Safe
Harbor
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 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.
