Overview
Nordic American Tankers Ltd.
$37,228
Founded in 1995, Nordic operates globally using only Suezmax tankers to
distribute oil to their clients. Being able to interchange assets sets them apart
from their competition.
Teekay Tankers Ltd.
$29,733
Formed by Teekay Corporation in 2007, they have grown as an industry
competitor from 980,000 DWT to 7,650,000 DWT capacity. Through time
charters, ship to ship services, spot market, and pooling arrangements, Teekay
Tankers generates revenue from a myriad of sources.
Gener8 Maritime Inc.
$25,245
Engaging in pooling arrangements and newbuilds of VLCCs, Gener8 Maritime
employs a unique strategy with 91% of their operations coming from the spot
market through pooling arrangements.
Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited
$25,940
Headquarted in Greece, Tsakos provides services to high quality oil companies
throughout the world. Relationship building through Tsakos Columbia
Shipmanagment and Tsakos Shipping provides more access to ships not owned

Overseas Shipholding Group Inc.
$34,470
United States company headquartered in New York which charters oil and
petroleum (LNG) on a global scale. A diversified ship fleet gives rise to
competitive advantage.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
The competitive landscape of the oil tanking industry includes
global corporations that operate in the spot and fixed charter
markets independent from multi-national oil companies. Their
fleets consist of multiple sized ships providing both refined and
crude products, and serve the world’s developed markets and
emerging economies.

SPOT VERSUS CHARTER MARKET
Spot Market : A volatile source of revenue that fluctuates
based on oil demand, supply, and industry capacity,
The time frame for a contract can last from a couple of days to
several weeks. As demand for oil increases, demand for tankers
increases to transport the products around the world.
This, in turn, drives TCE rates higher. As supply increases,
demand for tanker ships increases for storage purposes.
Frontline diversifies themselves among others by employing
59% of their ships within the spot market.
Time Charter Market: A steady stream of income from
charterers. This entails a nation, oil company, or other entity
signing an agreement to hire a vessel for a specified period of
time under a specific rate.
Under Frontline’s strategy, they employ 41% of their ships
through the fixed market.

DETERMINATES OF REVENUE:
Dirty vs Clean Cargo
The Baltic indices track daily charter rates that drive oil tanker revenue. These rates are determine by the prices commodity producers pay to
have their goods shipped by sea.
The Baltic Clean Index (BCIY:IND) displays the revenue intake from the shipment of refined oil products while the Baltic Dirty Index
(BDIY:IND) shows the revenue intake from the shipment of crude oil products.
Frontline hedges risk by balancing their ship fleet to handle both crude and refined products.

RELATION TO ECONOMIC
INDICATORS
Historical global data indicates that world GDP
and oil demand growth have a strong positive
correlation – with increased economic growth
there is an increased need to consume oil.
Spot market rates generally follow oil demand
growth. With World GDP increasing by 2.46%
from 2014 to 2015, Frontline has experienced
higher time charter equivalency rates in the spot
market. As Frontline’s fleet is 59% percent part
of the spot market, revenue is derived from the
improved rates.

Frontline’s investment in VLCC, Suezmax, and LR2 vessels position it to capture increasing refined and crude oil consumption de-
mands in emerging markets such as India, China, Brazil, and Africa. These markets’ expected demand growth is due to improve-
ments in motorization rates, refinery production, and technological development. Frontline’s routes also allow for a secure market
share in developed countries’ energy demand.

US EXPERIENCES HIGHEST
AUTOMOBILE SALES IN HISTORY
US Motor Vehicle Sales in 2015 reached an
all-time high of 17.39 million units sold
(5.8% increase from 2014) with truck
(56.7% market share) outselling cars
(43.3%).
Light truck sales have increased nearly 13%
over 2014. Looking ahead, forecasters such
as WardsAuto see 2016 motor vehicle sales
reaching another historic high.
Consumers are showing buying preferences
for less fuel efficient vehicles. With light
trucks being 27% less fuel efficient than
passenger cars, this indicates that depressed
national retail gas prices of approximately
$2.19 have encouraged consumers to be
more tolerant of less fuel efficient vehicles.

3.1 trillion miles in 2015”

NORTHERN US BRACES FOR
“EXCEPTIONALLY COLD WINTER”
With nearly 25% of Americans - predominately
residing in the Northeast - relying on heating oil to
warm their homes in the winter and the Farmer’s
Almanac predicting an “exceptionally cold” winter
(potentially reaching 40 degrees below zero in
February) for the Northern Plains, Great Lakes,
Ohio Valley, Middle Atlantic, Northeast, and New
England, predictions can be made that there may
be increase in the consumption of heating oil.
Forecasters predict that heating oil will hold steady
at near-historic low of 1.45USD/GAL over the
next twelves months, further encouraging
consumption.

OIL CAPTURES 96% OF GLOBAL
TRANSPORTATION ENERGY MARKET
94% of the projected growth in world transportation
energy consumption is seen in the non-OECD countries;
predominately in India, China, and Brazil.
China’s demand alone for oil is expected to increase by
2.7% a year. Currently, China is investing in stockpiles of
oil to meet future consumption needs with the expectation
that demand will soon outstrip the available supply.
World motorization rates have improved by 25% since last
year as the standard of living in developing countries rise
and encourage consumers purchase personal vehicles. This
is reflected in the growth of vehicle sales in the past year.

FRONTLINE
LONG HISTORY OF RETURNING VALUE TO SHAREHOLDERS
Highest Return Due to Efficient
Margins
The financials for Frontline fair well against their competitors.
From 2014 to 2015, the overall oil tanker industry has improved.
This comes from higher revenues year over year due to an oil
supply glut in 2014. This has increased every competitor's
margins down the line. Frontline has enjoyed this appreciation
well above their competitors, beating most in nearly every
category. This has contributed to low operating costs relative to
net revenues.
Hedging Risk with Diversifying
Contracts
By having a well balanced set of contracts, Frontline is able to
hedge its risk against volatility in the market. Frontline is able to
maintain profitability regardless of spot market fluctuations due to
consistent charter rate revenues. When spot markets improve in
the winter months, Frontline stands to gain from the increased
prices.

Projected TCE Rates are slated to fall based on company
guidance and the expansion in industry capacity.
Projected fleet growth will more than offset the decline in
industry TCE rates in the near term

25
Projected TCE Rates Below Historical Industry Averages With projected TCE rates below historical in-
dustry averages, our projections leave room for
error
The standard deviation for clean tankers is less
than crude transporters —Frontline will have a
total of 22 LR2 clean tankers on the market by
2017. With lower standard deviations and less
fluctuation in TCE rates these ships will garner
more stable rates
Though we do predict lower rates in the near
term, we foresee rates returning to long term
historical averages over time

  • 5. 5 Company TCE Average Revenue 2015 ($/Day) Overview Nordic American Tankers Ltd. $37,228 Founded in 1995, Nordic operates globally using only Suezmax tankers to distribute oil to their clients. Being able to interchange assets sets them apart from their competition. Teekay Tankers Ltd. $29,733 Formed by Teekay Corporation in 2007, they have grown as an industry competitor from 980,000 DWT to 7,650,000 DWT capacity. Through time charters, ship to ship services, spot market, and pooling arrangements, Teekay Tankers generates revenue from a myriad of sources. Gener8 Maritime Inc. $25,245 Engaging in pooling arrangements and newbuilds of VLCCs, Gener8 Maritime employs a unique strategy with 91% of their operations coming from the spot market through pooling arrangements. Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited $25,940 Headquarted in Greece, Tsakos provides services to high quality oil companies throughout the world. Relationship building through Tsakos Columbia Shipmanagment and Tsakos Shipping provides more access to ships not owned by the company. Overseas Shipholding Group Inc. $34,470 United States company headquartered in New York which charters oil and petroleum (LNG) on a global scale. A diversified ship fleet gives rise to competitive advantage. COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE The competitive landscape of the oil tanking industry includes global corporations that operate in the spot and fixed charter markets independent from multi-national oil companies. Their fleets consist of multiple sized ships providing both refined and crude products, and serve the world’s developed markets and emerging economies.

  • 6. 6 SPOT VERSUS CHARTER MARKET Spot Market : A volatile source of revenue that fluctuates based on oil demand, supply, and industry capacity, The time frame for a contract can last from a couple of days to several weeks. As demand for oil increases, demand for tankers increases to transport the products around the world. This, in turn, drives TCE rates higher. As supply increases, demand for tanker ships increases for storage purposes. Frontline diversifies themselves among others by employing 59% of their ships within the spot market. Time Charter Market: A steady stream of income from charterers. This entails a nation, oil company, or other entity signing an agreement to hire a vessel for a specified period of time under a specific rate. Under Frontline’s strategy, they employ 41% of their ships through the fixed market. FRO: SPOT TO FIXED FLEET DISTRIBUTION 2015 Sources for all content: FRO 20-F
  • 7. 7 DETERMINATES OF REVENUE: Dirty vs Clean Cargo The Baltic indices track daily charter rates that drive oil tanker revenue. These rates are determine by the prices commodity producers pay to have their goods shipped by sea. The Baltic Clean Index (BCIY:IND) displays the revenue intake from the shipment of refined oil products while the Baltic Dirty Index (BDIY:IND) shows the revenue intake from the shipment of crude oil products. Frontline hedges risk by balancing their ship fleet to handle both crude and refined products. Sources for all content: Lloyds Intelligence and EIA

Spot market rates generally follow oil demand growth. With World GDP increasing by 2.46% from 2014 to 2015, Frontline has experienced higher time charter equivalency rates in the spot market. As Frontline’s fleet is 59% percent part of the spot market, revenue is derived from the improved rates. Sources for all content: TNP 20-F

FORECASTED QUARTERLY GROWTH IN DEMAND Annual rGDP growth in the United States, China, and India indicate their need to increase consumption of crude oil. Worldwide, consumption rates of liquid fuels are expected to improve 1.14% per year to meet a growth rate of 3.3% per year. Petroleum products include transportation fuels, heating oil and electricity generation, asphalt and road oil, and feedstock for chemicals and plastics.

  • 11. 11 US EXPERIENCES HIGHEST AUTOMOBILE SALES IN HISTORY US Motor Vehicle Sales in 2015 reached an all-time high of 17.39 million units sold (5.8% increase from 2014) with truck (56.7% market share) outselling cars (43.3%). Light truck sales have increased nearly 13% over 2014. Looking ahead, forecasters such as WardsAuto see 2016 motor vehicle sales reaching another historic high. Consumers are showing buying preferences for less fuel efficient vehicles. With light trucks being 27% less fuel efficient than passenger cars, this indicates that depressed national retail gas prices of approximately $2.19 have encouraged consumers to be more tolerant of less fuel efficient vehicles. “US drivers set record of 3.1 trillion miles in 2015” -Department of Transportation “4% growth in motorization rate to 808 vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants” -International Organizations of Motor Vehicle Manufactures US VEHICLE SALES, 2015 FORECASTED US VEHICLE SALES Sources for all content: Auto Alliance

Forecasters predict that heating oil will hold steady at near-historic low of 1.45USD/GAL over the next twelves months, further encouraging consumption.

  • 13. 13 OIL CAPTURES 96% OF GLOBAL TRANSPORTATION ENERGY MARKET 94% of the projected growth in world transportation energy consumption is seen in the non-OECD countries; predominately in India, China, and Brazil. China’s demand alone for oil is expected to increase by 2.7% a year. Currently, China is investing in stockpiles of oil to meet future consumption needs with the expectation that demand will soon outstrip the available supply. World motorization rates have improved by 25% since last year as the standard of living in developing countries rise and encourage consumers purchase personal vehicles. This is reflected in the growth of vehicle sales in the past year.

  • 17. 17 FRONTLINE LONG HISTORY OF RETURNING VALUE TO SHAREHOLDERS Highest Return Due to Efficient Margins The financials for Frontline fair well against their competitors. From 2014 to 2015, the overall oil tanker industry has improved. This comes from higher revenues year over year due to an oil supply glut in 2014. This has increased every competitor's margins down the line. Frontline has enjoyed this appreciation well above their competitors, beating most in nearly every category. This has contributed to low operating costs relative to net revenues. Hedging Risk with Diversifying Contracts By having a well balanced set of contracts, Frontline is able to hedge its risk against volatility in the market. Frontline is able to maintain profitability regardless of spot market fluctuations due to consistent charter rate revenues. When spot markets improve in the winter months, Frontline stands to gain from the increased prices. SPOT TO FIXED FLEET COMPARISION Sources for all content: FRO, NAT, TNK, TNP 20-F and GNRT, OSG 10-K
