The Hafnia Nile (IMO: 9766217), an LR1 tanker owned and operated by Hafnia Limited (“Hafnia” or the “Company”, OSE ticker code “HAFNI”, NYSE ticker code “HAFN”), was earlier today involved in a collision with a VLCC (very large crude carrier) in the South China Sea. The collision caused a fire onboard. Our team is actively coordinating with the Singapore Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC). An appointed salvor has been mobilized to support the ongoing response efforts.

All crew members onboard the Hafnia Nile have been safely rescued. Two seafarers have suffered minor injuries, while the remaining crew members are understood to be in good condition. The crew's family has been informed and is regularly updated on the situation. There is no information on pollution.

The Company's primary focus at this time is the well-being of our crew members, as well as addressing any potential environmental impact resulting from this incident.

A full investigation will be conducted to determine the root cause of the incident.
