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.
