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.

DECLINING MR2* ORDER BOOK

• Total MR2 vessel orderbook has fallen from ~48% high in 2007 of the then existing fleet to 5.6% (96

vessels) of the worldwide fleet as of December 31, 2019

• Low ordering – 37 MR2’s in 2019 (2.1% of global fleet) of which 13 are to be scrubber fitted

• Limited capacity additions - only 35 MR2s scheduled beyond 2020 due to continued limited

availability of cost-effective capital and future technology concerns

• Worldwide MR2 fleet is expected to grow at an annual gross rate of 2.5% through 2021, without giving

effect to scrapping of older vessels and slippage of deliveries

• Slippage of 3.3% in 2019 for new build MR2 deliveries, based on the number of units

MR2 SCRAPPING EXPECTED TO INCREASE

Global Fleet Age Distribution of MR2s by Tonnage

• Average age of MR2 fleet is 10.5 years

• 105 MR2 vessels (6% of worldwide fleet) are 20 years old or more

• 14 MR2 (0.8% of the MR2 fleet) scrapped in 2019

• Sizeable portion of the fleet is approaching end of its useful life - future supply will affect

replacement ability

• New environmental regulations should drive more scrapping

IMO2020 – STARTING A WAVE OF DECARBONIZATION CHANGE

Effective January 1st, Industry-Wide Fuel Regulations Limiting Sulfur Emissions to 0.5%; HSFO Carriage Ban Starting March 31st

INITIAL MARITIME

RESPONSE

► Refineries manufactured sufficient supplies of blends of compliant VLSFO

► Logistical challenges in a few major ports creating congestion & delivery

problems for re-fueling

► Temporary floating storage in handful of major ports (e.g. 22 VLCC’s in Singapore

mostly holding VLSFO*)

► Limited compatibility issues of new fuel blends but greater demand for MGO due

to proven reliability

► Initial HSFO price spreads to MGO and VLSFO higher than anticipated but

declining, e.g. 3 major ports HSFO to VLSFO avg. spread fallen 45% YTD to $209/Mt

► YE 2020 HSFO to VLSFO spread expected to be ~$180/Mt with ample supply

► Some tanker owners, who previously elected to install scrubbers, delayed retrofits

due to strong charter rates with further delays expected at Chinese yards due to

the Coronavirus outbreak

► Initial indications of scrubber economics seem to be better than anticipated but

time will tell; depending on vessel, installations cost $1.5-5M with off-hire of up to

90 days; unclear impact to vessel OPEX

► Ban on use of open-loop scrubbers in certain jurisdictions

► Widening charter premiums for Eco and modern scrubber fitted vessels vs.

standard vessels (up to $2K/d for Eco MR2 with additional $1.5K for scrubber fitted

unit)

► Little reported slow-steaming and violations

► New trading routes developing for product tankers

Pyxis will Not Install Scrubbers due to Overall Risk/Return Profile & Allot Fuel Risks to MR Charterers under Staggered T/C’s

IMO2020 – STARTING A WAVE OF DECARBONIZATION CHANGE(cont.)

Longer Term Regulatory Goal to Reduce Carbon Emissions by 2050 to 50% of 2008 levels

LONGER-TERM

RESPONSE

► Implementation of Poseidon Principles and ongoing ESG monitoring by major

financial institutions to disclose their assessment of whether borrowers are in-line

with IMO goals will result in greater lending selectivity

► Expanding issuance of “green” debt financings

► Vessel owners burdened with costs of increasing regulatory compliance but

should benefit from lower fuel consumption, greater operating efficiencies and

demand-pull for newer, environmentally-friendly vessels

► Worldwide collaborative efforts to develop new ship designs, engine/propulsion

systems and fuels

► Various technological uncertainties and limited cost-effective capital continues

to result in low new build vessel orders

► S&P activity for tankers primarily focused on older, less efficient units

► Potential for increase in “qualified” scrapping under the pending IMO Hong Kong

International Convention

evolving ripple effect worldwide

► Short-term decline in economic growth globally, and specifically within China -

Chinese GDP growth estimated to decline from 6-6.5% to 5-5.5% in 2020

► BP recently estimated a short-term reduction of Chinese daily oil consumption of

7.4%, or 1Mbpd, primarily reflecting lower jet fuel and gasoline demand for

transportation

► Changes to trade routes and potential increase in ton-miles

► Lower seasonal demand and refinery turnarounds combined with Coronavirus

effects have resulted in slightly lower charter rates – One year T/C reduced

$500/d and lower spot rates in Asia

► Disruption of vessel operations: increased monitoring of crew health, review of

prior ports of call, potential delays at ports with quarantines for vessels which

recently called in China and selective port closures within China

► Reduction of fuel costs due to lower short-term activity

► Reduction and delays in shipyard activity - newbuilds, retrofits of scrubbers and

repairs

► Implementation of Force Majeure - Chinese Council of Promotion of International

Trade is issuing Force Majeure certificates to domestic companies which has an

unquantifiable impact commercially and uncertain regulatory / legal implications

Limited Short Term Impact to Pyxis due to Time Charter Coverage but Unhealthy for All as long as Coronavirus

Persists. Rebound Could be Dramatic.

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

revenues, net 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 define Total Operational Costs as vessel Opex, technical and commercial management fees plus allocable general and

administrative expenses, applied on a daily basis, typically in comparison of our eco-efficient and eco-modified MR’s. These costs

can vary by fleet composition, vessel delivery, operating structure, management organization and dry-dockings.
