Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements including analyses and other information based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable and statements relating to our future prospects, developments and business strategies. Forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “will” and similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions. The forward-looking statements in this presentation are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. Actual results could differ materially from expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements if one or more of the underlying assumptions or expectations proves to be inaccurate or is not realized. Our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. We caution readers of this presentation not to place undue reliance on forward-looking

  • statements. Any forward-looking statements contained herein are made only as of the date of this presentation, and

we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

1. Excludes chartered-in vessels

  • 2. In addition to 28 VLGCs in the Helios LPG Pool, Dorian LPG owns four vessels that are on long-term time charter

Dorian LPG is a Market Leader in LPG Transport LPG Transport Market is Recovering from Cyclical Lows Global NGL Production & Exports Continue to Increase

  • U.S. seaborne exports remain steady and Arabian Gulf

volumes saw a slight decline

  • U.S. NGL production is pushing record levels, showing

few signs of slowing down

  • New North American fractionation and export capacity

should increase LPG production and facilitate increased exports

Asian LPG Demand Remains Strong

  • Propane maintains a competitive price advantage as a

feedstock in Asia vs. Naphtha

  • A wave of new chemical and PDH plants are planned and

are under construction globally

  • LPG retail use continues to grow in India and rural China

Improved Fleet Utilization Reflects Manageable Orderbook

  • Global fleet utilization has also improved meaningfully
  • Orderbook-to-fleet remains stable at ~13%
  • The costs of IMO 2020 are expected to increase vessel

LPG Market Fundamentals

SLIDE 6
  • LPG is cleaner than coal and oil;

as an alternative fuel it can remove sulfur and particulate exhaust, reducing greenhouse gas emissions

  • LPG is also highly portable,

making it a convenient source of energy usable in remote places where ordinary gas supplies are unavailable or have been interrupted

Why Use LPG?

  • Liquefied petroleum gas ("LPG") is

a combination of C3 (propane) and C4 (butane)

  • Both are natural gas liquids

(“NGLs”) and are a byproduct of oil and natural gas production

  • These molecules are extracted or

fractionated through natural gas processing and oil refining

North American LPG Export Capacity Currently Stands at >90% Utilization

  • Corresponding domestic demand growth appears unlikely, necessitating increasing exports to clear the market
  • Energy Transfer’s Mariner East II began service in late 2018 and is expected to add three to four monthly VLGC cargoes

initially, growing to seven to eight by 2021

  • Enterprise’s expansion of its Houston export facility is expected to come online by 2H19, adding capacity for an additional

8-9 VLGCs per month

  • Ridley Island in British Columbia was commissioned in 2Q19 and loaded its first cargo in May with two additional

shipments in June and another two in July

  • U.S. NGL production is growing at a record pace, but limited fractionation capacity has

constrained product growth

  • Growing fractionation capacity at Mont Belvieu should allow midstream players to

fractionate more Y-grade product into propane and butane for export at lower prices

  • New capacity at Corpus Christi and Freeport will largely serve Permian volumes

  • On 23 August 2018, Beijing placed a 25% tariff on U.S. LPG in response to American tariffs on Chinese exports
  • Residential LPG is still required as a substitute for coal in more remote areas, where piped gas infrastructure is too costly to

install, but chemicals should account for a growing share of China’s LPG demand, especially with the nation’s rapidly expanding petrochemical complex

  • The EIA estimates that Chinese petchem demand will rise to a total of more than 21.0 MTPA by 2024
  • New wave of Chinese PDH plants is driving demand - Zhejiang Satellite’s 0.5 MTPA expansion is in service and the 0.7 MTPA

Fujian Meide plant is expected to start up in 2H19

  • State-owned refiners are also starting up an estimated 3.7 MTPA of alkylation units, which should reduce refinery supplies of

butane currently sold to stand alone deep-processing units and increase the need for imports

been operating at high utilization rates since 2017

  • Domestic Chinese LPG production from deep processing

appears to be decreasing

  • LPG production from oil refineries has decreased since 2016
  • Ongoing government rationalization of refineries may also

decrease domestic LPG production even further over the next several years

  • Following Modi’s landslide victory, it is expected that the Indian government will continue to implement strong-demand driven

policies that should benefit LPG demand growth such as targeting 80mm household connections by 2020

  • The latest Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) data reveals that total LPG consumption grew 11.1% during January

2019 and 5.7% between January and April

  • The government forecasts annual LPG demand to grow by 11%-12% over the next five years

Four Years of Technical and Commercial Experience Operating Scrubbers Systems

An Early Adopter of Scrubber Technology

  • Corvette and Concorde were equipped with scrubbers at delivery in 2015
  • Dorian LPG has had a head start, employing both a hybrid system and an enhanced open loop system (both VGP compliant)
  • Scrubber systems add incremental complexity to vessels’ technical and operational management
  • Experience integrating scrubber systems into vessel operations has prepared Dorian LPG to add ten additional scrubber

systems to its fleet with marginal disruption

  • Installation is planned to coincide with previously scheduled drydocking reducing vessel offhire and overall installation costs

  • The Helios LPG Pool is a 50/50 partnership between Dorian

LPG and Phoenix Tankers, a subsidiary of MOL of Japan​

  • The primary goal of the Pool is to create a critical mass of

reliable and efficient VLGCs to allow Helios to provide the most dependable global LPG maritime solution. Offering spot freight, TCs, and COAs facilitates flexibility and affordability, while optimizing earnings for all partners​

  • Earnings are allocated to each vessel participating in the

Pool based on “Pool Points,” which are awarded based on vessel characteristics such as carrying capacity and fuel consumption over the relevant period​

Recent VLGC Deliveries and Current Orderbook VLGC Fleet Age Profile and Potential Scrapping

  • 6 VLGCs were scrapped in 2018
  • 1 ship in 1Q18 (28 yo)
  • 3 ships in 2Q18 (avg. age of 32 yo)
  • 1 ship in 3Q18 (27 yo)
  • 1 ship in 4Q18 (28 yo)
  • 35 potential scrapping candidates, represent ~14% of

the current fleet

  • IMO 2020 regulations expected to accelerate

scrapping pressure in the near term as compliant fuel increases in price, making less efficient ships uneconomical

  • Orderbook-to-fleet stands at ~13%
  • Increasing output from the U.S., Canada, and

Australia should be enough to absorb near-term deliveries

  • Asian buyers will increasingly look to diversify supply

away from Iran, likely having a positive effect on utilization and minimizing the impact of new tonnage
