MARKET

Increasing trade volumes push vessel earnings higher, especially for larger chemical tankers

MARKETOUTLOOK

8

Chemical tanker earnings and time charter rates increased in Q3 2015 Biggest increases were in the larger chemical tanker sizes A number of longer haul trades have been firmer:

- Americas & Europe to Asia - US Gulf to Europe - Asia to the US Gulf - Middle East going East & West

Chinese chemical imports running well above 2014 levels

These developments are in line with forecast projections of rising long-haul trades and

strong growth in ton-mile demand, exceeding gains in chemical tanker fleet capacity

Chinese chemical imports show strong growth in 2015; supporting the shift in economic focus

MARKETOUTLOOK

9

Strong growth in China’s chemical industry is forecast to continue, supporting the shift towards a consumer led economy So far this year, chemical imports are up by 14% Highlights the diverging trend between the rising chemical sector (going in to light manufacturing, higher value consumer goods & fuel blending) and the sharp declines seen in the heavy industrial sectors, such as steel, iron ore and coal Main increases in Chinese chemical imports have been seen in p-Xylene, Methanol and Benzene; with Methanol requiring zinc coated, stainless steel or Interline 9001/ Marineline coated vessels

Chinese chemical imports have been consistently stronger year-on-year since February this year

Limited increases in chemical tanker supply at a time of strong ton-mile demand growth

MARKETOUTLOOK

10

The current orderbook is relatively low at only 12.1% of the fleet After accounting for scrapping and removals, forecast fleet growth is modest Overall growth is projected at only 3.3 million dwt by the end of 2017, equivalent to 2.7% CAGR Forecast increase in the larger chemical fleet is expected to be much lower than forecast growth in long-haul demand from the Middle East, the US and the Caribbean.

(1) EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. This non-GAAP measure is presented in this press release as the Company believes it provides investors with a means of evaluating and understanding how Navig8 Chemical Tankers Inc.’s management evaluates operating performance. The 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, the non-GAAP measure do not have standardized meanings, and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. (2) Time charter equivalent, or TCE revenue, a non-US GAAP measure, is vessel revenues less voyage expenses (including bunkers and port charges). TCE revenue is included herein because it is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company’s performance irrespective of changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters, and pool charters), and it provides useful information to investors and management. (3) Operating costs per day are routine operating expenses and comprise crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores lube oils, communication costs and technical management fees. * Less than 50,000
