    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 (except possibly maiden

    voyage).

    Non-oil substances now covered by

    revised IBC Code. To carry chemicals,

    an IMO Certificate of Fitness is

    required.

    • MR2: Low ordering – 41 MR2’s in 2018 (2.5% of global trading fleet)

    • Limited capacity additions scheduled due to continued financial problems/restructurings/closures at

    certain shipyards and limited availability of cost-effective capital

    ► New environmental regulations should lead to increased scrapping and more dry-

    dockings• Force owners to either scrap earlier or make significant vessel capital expenditures to remain

    operationally competitive

    • Increased dry-docking days temporarily reduce available supply

    • 115 MR2 (7% of world fleet) are 19 years old or more

    ► 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 2019 at vessel’s next 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 and costly

    • Depending on vessel, fully loaded installation costs expected to be between $0.5-0.6 million for

    a standard MR tanker

    NEW ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

    TO DRIVE MORE SCRAPPING

    Source: Drewry, January 2019

  • 18

    New stricter regulations on sulphur emissions starting January 1, 2020• Limits reduced from 3.5% to 0.5% for bunker fuel

    • Impact to worldwide merchant fleet of over 75,000 vessels and 3.5 million bpd of bunkers

    • Refineries will increase distillate yields starting 2H 2019 to capture higher margins and demand

    for low - sulphur fuel oil (LSFO)

    • Bunker fuel redistribution to global ports, hubs and storage terminals create new and

    expanded trade routes resulting in incremental demand for MR2’s

    ► Vessel owners can either:I. Install expensive scrubbers (~$2.0 million cost vs. ~$4.0 million vessel scrap value) to

    burn current grade of 380 fuel, or

    II. Pay sizeable fuel premium (currently ~ $225 per ton or $6,750 per day) to burn marine

    gas oil (MGO) and run vessel at slower speed

    • Scrubber installation requires incremental drydocking days and temporarily reduces

    capacity

    • Potential onboard technical and operating challenges of scrubbers could increase

    operating costs; expanding list of coastal areas and countries banning open-loop

    scrubbers could negatively effect scrubber adoption

    • Slow steaming to effectively reduce global vessel supply in 2020 by ~50 MR2

    • Introduction of compliant fuel blends of LSFO –when and what prices TBD

    ► Multi-tiered charter market, favoring eco-efficient vessels, expected within multi-year rising

    charter rate environment

    EXHIBIT I | NON-GAAP DEFINITIONS

    Daily time charter equivalent (“TCE”) is a 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 calculate TCE 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.
