Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
         -----------------------

     On January 5, 2000, Star, on behalf of the Reporting Persons, contacted the
Company to request the Company's agreement to certain interim arrangements to
facilitate Star's active participation in the direction and management of the
Company following completion of the Mandatory Offer. The interim arrangements
proposed were: first, that following the commencement of the Mandatory Offer the
Company would invite two representatives of Star to participate as observers at
any meetings of the Company's Board of Directors (other than discussions by the
Board of the Mandatory Offer); second, that the Company would permit two
representatives of Star to be present at the Company's Miami, Florida offices
for the purpose of familiarizing Star with the Company's senior personnel and
operations; and finally, that the Company's Board of Directors act promptly to
convene an extraordinary meeting of the Company's shareholders to coincide with
the scheduled completion of the Mandatory Offer in February, 2000 for the
purpose of electing a new Board of Directors. Additionally, a formal request to
convene such a shareholders' meeting, in accordance with applicable Norwegian
law, was delivered to the Company by Arrasas on January 5, 2000.
