Exhibit 99.1

DHT HOLDINGS, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2010 RESULTS AND DECLARES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND

ST. HELIER, Channel Islands, August 26, 2010 -- DHT Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:DHT) (“DHT” or the “Company”) today announced:

Highlights

●	The Board of Directors of DHT (the “Board”) declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share for the quarter payable on September 17, 2010 for shareholders of record as of September 9, 2010.
●	Revenues of $21.1 million reflect no profit-sharing contribution due to continued weakness in spot rates. Additionally, revenues were impacted by an underperformance related bunker claim totaling $ 1.2 million due to an unexpected delay in scrubbing of the hulls of the VLCCs.
●	Adjusted for interest rate swap expenses, net loss was $1.0 million, or $0.02 per share. Net loss including swap expenses was $2.0 million, or $0.04 per share.
●	The results for the second quarter also reflect increased vessel operating expenses and higher costs related to the CEO change and the settlement with MMI.
●	Cash on hand at quarter-end was $54 million.
●	DHT’s Board concluded the executive search naming Svein Moxnes Harfjeld President and CEO; expanded management team with appointment of Trygve P. Munthe as COO.

DHT will host a conference call at 8:00 a.m. EDT today to present the results for the quarter. See below for further details.

Second Quarter Results

The Company today reported revenues for the period from April 1 to June 30, 2010, of $21.1 million, compared to revenues of $26.2 million for the prior-year period. The decrease in year-over-year revenues primarily reflects the lack of revenues under the Company's profit-sharing arrangements with OSG1 as charterer of DHT’s vessels and a $1.2 million underperformance bunker claim. In the comparable 2009 period, the Company realized $4.2 million in additional revenues under the Company's profit-sharing arrangements.

The Company reported a net loss of $2.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010, compared to net income of $5.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2009. After adjusting for non-cash financial items related to interest rate swaps, net loss for the second quarter of 2010 was $1.0 million, or $0.02 per share. Free cash flow from operations was $6.0 million, or $0.12 per share2.

Randee Day, Acting Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased that the reliability of our contracted revenues and stable vessel values enables the company to pay a dividend again this quarter of $0.10 per share. As previously advised, this quarter was impacted by the costs associated with our CEO change and the MMI settlement. These additional expenses increased G&A by $1.1 million. Also, our results were impacted by higher vessel operating expenses related to additional work and purchase of spare parts in connection with our two interim surveys as well as an underperformance claim due to an unexpected delay in scrubbing of the hulls of the VLCC’s. ”

Through the profit-sharing elements of the time charter agreements for the VLCCs and the Aframax tankers, DHT earns an additional amount equal to 40% of the excess of the vessels’ actual net time charter equivalent (“TCE”) earnings in the commercial pools over the base charter hire rates for the quarter, calculated on a fleet wide basis and on a four quarter rolling average. The Overseas Newcastle has a profit sharing arrangement whereby DHT earns an additional amount equal to 33% of the vessel's TCE earnings above $35,000 per day.

Free cash flow from operations after contractual debt service represents the sum of net income, amortization of unrealized loss of interest rate swaps, fair value (gain)/loss on derivative financial instrument and depreciation and amortization. Please refer to the table on page 9 for a reconciliation between net income and free cash flow from operations after contractual debt service.

Management Announcement

On August 4, 2010, DHT announced that effective September 1, 2010, Svein Moxnes Harfjeld will join DHT as President and Chief Executive Officer, and Trygve P. Munthe will join the Company as Chief Operating Officer. Randee Day, a Board member who has been serving as acting CEO since April, will continue her Board service as a non-executive director.

Harfjeld and Munthe have over 40 years of combined experience and proven track records in the shipping industry. Harfjeld was most recently with the BW Group, where he held senior management positions including Group Executive Director, CEO of BW Offshore, Director of Bergesen dy and Director of World-Wide Shipping. Previously he held senior positions at Andhika Maritime, Coeclerici and Mitsui O.S.K. Munthe most recently served as Director with the Norwegian shipowner Arne Blystad. He was previously CEO of Western Bulk, President of Skaugen Petrotrans and CFO of I.M. Skaugen.

Additional Second Quarter 2010 Financial Information

Of the $21.1 million of revenues for the first quarter of 2010, $16.4 million relates to the seven vessels on time charter and $4.7 million relates to the two vessels on bareboat charter. After adjusting for the underperformance bunkers claim, the VLCCs earned an average TCE of $33,500 per day, the two Aframax tankers which operate in the Aframax International pool earned an average TCE of $24,800 per day and the Aframax tankers, Overseas Ania and Overseas Rebecca earned $19,200 per day. The Suezmax tankers, Overseas Newcastle and Overseas London earned $26,300 per day and $26,600 per day respectively under thei r bareboat charters.

The revenue days for the second quarter of 2010 were 253 for the VLCCs and 357 for the Aframaxes. Total off-hire for running repairs and mandatory inspections amounted to 27 days during the second quarter of 2010 of which 19 days related to Overseas Regal completing its Class Interim Survey. Following completion of this survey, no vessel is scheduled to undergo any mandatory Class Survey until the second quarter of 2011.

DHT’s vessel expenses for the quarter, including insurance costs, were $8.9 million. The vessel expenses were impacted by additional work undertaken and acquisition of spare parts in connection with the two scheduled interim class surveys performed in the first half of the year.

Depreciation and amortization expenses, including depreciation of capitalized dry docking costs, were $7.1 million. General and administrative expenses were $2.4 million and included costs related to management change and legal cost related to the proxy contest with MMI.

Net finance expenses of $4.8 million included a gain on interest rate swaps of $2.0 million and amortization of unrealized loss on interest rate swaps of $3.0 million.

At the end of the second quarter, the Company’s cash balance was $54 million. The Company remains in compliance with its financial covenants.
