"Safe
Harbor" Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995
This
press release includes assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and
beliefs about future events. These statements are intended as "forward-looking
statements." We caution that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions
and beliefs about future events may and often do vary from actual results and
the differences can be material. All statements in this document that are not
statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, such matters as future operating or
financial results; statements about planned, pending or recent acquisitions,
business strategy, future dividend payments and expected capital spending or
operating expenses, including drydocking and insurance costs; statements about
trends in the container vessel and products tanker shipping markets, including
charter rates and factors affecting supply and demand; our ability to obtain
additional financing; expectations regarding the availability of vessel
acquisitions; and anticipated developments with
respect to pending
litigation. The forward-looking statements in this press 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 Aries Maritime Transport Limited 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, Aries Maritime Transport
Limited cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations,
beliefs or projections described in the forward looking statements contained in
this press release. 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 rates and vessel values, failure
of a seller to deliver one or more vessels, failure of a buyer to accept
delivery of a vessel, inability to procure acquisition financing, default by one
or more charterers of our ships, changes in demand for oil and oil products, the
effect of changes in OPEC's petroleum production levels, worldwide oil
consumption and storage, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time
charterers, scheduled and unscheduled drydocking, changes in Aries Maritime
Transport Limited's voyage and operating expenses, including bunker prices,
dry-docking and insurance costs, changes in governmental rules and regulations
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, international hostilities and
political events or acts by terrorists and other factors discussed in Aries
Maritime Transport Limited's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission from time to time. When used in this document, the words
"anticipate," "estimate," "project," "forecast," "plan," "potential," "may,"
"should," and "expect" reflect forward-looking statements.
