Operating and Financial review and Prospects Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting Policies Carrying Value and Impairment, page 36 1. We note your disclosure on page 37 that in 2017 you performed an impairment analysis on each vessel and the rates used were 1) the current FFA for the first two years and 2) the 25-year historical average spot earnings as reported by Clarksons Shipping Intelligence thereafter. In light of the fact that these rates appear to differ from those used in the 2016 impairment analysis, please tell us, and revise to explain in your critical accounting policy discussion, the reason for the changes in rates for years 1-3 and thereafter. As part of your response, please provide us the following information: Tell us how this change relates to your assertion of industry and rate cyclicality Laila Cecilie Halvorsen FirstName LastNameLaila Cecilie Halvorsen DHT Holdings, Inc.

We note that in the fourth quarter of 2017 you adjusted the carrying value of your fleet through a non-cash impairment charge totaling $7.9 million and a reversal of prior impairment totaling $7.4 million. For the vessels in which you reversed the prior impairment charges, please tell us the events and circumstances that led to the reversal. As part of your response, please clearly tell us why you believe the estimated service potential of the assets has increased. See paragraphs 110-116 of IAS 36. 3. We note your disclosure on the top of page 39 that in aggregate, the carrying value of your vessels as of December 31, 2018 was above the charter-free fair market value by approximately $8.1 million. Please also disclose the aggregate carrying and charter-free fair market values with respect to those vessels having carrying values that exceed their charter-free market values. Results of Operations, page 39 4. We note your disclosures regarding the factors for which fluctuations in income statement line items are attributed; however, in addition to discussing the reasons for the change (or lack thereof), please also quantify the reasons for the change, particularly when more than one factor is attributed to the change. For example, you state that certain increases were "primarily" attributed to one factor, and "partially offset" by another factor, or, you indicate, that "additionally", an increase was attributed to more than one factor without quantifying each. For a company with the size and breadth of operations as yours, these disclosures should be presented in a manner so as to allow investors to discern the relative contribution of each of the multiple components cited to the total change. Please revise to separately quantify each significant factor-such as fleet size changes and rate increases/decreases contributing to the change for each of the line items discussed within the results of operations section. As part of your response, please provide us with an example of the disclosure to be included in future filings. We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff.
