The Board of Tufton Oceanic Assets Limited (ticker: SHIP.L) is
pleased to announce that the Company has agreed to divest one
Suezmax Tanker for $19.0m. The divestment will reduce the Company's

expects to redeploy the proceeds over the next few months. Whilst
the Company aims to hold its investments over the longer term, we
will sell investments where this generates additional value for
shareholders.

continues to identify an attractive pipeline of opportunities
across a range of the Company's target sectors.
