We base our maintenance plans on a life-span of 25 years for a tanker.</font></div>

In March the spot suezmax tanker rates have increased to about $30,000 per day. As a matter of policy we do not attempt to predict future spot tanker rates. The IMAREX gives an indication of the level of the spot market while the actual rates achieved may differ from IMAREX.</font></div>
