Stock Exchange Release no. 58 Made public via OMX on 11 May 2009 Nordic Tankers receives new handy-size tanker Today, Nordic Tanker had the handy-size product tanker NORDIC AGNETHA delivered from the Hyundai-Mipo shipyard in South Korea. Nordic Tankers co-owns the vessel with its Italy-based business partner Zacchello Group via the jointly owned shipping company Nordic Seaarland Tankers. NORDIC AGNETHA is a 37,400 dwt product tanker built in accordance with the so-called IMO2 requirements, which means that in addition to oil products, it can carry light chemicals. Like the other three handy-size tankers of the Nordic Tankers fleet, the vessel will be included in Maersk Tankers' Hankytankers pool, the largest pool in the world for this type of vessels. In July, Nordic Tankers will have a sister vessel to NORDIC AGNETHA delivered. The new vessel has been named AMY and is co-owned with the Zacchello Group via Nordic Seaarland Tankers. Including these newbuildings, the Nordic Tankers fleet will total ten modern vessels with an average age of just 2.6 years. The young and modern fleet is a significant competitive parameter because of increasing safety and environmental requirements. ”Even though the market for product tankers is slowed by the global recession, the young fleet is an asset for Nordic Tankers as customers and partners make ever higher demands on modern and environmentally sound vessels,” says Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Nordic Tankers Klaus Kjærulff. The delivery of NORDIC AGNETHA will not affect the outlook for the year, which remains unchanged since the interim announcement of the financial statements of 26 March 2009 (Stock Exchange Release no. 52).
