INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT

This Report on Form 6-K is hereby incorporated by reference into the registration statement of Knightsbridge Tankers Limited (the "Company") on Form F-3 (Registration No. 333-164007) declared effective on March 15, 2010.

On August 19, 2010, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, MSPC, notified the Company that it would not stand for re-election at the Company's Annual General Meeting of shareholders to be held on September 24, 2010.

The reports of MSPC on the financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and through August 19, 2010, there were no disagreements with MSPC on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MSPC, would have caused MSPC to make reference to the matter of such disagreements in their reports.

The Company has provided MSPC with a copy of this report.

On August 20, 2010, the audit committee of the board of directors approved the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers AS ("PwC") as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm. A resolution ratifying such appointment will be included in the proposals for the Annual General Meeting of shareholders to be held on September 24, 2010. During the Company's two fiscal years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008 and through August 19, 2010, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PwC regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
