NORDEN sells vessel and increases profit guidance

The Group has agreed to sell the Handymax bulkcarrier NORD MARINER. The price amounts to USD 52.7 million. The vessel has been sold including a charter party of USD 20,250 per day, which will expire in the third quarter of 2008.

NORD MARINER, which is 53,500 dwt, was built in 2006, and it is expected that the vessel will be delivered to the new owner in the third quarter of 2007.

The sale above will strengthen the Group's earnings (EBIT) in 2007 by USD 20.3 million. NORDEN's adjusted expectations for 2007 will hereafter be an EBIT for the Group of USD 450 - 480 million, including profit of USD 141 million from the sale of vessels.

This is an increase in the profit guidance relative to the announced expectations in the interim report for the first quarter, in which the Company expected an EBIT for the Group of USD 430 - 460 million, including profit of USD 120 million from the sale of vessels.

Buying and selling vessels is an integral part of NORDEN's business model according to which sale of vessels is used to stabilise earnings and cash flows.
