Forward looking statements

Matters discussed in this presentation may constitute forward-looking statements under U.S. federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans,

  • bjectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements,

which are other than statements of historical facts. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, projects, believes or anticipates will or may

  • ccur in the future, including, without limitation, the delivery of vessels, the outlook for tanker shipping rates, general

industry conditions future operating results of the Company’s vessels, capital expenditures , expansion and growth

  • pportunities, bank borrowings, financing activities and other such matters, are forward-looking statements.

Although the Company believes that its expectations stated in this presentation are based on reasonable assumptions, actual results may differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the failure of counterparties to fully perform their obligations to us, the strength of the world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including changes in tanker vessel charter hire rates and vessel values, changes in demand for tankers, changes in our vessel operating expenses when the are delivered to us, including dry-docking, crewing and insurance costs, or actions taken by regulatory authorities, ability of customers of our pools to perform their obligations under charter contracts on a timely basis, potential liability from future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents and political events or acts by terrorists. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement contained in this presentation, whether as a result of new information, future events or

  • therwise, except as required by law. In light of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward looking events

discussed in this presentation might not occur, and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Euronav at a glance

  • Large in-the-water crude oil tanker operator (55 modern tankers, $1.6Bn+ Market Cap)
  • Vertically integrated operator with no related party transactions, no hidden fees or commissions
  • More than 70% of fleet exposed to the spot market allowing for strong cash generation potential
  • Strong relationships with high quality charterers
  • Management (75 years of combined tanker shipping experience) focus on one company
  • Pro forma fleet mix 29 VLCC, 23 Suezmax, 1 ULCC, 2 FSOs
  • Current industry themes –

Demand – Increased Ton-Miles Supply – Lowest order book since 2003 Cyclical low in rates and asset values One of the largest independent owners & operators of crude oil tankers in the world

  • Indirect benefit – LR2/Aframax will export condensate but positive knock on effect for VLCC, Suezmax
  • Heavy crude imports remain intact – Middle East to USA Heavy crude unchanged since 2005 & to remain
  • Displacement drives further increase in ton miles – Latam/WAF to USA will now go Latam/WAF to Far East

What does A-B-C mean? Two stage rocket – super cycle coming

Structural growth >2016 could mean a further estimated 270 VLCCs are required Stage 1

STRUCTURAL EXPANSION 2016 ++ Crude routes restructured via - Refinery expansion M East & China

  • Asian demand and US not importing

CYCLICAL RECOVERY – 2014 – 2016 Negative fleet growth for first time since 2003 drives restricted supply Non-OECD demand drives 2-3m bpd growth

Stage 2

  • M East refinery expansion – hard

plans to expand capacity by 4m bpd by 2018 means a decrease in exports from Middle East

  • Atlantic Supply – 3-5m bpd –

Russian, US, North Sea, WAF, Brazil Oil into Atlantic as US not importing

  • Asian Demand – continues –

end user demand & refinery expansion LIKELY SHIFT Asian refiners NOT getting M East crude ~ 5mbpd Euro refiners not buying NSea/WAF crude ~ 2-3 mbpd Additional Atlantic crude supply (WAF/Brazil) ~ 2mbpd TOTAL SHIFT ~5-8m bpd from M East to Atlantic SENSITIVITIES 1m bpd supplied to Asia from WAF instead of Middle East ~ 17 VLCC 1m bpd additional supplied to Asia from WAF ~ 40 VLCC 1m bpd additional supplied to Asia from Carib ~ 45 VLCC CONCLUSIONS (spread over 3 scenarios) 5m bpd ~ 170 VLCC 8m bpd ~ 270 VLCC

  • Euronav has deliberately positioned itself toward more

spot exposure at this stage of the cycle

  • Look to opportunistically employ crude carriers as crude

storage units, to take advantage of rates in offshore sector

(a) (a)

  • We aim to selectively buy and sell vessels at attractive prices to consolidate and strengthen our operating platform
  • Focus on cash flow potential and ultimate returns on invested capital in each investment decision

Co-operation via Pools Foster Partnerships Active Consolidation

  • Focus on ships/fleets on water NOT

new buildings

  • Look to use equity as currency when

accretive opportunities arise

  • Engaged in developing alliances and
  • ther partner relationships
  • Revenue sharing agreements and
  • perate fleet for 3rd party
  • TI Pool undertaking leadership

role

  • Greater membership of Pools

should lead to information flow and better pricing for crude sector

First half financial highlights

1H 2014 operating environment

  • Q1 was first positive earnings quarter since the beginning of the global financial crisis on the back of continued

strong tanker demand, less tanker capacity and a meaningfully higher rate environment

  • Q2 was dominated with one of the longest and deepest turnaround seasons for refineries we have seen which

reduced demand for crude oil and resulted in weaker TCE rates

Outlook

  • Limited tonnage increase forecasted
  • Market is expected to be volatile but if current momentum is maintained into Q3 then the winter (in northern

hemisphere) will get off to a strong start

  • Rates in both VLCC and Suezmax categories have improved significantly during June and July
  • We believe crude tanker rates will remain strong in the coming months due to positive seasonal demand

factors and improving ton-mile demand fundamentals
