Global Seaborne LPG Trade

11

Seaborne LPG trade grew by ~ 8-10% in 2012 driven by demand from emerging economies.

Total seaborne trade for 2013 is expected to increase by 16% from 2010 and come to 100.6mmt; it is

expected to rise by at least ~5% annually through 2016.

Asian imports rose by ~12% in 2012, contributing to 90% of the growth in LPG seaborne trade.

US LPG Trade

12

2012, was the first time the US LPG exports exceeded its imports since 1973; it is expected to exceed 5mmt in 2013 against 3.7mmt in 2012 and before reaching 7mmt in 2014.

The new era of shale gas boom in the US is a game changer. The USCG confirmed pressurized owners would be able to load Propane in the US. This could lead to the strategic development of several smaller export terminals in the US to supply Latin America and the Caribbean market which to a great extent have pressurized receiving terminals.

LPG Major Trades

13

The Middle East remained the single largest contributor to growth in total LPG exports in 2012, with

an increase of LPG supply for exports by 8%.

LPG in the US is cheaper than the biggest suppliers in the Middle East, which account for ~35mmt a

year of the estimated 85mtt global seaborne trade. With strong growth in US NGL production from

shale ahead, the export capacity in the US is expected to rise to 12mmt in 2015 from 5mmt now.

An overloaded orderbook in mainstream segments But not in the LPG space

* Includes all LPG Carriers size categories

15

LPG orderbook still remains smaller than other shipping segments with a limited fleet

growth of pressurized vessels for 2012 and a negative fleet growth from 2013 onwards.

StealthGas is in a position to take advantage of positive market dynamics.

Shipping companies listed in the US listed operating in different sectors such as gas, tankers and drybulk,

are trading well above net asset values. Although there may be a variety of reasons for that, we believe there

are no other US listed company operating in a sector that has better fundamentals than our LPG sector; and

yet our stock continues to trade far below our net asset value.
