Golden Ocean Group Limited (NASDAQ:GOGL), the shipping company, witnessed a significant after-hours surge of 6.06% on Tuesday, March 4th.
The rally came after CMB Tech NV announced that it has entered into an agreement with Hemen Holding Limited to acquire 81,363,730 shares in Golden Ocean Group, representing a substantial stake in the company.
The acquisition by CMB Tech, a technology company, suggests a potential strategic interest or investment in Golden Ocean's business operations.
