Management Commentary

Mr. Ioannis Lazaridis, Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer of the Partnership's General Partner, commented:

"Having completed a very important transaction for the Partnership during the second quarter of 2012 with the issuance of the Class B Units, we are very pleased to have secured employment during the third quarter for five of our vessels at favorable day rates enhancing further our charter coverage for this year and next. We have extended our relationship with PEMEX with the employment of the M/T Miltiadis M II, and our Sponsor continues to provide medium term employment to our product tankers allowing us to potentially capitalize on a market recovery looking ahead. We are pleased to have earned profit sharing revenues for a second consecutive quarter, which demonstrates the value of our profit sharing arrangements.

Although market conditions remain soft, we remain positive on the fundamentals of the product tanker market, as the improving supply side and the expected tonne mile demand growth should continue to drive period demand for product tankers and positively affect the future outlook of our cash flows."

Mr Lazaridis concluded: "We remain committed to our $0.93 per unit annual distribution guidance going forward, and we will continue to enhance our financial flexibility to pursue growth opportunities and forge a pathway to distribution growth as the underlying tanker market recovers."
