INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT

Attached as Exhibit 1 is a copy of the press release of Frontline Ltd. (the
"Company") dated August 14, 2006, announcing its sale of shares in General
Maritime Corporation.


                                    Exhibit 1

FRO: Sale shares General Maritime Purchase of Newbuildings

Frontline Ltd. ("Frontline") announces that on 14th August 2006 it has sold its
entire holding of 3,860,000 shares in General Maritime Corporation ("General
Maritime") for USD $40 per share. The shares were sold to World Wide Shipping.
Frontline will record a gain of approximately USD $ 9.7 million in the third
quarter as a result of this sale. Frontline has, during the holding period, also
recorded dividend income on the same investment of approximately USD $13.3
million.

At the same time Frontline is pleased to announce that it intends to firmly
declare four further newbuilding Suezmaxes orders from Jiangsu Rongsheng Heavy
Industries Group Co. Ltd. ("Rongsheng") in China. The vessels which are 156,000
dead weight tons will be delivered in 2009. Two of these Suezmaxes will be
offered as an investment to Frontline's affiliated company, Ship Finance
International Limited. The four Suezmax newbuildings are in addition to the two
newbuildings already declared. Frontline is also in the process of discussing a
further two fixed priced options for similar vessels. The payment terms and
contract price are considered favourable to other alternative ways to renew and
grow the Frontline Suezmax fleet.

The decision to sell the General Maritime investment and order the Suezmaxes
included a comparison between the Rongsheng 2009 newbuildings and the implicit
pricing of an existing General Maritime newbuilding. With a price differential
of more than USD $20 million, the Frontline Board feels that significant
discount is given for a later delivery.

The re-organisational cost of General Maritime and the large Aframax exposure
further prevented Frontline from pursuing further action in the General Maritime
investment. Frontline, as General Maritime's largest shareholder, had a
constructive dialogue with General Maritime regarding its investment.

The Board of Frontline hopes that the sale of the General Maritime investment to
another industry player will still have a positive consolidation effect on the
tanker market. The proceeds from the sale will be allocated to repayment of
debt, equity financing of the Rongsheng investments as well as increased
dividend capacity.
