Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking
statements. The
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor
protections for
forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide
prospective
information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements
concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance,
and
underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of
historical facts. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor
provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this
cautionary
statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words "believe",
"anticipate",
"intends", "estimate", "forecast", "project", "plan", "potential", "may",
"should", "expect",
"pending" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various
assumptions,
many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without
limitation,
our management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in
our
records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that
these
assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently
subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or
impossible to
predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or

accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our
view, could
cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the
forward-looking
statements include the failure of counterparties to fully perform their
contracts with us,
the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions,
including
fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand for tanker
vessel
capacity, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices,
dry-docking and
insurance costs, the market for our vessels, availability of financing and
refinancing,
charter counterparty performance, ability to obtain financing and comply with
covenants
in such financing arrangements, changes in governmental rules and regulations or
actions
taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future
litigation, general
domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of
shipping routes due
to accidents or political events, vessels breakdowns and instances of off-hires
and other
factors. Please see our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission
for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.
