GOGL - Golden Ocean completes its secondary listing
on the Singapore Exchange

Hamilton, Bermuda, March 18, 2010

Press release from Golden Ocean Group Ltd.

First dual listing under the cooperation agreement between the Oslo Stock Exchange and the Singapore Exchange

Golden Ocean Group Limited ("Golden Ocean" or "the Company"), is pleased to announce that the Company has completed a secondary listing on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) today.

The company was listed this morning and is the first group to take advantage of the new scheme to promote dual listings of companies on the SGX and OSE. Both exchanges signed a Memorandum of Understanding last July to make it attractive for companies to dual list on each other's bourses.

The cooperation between the two exchanges accelerates the listing process and reduces the regulatory burden of being listed on two exchanges without compromising investor protection and good corporate governance.

The listing took place by way of introduction with no new capital raised at this point, but the company views the Asian investor market as important going forward.

Mr Herman Billung, CEO of Golden Ocean, said: "We are very pleased to be the first company to achieve a dual listing in Oslo and Singapore. We already have a significant operational presence in Singapore and the main driver for our drybulk business is the fast growing emerging economies in Asia. We look forward to working with the Asian investor community and are committed to making our SGX listing a success".

Lawrence Wong, Head of Listings at SGX, added: "Golden Ocean is the first listing under our cooperation framework with the Oslo Bors. We look forward to more of similar listings on the two exchanges. By taking advantage of the dual listing framework, companies will benefit by having the access to a wider and deeper capital market. Investors of both exchanges too will benefit from more investment choices."

The Introductory Document released in connection to the listing at SGX is attached to this press release and is available at the website of Golden Ocean with address www.goldenocean.no
