Heidi Taksdal Skjeseth报道：Volare Shipping Ltd.周一在奥斯陆首日交易大涨，这家Trafigura Group Pte.分拆出来的子公司成为近期在挪威首都上市的最新一批油轮公司之一。
Volare Shipping Ltd. jumped on its first day of trading in Oslo on Monday after the spin-off arm of Trafigura Group Pte. became the latest in a spree of tanker listings in the Norwegian capital.
当地时间下午1:42，股价上涨6.9%，此前通过私募股份融资约5亿美元，公司估值达12亿美元。
The shares were trading 6.9% up at 1:42 p.m. local time after raising about $500 million in a private share placement, valuing the firm at $1.2 billion.
Volare紧随Capital Tankers Corp.（3月在奥斯陆上市）和OMC Tankers Ltd.（8月在Euronext Growth上市）之后。根据Euronext数据，得益于积极吸引航运公司的策略，奥斯陆已成为欧洲上市航运公司数量最多的股票市场。
Volare follows Capital Tankers Corp., which listed in Oslo in March, and OMC Tankers Ltd., which joined Euronext Growth in August. According to Euronext, Oslo is now Europe’s largest stock market for shipping companies by number of listings, due to an active strategy to attract more shipping companies.
首席执行官Alexandre Duff在奥斯陆接受采访时表示，奥斯陆汇聚了航运投资者、银行、律师及行业专业知识，使其成为“这一特定交易的唯一选择”。他补充说，希望公司未来转至奥斯陆主板上市，并视增长、可用资本及投资者需求情况，考虑在纽约双重上市。
Chief Executive Officer Alexandre Duff said Oslo’s concentration of shipping investors, banks, lawyers and industry expertise made the city “the only option for this particular transaction,” speaking in an interview in the Norwegian capital. Duff added he wants the company to move to Oslo’s main market and said a dual listing in New York could be considered later, depending on growth, available capital and investor demand.
此次上市还让Volare得以利用异常强劲的油轮市场：霍尔木兹海峡周边的动荡推高了运费和船舶价值。Duff透露，Volare目前有6艘超大型原油运输船（VLCC）在运营，另有8艘新建油轮正在中国船厂建造。
The listing also allows Volare to tap an exceptionally strong tanker market as disruption around the Strait of Hormuz has pushed up freight rates and vessel values. Volare has six very large crude carriers on the water and eight new tankers under construction in China, Duff said.
募集资金将用于船舶投资，并为公司未来收购或订造更多船舶提供平台。他表示，交易完成后Trafigura将保留约54%股份。
The proceeds will fund the vessel investments and gives the company a platform to acquire or order more ships in the future, he said, adding Trafigura will retain a roughly 54% stake following the transaction.
