Ridgebury Tankers LLC

Ridgebury Tankers LLC, a new tanker company focused on the acquisition and operation of vessels in the tanker sector, announced a $200 million commitment from Riverstone Holdings LLC ("Riverstone"), the energy private investment firm, alongside a $5.7 million commitment from Ridgebury management. The Connecticut-based Company will use the capital to acquire clean product carriers of all sizes and in the crude sector will focus primarily on Suezmax vessels.

"Our strategy is to invest in modern tonnage either currently on the water or on resales of vessels that will enter service shortly," said Mr. Burke. "We believe that the next 12-24 months will present an attractive entry point for investment in the sector. Although distressed opportunities may present themselves, our primary focus will be the pursuit of quality modern tonnage. We are not in a rush to invest, and we want to focus our efforts on opportunities with a high certainty of closing. With Riverstone's equity commitment and sensible financial leverage, we believe we have a great opportunity to build a highly successful company in the tanker sector."
