                              Litigation - Update


The Board has reviewed with its advisers the litigation concerning previously
announced claims totalling $67m from Sovcomflot and Novoship, the Russian
state-owned shipping companies. As a result of the discovery of new evidence and
ongoing discussions with the Claimants the Board has decided, without any
admission of liability, to make a further provision against the claims of #8m.


The Board's view of the further potential claim by Sovcomflot regarding routine
year end valuations remains unchanged from the views expressed in the 2007
annual report. Accordingly no provision has been made against this potential
claim.
