MARKET OVERVIEWPRODUCT TANKER INDUSTRY

PRODUCT MARKETS OVERVIEWSUMMARY

►Our vessels transport refined petroleum products (known as “CPP” or “clean petroleum products”

including gasoline, diesel oil, gasoil and jet fuel as well as “DPP” or “dirty petroleum products” such as

fuel oil) and certain bulk liquids such as edible oils and certain specific chemicals

► In 2015, seaborne trade of refined products was approximately 905 million tons and edible oils and

other bulk liquids was about 220 million tons

►As of January 2016, the worldwide fleet of tankers that carry such cargoes consist of 4,119 vessels with

168.4 million dwt (excluding tankers below 10,000 dwt)*

International Maritime Organization rated “IMO-II and III” specification vessels are able to carry

easy chemicals, vegetable oils and bio-fuels

Larger tankers represent a majority of total worldwide capacity

• MR or Medium Range tankers are typically 25,000 – 54,999 dwt

• LR1 or Long-Range 1 tankers are typically 55,000 – 79,999 dwt

• LR2 or Long-Range 2 tankers are typically 80,000 – 119,999 dwt

PRODUCT TANKER INDUSTRYDEMAND

► Solid worldwide GDP growth in near-term: 3.4% in 2016 and 3.6% in 2017*

► Seaborne trade of refined products increased 2.7% in 2015.** Major factors include:

The shift of refineries away from points of consumption resulting in greater ton-mile demand,

especially for larger tankers

Refined product trade is much more complicated than crude oil trade due to refinery

capacity and technology, government regulations of fuel standards and arbitrage

opportunities

Lower crude/feedstock prices generate positive refinery crack spreads and incremental

demand for broad range of CPP

►Growth in net refining capacity is expected to drive the demand for product tankers based on the

following ongoing trends:

U.S. has become a major supplier of gasoil/diesel and gasoline in the Atlantic Basin market

Emerging markets in South America and Africa, which have little to no refining capacity,

require CPP to fuel their economies

The closure of inefficient European refineries, improving European domestic demand and

stricter fuel and environmental standards are creating a strong import and export market for

various clean products

Global adoption of standardized CPP specifications are increasing trading opportunities

Expansion of new refineries in the Middle East and India focusing on refined product exports

PRODUCT TANKER INDUSTRYSUPPLY

►Global MR fleet stood at over 1,500 tankers with over 70 million dwt with avg age ~9 yrs.*

►MR orderbook has fallen from high of ~58% in 2008 to ~11.6% of the existing global fleet*

► Shipbuilding capacity booked into late 2017:

Current MR newbuild construction prices below 10 year average price with limited new orders

Worldwide MR fleet is expected to grow on average 5.3%/year in 2016 and 2017, exclusive of

scrapping of older vessels and delays in new vessel deliveries*

Access to cost-effective capital still important factor in funding newbuild deliveries

► Level of scrapping will affect future supply:

Only 4 MR tankers were removed from the global fleet in 2015*

But, 5.6% of worldwide MR fleet is 20+ years of age

SOLID OUTLOOKMR CHARTER RATES, RUNNING COSTS & ASSET VALUES

►Healthy MR chartering environment*:

2015 2016E

Spot rates /day (Caribs- USAC) $20,400 $18,400

1 yr. time charter $17,400 $16,600

►Charter rates improved in 2015 and are currently above 5 yr avg but significantly below peak

►Vessel running costs improving:

Stable operating costs with little inflation and dramatically lower bunker fuel and lubricant

costs (depending on location 50-67% decline since 2014)

► Increasing ship values:

Re-sale of newbuild MR with prompt delivery is estimated $37 - 37.5 million, at least $2 million

difference for yard delivery in late 2017

Five year old ship values rose in 2015 but are below 10 yr. avg

• Current estimated values $27 - 28 Million

* Drewry; Note: Several Wall Street research analysts utilize higher spot rate estimates for 2016
