The Golden Ocean and CMB.TECH merger is now reaching its final stages with explicit completion dates announced. After the May 28th announcement of the merger plan, the companies have confirmed the merger will be finalized on August 20, 2025, contingent on approval at Golden Ocean's Special General Meeting on August 19th.
