FRO - Termination of charter-in contract of Front Vanguard

FRO - Termination of charter-in contract of Front Vanguard

Frontline Ltd. ("Frontline" or the "Company") has agreed with Ship Finance

International Limited ("Ship Finance") to terminate the long term charter for

the 1998 built VLCC Front Vanguard. Ship Finance has simultaneously sold the

vessel to an unrelated third party. We expect the vessel to cease operating as a

conventional tanker and the charter with Ship Finance is expected to terminate

in the second quarter of 2016.

Frontline has agreed a compensation payment to Ship Finance of approximately

$0.4 million for the termination of the current charter.

Following this termination, the number of vessels on charter from Ship Finance

will be reduced to 13 vessels, including 11 VLCCs and two Suezmax tankers.
