Frontline Ltd. (the "Company" or "Frontline") (NYSE:FRO) today announced that it has entered into memorandum of
agreement ("MOA") to acquire a 20% ownership interest in Feen Marine Scrubbers Inc., a leading manufacturer of exhaust gas cleaning
systems ("FMSI"). Pursuant to the MOA, Frontline and certain entities affiliated with Hemen Holding Ltd, Frontline's largest
shareholder, have agreed to order FMSI exhaust gas cleaning systems for 14 vessels, with options to order an additional 22 systems
at fixed prices.
Robert Hvide Macleod, CEO of Frontline Management said: "The economic case to install scrubbers is very compelling, particularly
for larger vessels. Scrubbers installed on existing vessels provide the same benefit as those delivered from the yard on
newbuildings and our solution comes at a much cheaper cost. Additionally, this transaction allows Frontline to secure the
capacity to source a large volume of scrubbers, which we believe will present a challenge to many owners as the deadline for
sulphur emissions compliance approaches. Our relationship with Feen Marine has been structured in a manner that will be
beneficial to both parties and would not have been possible absent our significant commercial scale and long-standing industry
relationships."
Bjørnar Feen, Founder of Feen Marine Scrubbers Inc. (www.FeenMarineEGCS.com), said: "We are extremely pleased to establish a
partnership with Frontline, one of the world's most prominent shipping companies. We believe that this memorandum of
agreement is indicative of both Frontline's industry-leading approach to managing its fleet as well as the high quality EGCS
systems Feen Marine produces. We are proud that some of the world's largest shipping and trading companies, including
Frontline, Navig8 Group and Trafigura have chosen Feen Marine as their main provider of EGCS systems."
