Ocean Yield ASA ("Ocean Yield" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the
Company has agreed to acquire an ethylene gas carrier for a total consideration
of USD 69.75 million net of a seller's credit, with 13-year bareboat charter to
a company 100% owned and guaranteed by Navigator Holdings Ltd. ("Navigator
Gas").

The vessel is expected to be delivered to the Company during October 2019.
Navigator Gas has certain options to acquire the vessel during the charter
period. The transaction is subject to final documentation.

The vessel, Navigator Aurora, is a 37,300 cbm ethylene gas carrier that was
built in 2016. This state-of-the-art vessel is operating on a sub-charter to the
European chemical group Borealis for the transportation of ethane from the U.S.
East Coast to Europe until December 2026. The propulsion and electrical systems
are designed to use LNG as fuel in addition to conventional fuel. Further, the
vessel is currently going through a project to also use ethane as fuel.

Navigator Gas is listed on the New York Stock Exchange with ticker NVGS. The
company owns a sophisticated fleet of 38 gas carriers that play a vital role in
the global liquefied gas supply chain, providing gas transportation solutions
for energy companies, industrial users and commodity traders. The vessels carry
cargoes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), petrochemical gases and ammonia.

Ocean Yield's Chief Executive Officer Lars Solbakken said in a comment: "We are
pleased to further diversify our portfolio of vessels with the investment in an
ethylene gas carrier with 13-year charter to Navigator Gas. Including this
vessel, Ocean Yield will have three vessels that can use ethane as fuel,
reducing emissions compared to vessels that utilize conventional fuel."
