 * Comments: I think this company is defunct. Their domain is for sale. I found information about them at company-histories.com/General-Maritime-Corporation-Company-History.html. I'm not sure that's a reliable source but they mention some article sources at the end of the page.
 * If they once operated 43 big Suezmax and Aframax tankers, they were certainly notable. Tonnage-wise, that's about the size of the entire French-flagged merchant fleet and bigger than Russia's. I don't know if we can find sources to prove this, though. No proof, no article (because that means we don't have enough to build a reliable article).
 * We can potentially use selected EDGAR data as a reliable source for article-building but only if we prove notability first.

 * At the time of the bankruptcy filing the company's assets exceeded a billion dollars, and the article has (uncited) statements on the size of its fleet. At one time the entity surely was notable. Kablammo (talk) 20:18, 11 July 2023 (UTC) And the New York Times also has published a number of articles on the company. Kablammo (talk) 16:38, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Euronav. No in-depth article about this one to meet our guideline but refs to support some text in Euronav, which is notable. -- A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 20:07, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge (selectively) into Euronav per above. By default includes redirect. Thanks for the research, A. B.! gidonb (talk) 19:15, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge: to Euronav if by default there is already a redirect. WonderCanada (talk) 18:35, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
