The Group, through the long term charter parties with Valero for two Suezmaxes (Cap Quebec and Cap Pembroke), entered on March 28, 2018, and April 20, 2018, in two IRSs for a combined notional value of $86.8 million. These IRSs are used to hedge the risk related to the fluctuation of the LIBOR rate and qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge relationship under IFRS9. These instruments have been measured at their fair value; effective changes in fair value have been recognized in OCI and the ineffective portion has been recognized in profit or loss. These IRSs are matching the repayment profile of the underlying $173.6 million facility. On November 9, 2023 these hedges have been unwound due to the repayment of the underlying facility and have been recognized in profit or loss. $(1.8) million has been recognized in total in OCI in 2023.

As part of the fuel hedging program, the Group entered during 2023 and 2022 into several commodity swaps and futures in connection with its low sulfur fuel oil project for a combined notional value of $72.2 million and $158.8 million, respectively. These swaps are used to hedge a potential increase in the index underlying the price of low sulfur fuel between the purchase date and the delivery date of the product, i.e. when the title to the low sulfur fuel is actually transferred. These instruments do not qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge relationship under IFRS9. The changes in fair value are directly recognized in profit or loss.

As a consequence, there is no longer an active fuel hedging program during 2024.
