Lysaker, Norway – 8 December 2022 – AMSC ASA (AMSC) today announced that
Overseas Shipholding Group (OSG) has declared its options to extend the bareboat
charter agreements for six vessels currently under charter from AMSC to OSG by
three years moving the new bareboat expiry dates to December 2026. This
increases AMSC’s bareboat charter backlog with a total of 18 vessel years and
more than USD 163 million.

An overview of AMSC’s bareboat contract coverage is attached.

AMSC CEO Pål Lothe Magnussen commented, “The extension of six Jones Act product
tankers by OSG increases AMSC’s charter backlog considerably and provides clear
visibility to our cash flows for the next several years. The extensions are also
a reflection of the strong Jones Act tanker market in which presently all
tankers are on time charter contracts. The lack of newbuild orders due to cost
inflation and yard capacity constraints makes it highly unlikely for any new
tankers to enter the market anytime soon which bodes well for a continued
healthy Jones Act tanker market.”
