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.

Refined Products

11

Increases in Long-Haul Routes

• Growth in net refining capacity

expected to further drive demand for

product tankers.

• Low crude / feedstock prices generate

incremental refinery demand.

• Arbitrage between markets create

further opportunities

Short- to medium-haul refined petroleum products

transportations from the North Sea or West Africa to Europe or

the East Coast of the United States, from the Middle East Gulf to

the Pacific Rim.

Long Range 1 (LR1) 55,000 - 79,999Short- to medium-haul crude oil and refined petroleum products

trades both in the Atlantic Basin and the growing intra-

Asian/Middle East/ISC trades. MRs are the work horses of the

product trades.

Typical Atlantic Basin Triangulated Route

• Emerging markets in South America and

Africa have little to no refining capacity.

• U.S. exports to South America have

grown at CAGR of ~21.8% since 2006.

PRODUCT MARKETS OVERVIEW DECLINING ORDERBOOK (SUPPLY)

• Total MR vessel orderbook has fallen from a high of ~58% in 2008 of the then existing fleet to 5.3% of the current worldwide fleet, lowest since 2000.

• Record low ordering – 11 MR2’s since 1/1/16.

• Limited capacity additions scheduled beyond 2018 due to shipyard financial problems/restructurings/closures, limited availability of capital and would-be buyers exposure to weaker shipping segments.

• Worldwide MR fleet is expected to grow at an average of 2.2% per annum in 2017 and 2018, without giving effect to scrapping of older vessels and slippage of deliveries.

PRODUCT MARKETS OVERVIEW SCRAPPING IS INEVITABLE

Global Fleet Age Distribution by %

Source: Drewry, March 2017

• Average age of MR2 fleet is 9.5 years.

• 13.4% of MR2 fleet (215 ships) is greater than 20 years of age.

• Significant portion of the fleet is approaching the end of its useful life.

19

► Environmental regulations should lead to increased scrapping

• Besides aging of MR fleet, new IMO environmental regulations should

force owners to either scrap earlier or make significant vessel capital

expenditures

► 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 2017 at next vessel’s 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 from a design/installation

standpoint and cost

• Depending on vessel, fully loaded installation costs are expected to be

between $0.50 million to $0.75 million for a 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 +) to burn current

grade of fuel, or ii) pay sizeable premium (currently ~ $200 per ton or

$6,000 per day) to burn marine gas oil (MGO) fuel and run vessel at

slower speed

MR2 PRODUCT TANKER MARKET UPDATE POSITIVE NEAR-TERM OUTLOOK

► Current spot charter rates are depressed

► One year time charter rates bounced up in December 2016 but recently

softened $500/d to $12,750/d – still ~ 50% below post-recession high of

$25,000/d and 17% below 2008-16 average*

► Major reasons:

• higher inventories of refined products worldwide

• lack of arbitrage opportunities resulted in less trading

• new tonnage deliveries

► Near-term demand growth estimated at 2.5-3%/yr. led by increasing

global consumption of refined products, modest ton-mile expansion from

changing refinery landscape and increasing U.S. exports

► Net supply growth after new built deliveries, delays/cancellations and

increasing scrapping should result in a balanced supply/demand curve

leading to a better market by Q4 2017, and possible negative net fleet

growth thereafter

EXHIBIT I | NON-GAAP MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) represents the sum of net income / (loss), interest and

finance costs, depreciation and amortization and, if any, income taxes during a period. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before

vessel impairment charge and stock compensation. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measurements under U.S.

GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented as we believe that they provide investors with means of evaluating and

understanding how our management evaluates operating performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in

isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, these non-

GAAP measures do not have standardized meanings, and are therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented

by other companies.

Daily time charter equivalent (“TCE”) is a standard 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 believe that our

method of calculating TCE is consistent with industry standards and is determined 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.

Vessel operating expenses (“Opex”) per day are our vessel operating expenses for a vessel, which primarily consist of crew wages

and related costs, insurance, lube oils, communications, spares and consumables, tonnage taxes as well as repairs and

maintenance, divided by the ownership days in the applicable period.

We calculate fleet utilization (“Utilization”) by dividing the number of operating days during a period by the number of available

days during the same period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company’s efficiency in finding suitable

employment for its vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs or

repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys and intermediate dry-dockings or vessel positioning. Ownership days are

the total number of days in a period during which we owned each of the vessels in our fleet. Available days are the number of

ownership days in a period, less the aggregate number of days that our vessels were off-hire due to scheduled repairs or repairs

under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys and intermediate dry-dockings and the aggregate number of days that we

spent positioning our vessels during the respective period for such repairs, upgrades and surveys. Operating days are the number of

available days in a period, less the aggregate number of days that our vessels were off-hire or out of service due to any reason,

including technical breakdowns and unforeseen circumstances.
