REFINED PRODUCTS OVERVIEW

Petroleum Products Bitumen Fuel Oil Cycle Oils Diesel/Gasoil Kerosene Gasolines Clean Condensates Naphthas Other Bulk Liquids Vegetable Oils & Organic Chemicals

Dirty Products Clean Products

Crude

Most products tankers can switch between clean and dirty products when the tanks are carefully cleaned. Gasoil is a good clean up cargo when switching from dirty to clean products. More sophisticated product tankers work at this end of the market, some with the ability to carry products and certain chemicals. Crude tankers carry only crude oil and fuel oils. Non-oil substances now covered by revised IBC Code. To carry chemicals, an IMO Certificate of Fitness is required.

Increases in Long-Haul Routes

EVOLVING TRADE ROUTES WITH TON MILES INCREASING

• Growth in net refining capacity expected to further drive demand for product tankers
• Lower crude / feedstock prices generate incremental refinery demand
• Arbitrage between markets create further opportunities
• Emerging, growing markets in South America and Africa have little to no refining capacity
• U.S. exports to South America have grown at CAGR of ~15.2% from 2007 to 2017

MR2 ORDER BOOK AT LOWEST LEVEL SINCE 2000

• Total MR2 vessel orderbook has fallen from a ~48% high in 2007 of the then existing fleet to 6% (98

MR2 vessels) of the worldwide fleet, lowest since 2000

• MR2: Low ordering – 52 MR2’s in 2017 (3.2% of global fleet)
• Limited

capacity additions scheduled beyond 2018 due to continued financial problems/restructurings/closures at shipyards and limited availability of cost-effective capital

• Worldwide MR2 fleet is expected to grow at an average of 2.7% (gross) per annum in 2018 and 2019,

without giving effect to scrapping of older vessels and slippage of deliveries

MR2 SCRAPPING EXPECTED TO INCREASE

Global Fleet Age Distribution by Tonnage

Source: Drewry, January 2018

• Average age of MR2 fleet is 9.7 years
• 95 MR2 vessels (5.8%) are 20 years old or more
• Less than 1% scrapping in 2017
• Sizeable portion of the fleet is approaching end of its useful life - future supply will affect

replacement ability

• New environmental regulations should drive more scrapping

► Environmental regulations should lead to increased scrapping

• Force owners to either scrap earlier or make significant vessel capital

expenditures to remain operationally competitive

• 166 MR2 (10.2% of world fleet) are 17 year old +

► Ballast Water Treatment System (“BWTS”)

• Ballast sea water is used to stabilize vessels and ensure structural integrity;

Pumped before/after cargo is loaded/unloaded

• Starting September 2019 at vessel’s next special survey, owners will have to

install approved BWTS, which removes inactive organisms from ballast water prior to discharge

• Retrofits in older tankers can be challenging and costly
• Depending on vessel, fully loaded installation costs expected to be between

$0.50 million to $0.75 million for a standard MR tanker ► New stricter regulations on sulfur emissions starting January 2020

• Limits reduced from 3.5% to 0.5%
• Owners either i) install expensive scrubber (~$3.0 million+ cost vs. ~$4.0 million

vessel scrap value) to burn current grade of fuel, or ii) pay sizeable premium (currently ~ $240 per ton or $7,200 per day) to burn marine gas oil (MGO) fuel and run vessel at slower speed

NEW ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS TO DRIVE MORE SCRAPPING

EXHIBIT I | NON-GAAP DEFINITIONS

Daily time charter equivalent (“TCE”) is a shipping industry performance measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel on a per voyage basis. TCE is not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We utilize TCE because we believe it is a meaningful measure to compare period-to-period changes in our performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which our vessels may be employed between the periods. Our management also utilizes TCE to assist them in making decisions regarding employment of the vessels. We calculate TCE by dividing voyage revenues after deducting voyage related costs and commissions by operating days for the relevant period. Voyage related costs and commissions primarily consist of brokerage commissions, port, canal and fuel costs that are unique to a particular voyage, which would otherwise be paid by the charterer under a time charter contract.
