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

Non-oil substances now covered by

• Total MR vessel orderbook has fallen from a high of ~58% in 2008 of the then existing fleet to 7.9% of the worldwide fleet.

• Extremely limited capacity additions scheduled beyond 2017 due to limited availability of financing and would-be buyers exposure to weaker shipping segments.

• Worldwide MR fleet is expected to grow at an average of 3.5% per annum in 2016 and 2017 without giving effect to scrapping of older vessels and slippage of deliveries.

EXHIBIT I | NON-GAAP MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS

Adjusted EBITDA, which is not a recognized measurement under U.S. GAAP, is reconciled above to its nearest GAAP

equivalent. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, and , if

any, vessel impairment charge and non-cash stock compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is presented as we believe that it

provides investors with a means of evaluating and understanding how our management evaluates operating performance.

This non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures

prepared in accordance with U.S.GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP measure does not have a standardized meaning, and is

therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Daily time charter equivalent (“TCE”) is a standard 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

believe that our method of calculating TCE is consistent with industry standards and is determined by dividing voyage

revenues after deducting voyage expenses, including commissions by operating days for the relevant period. Voyage

expenses 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 per day (“Opex”) are our vessel operating expenses for a vessel, which consist primarily of crew

wages and related costs, insurance, lube oils, communications, spares and consumables, tonnage taxes as well as repairs

and maintenance, divided by the days in the applicable period.

We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of operating days during a period by the number of available days

during the same period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company’s efficiency in finding suitable

employment for its vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled

repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys and intermediate dry-dockings or vessel positioning.

Operating days are the number of available days in a period, less the aggregate number of days that our vessels were off-

hire or out of service due to any reason, including technical breakdowns and unforeseen circumstances. Available days are

the number of ownership days in a period, less the aggregate number of days that our vessels were off-hire due to scheduled

repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys and intermediate dry-dockings and the aggregate

number of days that we spent positioning our vessels during the respective period for such repairs, upgrades and surveys.

Ownership days are the total number of days in a period during which we owned each of the vessels in our fleet.
