uncertainties. The following factors, and others which are
discussed
in the Company’s public filings and submissions with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, are among those that may cause
actual and future results and trends to differ materially from the
Company’s forward-looking statements: the general economic
conditions
and competition in the markets and businesses in which the Company
operates; changes in the supply of and demand for parcel tanker,
tank
container and terminal capacity in the markets in which the
Company
operates; changes in the supply of and demand for the products we

specialty liquids that form the majority of the products that we

or
purchasing new ships; uncertainties inherent in operating
internationally; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; the
outcome
of legal proceedings; the Company’s relationship with significant
customers; the outcome of discussions with customers concerning
potential antitrust claims; the impact of negative publicity;
environmental challenges and natural conditions facing the
Company’s
aquaculture business; the impact of laws and regulations;
operating
hazards, including marine disasters, spills or environmental
damage;
the conditions and factors that may influence the decision to
issue
future dividends; and the market for long-term debt. Many of these
factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict.
Given
these factors, you should not place undue reliance on the
forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties occur, or should management’s assumptions or
estimates
prove incorrect, actual results and events may vary materially
from
those discussed in the forward-looking statements.
