GC Rieber Shipping ASA is pleased to announce a two-year extension for the
icebreaker Polar Pevek. The extension follows from end of the firm period in
September 2021, making the vessel firm until September 2023. Polar Pevek is a
customised heavy icebreaker and commenced her original charter in 2006 on what
originally was a 15-year charter. The vessel is operating off Sakhalin Island,
in far east Russia.

The vessel is co-owned 50/50 with Maas Capital and operated by GC Rieber
Shipping's Russian co-owned shipmanager OOO Polarus.

"We are proud to secure multiple years of extension so far in advance completion
of the contract. It's an acknowledgement of the vessel's unique characteristics
and our operational performance. We look forward to continuing our good and
close cooperation with our client together with our partners", Christoffer
Knudsen, CCO, commented.

"We recently announced a shift in the company's strategy with an increased focus
on project developments of sustainable maritime projects. The extension is a
recognition of that one of our core legacy projects creates value to our client
more than 17 years after its beginning. It's a true testament to our significant
development potential", Einar Ytredal, CEO, commented.
