Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This press release may contain forward looking statements. These statements
are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon
further assumptions, including Ship Finance management's examination of
historical operating trends. Although Ship Finance believes that these
assumptions were reasonable when made, because assumptions are inherently
subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult
or impossible to predict and are beyond its control, Ship Finance cannot
give assurance that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations,
beliefs or intentions.
Important factors that, in the Company's view, could cause actual results
to differ materially from those discussed in this presentation include the
strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions
including fluctuations in charter hire rates and vessel values, changes in
demand in the tanker market as a result of changes in OPEC's petroleum
production levels and worldwide oil consumption and storage, changes in the
Company's operating expenses including bunker prices, dry-docking and
insurance costs, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions
taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future
litigation, general domestic and international political conditions,
potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political
events, and other important factors described from time to time in the
reports filed by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission.
