Safe HarborForward Looking Statements	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 other statements, which
are 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
assure you 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 world economies 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 governmental rules and regulations 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 obligation to update
and change the listed expectations to the extent required by law.
