1 — General Information

Hafnia Tankers Ltd. (the “Company”) is a private limited company incorporated on October 15, 2013 in the Republic of

the Marshall Islands.

The Company and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) provide seaborne transportation of petroleum products

worldwide.

The Company currently holds Class A Units representing approximately 64.9% of the outstanding membership interests

of the Company’s direct subsidiary Hafnia Tankers LLC, while the balance of Hafnia Tankers LLC’s outstanding

membership interests consists of exchangeable Class B and Class C Units held by existing investors representing an

interest of approximately 34.8% and 0.3%, respectively, which are presented as non-controlling interests in the

Company’s financial statements.

2 — Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and

2016 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial

Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Certain information and footnote

disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB (“IFRS”) for a complete set

of annual financial statements have been omitted, and therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial

statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended

December 31, 2016.

Accounting Policies

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in these condensed consolidated

financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the Group’s financial statements for the year ended December

31, 2016, except for the adoption of accounting policies required by IFRS standards effective for accounting periods

beginning after January 1, 2017. The new standards have not had any material effect on the Group’s financial

statements.

Accounting Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted

The IASB has issued new or revised accounting standards (IAS and IFRS) and interpretations (IFRICs) that are not

compulsory for the Group in the preparation of the financial statements for the current period. None of them are

expected to have a material impact on the financial reporting for the Group.

Goodwill has been allocated for impairment testing purposes to the following cash-generating units (CGUs), short-

range (“SR”), medium-range (“MR”) and long-range 1 (“LR1”). As of June 30, 2017 the value in use test for the SR,

MR and LR1 CGUs was greater than its carrying amount and thus no impairment losses have been recognized during

the period ended June 30, 2017.

Contract values for vessels under construction are related to newbuild contracts which were acquired as a result of the

merger between BTS Tanker Partners Limited and Hafnia Tankers LLC on December 31, 2013 (the “Combination”).

The value of the contracts is added to the cost of vessels under construction on a straight line until the time when the

vessels are delivered. The final vessel was delivered in the second quarter of 2017.

Time charters acquired are related to time charter contracts which were acquired as a result of the Combination. The

value of the contracts is amortized on a straight line over the remaining contract period. The amortization expense of

USD 405 for the period ended June 30, 2017 is recognized as charter hire. The final time charter contract acquired ran

until the second quarter of 2017.

Vessels are pledged to secure the bank loans of the Group.

In accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, the Company has determined its cash-generating units (CGUs) based

on the vessel classes, namely SR, MR and LR1. As of June 30, 2017, the fair value less cost to sell of the SR, MR and

LR1 vessels were less than their carrying amounts and accordingly, a value in use calculation was performed. The

significant assumptions applied in determining the value in use of the SR, MR and LR1 fleet are the future charter rates,

vessel operating expenses and the discount rate. The Company estimated the future cash flows of the SR, MR and LR1

CGUs based on a combination of the current time charter rates for the next three years and the most recent ten-year

historical average for one-year time charter rates for periods thereafter. The Company estimated the operating expenses

based on budgets agreed with third party technical managers for 2017 adjusted for an escalation factor. The future cash

flows were then discounted to their present value.

The value in use calculation was greater than the carrying amount for both SR, MR and LR1 vessels and as a result of

this testing, no impairment charge was recorded.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had nil vessels under construction. The final vessel was delivered in the second

quarter of 2017.

Summary of borrowing arrangements

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Group drew down USD 60,375 on the USD 360,000 credit facility to

finance newbuild vessels delivered during the period.

The interest rates on the drawn amounts are LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25% and are to be repaid in quarterly

installments with a balloon payment at the end of the seventh year.

The drawn amounts are secured by first priority mortgages on vessels.

The drawn amounts are subject to the following significant financial covenants:

• Working capital above zero

• A minimum liquidity above USD 10,000 and above 5% of total debt

• Equity above USD 100,000 and above 30% of the total assets

The Group was fully compliant with all loan covenants at June 30, 2017.

The Group is subject to a minimum security value clause under which the security value must at all times exceed a

given percentage of the aggregate outstanding amount of debt. The Group was fully compliant with this clause at June

30, 2017.

The following table summarizes the current contractual maturities of the Group’s bank loans and presents the total

principal amount based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.

11 — Cash Flow Hedging

As all of the Groups debt has variable interest rates, the Group is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates.

Therefore, in order to protect the Group from significant increases in interest rates, the Group has entered into several

interest rate caps with a strike of 3% against the three months Libor rate. The interest rate caps has a notional amount

of USD 300,000 (representing 50% of peak debt) with the last cap expiring in 2023.

The underlying risk of the interest rate cap is the three month LIBOR, which is identical to the hedged risk component

(i.e. the variable interest rate on the debt).

The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship was determined based on the policy to hedge up to 75% of the exposure at

the time the hedge was established, and on the fact that Management believe that there is some correlation between

freight rates and interest rates.

The Group does not consider the hedge relationship to include sources of ineffectiveness, as there is no difference in

interest rate benchmark, or credit risk between the interest rate cap and the debt, the nominal amount of the hedging

instrument represents 50% of the exposure, and hence there is no risk of over hedging, and the term of the hedging

instrument does not exceed the term of the loans.

The Group pays quarterly interests on the interest rate cap. The fair market value of the total hedging agreements as of

June 30, 2017 was a liability of USD 3,101. The fair market value of the hedging agreement is comprised of

discounted premiums, a liability of USD 6,644, and the value of the hedging instruments, USD 3,543.

12 — Fair Value Measurements

Except for the hedge agreements entered into in the second quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, no assets nor

liabilities are measured at fair value after initial recognition, and the carrying values of financial instruments

approximate their respective fair values. Therefore, no additional disclosure related to fair value measurement has been

provided in these financial statements.

13 — Subsequent Events

There have not been any significant events after the balance sheet date at June 30, 2017.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on August
