This excerpt taken from the SB 6-K filed Jun 8, 2009.

We depend upon a limited number of customers for a large part of our revenues and the loss of one or more of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We expect to derive a significant part of our revenues from a limited number of customers. During 2008, approximately 72.4% of our revenues were derived from three charterers.

We could lose a customer for many different reasons, including if:

 

 

 

 

the customer fails to make charter payments because of its financial inability, disagreements with us or otherwise;

 

 

 

 

the customer terminates its charters because of our non-performance, including where there are serious deficiencies with the vessels we provide to that customer or prolonged periods of off-hire; or

 

 

 

 

in certain cases, a prolonged force majeure event affecting the customer, including damage to or destruction of relevant production facilities, war or political unrest prevents us from performing services for that customer.

If we lose a key customer, we may be unable to obtain period time charters on comparable terms with charterers of comparable standing or may have increased exposure to the volatile spot market, which is highly competitive and subject to significant price fluctuations. The loss of any of our key customers, a decline in payments under our charters, or the failure of a key customer to perform under its charters with us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
