Windsor Petroleum Transport Corporation Announces Termination of Memorandum of Agreement

NASSAU, Bahamas, Aug. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Windsor Petroleum Transport Corporation ("Windsor") announced today that the Memorandum of Agreement ("MOA") that a Windsor entity entered into on May 30, 2011 for the sale of its vessel, the m/v Pioneer, was terminated by the buyer because a condition to which the sale was subject did not occur.  Pursuant to the MOA, the sale was contingent on, among other things, the buyer being awarded a specified contract by a third party.  The Buyer notified Windsor that it was not awarded that contract and has therefore elected to terminate the MOA.  

Pursuant to the existing Management Agreement for the vessel and the indenture governing the notes for which the vessel serves as collateral, the manager will continue to seek bids for the vessel and intends to arrange for the vessel to continue to operate on time charters or in the spot market.  There can be no assurance that any earnings generated by the vessel will be sufficient to cover operating expenses or debt service costs.
