Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking
statements. The
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act") provides
safe harbor
protections for forward- looking statements within the meaning of the Reform
Act. 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. Euronav desires to take advantage of
the safe
harbor provisions of the Reform Act 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,
Euronav management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained
in
company records and other data available from third parties. Euronav management
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 the companies' control, there can be no
assurance
that Euronav will 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.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on Euronav's forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are and will be based upon Euronav
management's then-current views and assumptions regarding future events and
operating performance, and are
applicable only as of the dates of such statements. Euronav assumes no duty to
update or
revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or
otherwise, as of any future date.
