Safe Harbor statements as to the future                                         
Matters discussed in this release may constitute forward-looking statements.    
 Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future    
 events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans,  
 objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying    
 assumptions and statements other than statements of historical facts. The      
 forward-looking statements in this release are based upon various assumptions, 
 many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without  
 limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data      
 contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although 
 TORM believes 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, TORM cannot guarantee that it will achieve or accomplish these        
 expectations, beliefs or projections.                                          
Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ       
 materially from those discussed in the forward- looking statements include the 
 strength of the world economy and currencies, changes in charter hire rates and
 vessel values, changes in demand for 'tonne miles' of oil carried by oil       
 tankers, the effect of changes in OPEC's petroleum production levels and       
 worldwide oil consumption and storage, changes in demand that may affect       
 attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled dry-docking, changes 
 in TORM's operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and         
 insurance costs, changes in the regulation of shipping operations, including   
 requirements for double hull tankers or actions taken by regulatory            
 authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, domestic   
 and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes
 due to accidents and political events or acts by terrorists.                   
Risks and uncertainties are further described in reports filed by TORM with the 
 US Securities and Exchange Commission, including the TORM Annual Report on Form
 20-F and its reports on Form 6-K.                                              
Forward-looking statements are based on management's current evaluation, and    
 TORM is only under an obligation to update and change the listed expectations  
 to the extent required by law.
