Concordia Maritime's product tanker Stena President will be delivered from
Brodosplit Shipyard in Croatia today. The tanker will enter a 10-year charter
with the Russian company Argo Shipping and transport refined products from the
Baltic Sea and the White Sea to Europe and the US. The Stena President, a
so-called P-MAX tanker, is the fifth in a series of ten units ordered. The Stena
President was named last Friday at Brodosplit Shipyard outside Split.

The first P-MAX tanker was delivered in December, 2005, and delivery of the
tenth unit is planned for 2010. The Stena President's sister, the Stena
Primorsk, delivered in 2006, was also signed to a 10-year charter with Argo
Shipping. The Stena Performance has been chartered by US company Hess for
traffic between the Caribbean and the US East Coast and French TOTAL has
chartered four P-MAX tankers (two of which have been delivered). Employment has
yet to be found for three of the tankers to be delivered in 2009-2010.
