Hamilton, Bermuda, March 3, 2017
As communicated to the investor market earlier this week, NAO has closed the
follow-on offering of 40,000,000 common shares at a public offering price of
$1.25 per share resulting in aggregate net proceeds of approximately $47.7
million. The proceeds could be slightly in excess of $50 million, provided the

Following the offering, the Company has 60,686,847 common shares outstanding as
against 20,686,847 shares before the offering.
Commented the NAO Executive Chairman, Herbjorn Hansson:
"Going forward, this successful offering has as an objective to continue the
growth process of NAO of top modern PSVs, servicing the oil industry, above all
in the UK and Norwegian sector of the North Sea. As NAO increases its fleet, we
may expand into other geographical areas internationally - the potential is
substantial.
The undersigned and Nordic American Tankers (NAT), plus senior executives of the
Nordic American group have subscribed shares in this offering. Our objective is
that NAO shall become the same success as the NYSE listed Nordic American
Tankers, servicing customers and shareholders. My belief in NAO is evidenced by
the fact that my family and I have invested $2 million in the offering.
Furthermore, NAT, our largest shareholder invested $10 million. We are very
pleased with this offering transaction."

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking
statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe
harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage
companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-
looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals,
strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other
statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.
The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this
cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words
"believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan,"
"potential," "will," "may," "should," "expect," "pending" and similar
expressions identify forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various
assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions,
including without limitation, our management's examination of historical
operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from
third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when
made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant
uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and
are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish
these expectations, beliefs or projections. We undertake no obligation to
update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ
materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the
strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including
fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand in the PSV
market, as a result of changes in the general market conditions of the oil and
natural gas industry which influence charter hire rates and vessel values,
demand in platform supply vessels, our operating expenses, including bunker
prices, dry docking and insurance costs, governmental rules and regulations or
actions taken by regulatory authorities as well as potential liability from
pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political
conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or
political events, the availability of financing and refinancing, vessel
breakdowns and instances of off-hire and other important factors described from
time to time in the reports filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
