SAFE
HARBOUR STATEMENT – FORWARD 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 crude 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.
