What Scorpio Tankers does

Scorpio Tankers Inc. is a Monaco-headquartered, Marshall Islands-incorporated product tanker owner publicly listed on the NYSE under ticker STNG. Founded in 2003 by Emanuele A. Lauro and IPO'd in April 2010, the company operates a fleet of approximately 90–93 product tankers — 37 LR2, 42 MR, and 14 Handymax vessels — totaling roughly 7.4 million deadweight tons including newbuild commitments for two VLCCs, four LR2s, and four MRs through 2029. The fleet is notably young (10.1-year average age versus industry averages of 10.7–18.2 years) and 87% scrubber-fitted, enabling use of low-cost high-sulfur fuel under IMO 2020 regulations. Vessels are equipped with ballast water treatment systems and, on a pilot basis, Carbon Ridge's centrifugal onboard carbon capture system (DNV-verified 98% CO2 capture). The company deployed the first maritime centrifugal OCCS aboard the STI Spiga in 2025.

Broad incumbents

• BW LPG Limited: Largest LPG carrier globally, part of BW Group. Adjacent tanker shipping operator with similar pool-based commercial structure and customer base, providing a relevant benchmark for tanker shipping economics and shareholder returns.
• Teekay Corporation: Larger diversified marine operator with shuttle tankers, FPSO, and conventional tanker exposure. Broader portfolio but overlapping tanker shipping expertise and customer relationships make it a relevant comparable for Scorpio's product tanker operations.

Direct peers

• Ardmore Shipping Corporation: Product and chemical tanker operator with MR and LR1 vessels. Smaller-scale direct competitor with similar focus on refined product transportation for oil majors and traders in Atlantic and Pacific basins.
• DHT Holdings Inc. Pure-play VLCC operator with crude oil tanker focus. While primarily crude rather than product, DHT competes for capital and investor mindshare in the tanker space and serves overlapping oil major customers.
• Hafnia Limited: One of the largest product tanker operators globally with LR2 and MR fleet. Part of the BW Group, Hafnia competes directly with Scorpio in product tanker pools and spot markets across the same global trading regions.
• International Seaways Inc. NYSE-listed tanker operator with VLCC, Suezmax, LR2, and MR product/crude tankers. Directly competes with Scorpio in product tanker pool systems and spot markets with overlapping trading routes and similar end customers.
• Torm plc: Pure-play product tanker operator with LR2 and MR vessels, operating in similar pool structures (Torm is also a Scorpio pool participant historically). Directly comparable fleet composition and customer base.
• Euronav NV: Major crude and product tanker operator with VLCC and Suezmax focus. Closely comparable business model with similar time charter, spot, and pool deployment strategies serving oil majors and refiners globally.
• Frontline plc: Largest publicly traded product and crude tanker operator globally with a fleet of VLCCs, Suezmax, LR2, and MR vessels. Directly comparable to Scorpio Tankers in fleet composition, business model (pool and spot operations), and customer base of oil majors and refiners.

Others

• Star Bulk Carries Corp. Largest dry bulk carrier globally. Not directly competing in tankers, but relevant as a comparator shipping company listed in similar markets, sharing investor base and subject to similar shipping cycle dynamics and environmental regulations.
