Tufton Oceanic Assets Limited (the "Company")

Key global initiative for shipping's decarbonization

The Board of Tufton Oceanic Assets Limited (ticker: SHIP.L) is pleased to announce that the Company's Investment Manager - Tufton Oceanic Limited has joined the Getting to Zero Coalition, a partnership between the Global Maritime Forum, the Friends of Ocean Action, and the World Economic Forum.

The ambition of the Getting to Zero Coalition is closely aligned with the UN International Maritime Organization's Initial greenhouse gas strategy. The strategy prescribes that international shipping must reduce its total annual greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% of 2008 levels by 2050, whilst pursuing efforts towards phasing them out as soon as possible in this century. This will ultimately align greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping with the Paris Agreement.

Tufton Oceanic Limited, the Investment Manager, recognizes the importance of integrating ESG factors into the organization and investment process and continues to strive towards this goal.
