Viking Supply Ships Financial Report January-September 2012

In connection with the distribution of the TransAtlantic interim report January
-September 2012, a separate financial report is published on Viking Supply
Ships, one of TransAtlantic’s business areas and also a fully owned daughter
company. Viking Supply Ships has issued a 5 year senior unsecured bond loan in
the Norwegian capital market totaling 300 MNOK. The bond is listed on Oslo ABM.

TransAtlantic is organized in two business areas; Industrial Shipping with main
operations in the Baltic Sea and Northern Europe through bulk-, container- and
RoRo vessels, and Viking Supply Ships operating within ice breaking and offshore
mostly in Arctic and subarctic areas. Industrial Shipping has its headquarters
in Gothenburg, Sweden and Viking Supply Ships has its headquarters in
Copenhagen, Denmark.

Major events within Viking Supply Ships during the period

  · Total revenue for Q3 2012 amounted to 279 MNOK, with an EBITDA of 109 MNOK.
Total revenue for Q3 year to date 2012 amounted to 690 MNOK, with an EBITDA of
161 MNOK.

  · As expected the Q3 results have improved compared to the Q2 results. The
results are still disappointing, reflecting a soft spot market for the AHTS
fleet and a lack of fresh term activity and seasonal projects.

  · Viking Supply Ships has a clear focus on increasing the number of vessels on
term contracts in order to improve earnings stability. As a result of this 3
AHTS vessels were on term contracts in Q3 compared to 1 AHTS vessel at the
beginning of 2012.

  · The average utilization for the AHTS fleet in Q3 was 72 % and 79 % for the
PSV fleet.

  · 6.8 MNOK has been included in Q3 revenue in relations to salvage of the
vessel Golden Seas following the ruling from Arbitration in London.
