FRO - Sale of six medium range tankers

FRO - Sale of six medium range tankers

Frontline Ltd. (the "Company" or "Frontline") (NYSE:FRO - OSE:FRO) today

announced that it has entered into an agreement whereby the Company will sell

its six medium range tankers for an aggregate sale price of $172.5 million to an

unaffiliated third party. The vessels will be delivered by Frontline during

September and October 2016.

Robert Hvide Macleod, Chief Executive Officer of Frontline Management AS

commented:

"We are pleased to have completed this transaction, which leaves Frontline with

a focused crude oil tanker fleet comprised of VLCCs, Suezmax tankers and LR2

tankers. Our primary exposure and growth focus is towards the crude tanker

market, and our LR2 tankers can be deployed in both the crude oil and refined

product trades, leaving us with attractive optionality."

Following this transaction, Frontline's fleet, including newbuildings, consists

of 79 vessels with an aggregate capacity of approximately 15.3 million dwt.  The

Company's fleet, including newbuildings, is comprised

of 30 VLCCs, 22 Suezmax tankers, 24 LR2/Aframax product tankers and three MR

tankers chartered in on short term contracts.
