Nordic American Tankers Ltd (NYSE: NAT) – Our ships are out of the Arabian Gulf

Dear Shareholders and Investors,

We have had 3 ships stuck in the Arabian Gulf. The problems started February 28 this year. These vessels have now gone through the Hormuz Strait and are again involved in international business. Our crews are safe. We enjoy excellent market conditions for our ships. I am very pleased to send you this report.
