SAFE HARBOUR STATEMENT - FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release contains forward-looking statements concerning future events and
the Company's operations, performance and financial conditions, including, in
particular, statements regarding: Spot and TCE rates in the near and long term,
operating days, tanker and bunker supply and demand, supply and demand for oil
and refined products, expectations about the Company's future capital
requirements and capital expenditures, the Company's growth strategy and how it
is implemented, the number of partner and the number of vessels the partners
have in the pools, environmental changes in regulation, cost savings and other
benefits. Words such as "expects", "intends", "plans", "believes",
"anticipates", "estimates", "outlook" and variations of such words and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These statements involve known and unknown risks and are based on a number of
assumptions and estimates, which are inherently subject to significant
uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the
Company. In addition to the factors and matters discussed elsewhere in this
report, important factors that, in TORM's view, could cause actual results to
differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements include
the strengths of world economies, currencies and interest rate levels, general
market conditions, including fluctuations in charter hire rates and vessel
values, changes in demand in the shipping market, including the effect of
changes in OPEC's petroleum production levels and worldwide oil consumption and
storage, changes in the Company's operating expenses, including bunker prices,
dry-docking and insurance costs, changes in governmental rules and regulations
or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending
future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions,
potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events,
and other important factors described from time to time in the reports filed by
TORM with the Copenhagen Stock exchange and the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
