with placing a large newbuilding order at Hyundai HI,

although predecessor entities have invested in and

managed LPG vessels since 2002

• The fleet is comprised of 19 ECO-VLGCs and three

modern VLGCs, with an average age of 4.6 years

• 19 vessels are currently employed in the Helios LPG Pool

that operates 29 vessels total and was founded by the

Company together with Phoenix Tankers in April 2015

• The remaining vessels are on time charter contracts to

major companies

• The Company provides in-house commercial and

technical management services for all of the vessels in

LPG Market Fundamentals

Page 6: Investor Presentations21.q4cdn.com/513962416/files/doc_presentations/2019/...2019/01/10  · • Chinese PDH and other Asian cracking demand will far outweigh incremental Middle Eastern

• LPG is cleaner than coal and oil

and an alternative to gasoline,

producing less air pollution and

carbon dioxide emissions

• LPG is also highly portable,

making it a convenient source of

energy usable in remote places

where ordinary gas supplies are

unavailable or have been

interrupted

Why Use LPG?

• Liquefied petroleum gas ("LPG") is

a combination of C3 (propane) and

C4 (butane)

• Both are natural gas liquids

(“NGLs”) and are a byproduct of oil

and natural gas production

• These molecules are extracted or

“cracked” through natural gas

processing and oil refining

their seasonal build a month longer

than observed over the past three

years despite strong exports

• Mont Belvieu pricing now reacts

more quickly to international

propane prices, making U.S.

volumes increasingly competitive

for export

• Record propane production of

2.145 MMbbl/d was reached during

the last week of December

• 94 Bcf/d of wet gas was marketed

during October

• Growing oil production in the

Permian and Mid-Continent are

likely to push NGL production

higher

initially, growing to seven to eight by 2021

• Enterprise also recently announced the expansion of its Houston export facility by 2H19, adding capacity for an additional

• On 23 August, Beijing placed a 25% tariff on U.S. LPG in response to American tariffs on Chinese exports

• Residential LPG is still required as a substitute for coal in more remote areas, where piped gas infrastructure is too costly to

install, but chemicals should account for a growing share of China’s LPG demand, especially with the nation’s rapidly expanding

petrochemical complex

• Although no new PDH plants started up in China last year, both the 0.7 MTPA Fujian Meide plant and Zhejiang Satellite’s 0.5

MTPA expansion are expected to start up in 2H18

• China’s LPG demand hit 1.7 MMbbl/d in June, assuming 0.5 MMbbl/d of net imports based on Kpler cargo-tracking data

• State-owned refiners are also starting up an estimated 3.7 MTPA of alkylation units, which should reduce refinery supplies of

butane currently sold to stand alone deep-processing units and increase the need for imports

• Chinese PDH margins average $380/ton YTD 2018 and have

been operating at high utilization rates since 2017

• Domestic Chinese LPG production from deep processing

appears to be decreasing

• LPG production from oil refineries has decreased since 2016

• Ongoing government rationalization of refineries may also

decrease domestic LPG production even further over the next

several years

Government Subsidies are Boosting Consumer Adoption

The LPG Nation: India

Indian LPG Demand is Steadily Increasing

19

• The Indian LPG subsidy is the largest government subsidy scheme in the country’s history

• 55mm LPG retail connections were added from May 2016 to present; another 30mm are planned through March 2020

• The government forecasts annual LPG demand to grow by 11-12% over the next five years

• The Indian Oil Corporation’s LPG pipeline between its 300 Mbbl/d Paradip refinery and eastern India is planned to start up in

November

• Part of the pipeline was commissioned in April, making eastern India one of the country’s fastest-growing LPG demand centers,

increasing by 12.1% y/y in September

• The Company has been at the forefront of evaluating LPG as a

marine fuel, completing a feasibility study with the American Bureau

of Shipping and signing a letter of intent with Hyundai Heavy Global

Services for the upgrade of up to ten vessels

• Current LPG-HFO fuel cost differential does not yet support the

investment required to retrofit vessels for use of LPG as a primary

marine fuel

decks necessary to accommodate LPG fuel tanks in the case of

retrofitting for LPG bunkering

VLGC Spot Rates Have Recovered from Cyclical Lows

Baltic VLGC Daily Spot Rates

Rate Commentary

• The Baltic VLGC Index broke $40/mt in July, the first time

since February 2016; rates reached over $47/mt or

~$30,000/day in October

• We have seen an average of over six liftings monthly

from both the U.S. and the Middle East during 2018

• Incremental VLGC fleet growth has been absorbed without

severely impacting 2018 utilization

Vessel Supply Remains Balanced

Recent VLGC Deliveries and Current Orderbook

VLGC Fleet Age Profile and Potential Scrapping

• 6 VLGCs have been scrapped in 2018

o 1 ship in 1Q18 (28 yo)

o 3 ships in 2Q18 (avg. age of 32 yo)

o 1 ship in 3Q18 (28 yo)

o 1 ship in 4Q18 (25 yo)

• 32 potential scrapping candidates, represent ~12% of

the current fleet

• IMO 2020 regulations likely to accelerate scrapping in

the near term as compliant fuel increases in price,

making less efficient ships uneconomical

• Orderbook-to-fleet stands at ~14%

• Increasing output from the U.S., Ichthys, and the

Middle East should be enough to absorb near-term

deliveries

• Asian buyers will increasingly look to diversify supply

away from Iran, likely having a positive effect on

utilization and minimizing the impact of new tonnage
