Nordic American Tankers Limited (NYSE:NAT) - Shortfall of Middle East oil supply. Some observations.
Hamilton, Bermuda, September 16, 2019 We have assessed the situation following the attack on Saudi oil installations at the end of last week. About 50 % of Saudi oil production has been impacted. This is about 5-6 mill barrels a day which need to be sourced from elsewhere. This is more than 5 % of world oil consumption. An analyst of Arctic, a Norwegian based investment banking and securities firm, writes as follows this weekend:“This is a bullish turn for the tanker market - period. Forget talk of lower Middle East flows depressing tanker demand. We believe refinery purchasing managers now are thinking inventory building and security of supply. Oil will be harder to come by and will have to travel farther from US, Brazil and Russia and elsewhere. In such a scenario, the opportunity cost of being uncovered on transport is bound to rise, hence pushing rates higher and available tonnage lower.”There are many observers having a view on the matter at hand. A common denominator, which is also our experience, is that political uncertainty of this nature is normally good for the market. We believe that the short term impact will be positive – as the amount of transportation work – so called tonne- mile – can be expected to increase. The shortfall of oil exportation from the Middle East to the Far East can be expected to be taken up by exports from suppliers further away such the US, Brazil, the North Sea, West Africa and other locations. This is positive for our uniform suezmax fleet.In our group, we have experts who have been involved in the tanker industry and economics for several decades without claiming to know the “truth” in all respects.However, it remains a fact that what we have seen is a very important development that will probably affect our industry – as far as we can see – positively. Supply and demand are always decisive. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTSMatters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements.

Recent contracts for 3Q2019 loading confirm this, showing a clear strengthening trend for our vessels. We must remember that political unrest is often good for the tanker market. We now see increased oil exports from the US, which is a new trend.

GlobeNewswireNordic American Tankers Ltd (NYSE: NAT) - Comments on Scrubbers
The Company is steadfast on its decision that scrubbers are not a solution for NAT based upon a conservative financial policy. An increased number of ports now prohibit or impose strict requirements on the use of scrubbers, which purify emissions from large ships. The scrubber cleans the exhaust from vessels for Sulphur and emit impure water into the sea, and that is what the ports now will put an end to. Therefore, we still do not see that this new requirement is an issue for NAT.
