Disclosure of the sale of the bulk vessel TORM Marlene - Decision by the Danish
Securities Council 

On 25 April 2008, A/S Dampskibsselskabet TORM announced the sale of the bulk
vessel TORM Marlene. Since then, TORM has corresponded with the Danish
Financial Supervisory Authority about whether TORM has made a timely disclose
pursuant to Section 27 of the Danish Securities Trading Act. 

In TORM's opinion, the Company has not violated its disclosure obligations, and
TORM has followed its long-standing disclosure practice when disclosing
information on the sale of TORM Marlene and which is also followed by leading
Danish and international companies within the shipping industry. 

The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority has referred the matter to the
Danish Securities Council. TORM has been informed by the Danish Financial
Supervisory Authority that the Securities Council has decided to refer the
matter of whether TORM has violated Section 27(1) of the Danish Securities
Trading Act to the public prosecutor for further investigation. 

TORM has already given an account of its view on this particular matter to the
Danish Financial Supervisory. TORM is surprised to learn that the matter has
been referred to the public prosecutor, but intends to cooperate in any
investigation. 

TORM does not intend to make any additional comments to the press while the
matter is pending.

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.
