the Head of People, Culture and Strategy or the
Head of Technical. For substantiated cases, an investigation plan is
developed, assigning the appropriate internal or external resources.
The investigator ensures compliance with whistleblowing regulations,
data protection, and non-retaliation policies. Whistleblower
anonymity is maintained unless disclosure is legally required or
deemed necessary. The fact-finding process may involve interviews,
document reviews, and data analysis to establish the facts. Upon
conclusion, findings are documented, and corrective or disciplinary
actions are implemented, including policy or procedural changes
to prevent recurrence. When relevant, key findings and resolutions
are reported to management and the Board of Directors, ensuring
confidentiality throughout the process.
The Compliance & Executive Project Team performs regular reviews
of reporting and investigation processes to ensure effectiveness and
alignment with regulatory and industry standards. User feedback is
also analyzed to enhance accessibility and build trust.
Training on Business Conduct
Onshore Hafnia employees take part in annual mandatory training
that covers key compliance areas, including Anti-Bribery and Anti-
Corruption, Anti-Trust, Sanctions, and GDPR. Additional targeted
sessions are offered for high-risk functions and may include support
from external legal experts.
Company policies and training materials are accessible on Hafnia’s
intranet as well as on a shared Platform for seafarers.
G1-2
Management of Relationship with Suppliers
Late Payment Prevention
Hafnia maintains a strict policy of paying vendors within the agreed
upon credit terms, which range from 30 days to 60 days, depending
on the specific contract with each supplier.
Payments are processed on a bi-weekly basis in batches. Late
payment may occasionally occur due to late receipt of invoices.
Outstanding invoices receive but not paid are reviewed monthly
to ensure they are not overdue. Open purchase orders with goods
receipt are also reviewed and followed up on a quarterly basis to
ensure timely receipt of vendor invoices.
Information about Managing Relationships
with Suppliers
Strong supplier relationships support Hafnia’s strategic objectives,
ensuring business continuity and mitigating risks. Regular
engagement with our suppliers is maintained to align on mutual
goals and interests. While we do not have a formal policy to minimize
supply chain risk, we have established practices to ensure the
continued availability of critical supplies, such as personal protective
equipment and onboard catering.
We expect our suppliers to comply with Hafnia’s Supplier Code of
Conduct that sets clear expectations regarding ethical conduct, legal
compliance, environmental responsibility, and the protection of
human rights. To ensure adherence, we conduct annual audits on a
Graphics
75G1 / Business ConductGovernance Back to Main Contents Page
selected sample of suppliers to gather feedback on their operations
and their relationship with Hafnia.
Starting in 2025, we will strengthen our efforts by conducting
suppliers’ due diligence via comprehensive questionnaires designed
to collect detailed information about their emissions and business
practices including human rights standards. This will enable Hafnia
to take a proactive approach and increase visibility into potential
human rights breaches within the supply chain - identified as one
of the key negative impacts in our Double Materiality Assessment
(DMA) exercise.
G1-3
Prevention and Detection of Corruption or
Bribery
Functions Most at Risk in Respect of Corruption
and Bribery
Hafnia’s high-risk functions to corruption and bribery include:
• Vessel Operations involving interactions with port authorities
and customs officials, which may present risks related to
facilitation payments or undue influence.
• Procurement & Vendor Management carrying bribery risks
associated with supplier selection, contract negotiations, and
payment processes, particularly in regions with complex or
varying regulatory environments.
• Commercial Activities involving customer relations, market
negotiations, and dealings with intermediaries, agents, and
brokers.
• Government & Regulatory Affairs involving engagement with
public officials during inspections and regulatory processes,
posing potential risks of improper influence.
• Finance & Accounts Payable managing payments,
reimbursements, and transaction approvals presenting
potential risks of fraud, misappropriation, or unauthorized
payments.
Procedures in Place to Prevent, Detect, and
Address Allegations or Incidents of Corruption
or Bribery
Hafnia maintains a robust framework to prevent, detect, and address
corruption and bribery, ensuring compliance with ethical, legal, and
regulatory obligations. Governance is overseen by the Compliance
& Executive Projects and HSEQ team and upheld through Board of
Director oversight, with periodic reporting on investigations and
mitigation measures at the executive level. Safety is paramount, with
the only exception to the zero-tolerance policy being situations of
duress involving threats to life, limb, or liberty.
Prevention measures include a strict Anti-Bribery & Corruption
Policy, based on zero-tolerance, mandatory training programs,
and third-party due diligence to vet and monitor agents, bunker
suppliers, and commercial partners. Strict internal controls such as
segregation of duties and high-risk transaction monitoring further
mitigate bribery and corruption risks.
For detection, Hafnia provides a confidential whistleblowing
platform and access to the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network
(MACN) reporting line for seafarers and shore staff, alongside regular
audits, and a structured incident reporting process. Allegations
and incidents are addressed through independent investigations
with corrective actions including termination or legal escalation
as necessary. A lessons-learned approach is applied to strengthen
policies and training measures continuously. MACN also supports
independent investigations when requested.
Nature, Scope and Depth of Anti-Corruption and
Anti-Bribery Training
All employees receive annual mandatory anti-corruption training
through in-person workshops, townhall sessions, and computer-
based modules. Training covers the definition of corruption,
adherence to company policies (including annual declarations),
procedures for reporting suspicion or detection, and industry-
specific risks such as those encountered onboard or in ports.
In addition to regular training, employees in high-risk roles are
required to participate in awareness and training sessions with
MACN. The Board of Directors does not receive anti-bribery and
anti-corruption training. However, the Executive Management
Team undergoes the same level of training as other employees, with
additional sessions provided if they occupy high-risk roles.
Training durations, methodologies, and the specific departments
receiving tailored training are disclosed under disclosure G1-4 24 b.

Political Influence and Lobbying Activities
There is currently no policy governing Hafnia’s political influence
or lobbying activities, as we do not consider this a relevant area of
engagement.

Payment Practices
Payment Practices in the financial year 2024
Number of outstanding legal proceedings for late payments 0
The Accounts Payable function is subject to internal audits, with
the last audit conducted in January 2025. Payment timelines were
reviewed, and no corrective actions were identified. Assessments of
payment processes are disclosed under G1-2.
At present, Hafnia is unable to provide data on the average number
of days to pay invoices from date when contractual or statutory term
of payment starts to be calculated, as this metric is not currently
tracked by the Company. Consequently, we are also unable to report
the percentage of payments made in alignment with standard
payment terms. No outstanding legal proceedings or dispute related
to late payments were registered by Hafnia during the year 2024.
Our key suppliers predominantly operate with 30-day credit term.
For bunkers purchase, payment terms are agreed during negotiations
and are typically set at 30 days from delivery date. For brokers,
payments are promptly processed upon fulfilment of the brokers’
contractual obligations, with the standard terms being payment due
upon collection of invoice receipt from our charterers.

and Opportunities; and

Responsibilities for the Sustainability Statement
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (Management) are responsible for designing and
implementing a process to identify the information reported in the Sustainability Statement in
accordance with the ESRS and for disclosing this Process in the ESRS 2 section, subsection IRO-1:
Description of the Process to Identify and Assess Material Impacts, Risks and Opportunities of the
Sustainability Statement. This responsibility includes:
• understanding the context in which the Group's activities and business relationships take
place and developing an understanding of its affected stakeholders;

• the identification of the actual and potential impacts (both negative and positive) related to
sustainability matters, as well as risks and opportunities that affect, or could reasonably be
expected to affect, the Group's financial position, financial performance, cash flows, access to
finance or cost of capital over the short-, medium-, or long-term;

• the assessment of the materiality of the identified impacts, risks and opportunities related to
sustainability matters by selecting and applying appropriate thresholds; and

• making assumptions that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Management is further responsible for the preparation of the Sustainability Statement, in accordance
with the Norwegian Accounting Act section 2-3, including:
• compliance with the ESRS;

• preparing the disclosures in the Environmental section, subsection EU Taxonomy Reporting in
2024 of the Sustainability Statement, in compliance with the Taxonomy Regulation;

• designing, implementing and maintaining such internal control that Management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of the Sustainability Statement that is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

• the selection and application of appropriate sustainability reporting methods and making
assumptions and estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Inherent limitations in preparing the Sustainability Statement
In reporting forward-looking information in accordance with ESRS, Management is required to prepare
the forward-looking information on the basis of disclosed assumptions about events that may occur in
the future and possible future actions by the Group. Actual outcomes are likely to be different since
anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected.
Sustainability Auditor’s Responsibilities
Our responsibility is to plan and perform the assurance engagement to obtain limited assurance about
whether the Sustainability Statement is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,
and to issue a limited assurance report that includes our conclusion. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence decisions of users taken on the basis of the Sustainability Statement as a whole.
As part of a limited assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 (Revised) we exercise
professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the engagement.
Our responsibilities in respect of the Sustainability Statement, in relation to the Process, include:
• Obtaining an understanding of the Process, but not for the purpose of providing a conclusion
on the effectiveness of the Process, including the outcome of the Process;

• Considering whether the information identified addresses the applicable disclosure
requirements of the ESRS; and

• Designing and performing procedures to evaluate whether the Process is consistent with the
Company’s description of its Process set out in the ESRS 2 section, subsection IRO-1:
Description of the Process to Identify and Assess Material Impacts, Risks and Opportunities.
Our other responsibilities in respect of the Sustainability Statement include:
• Identifying where material misstatements are likely to arise, whether due to fraud or error; and

• Designing and performing procedures responsive to where material misstatements are likely
to arise in the Sustainability Statement. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Summary of the Work Performed
A limited assurance engagement involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about the
Sustainability Statement. The procedures in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing
from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of
assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that
would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.
The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on professional judgement, including the
identification of disclosures where material misstatements are likely to arise in the Sustainability
Statement, whether due to fraud or error.
In conducting our limited assurance engagement, with respect to the Process, we:
• Obtained an understanding of the Process by:

o performing inquiries to understand the sources of the information used by
management (e.g., stakeholder engagement, business plans and strategy
documents); and

o reviewing the Company’s internal documentation of its Process; and

• Evaluated whether the evidence obtained from our procedures with respect to the Process
implemented by the Company was consistent with the description of the Process set out in in
the ESRS 2 section, subsection IRO-1: Description of the Process to Identify and Assess
Material Impacts, Risks and Opportunities.
In conducting our limited assurance engagement, with respect to the Sustainability Statement, we:
• Obtained an understanding of the Group’s reporting processes relevant to the preparation of
its Sustainability Statement by:

o Obtaining an understanding of the Group's control environment, processes and
information system relevant to the preparation of the Sustainability Statement, but not
for the purpose of providing a conclusion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal
control; and

o Obtaining an understanding of the Group’s risk assessment process;

• Evaluated whether the information identified by the Process is included in the Sustainability
Statement;

• Evaluated whether the structure and the presentation of the Sustainability Statement is in
accordance with the ESRS;

• Performed inquiries of relevant personnel on selected information in the Sustainability
Statement;

to our attention that causes us to believe that the Sustainability Statement is not prepared, in all
material respects, in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act section 2-3, including:
• compliance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), including that the
process carried out by the Company to identify the information reported in the Sustainability
Statement (the «Process») is in accordance with the description set out in the section ESRS 2
subsection IRO-1: Description of the Process to Identify and Assess Material Impacts, Risks
and Opportunities; and

and regulations in Norway and the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including
International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants (IESBA Code), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity,
professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.
The firm applies International Standard on Quality Management 1, which requires the firm to design,
implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding
compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory
requirements.

• Designing and performing procedures to evaluate whether the Process is consistent with the
Company’s description of its Process set out in the ESRS 2 section, subsection IRO-1:
Description of the Process to Identify and Assess Material Impacts, Risks and Opportunities.
Our other responsibilities in respect of the Sustainability Statement include:
• Identifying where material misstatements are likely to arise, whether due to fraud or error; and

• Designing and performing procedures responsive to where material misstatements are likely
to arise in the Sustainability Statement. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Summary of the Work Performed
A limited assurance engagement involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about the
Sustainability Statement. The procedures in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing
from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of
assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that
would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.
The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on professional judgement, including the
identification of disclosures where material misstatements are likely to arise in the Sustainability
Statement, whether due to fraud or error.
In conducting our limited assurance engagement, with respect to the Process, we:
• Obtained an understanding of the Process by:

o performing inquiries to understand the sources of the information used by
management (e.g., stakeholder engagement, business plans and strategy
documents); and

o reviewing the Company’s internal documentation of its Process; and

• Evaluated whether the evidence obtained from our procedures with respect to the Process
implemented by the Company was consistent with the description of the Process set out in in
the ESRS 2 section, subsection IRO-1: Description of the Process to Identify and Assess
Material Impacts, Risks and Opportunities.
In conducting our limited assurance engagement, with respect to the Sustainability Statement, we:
• Obtained an understanding of the Group’s reporting processes relevant to the preparation of
its Sustainability Statement by:

o Obtaining an understanding of the Group's control environment, processes and
information system relevant to the preparation of the Sustainability Statement, but not
for the purpose of providing a conclusion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal
control; and

o Obtaining an understanding of the Group’s risk assessment process;

• Evaluated whether the information identified by the Process is included in the Sustainability
Statement;

• Evaluated whether the structure and the presentation of the Sustainability Statement is in
accordance with the ESRS;

• Performed inquiries of relevant personnel on selected information in the Sustainability
Statement;
