Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements including analyses and other information based on
forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable and statements relating to our future
prospects, developments and business strategies. Forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms
and phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,”
“will” and similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions. The forward-looking statements in this
presentation are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions,
including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records
and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when
made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are
difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish
these expectations, beliefs or projections.

Actual results could differ materially from expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements if one or more of
the underlying assumptions or expectations proves to be inaccurate or is not realized. Our actual future results may
be materially different from and worse than what we expect. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements by these
cautionary statements. We caution readers of this presentation not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. Any forward-looking statements contained herein are made only as of the date of this presentation, and
we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Strong Fundamentals in the LPG Freight Market

                                         • U.S. seaborne export growth driving global volumes
     Global NGL Volume
                                         • U.S. NGL production shows few signs of slowing down over long term
          Growth
                                         • Infrastructure expansions should enable U.S. LPG production and export growth

                                         • Demand should remain resilient as new PDH units that came on-stream ramp up production
     Asian LPG Demand                    • A wave of new chemical and PDH plants are planned and are under construction globally
                                         • LPG retail use continues to grow in India and rural China

                                         • Traditional AG-Japan benchmark less indicative of freight environment
Emerging Trade Routes                    • U.S. Gulf to Japan is increasingly important due to significant U.S. export volumes
                                         • U.S. trade flows to China have continued following COVID-related tariff waivers

Improving Fleet Environmental Performance1

Dorian LPG is a Leader for Lowering VLGC Emissions

•        2020 Fleet AER has tracked well below targeted trajectory values

•        Compliant with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) GHG Strategy

•        Signatory to the Global Maritime Forum’s Getting to Zero Coalition

•        April 2020 refinancing of $155.8mm is linked to AER performance, conforming to “Sustainability Linked Loan Principles”

    Note: Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI) is an IMO-mandated measurement of a vessels true carbon intensity based on fuel consumption data derived through the use of
    standardized onboard data collection systems (DCS),adjusted for the amount of cargo carried over the measurement period; Annual Efficiency Ratio (AER) is a similar measure, although less
    accurate, used by the Poseidon Principles to measure annual carbon emission per nautical mile sailed adjusted for a vessel’s deadweight tonnage

North American LPG Export Capacity Stands at ~74% Utilization
• 14.2 MTPA of export capacity was added in 2020, translating to ~25 incremental monthly cargoes

• Recent capacity increase should sustain continued export growth

• Lonestar NGL at Nederland added 6.9 MTPA of capacity or 12 monthly VLGC cargoes in December 2020

• Optimization at Altagas’ RIPET has added an additional quarterly cargo

• Enterprise’s 7.6 MTPA EHT expansion has been delayed and ME2 expansion remains uncertain

New Wave of China PDH Plants to Drive Asian LPG Demand
    Chinese LPG Demand Outlook Remains Favorable
•        China’s 4Q20 imports decreased by 2.2% Y/Y to 5.2 MTPA vs. 5.3 MTPA in 4Q19

•        2020 imports decreased by 4.7% Y/Y to 19.6 MTPA vs. 20.5 MTPA last year, due to effects of lockdowns

•        Imports are expected to increase in 2021 with seven new PDH plants coming online

•        PDH utilization averaged nearly 81% in December, down slightly from 85% in November

 Government Policies and Infrastructure Development to continue Boosting Consumer Adoption
• India achieved 80mm free LPG connections six months ahead of its March 2020 deadline

• Consumer LPG subsidies were extended in March in response to COVID-19 shutdowns

• Reduced refinery utilization from COVID-19 has decreased LPG yields and increased import demand

• India’s 4Q20 imports increased by 9.5% Y/Y to 4.3 MTPA vs. 4.0 MTPA in 4Q19

• 2020 imports increased by 12% to 16.3 MTPA from 14.5 MTPA last year, fueled by increased domestic cooking demand

• Proposed green tax on petrol and diesel vehicles could drive up demand for LPG for Autogas

• The nation is largely expected to become the worlds largest res/com LPG user by 2030

Canal Delays and Heavy Fleet Maintenance to Continue in 2021
Panama Canal Delays and Changes to Booking Transit should Continue to Delay Tonnage

• VLGC Panama Canal delays grew as high as two weeks during 4Q20 due to heavy traffic and COVID-related delays

• On December 31, 2020, the Canal Authority announced a new booking process that disallows prebooking slots for VLGCs

• The new booking system prioritizes container, LNG, and passenger vessels, pushing VLGCs to the back of the line

• Expect more vessels to route from U.S. to Asia via Cape of Good Hope to avoid the Canal, increasing ton miles

As many as 90 VLGCs Could be Survey Due in 2021
