    Forward-Looking Statement

    Matters discussed in this release may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect the current views of
Global Oceanic Carriers Limited ("the Company") 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 the Company 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, the Company 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, general market conditions, including changes in charter hire rates and
vessel values, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled dry-docking, changes in the
Company's operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, 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. The Company does not assume, and expressly disclaims, any obligation to
update these forward-looking statements.
