                                                     PRESS RELEASE









For immediate release                               23 August 2006



                           Braemar Seascope Group plc



Buy out of 50% interest in Braemar Container Shipping and Chartering Limited 
                                  ('BCSCL')



Braemar Seascope has purchased the 50% interest in BCSCL that it did not
previously own from its joint venture partners, Shipping and Chartering GMBH.
The consideration for the purchase of the 50% interest was £1.225 million
satisfied in cash from existing resources.



The business comprises 10 container brokers covering both the sale and purchase
and the chartering markets, based in Braemar Seascope's London office. In the
year to 28 February 2006, BCSCL earned revenues of £1.8m and pre-tax profits of
£0.3m.



Commenting on the deal, Braemar Seascope's Chief Executive, Alan Marsh, said,



'It is logical that our successful container desk is wholly-owned within Braemar
Seascope's broking operation and we are pleased to expand our interest in this
important market.'
