Tanker Sector Overview (Cont’d)

Crude oil tankers carry crude oil, diesel oil or residual fuel oil “dirty” products

Product tankers are able to carry “clean” refined petroleum products such as gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, naphtha and gas oil

Crude and Product tankers as a whole do not form a distinct tanker classification, but are identified on the basis of their size, coating of their cargo tanks, number of cargo segregations and cargo pumping systems

─ The product tanker fleet comprises of LR2, LR1 and MR product tankers, which are similar to Aframax, Panamax and Handymax crude oil tankers, respectively in terms of specification with the main difference being the coating of the tanks, which allow for transportation of the “cleaner,” more corrosive oil products

Chemical tankers are generally smaller tankers up to ~60,000 dwt at various IMO grades with a greater number of tanks and special coating that allows them to carry organic / inorganic chemicals, vegetable oils and other special cargos

─ Chemical tankers of IMO III grade are also able to carry refined petroleum products and are deemed to be part of the product fleet as well

Crude Tankers Supply-Demand Dynamics

Product Tankers Supply-Demand Dynamics

The crude tanker market is still suffering from unfavorable supply-demand dynamics

─ The crude tanker tonnage is expected to grow by 3.9% y-o-y in 2013 while demand is expected to grow by 2.5% during the same time frame

The product tanker market is showing much more favorable supply-demand dynamic fundamentals

─ Product tanker fleet is expected to increase by 3.3% y-o-y in 2013 and demand is expected to increase by 4.6%

─ The positive demand growth outlook is partly driven by growth in volumes on long-haul routes and projected improvements in trade outlook from the US to South America

Global oil demand is the leading driver of crude tanker market outlook

─ Traditionally driven by developed economies

─ Developing economies have driven growth over the past few years

─ Any marginal increase in demand is usually transported by sea given lead time, cost and nature of distribution alternatives

Global oil production also significantly impacts crude tanker market demand outlook

─ Non-OPEC production is currently a bigger piece of the overall picture, affecting trade flows

Source: Clarksons Research, IEA , EIA and Jefferies Equity Research.

With OECD inventories at 59.8 days of forward demand versus a historical average of 54-55 days, and US inventories near a 20+ year high, current global oil production levels are at unsustainably high levels

─ Without a reduction in current oil production and/or an increase in real oil demand, global crude oil inventory levels will likely rise further applying additional pressure on global crude oil prices

US oil production has been growing y-o-y while demand has been moving in the opposite direction

─ Production has grown by 28.0% since 2007 while demand has fallen by 10.0%

─ There are federal restrictions in the export of US crude

The product tanker trade will benefit from continuously growing US refined product exports

─ US refined product exports set a record in Q4 2012 at 3.2 MMbd and product tanker spot rates entered 2013 at near 4-year highs

─ Increasing US crude oil production should also translate to additional US refined product exports in 2013

With robust growth in US crude oil production and US refined product production, a major portion of the OECD product inventories are being built up in North America

─ As of March 2013, approximately 48.9% of the OECD product inventories belonged to North America

Total global refining capacity is projected to increase approximately 2-3% in 2013

─ Majority of the capacity additions scheduled in Asia and Middle East

─ Refining capacity in Asia has increased by 5.5 MMbd since 2009, more than offsetting the Atlantic Basin shutdowns

The seaborne product trade is expected to expand 3-4% in 2013

─ Product tanker trade will benefit from both record US exports and structural changes within the global refining complex

Evolving Product Trade Flows

Product Exports: Major Growth Regions (MMbpd)

Source: Clarksons Shipping Intelligence Network and EIA.

Global product imports are projected to increase by 3.9% in 2013

─ While imports are expected to be static in Europe and decline in the US, non-US and non-Europe areas such as Latin America are expected to grow their imports due to fundamental changes in refinery capacity affecting product import-export dynamics

US exports of products have grown significantly in recent years and will continue to grow due to an unbalanced dynamic between expanding US crude production and stagnant US oil demand

─ Middle East and India have also shown growth in product exports with continuous refinery capacity additions across the respective regions

Total Global Seaborne Trade by Commodity Group (MM tonnes)

Chemical Products Demand Overview

Annual Percentage Growth Rate of Seaborne Chemical Trade

Source: Drewry Maritime Research.

Seaborne trade of chemicals is expected to grow in the near-term future

─ Refinery expansion in the Middle East is expected to drive clean petroleum products (“CPP”) and chemical trade flows especially in regional trades due to the region’s proximity to the Asian Markets

─ Also, the expected substantial increase of US organic exports could be beneficial for ton-mile demand in the chemical tanker sector

Seaborne chemical trade is greatly influenced by global economic development

─ The movement in seaborne chemical trade has closely followed the trends of global GDP, as well as industrial production growth

Chemical Tanker Supply and Demand (2)

The surplus capacity problem created during the economic boom has continuously been mitigated since the 2008 crash

─ Annual growth in the orderbook dwt averaged 41.3% from 2002 to 2007 but has since declined at an annual average of 14.0% from 2008 to 2013 YTD

─ As a result, orderbook as a % of fleet has declined in the last 5 years to 12.7% from 75.8% as fleet growth has slowed significantly

The supply-demand dynamics in the chemical tanker market has been improving and is expected to become even more favorable in the near-term

─ Demand for chemical cargos is expected to grow at an average of 3.1% from 2013 to 2016 while supply is expected to decline at an average of 0.9%

Rates in shipping are usually quoted on a Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) basis in order to facilitate comparisons across different operators and periods

─ Fuel costs can be a significant part of total cost, which is sometimes overlooked due to the TCE convention

For example, a MR product tanker burns approximately 30 tons of bunker per day laden at 13.5 knots which, based on today’s bunker cost of ~$600 / ton, results in a daily cost of $18,000

This means that, given current MR product tanker 1-yr TC rate of $14,000 / day, a MR product tanker operating in the spot market will have to earn $32,000 / day ($14,000 + $18,000) to earn a TCE rate of $14,000 / day

Larger vessels burn could burn 3-4 times more fuel, while fuel consumption rises exponentially with increases in speed, rendering fuel cost a significant consideration when trading spot
