<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Certain matters discussed herein may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.</div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. This report and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance, and are not intended to give any assurance as to future results. When used in this document, the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "target," "project," "likely," "may,"&#160;"could" and similar expressions, terms, or phrases may identify forward-looking statements.</div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">The forward-looking statements are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, our 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 which 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. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.</div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand in the tanker market, as a result of changes in the petroleum production levels set by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, and worldwide oil consumption and storage, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the market for our vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, vessel breakdowns and instances of off-hire, failure on the part of a seller to complete a sale of a vessel to us and other important factors described from time to time in the reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.</div>

The review for potential impairment indicators and projection of future cash flows related to the vessel are complex and requires us to make various estimates, including future freight rates and earnings from the vessel.&#160; All of these items have been historically volatile. We evaluate the recoverable amount as the undiscounted estimated cash flow, from the vessels over their remaining useful lives. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount of the vessel and less than the estimated fair market value, the vessel is deemed impaired. The carrying values of our vessels may not represent their fair market value at any point in time because the market prices of secondhand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in charter rates and the cost of newbuildings. Any impairment charges incurred as a result of declines in charter rates could negatively affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Acts of piracy could result in harm or danger to the crews that man our vessels. In addition, if piracy attacks occur in regions in which our vessels are deployed that insurer's characterized as "war risk" zones or by the Joint War Committee as "war and strikes" listed areas, premiums payable for such coverage could increase significantly and such insurance coverage may be more difficult to obtain. In addition, crew costs, including costs which may be incurred to the extent we employ onboard security guards, could increase in such circumstances. We may not be adequately insured to cover losses from these incidents, which could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, detention hijacking as a result of an act of piracy against our vessels, or an increase in cost, or unavailability of insurance for our vessels, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.</div>

Due to these factors, we cannot be certain that financing will be available if needed and to the extent required, on acceptable terms.&#160; In addition, these difficulties may adversely affect the financial institutions that provide us with our $430.0 million revolving credit facility, or the 2012 Credit Facility, which we refinanced and expanded to $500.0 million in December 2015, and may impair their ability to continue to perform under their financing obligations to us, which could negatively impact our ability to fund current and future obligations.&#160; As of the date of this annual report we have drawn down an aggregate of $330 million under the 2012 Credit Facility.</div>

These requirements include, but are not limited to, the U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990, or OPA, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (generally referred to as CERCLA), the U.S. Clean Water Act, the U.S. Clean Air Act, the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, European Union Regulations, the International Maritime Organization, or IMO, International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage of 1969 (as from time to time amended and generally referred to as CLC), the IMO International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships of 1973 (as from time to time amended and generally referred to as MARPOL), the IMO International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea of 1974 (as from time to time amended and generally referred to as SOLAS), the IMO International Convention on Load Lines of 1966 (as from time to time amended), the International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage (generally referred to as the Bunker Convention), the IMO's International Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and Pollution Prevention (generally referred to as the ISM Code), the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments Discharge (generally referred to as the BWM Convention), International Ship and Port Facility Security Code, and the U.S. Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (generally referred to as the MTSA). Compliance with such laws, regulations and standards, where applicable, may require installation of costly equipment or operational changes and may affect the resale value or useful lives of our vessels. We may also incur additional costs in order to comply with other existing and future regulatory obligations, including, but not limited to, costs relating to air emissions, including greenhouse gases, the management of ballast waters, maintenance and inspection, development and implementation of emergency procedures and insurance coverage or other financial assurance of our ability to address pollution incidents. These costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and our ability to pay dividends. A failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in administrative and civil penalties, criminal sanctions or the suspension or termination of our operations. Environmental laws often impose strict liability for remediation of spills and releases of oil and hazardous substances, which could subject us to liability without regard to whether we were negligent or at fault. Under OPA, for example, owners, operators and bareboat charterers are jointly and severally strictly liable for the discharge of oil within the 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone around the United States (unless the spill results solely from the act or omission of a third party, an act of God or an act of war). An oil spill could result in significant liability, including fines, penalties, criminal liability and remediation costs for natural resource damages under other international and U.S. federal, state and local laws, as well as third-party damages, including punitive damages, and could harm our reputation with current or potential charterers of our tankers. We are required to satisfy insurance and financial responsibility requirements for potential oil (including marine fuel) spills and other pollution incidents. Although we have arranged insurance to cover certain environmental risks, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be sufficient to cover all such risks or that any claims will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, and our ability to pay dividends.</div>

For example, on August 15, 2012, the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement ("BSEE") implemented a final drilling safety rule for offshore oil and gas operations that strengthens the requirements for safety equipment, well control systems, and blowout prevention practices.&#160; A new rule issued by the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management ("BOEM") that increased the limits of liability of damages for offshore facilities under OPA based on inflation took effect in January 2015.&#160; In April 2015, it was announced that new regulations are expected to be imposed in the United States regarding offshore oil and gas drilling. In December 2015, the BSEE announced a new pilot inspection program for offshore facilities.

These factors will affect the value of our vessels. Declining tanker values could affect our ability to raise cash by limiting our ability to refinance our vessels, thereby adversely impacting our liquidity, or result in a breach of our loan covenants, which could result in defaults under our 2012 Credit Facility. Due to the cyclical nature of the tanker market, if for any reason we sell vessels at a time when tanker prices have fallen, the sale may be at less than the vessel's carrying amount on our financial statements, with the result that we would also incur a loss and a reduction in earnings.

The U.S. sanctions and embargo laws and regulations vary in their application, as they do not all apply to the same covered persons or proscribe the same activities, and such sanctions and embargo laws and regulations may be amended or strengthened over time. With effect from July 1, 2010, the U.S. enacted the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions Accountability and Divestment Act, or CISADA, which expanded the scope of the Iran Sanctions Act. Among other things, CISADA expands the application of the prohibitions to companies, such as ours, and introduces limits on the ability of companies and persons to do business or trade with Iran when such activities relate to the investment, supply or export of refined petroleum or petroleum products. In addition, on May 1, 2012, President Obama signed Executive Order 13608 which prohibits foreign persons from violating or attempting to violate, or causing a violation of any sanctions in effect against Iran or facilitating any deceptive transactions for or on behalf of any person subject to U.S. sanctions. Any persons found to be in violation of Executive Order 13608 will be deemed a foreign sanctions evader and will be banned from all contacts with the United States, including conducting business in U.S. dollars. Also in 2012, President Obama signed into law the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, or the Iran Threat Reduction Act, which created new sanctions and strengthened existing sanctions. Among other things, the Iran Threat Reduction Act intensifies existing sanctions regarding the provision of goods, services, infrastructure or technology to Iran's petroleum or petrochemical sector. The Iran Threat Reduction Act also includes a provision requiring the President of the United States to impose five or more sanctions from Section 6(a) of the Iran Sanctions Act, as amended, on a person the President determines is a controlling beneficial owner of, or otherwise owns, operates, or controls or insures a vessel that was used to transport crude oil from Iran to another country and (1) if the person is a controlling beneficial owner of the vessel, the person had actual knowledge the vessel was so used or (2) if the person otherwise owns, operates, or controls, or insures the vessel, the person knew or should have known the vessel was so used. Such a person could be subject to a variety of sanctions, including exclusion from U.S. capital markets, exclusion from financial transactions subject to U.S. jurisdiction, and exclusion of that person's vessels from U.S. ports for up to two years.</div>

On January 20, 2014, the U.S. and E.U. indicated that they would begin implementing the temporary relief measures provided for under the JPOA. These measures include, among other things, the suspension of certain sanctions on the Iranian petrochemicals, precious metals, and automotive industries from January 20, 2014 until July 20, 2014. The U.S. initially extended the JPOA until November 24, 2014, and it has since extended it until June 30, 2015.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">On July 14, 2015, the P5+1 and the EU announced that they reached a landmark agreement with Iran titled the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action Regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran's Nuclear Program (the "JCPOA"), which is intended to significantly restrict Iran's ability to develop and produce nuclear weapons for 10 years while simultaneously easing sanctions directed toward non-U.S. persons for conduct involving Iran, but taking place outside of U.S. jurisdiction and does not involve U.S. persons.&#160; On January 16, 2016 ("Implementation Day"), the United States joined the EU and the UN in lifting a significant number of their nuclear-related sanctions on Iran following an announcement by the International Atomic Energy Agency ("IAEA") that Iran had satisfied its respective obligations under the JCPOA.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">U.S. sanctions prohibiting certain conduct that is now permitted under the JCPOA have not actually been repealed or permanently terminated at this time.&#160; Rather, the U.S. government has implemented changes to the sanctions regime by: (1) issuing waivers of certain statutory sanctions provisions; (2) committing to refrain from exercising certain discretionary sanctions authorities; (3) removing certain individuals and entities from OFAC's sanctions lists; and (4) revoking certain Executive Orders and specified sections of Executive Orders.&#160; These sanctions will not be permanently "lifted" until the earlier of "Transition Day," set to occur on October 20, 2023, or upon a report from the IAEA stating that all nuclear material in Iran is being used for peaceful activities.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Although it is our intention to comply with the provisions of the JPOA, there can be no assurance that we will be in compliance in the future as such regulations and U.S. Sanctions may be amended over time, and the U.S. retains the authority to revoke the aforementioned relief if Iran fails to meet its commitments under the JPOA.</div>

If we determine that such sanctions require us to terminate existing contracts or if we are found to be in violation of such applicable sanctions, our results of operations may be adversely affected or we may suffer reputational harm.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Although we believe that we have been in compliance with all sanctions and embargo laws and regulations that apply to us, and intend to maintain such compliance, there can be no assurance that we will be in compliance in the future, particularly as the scope of certain laws may be unclear and may be subject to changing interpretations. Any such violation could result in fines, penalties or other sanctions that could severely impact our ability to access U.S. capital markets and conduct our business, and could result in some investors deciding, or being required, to divest their interest, or not to invest, in us. Additionally, some investors may decide not to invest in our company simply because we do business with companies that do business in sanctioned countries. The determination by these investors not to invest in, or to divest from, our common stock may adversely affect the price at which our common stock trades. Moreover, our charterers may violate applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations as a result of actions that do not involve us or our vessels, and those violations could in turn negatively affect our reputation. In addition, our reputation and the market for our securities may be adversely affected if we engage in certain other activities, such as entering into charters with individuals or entities in countries subject to U.S. sanctions and embargo laws that are not controlled by the governments of those countries, or engaging in operations associated with those countries pursuant to contracts with third parties that are unrelated to those countries or entities controlled by their governments. Investor perception of the value of our common stock may be adversely affected by the consequences of war, the effects of terrorism, civil unrest and governmental actions in these and surrounding countries.</div>

Such agreements subject us to counterparty risks. The ability of each of our counterparties to perform its obligations under a contract with us will depend on a number of factors that are beyond our control and may include, among other things, general economic conditions, the condition of the maritime and offshore industries, the overall financial condition of the counterparty, charter rates received for specific types of vessels, and various expenses. For example, the combination of a reduction of cash flow resulting from declines in world trade, a reduction in borrowing bases under reserve-based credit facilities and the lack of availability of debt or equity financing may result in a significant reduction in the ability of our charterers to make charter payments to us. In addition, in depressed market conditions, our charterers and customers may no longer need a vessel that is currently under charter or contract or may be able to obtain a comparable vessel at lower rates. As a result, charterers and customers may seek to renegotiate the terms of their existing charter parties or avoid their obligations under those contracts. Should a counterparty fail to honor its obligations under agreements with us, we could sustain significant losses which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, 50% of the gross shipping income of a vessel owning or chartering corporation, such as ourselves, attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the United States will be characterized as U.S. source shipping income and such income is subject to a 4% United States federal income tax, without the benefit of deductions, unless that corporation is entitled to a special tax exemption under the Code which applies to income derived by certain non-United States corporations from the international operations of ships. We believe that we currently qualify for this statutory tax exemption and we have taken, and will continue to take, this position on the Company's United States federal income tax returns. However, there are several risks that could cause us to become subject to tax on our United States source shipping income. Due to the factual nature of the issues involved, we can give no assurances as to our tax-exempt status for our future taxable years.</div>

</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">A foreign corporation is treated as a "passive foreign investment company," or PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes, if either (1) at least 75% of its gross income for any taxable year consists of certain types of "passive income" or (2) at least 50% of the average value of the corporation's assets produce or are held for the production of those types of passive income. For purposes of these tests, cash is treated as an asset that produces passive income, and passive income includes dividends, interest, and gains from the sale or exchange of investment property and rents and royalties other than rents and royalties which are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business. Income derived from the performance of services does not constitute passive income. United States shareholders of a PFIC may be subject to a disadvantageous United States federal income tax regime with respect to the distributions they receive from the PFIC and the gain, if any, they derive from the sale or other disposition of their shares in the PFIC.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">We believe that we ceased to be a PFIC beginning with the 2005 taxable year. Based on our current and expected future operations, we believe that we are not currently a PFIC, nor do we anticipate that we will become a PFIC for any future taxable year. As a result, non-corporate United States shareholders should be eligible to treat dividends paid by us in 2006 and thereafter as "qualified dividend income" which is subject to preferential tax rates.</div>

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">We expect to derive more than 25% of our income each year from our spot chartering or time chartering activities. We also expect that more than 50% of the value of our assets will be devoted to our spot chartering and time chartering. Therefore, since we believe that such income will be treated for relevant United States federal income tax purposes as services income, rather than rental income, we have taken, and will continue to take, the position that such income should not constitute passive income, and that the assets that we own and operate in connection with the production of that income, in particular our vessels, should not constitute assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income for purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC in any taxable year.</div>

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">There is, however, no direct legal authority under the PFIC rules addressing our method of operation. We believe there is substantial legal authority supporting our position consisting of case law and United States Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, pronouncements concerning the characterization of income derived from time charters and voyage charters as services income rather than rental income for other tax purposes. However, there is also authority which characterizes time charter income as rental income rather than services income for other tax purposes.&#160; Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court of law will accept our position, and there is a risk that the IRS or a court of law could determine that we are a PFIC. Moreover, no assurance can be given that we would not constitute a PFIC for any future taxable year if there were to be changes in the nature and extent of our operations.</div>

Under the PFIC rules, unless those United States shareholders made or make an election available under the Code (which election could itself have adverse consequences for such United States shareholders), such United States shareholders would be subject to United States federal income tax at the then highest income tax rates on ordinary income plus interest upon excess distributions (i.e., distributions received in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or the United States shareholder's holding period for our common shares) and upon any gain from the disposition of our common shares, as if the excess distribution or gain had been recognized ratably over the United States shareholder's holding period of our common shares.

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">International seaborne oil and petroleum products transportation services are mainly provided by two types of operators: major oil company captive fleets (both private and state-owned) and independent shipowner fleets.&#160; Both types of operators transport oil under short-term contracts (including single-voyage "spot charters") and long-term time charters with oil companies, oil traders, large oil consumers, petroleum product producers and government agencies.&#160; The oil companies own, or control through long-term time charters, approximately one third of the current world tanker capacity, while independent companies own or control the balance of the fleet.&#160; The oil companies use their fleets not only to transport their own oil, but also to transport oil for third-party charterers in direct competition with independent owners and operators in the tanker charter market.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">The oil transportation industry has historically been subject to regulation by national authorities and through international conventions.&#160; Over recent years, however, an environmental protection regime has evolved which has a significant impact on the operations of participants in the industry in the form of increasingly more stringent inspection requirements, closer monitoring of pollution-related events, and generally higher costs and potential liabilities for the owners and operators of tankers.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">In order to benefit from economies of scale, tanker charterers will typically charter the largest possible vessel to transport oil or products, consistent with port and canal dimensional restrictions and optimal cargo lot sizes.&#160; A tanker's carrying capacity is measured in deadweight tons, or dwt, which is the amount of crude oil measured in metric tons that the vessel is capable of loading.&#160; ULCCs and VLCCs typically transport crude oil in long-haul trades, such as from the Arabian Gulf to Rotterdam via the Cape of Good Hope.&#160; Suezmax tankers also engage in long-haul crude oil trades as well as in medium-haul crude oil trades, such as from the Mediterranean and Arabian Gulf towards the Far East, i.e. China, India and other emerging economies in Asia that absorb the shortfall from the traditional routes, from&#160; West Africa to the East Coast of the United States used to represent. Aframax-size vessels generally engage in both medium-and short-haul trades of less than 1,500 miles and carry crude oil or petroleum products.&#160; Smaller tankers mostly transport petroleum products in short-haul to medium-haul trades.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">The tanker market continued on an upward trend starting from 2014 last year, with earnings going from around cash break-even levels in 2014 to end as one of the strongest yielding years on record in 2015. Continued low fleet growth combined with strong oil consumption growth were the key drivers. Demand was furthermore strengthened by stock building as the oil market oversupply continued, which also caused significant port delays and ullage issues as supporting factors for the market balance.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Data from Fearnley show Suezmax earnings jumped 67% in 2015 as compared to 2014 to an average of $45,800/day, following up on the 79% improvement experienced in 2014 as compared to 2013. VLCC earnings ended by comparison at $62,500/day, meaning the differential between the segments normalized, after Suezmaxes the previous years had earned about the same as the VLCCs.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Overall tanker fleet growth ended at 3.1%, in 2015, up from 1.9% in 2014 and 2.4% in 2013, respectively. The 2015 fleet growth percentage was however inflated by high fleet growth in the smaller product tanker segments, which have limited direct impact on the Suezmax market. The Suezmax segment had a low 1.2% fleet growth while the bigger and highly correlated VLCC segment had a 2.7% fleet growth.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">The Suezmax segment took delivery of an average 5.2 newbuildings per month at the peak of newbuilding deliveries in first half of 2012. The following year this declined to 2.5 newbuilding delivered per month while since second half of 2013 the number has been a stable and very low 0.5 newbuilding delivery on average per month. With the exception of the Panamax/LR1 segment, there have been no other tanker segments experiencing lower fleet growth the past few years. A significant part of the explanation for this is the financial distress experienced at China's biggest privately owned yard, Jiangsu Rongsheng Shipbuilding, in 2013. The yard had more than 50% of the worldwide Suezmax orderbook at the time. The low fleet growth in the Suezmax segment has also been caused by extensive delays at the Atlantico Sul shipyard in Brazil.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Measured in net supply, the Suezmax segment took delivery of 9 newbuildings last year, of which 6 were delivered during the first half of 2015. As earnings rallied to very strong levels there were few incentives to sell vessels for demolition, hence no vessels were scrapped, and by the end of 2015 the Suezmax fleet consisted of 451 vessels, excluding shuttle tankers. By comparison, 8 vessels were delivered and 8 were scrapped during 2014. At the previous peak for newbuilding deliveries in 2012, net supply counted as many as 40 vessels, as 45 newbuildings were delivered and 5 vessels were scrapped. The VLCC segment meanwhile saw the addition of 21 newbuildings last year while 1 vessel was scrapped, leaving net supply at 20 vessels and a fleet size by the end of 2015 counting 651 vessels. Net supply was by comparison 16 VLCC vessels in 2014 while at its recent peak net supply counted as many as 59 vessels in 2011.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">The strengthening tanker market was furthermore driven by strong demand. Overall tanker ton-miles grew 3.4% which may be compared with an average of 2.3% since 2010. Volume growth was 2.9% while the average sailing distance for the tanker fleet grew 0.5%. The ton-mile growth was&#160;particularly driven by a 6.3% growth for VLCC ton-miles as volumes traded on these vessels grew by 5.1% and the average distance travelled grew by 1.2%. While the Suezmaxes had outperformed the VLCCs in ton-miles three out of the previous four years, the Suezmax ton-miles underperformed in 2015, growing a moderate 0.7%. Volume growth was a strong 6.7%, however the average sailing distance was down a huge -5.7% as fewer cargo liftings on Suezmaxes from West Africa to Asia in particular caused the latter. Ton-miles on that particular route were down -14.6% as compared to 2014, while a -22.0% decline in Suezmax trading from the Middle East to Europe also capped the overall result.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">On the positive side, the West Africa to Europe Suezmax trade, a trade that now accounts for 15.3% of all Suezmax ton-miles versus 6.7% five years ago, grew another 4.3% and continued thereby an uptrend that accelerated from 2011 when European refineries increasingly experienced short fall in crude oil supply from Libya and Iran. Meanwhile, the West Africa to the U.S. Suezmax trade rebounded with a 19.4% ton-mile growth last year, to account 2.6% of overall Suezmax ton-miles. Prior to the U.S shale oil boom, this trade accounted for nearly 15% of the Suezmax ton-miles by comparison. The most important support to the overall result came from a 58% growth in Suezmax trading from Latin- and South-America to Asia however, mostly with fuel oil from the Caribbean. The latter has been a new tonnage intensive trade, due to its long sailing distance, developing over the past five years where Suezmaxes, who contrary to most VLCCs, have taken the advantage of having the heating coils needed to take heavy fuel oils. This trade accounted for 10% of the total Suezmax ton-miles.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Other factors that supported tanker demand through 2015 that resulted from oil market contango and constratined storage capacity, were floating storage, an increase in waiting days due to ullage issues and a trend of more part-discharges as onshore storage capacity has been increasingly constrained. "Semi-storage" can also be used as a term as the charterers have chosen the long routes, like going around Cape Good Hope rather than through the Suez Canal. </div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Asset values experienced a mixed development last year as second hand prices strengthened while newbuilding prices weakened. Ample available yard capacity compared with slow contracting interest from mostly depressed shipping and offshore segments caused the downward pressure for newbuilding prices. The latter also capped the upside of second hand prices, which were low compared with market earnings in a historic perspective. Funding issues and several fleets out for sale through 2015 may be other explanations to why asset values underperformed earnings. According to data from Fearnley, 5 year old Suezmax was valued USDm 60 by the end of 2015, 13.2% higher than a year earlier. Newbuilding prices were on the other hand down -1.5% to USDm64.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Fearnley forecast that earnings will weaken from last year's extraordinary levels to around longer-term averages in 2016. First half of the year is expected to be stronger than second half as fleet growth accelerates only gradually throughout the year. Meanwhile, the tanker market is expected to see continued support from an oversupplied oil market through first half of the year, before the oil market may balance better in second half of the year. The latter could include recovering oil prices, the loss of the forward market contango and thereby loss of the incremental stock building volumes for the tanker market. There is however great uncertainty linked to the timing of a rebalanced oil market and a prolonged oversupply would mean continued support to tanker demand. A prolonged oil market oversupply could also trigger an increase in floating storage as remaining onshore storage capacity is believed to be limited. Fearnley therefore consider risk to be on the upside of its forecast for 2016.</div>

Five year old VLCCs declined in value by 0.8% from an average of $79.8 million in 4Q2015 to $79.1 million in 1Q2016. Prices declined as a result of a fewer buyers for secondhand vessels, and a decline in newbuilding prices from the shipyards.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">IMO has negotiated international conventions that impose liability for pollution in international waters and the territorial waters of the signatory nations to such conventions. For example, many countries have ratified and follow the liability plan adopted by the IMO and set out in the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage of 1969, CLC, as amended by different Protocol in 1976, 1984, and 1992, and amended in 2000. Under the CLC and depending on whether the country in which the damage results is a party to the 1992 Protocol to the CLC, a vessel's registered owner is strictly liable for pollution damage caused in the territorial waters of a contracting state by discharge of persistent oil, subject to certain exceptions. The 1992 Protocol changed certain limits on liability, expressed using the International Monetary Fund currency unit of Special Drawing Rights. The limits on liability have since been amended so that the compensation limits on liability were raised. The right to limit liability is forfeited under the CLC where the spill is caused by the ship owner's actual fault and under the 1992 Protocol where the spill is caused by the ship owner's intentional or reckless act or omission where the ship owner knew pollution damage would probably result.&#160; The CLC requires ships covered by it to maintain insurance covering the liability of the owner in a sum equivalent to an owner's liability for a single incident. We believe that our protection and indemnity insurance will cover the liability under the plan adopted by the IMO.</div>

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">The IMO adopted the International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, or the Bunker Convention, to impose strict liability on ship owners for pollution damage in jurisdictional waters of ratifying states caused by discharges of bunker fuel. The Bunker Convention requires registered owners of ships over 1,000 gross tons to maintain insurance for pollution damage in an amount equal to the limits of liability under the applicable national or international limitation regime (but not exceeding the amount calculated in accordance with the Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims of 1976, as amended). With respect to non-ratifying states, liability for spills or releases of oil carried as fuel in ship's bunkers typically is determined by the national or other domestic laws in the jurisdiction where the events or damages occur.</div>

</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">In addition, the IMO adopted an International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, or the BWM Convention, in February 2004. The BWM Convention's implementing regulations call for a phased introduction of mandatory ballast water exchange requirements to be replaced in time with mandatory concentration limits. The BWM Convention will not become effective until 12 months after it has been adopted by 30 states, the combined merchant fleets of which represent not less than 35% of the gross tonnage of the world's merchant shipping.&#160; As of early March 2016, 48 states had adopted the BWM convention, approaching to the 35% threshold.&#160; Notwithstanding the foregoing, the BWM convention has not yet been ratified. Proposals regarding implementation have recently been submitted to the IMO, but we cannot predict the ultimate timing for ratification.&#160; Many of the implementation dates originally written in the BWM Convention have already passed, so that once the BWM Convention enters into force, the period for installation of mandatory ballast water exchange requirements would be extremely short, with several thousand ships a year needing to install ballast water management systems (BWMS).&#160; For this reason, on December 4, 2013, the IMO Assembly passed a resolution revising the application dates of BWM Convention so that they are triggered by the entry into force date and not the adoption date in the BWM Convention.&#160; This in effect makes all vessels constructed before the entry into force date 'existing' vessels, and allows for the installation of a BWMS on such vessels at the first renewal survey following entry into force of the convention. Furthermore, in October 2014 the MEPC met and adopted additional resolutions concerning the BWM Convention's implementation. If mid-ocean ballast exchange or ballast water treatment requirements become mandatory, the cost of compliance could increase for ocean carriers and the costs of ballast water treatments may be material. However, many countries already regulate the discharge of ballast water carried by vessels from country to country to prevent the introduction of invasive and harmful species via such discharges. The United States for example, requires vessels entering its waters from another country to conduct mid-ocean ballast exchange, or undertake some alternate measure, and to comply with certain reporting requirements. Although we do not believe that the costs of compliance with a mandatory mid-ocean ballast exchange would be material, it is difficult to predict the overall impact of such a requirement on our operations.</div>

</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Currently, the emissions of greenhouse gases from international shipping are not subject to the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which entered into force in 2005 and pursuant to which adopting countries have been required to implement national programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The 2015 United Nations Convention on Climate Change Conference in Paris did not result in an agreement that directly limited greenhouse gas emissions from ships.</div>

</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">As of January 1, 2013, all ships must comply with mandatory requirements adopted by the MEPC in July 2011 relating to greenhouse gas emissions.&#160; Currently operating ships are now required to develop SEEMPs, and minimum energy efficiency levels per capacity mile will apply to new ships. These requirements could cause us to incur additional compliance costs. The IMO is planning to implement market-based mechanisms to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships at an upcoming MEPC session. In April 2015, a regulation was adopted requiring that large ships (over 5,000 gross tons) calling at European Union, EU, ports from January 2018 collect and publish data on carbon dioxide emissions and other information. In the United States, the EPA has issued a finding that greenhouse gases endanger the public health and safety and has adopted regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions from certain mobile sources and large stationary sources. The EPA enforces both the CAA and the international standards found in Annex VI of MARPOL concerning marine diesel engines, their emissions, and the sulfur content in marine fuel. Any passage of climate control legislation or other regulatory initiatives by the IMO, European Union, the U.S. or other countries where we operate, or any treaty adopted at the international level to succeed the Kyoto Protocol, that restrict emissions of greenhouse gases from marine vessels, could require us to make significant financial expenditures, including capital expenditures to upgrade our vessels, which we cannot predict with certainty at this time.</div>

The thirteen P&amp;I Associations that comprise the International Group insure approximately 90% of the world's commercial tonnage and have entered into a pooling agreement to reinsure each association's liabilities. Each P&amp;I Association has capped its exposure to this pooling agreement at $7.5 billion. As a member of a P&amp;I Association, which is a member of the International Group, we are subject to calls payable to the associations based on its claim records as well as the claim records of all other members of the individual associations, and members of the pool of P&amp;I Associations comprising the International Group.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Historically, oil trade and, therefore, charter rates increased in the winter months and eased in the summer months as demand for oil in the Northern Hemisphere rose in colder weather and fell in warmer weather. The tanker industry, in general, has become less dependent on the seasonal transport of heating oil than a decade ago as new uses for oil and oil products have developed, spreading consumption more evenly over the year. This is most apparent from the higher seasonal demand during the summer months due to energy requirements for air conditioning and motor vehicles.</div>

Net voyage revenues divided by the number of days on the charter provides the Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) Rate. Net voyage revenues and TCE rates are widely used by investors and analysts in the tanker shipping industry for comparing the financial performance of companies and for preparing industry averages. We believe that our method of calculating net voyage revenue is consistent with industry standards. The table below reconciles our net voyage revenues to voyage revenues.</div>

("NAO") increased to 26.7% due to NAO's share repurchase program and the Company's purchase of an additional 1,521,300 shares in NAO on November 12, 2015.&#160; Based on the significance of the Company's ownership interest and potential future increase in ownership interest, through NAO's share repurchase program, the Company determined it has the ability to exercise significant influence over NAO and therefore, changed its method of accounting for the investment in NAO from an available-for-sale security to an equity method investment. The change in accounting method has been retrospectively applied to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, resulting in an increase of $0.4 million and $7.2 million to Net Loss and Other Comprehensive Loss, respectively, and increases to both the Investment in Nordic American Offshore Ltd and total Shareholders' Equity of $6.8 million.</div>

("NAO") increased to 26.7% due to NAO's share repurchase program and the Company's purchase of an additional 1,521,300 shares in NAO on November 12, 2015.&#160; Based on the significance of the Company's ownership interest and potential future increase in ownership interest, through NAO's share repurchase program, the Company determined it has the ability to exercise significant influence over NAO and therefore, changed its method of accounting for the investment in NAO from an available-for-sale security to an equity method investment. The change in accounting method has been retrospectively applied to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, resulting in an increase of $0.4 million and $7.2 million to Net Loss and Other Comprehensive Loss, respectively, and increases to both the Investment in Nordic American Offshore Ltd and total Shareholders' Equity of $6.8 million.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: left">* On December 17, 2015, the Company announced that we had agreed to extend and refinance the 2012 Credit Facility up to end 2020, with an increase in the facility from $430 million to $500 million. As the extension was taken into effect in January 2016 it is not included in the table above. Under the new facility, estimated contractual obligations for interest payments and commitment fees over the new terms of indebtedness outstanding of December 31, 2015 would have been $40.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively.</div>

<div>The disclosed contractual obligations are based on estimates as of December 31, 2015. There may be uncertainties on the future obligations related to interest and commitment fees, as the LIBOR rate and the drawn amount may fluctuate.</div>

The impact of recognizing voyage expenses ratably over the length of each voyage is not materially different on a quarterly and annual basis from a method of recognizing such costs when incurred. Probable losses on voyages are provided for in full at the time such losses can be estimated. Based on the terms of the customer agreement, a voyage is deemed to commence upon the completion of discharge of the vessel's previous cargo and is deemed to end upon the completion of discharge of the current cargo. However, we do not recognize revenue if a charter has not been contractually committed to by a customer and the Company, even if the vessel has discharged its prior cargo and is sailing to the anticipated load port on its next voyage.</div>

Financing costs incurred during the construction period of the vessels are also capitalized and included into each vessel's cost based on the weighted average method. Certain subsequent expenditures for conversions and major improvements are also capitalized if it is determined that they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessel. Depreciation is calculated based on cost less estimated residual value, and is provided over the estimated useful life of the related assets using the straight-line method. The estimated useful life of a vessel is 25 years from the date the vessel is delivered from the shipyard. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.</div>

Drydocking costs include a variety of costs incurred while vessels are placed within drydock, including expenses related to the in dock preparation and port expenses at the drydock shipyard, general shipyard expenses, expenses related to hull, external surfaces and decks, expenses related to machinery and engines of the vessel, as well as expenses related to the testing and correction of findings related to safety equipment on board.&#160; Consistent with prior periods, the Company includes in capitalized drydocking those costs incurred as part of the drydock to meet classification and regulatory requirements. The Company expenses costs related to routine repairs and maintenance performed during drydocking, and for annual class survey costs. Ballast tank improvements are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of eight years. The capitalized and unamortized drydocking costs are included in the book value of the vessels. Amortization expense of the drydocking costs is included in depreciation expense.</div>

Historically, both charter rates and vessel values tend to be cyclical. Our vessels are evaluated for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a vessel may not be recoverable. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the vessel and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the vessel, the vessel is deemed impaired. Impairment charges may be limited to each individual vessel. There was no impairment on vessels for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 or 2013.&#160; The amount of the impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the </font>estimated fair value <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000">of the vessel.

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">In developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flows, we make assumptions and estimates about the vessels' future performance, with the significant assumptions being related to charter rates, fleet utilization, operating expenses, capital expenditures, residual value and the estimated remaining useful life of each vessel. The assumptions used to develop estimates of future undiscounted cash flows are based on historical trends as well as future expectations. The estimated net operating cash flows are determined by considering an estimated daily time charter equivalent for the remaining operating days. We estimate the daily time charter equivalent for the remaining operating days utilizing fifteen year historical average spot market rates for similar vessels over the remaining estimated life of the vessel, assumed to be 25 years from the delivery of the vessel from the shipyard, net of brokerage commissions, expected outflows for vessels' maintenance and vessel operating expenses (including planned drydocking expenditures). The salvage value used in the impairment test is estimated to be $9.7 million per vessel. If our estimate of undiscounted future cash flows for any vessel is lower than the vessel's carrying value, the carrying value is written down, by recording a charge to operations, to the vessel's fair market value if the fair market value is lower than the vessel's carrying value. Fair market value is calculated based on estimated discounted operating cashflow. Although we believe that the assumptions used to evaluate potential impairment are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are highly subjective.</div>

An amount of $7.2 million was payable to the seller, a company controlled by our President and CEO, for additional assets which we sold during the first quarter of 2013. The share component of the purchase price, 1,910,112 common shares purchased at $9.50 per share based on the trading price on the acquisition date, was subject to a one-year lock-up, while the cash component was primarily used by the seller to pay taxes associated with this transaction. In addition to gaining full direct control of Scandic's operations, we were no longer obligated to maintain Scandic's ownership of the Company's common shares at 2%. The Company shares owned by Scandic were not part of the transaction and remained with the seller. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method.</div>

Although there is no legal authority directly on point, and we are not relying upon an opinion of counsel on this issue, our belief is based principally on the position that, for purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC, the gross income we derive or are deemed to derive from our time chartering and voyage chartering activities should constitute services income, rather than rental income. Correspondingly, such income should not constitute passive income, and the assets that we own and operate or are deemed to own and operate in connection with the production of such income, in particular, the vessels, should not constitute passive assets for purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC. We believe there is substantial legal authority supporting our position consisting of case law and Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, pronouncements concerning the characterization of income derived from time charters and voyage charters as services income for other tax purposes. However, we note that there is also authority which characterizes time charter income as rental income rather than services income for other tax purposes. In the absence of any legal authority specifically relating to the statutory provisions governing PFICs, the IRS or a court could disagree with our position. In addition, although we intend to conduct our affairs in a manner to avoid being classified as a PFIC, we cannot assure you that the nature of our operations will not change in the future.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">There are four significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the NYSE standards applicable to listed U.S. companies. The NYSE requires that non-management directors meet regularly in executive sessions without management. The NYSE also requires that all independent directors meet in an executive session at least once a year. As permitted under Bermuda law and our bye-laws, our non-management directors do not regularly hold executive sessions without management and we do not expect them to do so in the future. The NYSE requires that a listed U.S. company have a nominating/corporate governance committee of independent directors and a committee charter specifying the purpose, duties and evaluation procedures of the committee. As permitted under Bermuda law and our bye-laws, we do not currently have a nominating or corporate governance committee. The NYSE requires, among other things, that a listed U.S. company have an audit committee with a minimum of three members. As permitted by Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our audit committee consists of two independent members of our Board of Directors. The NYSE requires U.S. companies to adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. The guidelines must address, among other things: director qualification standards, director responsibilities, director access to management and independent advisers, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, management succession and an annual performance evaluation. We are not required to adopt such guidelines under Bermuda law and we have not adopted such guidelines</div>

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.</div>

A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)&#160;pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)&#160;provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3)&#160;provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Nordic American Tankers Limited ("NAT") was formed on June 12, 1995 under the laws of the Islands of Bermuda. The Company's shares trade under the symbol "NAT" on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring and chartering double-hull tankers.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 6pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The Company is an international tanker company that currently owns 26 Suezmax tankers, including two newbuildings, an increase from three vessels owned in the autumn of 2004. The Company expects that the expansion process will continue over time and that more vessels will be added to its fleet. The 24 vessels the Company currently operates average approximately 156,000 dwt each. In 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company chartered all of its operating vessels in the spot market.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">In January 2013 NAT acquired Scandic American Shipping Ltd. ("Scandic") and Orion Tankers Ltd ("Orion"). Accordingly, these financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis for NAT and its subsidiaries ("the Company"). For the year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 Scandic had the daily administrative and operational responsibility and Orion has provided services as the commercial manager. The Group provided assistance in the formation of Nordic American Offshore in 2013 and the initial public offering in 2014, and Scandic has provided administrative services in 2015, 2014 and 2013. For further details on the acquisition of the subsidiaries and the investment in NAO please see Note 4 and Note 5, respectively.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The Company reviews for impairment long-lived assets held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In this respect, the Company reviews its assets for impairment on a vessel by vessel basis. When the estimate of undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of the asset is less than its carrying amount, the Company evaluates the asset for impairment loss. The impairment loss is determined by the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and fair value (calculated based on estimated discounted operating cashflow). In developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flows, the Company makes assumptions and estimates about the vessels' future performance, with the significant assumptions being related to charter rates, fleet utilization, operating expenses, capital expenditures, residual value and the estimated remaining useful life of each vessel. The assumptions used to develop estimates of future undiscounted cash flows are based on historical trends as well as future expectations. The estimated net operating cash flows are determined by considering an estimated daily time charter equivalent for the remaining operating days. The Company estimates the daily time charter equivalent for the remaining operating days based on the most recent fifteen year historical average for similar vessels and utilizing available market data for spot market rates over the remaining estimated life of the vessel, assumed to be 25 years from the delivery of the vessel from the shipyard, net of brokerage commissions, expected outflows for vessels' maintenance and vessel operating expenses (including planned drydocking expenditures). The salvage value used in the impairment test is estimated to be $9.7 million per vessel. If the Company's estimate of undiscounted future cash flows for any vessel is lower than the vessel's carrying value, the carrying value is written down, by recording a charge to operations, to the vessel's fair value if the fair value is lower than the vessel's carrying value. Although the Company believes that the assumptions used to evaluate potential impairment are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are subjective. There can be no assurance as to how long charter rates and vessel values will remain at their currently low levels or whether they will improve by any significant degree. <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000">There was no impairment on vessels for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.</font></div>

The Company capitalizes a substantial portion of the costs incurred during drydocking and amortizes those costs on a straight-line basis from the completion of a drydocking or intermediate survey to the estimated completion of the next drydocking. Consistent with prior periods, drydocking costs include a variety of costs incurred while vessels are placed within drydock, including expenses related to the dock preparation and port expenses at the drydock shipyard, general shipyard expenses, expenses related to hull, external surfaces and decks, expenses related to machinery and engines of the vessel, as well as expenses related to the testing and correction of findings related to safety equipment on board. The Company includes in capitalized drydocking those costs incurred as part of the drydock to meet classification and regulatory requirements. The Company expenses costs related to routine repairs and maintenance performed during drydocking, and for annual class survey costs. Ballast tank improvements are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of eight years. The capitalized and unamortized drydocking costs are included in the book value of the vessels. Amortization expense of the drydocking costs is included in depreciation expense.</div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">On October 26, 2012, the Company entered into a $430 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders in order to refinance its existing credit facility, fund future vessel acquisitions and for general corporate purposes (the "2012 Credit Facility"). Amounts borrowed under the 2012 Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin and the Company pays a commitment fee, which is a percentage of the applicable margin, on any undrawn amounts. The 2012 Credit Facility originally matured in October 2017.</div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">In December 2015 the Company expanded the 2012 Credit Facility from $430 million to $500 million. The new maturity of the credit facility is December 2020. There are no repayment requirements before maturity on the 2012 Credit Facility. The expanded facility was effective January 2016.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility are secured by first priority mortgages over the Company's vessels and assignments of earnings and insurance. Under the 2012 Credit Facility, the Company is subject to certain covenants requiring among other things, the maintenance of (i) a minimum amount of equity; (ii) a minimum equity ratio; (iii) a minimum level of liquidity; and (iv) positive working capital.&#160; The 2012 Credit Facility also includes customary events of default including non-payment, breach of covenants, insolvency, cross default and material adverse change. The Company is permitted to pay dividends in accordance with its dividend policy as long as it is not in default under the 2012 Credit Facility.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">In connection with the expansion of the 2012 Credit Facility the Company incurred $4.6 million in deferred financing costs in 2015.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">At the end of 2015 and 2014 the Company had $330 million and $250 million drawn, and $100 million and $180 million available under its 2012 Credit Facility, respectively.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The arbitration hearings involving the Suezmax vessel Gulf Scandic (now named Nordic Harrier) have finished.

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">When the vessel was redelivered to the Company by the charterer in October 2010, it was in very poor technical condition. The vessel had not been operated according to sound maintenance practices by the charterer. The Company had the vessel repaired in the autumn of 2010 and spring of 2011, and made a claim against GulfNav for costs incurred. A London arbitration panel ruled in favor of NAT at the end of January 2014 and awarded the Company $10.2 million plus direct costs and calculated interest. Any amounts received will be recorded upon receipt, no amounts were received in 2014 or 2015. The Company is trying to protect its interest, but the outcome is uncertain.</div>

As is the case with other companies in similar industries, the Company faces exposure from actual or potential claims and legal proceedings. Although the ultimate disposition of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of the Company's management that the outcome of any claim which might be pending or threatened, either individually or on a combined basis, will not have a materially adverse effect on the financial position of the Company, but could materially affect the Company's results of operations in a given year.</div>

("NAO") was incorporated on October 17, 2013, and operates Platform Supply Vessels ("PSV"). On November 18, 2013 NAO concluded a private placement of $250 million, wherein the Company participated with an investment of $65 million, or 4,333,566 shares. NAO was accounted for using the equity method of accounting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;In June 2014 NAO completed an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange wherein the Company acquired 375,000 shares for $5.6 million.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;In 2014 NAT distributed 699,802 NAO shares as dividend-in-kind to its shareholders. The shares were measured at fair value at the time of the distribution, and a gain of $2.1 million was recognized in the Statements of Operations.&amp;#160; &lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: #000000;"&gt;In December 2014 the Company acquired an additional 488,216 shares in the open market bringing its ownership to 19.2% per December 31, 2014.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: #000000; text-align: justify;"&gt;In May 2015 NAO announced a share repurchase program of under which NAO may repurchase up to 2.5 million of its outstanding shares. Per December 31, 2015 NAO had repurchased 870,839 shares and had 22,560,531 shares outstanding.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Based on the significance of the Company's ownership interest and potential future increase in ownership interest, through NAO's share repurchase program, the Company determined it has the ability to exercise significant influence over NAO and therefore, changed its method of accounting for the investment in NAO from an available-for-sale security to an equity method investment. The change in accounting method has been retrospectively applied to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, resulting in the following adjustments:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt;

Gulf Navigation Holding PJSC (GulfNav) was the other party in the arbitration.

The vessel had not been operated according to sound maintenance practices by the charterer. The Company had the vessel repaired in the autumn of 2010 and spring of 2011, and made a claim against GulfNav for costs incurred. A London arbitration panel ruled in favor of NAT at the end of January 2014 and awarded the Company $10.2 million plus direct costs and calculated interest. Any amounts received will be recorded upon receipt, no amounts were received in 2014 or 2015.

The Company's shares trade under the symbol "NAT" on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring and chartering double-hull tankers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 6pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;The Company is an international tanker company that currently owns 26 Suezmax tankers, including two newbuildings, an increase from three vessels owned in the autumn of 2004. The Company expects that the expansion process will continue over time and that more vessels will be added to its fleet. The 24 vessels the Company currently operates average approximately 156,000 dwt each. In 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company chartered all of its operating vessels in the spot market.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;In January 2013 NAT acquired Scandic American Shipping Ltd. ("Scandic") and Orion Tankers Ltd ("Orion"). Accordingly, these financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis for NAT and its subsidiaries ("the Company"). For the year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 Scandic had the daily administrative and operational responsibility and Orion has provided services as the commercial manager. The Group provided assistance in the formation of Nordic American Offshore in 2013 and the initial public offering in 2014, and Scandic has provided administrative services in 2015, 2014 and 2013. For further details on the acquisition of the subsidiaries and the investment in NAO please see Note 4 and Note 5, respectively.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: #000000; text-align: justify; background-color: #ffffff;"&gt;Tanker markets are typically stronger in the fall and winter months (the fourth and first quarters of the calendar year) in anticipation of increased oil consumption in the northern hemisphere during the winter months.&amp;#160; Seasonal variations in tanker demand normally result in seasonal fluctuations in spot market charter rates.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 6pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;"&gt;The Company's Fleet&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Including two newbuildings, the Company's current fleet consists of 26 Suezmax crude oil tankers of which 24 were built in Korea.

  <us-gaap:PropertyPlantAndEquipmentImpairment contextRef="c20140101to20141231">&lt;div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;"&gt;Impairment of Vessels:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;The Company reviews for impairment long-lived assets held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In this respect, the Company reviews its assets for impairment on a vessel by vessel basis. When the estimate of undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of the asset is less than its carrying amount, the Company evaluates the asset for impairment loss. The impairment loss is determined by the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and fair value (calculated based on estimated discounted operating cashflow). In developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flows, the Company makes assumptions and estimates about the vessels' future performance, with the significant assumptions being related to charter rates, fleet utilization, operating expenses, capital expenditures, residual value and the estimated remaining useful life of each vessel. The assumptions used to develop estimates of future undiscounted cash flows are based on historical trends as well as future expectations. The estimated net operating cash flows are determined by considering an estimated daily time charter equivalent for the remaining operating days. The Company estimates the daily time charter equivalent for the remaining operating days based on the most recent fifteen year historical average for similar vessels and utilizing available market data for spot market rates over the remaining estimated life of the vessel, assumed to be 25 years from the delivery of the vessel from the shipyard, net of brokerage commissions, expected outflows for vessels' maintenance and vessel operating expenses (including planned drydocking expenditures). The salvage value used in the impairment test is estimated to be $9.7 million per vessel. If the Company's estimate of undiscounted future cash flows for any vessel is lower than the vessel's carrying value, the carrying value is written down, by recording a charge to operations, to the vessel's fair value if the fair value is lower than the vessel's carrying value. Although the Company believes that the assumptions used to evaluate potential impairment are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are subjective. There can be no assurance as to how long charter rates and vessel values will remain at their currently low levels or whether they will improve by any significant degree. &lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: #000000;"&gt;There was no impairment on vessels for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:PropertyPlantAndEquipmentImpairment>

Financing costs incurred during the construction period of the vessels are also capitalized and included in vessels' cost based on the weighted-average method. Certain subsequent expenditures for conversions and major improvements are also capitalized if it is determined that they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessel. Depreciation is calculated based on cost less estimated residual value, and is provided over the estimated useful life of the related assets using the straight-line method. The estimated useful life of a vessel is 25 years from the date the vessel is delivered from the shipyard. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:PropertyPlantAndEquipmentPolicyTextBlock>

("NAO") increased to 26.7% Based on the significance of the Company's ownership interest and potential future increase in ownership interest, through NAO's share repurchase program, the Company determined it has the ability to exercise significant influence over NAO and therefore, changed its method of accounting for the investment in NAO from an available-for-sale security to an equity method investment. The change in accounting method has been retrospectively applied to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014&amp;#160; For more information on our investment in NAO please see Note 4.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Use of Estimates:&lt;/font&gt; Preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The effects of changes in accounting estimates are accounted for in the same period in which the estimates are changed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Foreign Currency Translation: &lt;/font&gt;The functional currency of NAT is the United States ("U.S.") dollar as all revenues are received in U.S. dollars and the majority of the expenditures are incurred and paid in U.S. dollars. Transactions in foreign currencies during the year are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt; The subsidiary of Orion, Orion Tankers AS, and the European branch of Scandic, both have Norwegian Kroners as their functional currency. All assets and liabilities of those entities are translated into U.S. dollars as of each balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are reflected in shareholders' equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Revenue and Expense Recognition: &lt;/font&gt;Revenues and expenses are recognized on the accruals basis. Revenues are generated from spot charters.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Voyage revenues and expenses are recognized ratably over the estimated length of each voyage and, therefore, are allocated between reporting periods based on the relative transit time in each period. The impact of recognizing voyage expenses ratably over the length of each voyage is not materially different on a quarterly and annual basis from a method of recognizing such costs as incurred. Probable losses on voyages are provided for in full at the time such losses can be estimated. Based on the terms of the customer agreement, a voyage is deemed to commence upon the completion of discharge of the vessel's previous cargo and is deemed to end upon the completion of discharge of the current cargo. However, the Company does not recognize revenue if a charter has not been contractually committed to by a customer and the Company, even if the vessel has discharged its cargo and is sailing to the anticipated load port on its next voyage.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Spot Charters:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;Revenue is generated from freight billing, as the Company is responsible for paying voyage expenses and the charterer is responsible for any delay at the loading or discharging ports. When the Company's tankers are operating on spot charters the vessels are traded fully at the risk and reward of the Company. The Company considers it appropriate to present the gross amount of earned revenue from the spot charter, showing voyage expenses related to the voyage separately in the Statements of Operations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Vessel Operating Expenses&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; color: #000000;"&gt;:&lt;/font&gt; Vessel operating expenses include crewing, repair and maintenance, insurance, stores, lubricants, management fee, communication expenses and tonnage tax. These expenses are recognized when incurred.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cash and Cash Equivalents:&lt;/font&gt; Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments such as time deposits with original maturities of three months or less.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marketable Securities:&lt;/font&gt;&amp;#160; Marketable equity securities held by the Company are considered to be available-for-sale securities and as such are carried at fair value. Any resulting unrealized gains and losses, are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income in equity unless the securities are considered to be other than temporarily impaired, in which case unrealized losses are recorded in the Statements of Operations. Dividends received on available-for-sale securities are recognized in the Statements of Operations as other financial income.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Accounts Receivable:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;Accounts and other receivables are presented net of allowance for doubtful balances. If balances are determined uncollectable, after all means of collections have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered to be remote, they are charged against the allowance for doubtful balances. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has not made any allowance for doubtful balances.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Inventories: &lt;/font&gt;Inventories, which are comprised of bunker fuel and lubrication oil, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Vessels, Net:&lt;/font&gt; Vessels are stated at their historical cost, which consists of the contracted purchase price and any direct expenses incurred upon acquisition (including improvements, on site supervision expenses incurred during the construction period, commissions paid, delivery expenses and other expenditures to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage) less accumulated depreciation. Financing costs incurred during the construction period of the vessels are also capitalized and included in vessels' cost based on the weighted-average method. Certain subsequent expenditures for conversions and major improvements are also capitalized if it is determined that they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessel. Depreciation is calculated based on cost less estimated residual value, and is provided over the estimated useful life of the related assets using the straight-line method. The estimated useful life of a vessel is 25 years from the date the vessel is delivered from the shipyard. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;"&gt;Impairment of Vessels:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;The Company reviews for impairment long-lived assets held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In this respect, the Company reviews its assets for impairment on a vessel by vessel basis. When the estimate of undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of the asset is less than its carrying amount, the Company evaluates the asset for impairment loss. The impairment loss is determined by the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and fair value (calculated based on estimated discounted operating cashflow). In developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flows, the Company makes assumptions and estimates about the vessels' future performance, with the significant assumptions being related to charter rates, fleet utilization, operating expenses, capital expenditures, residual value and the estimated remaining useful life of each vessel. The assumptions used to develop estimates of future undiscounted cash flows are based on historical trends as well as future expectations. The estimated net operating cash flows are determined by considering an estimated daily time charter equivalent for the remaining operating days. The Company estimates the daily time charter equivalent for the remaining operating days based on the most recent fifteen year historical average for similar vessels and utilizing available market data for spot market rates over the remaining estimated life of the vessel, assumed to be 25 years from the delivery of the vessel from the shipyard, net of brokerage commissions, expected outflows for vessels' maintenance and vessel operating expenses (including planned drydocking expenditures). The salvage value used in the impairment test is estimated to be $9.7 million per vessel. If the Company's estimate of undiscounted future cash flows for any vessel is lower than the vessel's carrying value, the carrying value is written down, by recording a charge to operations, to the vessel's fair value if the fair value is lower than the vessel's carrying value. Although the Company believes that the assumptions used to evaluate potential impairment are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are subjective. There can be no assurance as to how long charter rates and vessel values will remain at their currently low levels or whether they will improve by any significant degree. &lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: #000000;"&gt;There was no impairment on vessels for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Drydocking:&lt;/font&gt; The Company's vessels are required to be drydocked approximately every 30 to 60 months. The Company capitalizes a substantial portion of the costs incurred during drydocking and amortizes those costs on a straight-line basis from the completion of a drydocking or intermediate survey to the estimated completion of the next drydocking. Consistent with prior periods, drydocking costs include a variety of costs incurred while vessels are placed within drydock, including expenses related to the dock preparation and port expenses at the drydock shipyard, general shipyard expenses, expenses related to hull, external surfaces and decks, expenses related to machinery and engines of the vessel, as well as expenses related to the testing and correction of findings related to safety equipment on board. The Company includes in capitalized drydocking those costs incurred as part of the drydock to meet classification and regulatory requirements. The Company expenses costs related to routine repairs and maintenance performed during drydocking, and for annual class survey costs. Ballast tank improvements are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of eight years. The capitalized and unamortized drydocking costs are included in the book value of the vessels. Amortization expense of the drydocking costs is included in depreciation expense.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Investments in Equity Method Investees: &lt;/font&gt;Investments in other entities where the Company has "significant influence" in accordance with U.S. GAAP are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is stated at initial cost and is adjusted for subsequent additional investments and the Company's proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions. The Company evaluates its investment in equity method investees for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may have experienced an other than temporary decline in value below its carrying value. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value and is considered an other than temporary decline, the carrying value is written down to its estimated fair value and the resulting impairment is recorded in the Statements of Operations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: #000000; text-align: justify; background-color: #ffffff;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Business combinations:&lt;/font&gt; The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting, which requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their fair values at the acquisition date. The costs of the acquisition and any related restructuring costs are to be recognized separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The acquired company's operating results are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements starting on the date of acquisition.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: #000000; text-align: justify; background-color: #ffffff;"&gt;The purchase price is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration transferred and liabilities incurred. Tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition are recorded at the acquisition date fair value. Goodwill is recognized for the excess of purchase price over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: left; margin-top: 13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Goodwill: &lt;/font&gt;Goodwill represents the excess of costs over the fair value of the assets of businesses NAT has acquired.&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;Goodwill is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis as of December 31, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The goodwill is tested for impairment, the Company may elect to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Alternatively, the Company may bypass this step and use a fair value approach to identify potential goodwill impairment and, when necessary, measure the amount of impairment. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of the reporting unit, unless there is a readily determinable fair market value.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Deferred Compensation Liability: &lt;/font&gt;The Company has two individual deferred compensation agreements with the Company's CEO and CFO &amp;amp; EVP. The deferred compensation liabilities are denominated in Norwegian currency. The liabilities are accounted for on an accrual basis using actuarial calculations. Any currency translation adjustments as well as actuarial gains and losses are recognized in general and administrative expenses as incurred.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Defined Benefit Plan: &lt;/font&gt;The employees of Scandic and Orion have defined benefit pension plans. The Company accrues the costs and related obligations associated with its defined benefit pension plans based on actuarial computations using the projected benefits obligation method and management's best estimates of expected plan investment performance, salary escalation, and other relevant factors. For the purpose of calculating the expected return on plan assets, those assets are valued at fair value. The underfunded status of the defined benefit pension plans are recognized as&amp;#160; deferred compensation liability in the Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes as a component of other comprehensive loss, the gains or losses that arise during a period but that are not recognized as part of net periodic benefit costs. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the net liability was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Other Comprehensive Income (Loss):&lt;/font&gt; The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income" which requires separate presentation of certain transactions that are recorded directly as components of shareholders' equity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Segment Information: &lt;/font&gt;The Company has identified only one operating segment.

For further information on fair value of financial instruments please see Note 16.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Deferred Financing Costs:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;Financing costs, including fees, commissions and legal expenses, which are recorded as "Other Non-Current Assets" and "Other Current Assets" on the Balance Sheets are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement. Applying the straight-line basis is not materially different from the effective interest method.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;"&gt;Stock-Based Payments:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-style: italic;"&gt;Restricted Shares to Employees: &lt;/font&gt;The fair value of restricted shares is estimated based on the market price of the Company's shares. The fair value of restricted shares granted to employees is measured at grant date and the Company records the compensation expense for such awards over the requisite service period.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Income Taxes:&amp;#160; &lt;/font&gt;The Company is incorporated in Bermuda. Under current Bermuda law, the Company is not subject to corporate income taxes. The statutory applicable rate to consolidated corporate earnings is 0%.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Two of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries are located in Norway and are subject to income tax in that jurisdiction at 27%, 27% and 28% for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of their taxable profit.&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; color: #ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: #000000;"&gt;The income tax expensed for year ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $96,000, $47,000 and $65,000, respectively. Deferred tax assets related to these entities is not material. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits, material accrued interests or penalties related to income taxes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;"&gt;Concentrations:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Concentration of Credit Risk:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The Company's cash is primarily held in major banks and financial institutions and typically insured up to a set amount. Accordingly, the Company believes the risk of any potential loss on deposits held in these institutions is minimal. Concentrations of credit risk relative to accounts receivable are limited to our client base in the energy industry that may be affected by changes in economic or other external conditions. The Company does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. The fair value of the financial instruments approximates the net book value.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify; background-color: #ffffff;"&gt;For the year ended December 31, 2015 &lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"&gt;two customers' accounted for approximately&amp;#160;30&lt;/font&gt;% and 12%&amp;#160;of the total revenues, respectively.

The ASU will be effective for the first interim period beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard, if any, on its consolidated statements and related disclosures.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, &lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-style: italic;"&gt;Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, &lt;/font&gt;which provides new authoritative guidance regarding management's responsibility to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The Company is not planning to early adopt&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"&gt;,&lt;/font&gt; and the adoption is not expected to have material impact on the consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, &lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-style: italic;"&gt;Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis&lt;/font&gt;, which provides new authoritative guidance regarding whether reporting entities should consolidate certain legal entities. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively. The Company is not planning to early adopt, and the adoption is not expected to have material impact on the consolidated financial statements&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: #000000; text-align: justify;"&gt;In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03,&amp;#160; &lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-style: italic;"&gt;Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,&lt;/font&gt; which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the Balance Sheets as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. In August 2015, ASU 2015-15 clarified this standard to state that debt issuance costs of line of credit arrangements would not be required to be reclassified from other assets to liabilities.&amp;#160; Upon adoption, an entity must apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company will adopt the standard effective January 1, 2016 which will result in the netting of our deferred financing costs against long-term debt balances in the Balance Sheets for the periods presented and related disclosure. There will be no impact to the manner in which deferred financing costs are amortized in our consolidated financial statements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;In July 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, &lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-style: italic;"&gt;Inventory (Topic 330) &amp;#8211; Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, &lt;/font&gt;which requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not been previously issued. The Company is not planning to early adopt, and the adoption is not expected to have material impact on the consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: #000000; text-align: justify;"&gt;In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, &lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-style: italic;"&gt;Leases (Topic 842), &lt;/font&gt;introducing a new lessee model to determine classification of leases.

font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;As part of the acquisition of Scandic the Company issued 1,910,112 shares.

The Share Premium Fund cannot be distributed without complying with certain legal procedures designed to protect the creditors of the Company, including public notice to its creditors and a subsequent period for creditor notice of concern, regarding the Company's intention to make such funds available for distribution following shareholder approval. The Share Premium Fund was $77.4 million and $77.4 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively. Credits and Charges to Additional Paid in Capital were a result of the accounting for the Company's share based compensation programs and issuance of shares in relation to the acquisition of Scandic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;On June 17, 2014, at the Company's Annual General Meeting, shareholders voted to reduce the Share Premium Fund by the amount of $208.2 million. The legal procedures related to this reduction were finalized in July 2014 upon which the amount became eligible for distribution.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"&gt;Contributed Surplus Account&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;The Company's Contributed Surplus Account as defined by Bermuda law, consists of amounts previously recorded as share premium, transferred to Contributed Surplus Account when resolutions are adopted by the Company's shareholders to make Share Premium Fund distributable or available for other purposes. As indicated by the laws governing the Company, the Contributed Surplus Account can be used for dividend distribution and to cover accumulated losses from its operations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;For 2015, the Company had a net income of $114.6 million, and paid a dividend of $123.0 million. Accordingly, a total of $8.4 million were charged to the Company's Contributed Surplus Account.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 the Company had a net loss of $13.2 million and $105.4 million, respectively. For these years all dividend distributions were charged to the Contributed Surplus Account.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"&gt;Stockholders Rights Plan&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;In 2007, the Board of Directors adopted a stockholders rights agreement and declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of the Company's Series A Participating Preferred Stock for each outstanding share of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The dividend was payable on February 27, 2007 to stockholders of record on that date. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $115, subject to adjustment. The Company can redeem the rights at any time prior to a public announcement that a person has acquired ownership of 15% or more of the Company's common stock.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;This stockholders rights plan was designed to enable us to protect stockholder interests in the event that an unsolicited attempt is made for a business combination with, or a takeover of, the Company.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:StockholdersEquityNoteDisclosureTextBlock>

Revenues are generated from spot charters.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Voyage revenues and expenses are recognized ratably over the estimated length of each voyage and, therefore, are allocated between reporting periods based on the relative transit time in each period. The impact of recognizing voyage expenses ratably over the length of each voyage is not materially different on a quarterly and annual basis from a method of recognizing such costs as incurred. Probable losses on voyages are provided for in full at the time such losses can be estimated. Based on the terms of the customer agreement, a voyage is deemed to commence upon the completion of discharge of the vessel's previous cargo and is deemed to end upon the completion of discharge of the current cargo. However, the Company does not recognize revenue if a charter has not been contractually committed to by a customer and the Company, even if the vessel has discharged its cargo and is sailing to the anticipated load port on its next voyage.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Spot Charters:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;Revenue is generated from freight billing, as the Company is responsible for paying voyage expenses and the charterer is responsible for any delay at the loading or discharging ports. When the Company's tankers are operating on spot charters the vessels are traded fully at the risk and reward of the Company. The Company considers it appropriate to present the gross amount of earned revenue from the spot charter, showing voyage expenses related to the voyage separately in the Statements of Operations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</nat:RevenueAndExpenseRecognitionPolicyTextBlock>

The Company accrues the costs and related obligations associated with its defined benefit pension plans based on actuarial computations using the projected benefits obligation method and management's best estimates of expected plan investment performance, salary escalation, and other relevant factors. For the purpose of calculating the expected return on plan assets, those assets are valued at fair value. The underfunded status of the defined benefit pension plans are recognized as&amp;#160; deferred compensation liability in the Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes as a component of other comprehensive loss, the gains or losses that arise during a period but that are not recognized as part of net periodic benefit costs. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the net liability was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</nat:DefinedBenefitPlanPolicyTextBlock>

The Company's cash is primarily held in major banks and financial institutions and typically insured up to a set amount. Accordingly, the Company believes the risk of any potential loss on deposits held in these institutions is minimal. Concentrations of credit risk relative to accounts receivable are limited to our client base in the energy industry that may be affected by changes in economic or other external conditions.

The Company capitalizes a substantial portion of the costs incurred during drydocking and amortizes those costs on a straight-line basis from the completion of a drydocking or intermediate survey to the estimated completion of the next drydocking. Consistent with prior periods, drydocking costs include a variety of costs incurred while vessels are placed within drydock, including expenses related to the dock preparation and port expenses at the drydock shipyard, general shipyard expenses, expenses related to hull, external surfaces and decks, expenses related to machinery and engines of the vessel, as well as expenses related to the testing and correction of findings related to safety equipment on board. The Company includes in capitalized drydocking those costs incurred as part of the drydock to meet classification and regulatory requirements. The Company expenses costs related to routine repairs and maintenance performed during drydocking, and for annual class survey costs. Ballast tank improvements are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of eight years.

The Company's shares trade under the symbol "NAT" on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Company expects that the expansion process will continue over time and that more vessels will be added to its fleet. The 24 vessels the Company currently operates average approximately 156,000 dwt each. In 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company chartered all of its operating vessels in the spot market.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;">In January 2013 NAT acquired Scandic American Shipping Ltd. ("Scandic") and Orion Tankers Ltd ("Orion"). Accordingly, these financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis for NAT and its subsidiaries ("the Company"). For the year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 Scandic had the daily administrative and operational responsibility and Orion has provided services as the commercial manager. The Group provided assistance in the formation of Nordic American Offshore in 2013 and the initial public offering in 2014, and Scandic has provided administrative services in 2015, 2014 and 2013. For further details on the acquisition of the subsidiaries and the investment in NAO please see Note 4 and Note 5, respectively.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: #000000; text-align: justify; background-color: #ffffff;">Tanker markets are typically stronger in the fall and winter months (the fourth and first quarters of the calendar year) in anticipation of increased oil consumption in the northern hemisphere during the winter months.&#160; Seasonal variations in tanker demand normally result in seasonal fluctuations in spot market charter rates.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 6pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;">The Company's Fleet</div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;">Including two newbuildings, the Company's current fleet consists of 26 Suezmax crude oil tankers of which 24 were built in Korea.

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;">The equity method of accounting is used for investments in companies which NAT does not control; however, NAT has the ability to exercise significant influence.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;">During 2015, the Company's ownership interest in Nordic American Offshore Ltd. ("NAO") increased to 26.7% Based on the significance of the Company's ownership interest and potential future increase in ownership interest, through NAO's share repurchase program, the Company determined it has the ability to exercise significant influence over NAO and therefore, changed its method of accounting for the investment in NAO from an available-for-sale security to an equity method investment. The change in accounting method has been retrospectively applied to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014&#160; For more information on our investment in NAO please see Note 4.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">Use of Estimates:</font> Preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The effects of changes in accounting estimates are accounted for in the same period in which the estimates are changed.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">Foreign Currency Translation: </font>The functional currency of NAT is the United States ("U.S.") dollar as all revenues are received in U.S. dollars and the majority of the expenditures are incurred and paid in U.S. dollars. Transactions in foreign currencies during the year are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction<font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">.</font> The subsidiary of Orion, Orion Tankers AS, and the European branch of Scandic, both have Norwegian Kroners as their functional currency. All assets and liabilities of those entities are translated into U.S. dollars as of each balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are reflected in shareholders' equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">Revenue and Expense Recognition: </font>Revenues and expenses are recognized on the accruals basis. Revenues are generated from spot charters.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;">Voyage revenues and expenses are recognized ratably over the estimated length of each voyage and, therefore, are allocated between reporting periods based on the relative transit time in each period. The impact of recognizing voyage expenses ratably over the length of each voyage is not materially different on a quarterly and annual basis from a method of recognizing such costs as incurred. Probable losses on voyages are provided for in full at the time such losses can be estimated. Based on the terms of the customer agreement, a voyage is deemed to commence upon the completion of discharge of the vessel's previous cargo and is deemed to end upon the completion of discharge of the current cargo. However, the Company does not recognize revenue if a charter has not been contractually committed to by a customer and the Company, even if the vessel has discharged its cargo and is sailing to the anticipated load port on its next voyage.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Spot Charters:</font><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-style: italic;">&#160;</font>Revenue is generated from freight billing, as the Company is responsible for paying voyage expenses and the charterer is responsible for any delay at the loading or discharging ports. When the Company's tankers are operating on spot charters the vessels are traded fully at the risk and reward of the Company. The Company considers it appropriate to present the gross amount of earned revenue from the spot charter, showing voyage expenses related to the voyage separately in the Statements of Operations.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">Vessel Operating Expenses</font><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; color: #000000;">:</font> Vessel operating expenses include crewing, repair and maintenance, insurance, stores, lubricants, management fee, communication expenses and tonnage tax. These expenses are recognized when incurred.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">Cash and Cash Equivalents:</font> Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments such as time deposits with original maturities of three months or less.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: left;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">Marketable Securities:</font>&#160; Marketable equity securities held by the Company are considered to be available-for-sale securities and as such are carried at fair value. Any resulting unrealized gains and losses, are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income in equity unless the securities are considered to be other than temporarily impaired, in which case unrealized losses are recorded in the Statements of Operations. Dividends received on available-for-sale securities are recognized in the Statements of Operations as other financial income.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: left;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">Accounts Receivable:</font><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">&#160;</font>Accounts and other receivables are presented net of allowance for doubtful balances. If balances are determined uncollectable, after all means of collections have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered to be remote, they are charged against the allowance for doubtful balances. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has not made any allowance for doubtful balances.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">Inventories: </font>Inventories, which are comprised of bunker fuel and lubrication oil, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">Vessels, Net:</font> Vessels are stated at their historical cost, which consists of the contracted purchase price and any direct expenses incurred upon acquisition (including improvements, on site supervision expenses incurred during the construction period, commissions paid, delivery expenses and other expenditures to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage) less accumulated depreciation. Financing costs incurred during the construction period of the vessels are also capitalized and included in vessels' cost based on the weighted-average method. Certain subsequent expenditures for conversions and major improvements are also capitalized if it is determined that they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessel. Depreciation is calculated based on cost less estimated residual value, and is provided over the estimated useful life of the related assets using the straight-line method. The estimated useful life of a vessel is 25 years from the date the vessel is delivered from the shipyard. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;">Impairment of Vessels:</div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;">The Company reviews for impairment long-lived assets held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In this respect, the Company reviews its assets for impairment on a vessel by vessel basis. When the estimate of undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of the asset is less than its carrying amount, the Company evaluates the asset for impairment loss. The impairment loss is determined by the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and fair value (calculated based on estimated discounted operating cashflow). In developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flows, the Company makes assumptions and estimates about the vessels' future performance, with the significant assumptions being related to charter rates, fleet utilization, operating expenses, capital expenditures, residual value and the estimated remaining useful life of each vessel. The assumptions used to develop estimates of future undiscounted cash flows are based on historical trends as well as future expectations. The estimated net operating cash flows are determined by considering an estimated daily time charter equivalent for the remaining operating days. The Company estimates the daily time charter equivalent for the remaining operating days based on the most recent fifteen year historical average for similar vessels and utilizing available market data for spot market rates over the remaining estimated life of the vessel, assumed to be 25 years from the delivery of the vessel from the shipyard, net of brokerage commissions, expected outflows for vessels' maintenance and vessel operating expenses (including planned drydocking expenditures). The salvage value used in the impairment test is estimated to be $9.7 million per vessel. If the Company's estimate of undiscounted future cash flows for any vessel is lower than the vessel's carrying value, the carrying value is written down, by recording a charge to operations, to the vessel's fair value if the fair value is lower than the vessel's carrying value. Although the Company believes that the assumptions used to evaluate potential impairment are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are subjective. There can be no assurance as to how long charter rates and vessel values will remain at their currently low levels or whether they will improve by any significant degree. <font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: #000000;">There was no impairment on vessels for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.</font></div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">Drydocking:</font> The Company's vessels are required to be drydocked approximately every 30 to 60 months. The Company capitalizes a substantial portion of the costs incurred during drydocking and amortizes those costs on a straight-line basis from the completion of a drydocking or intermediate survey to the estimated completion of the next drydocking. Consistent with prior periods, drydocking costs include a variety of costs incurred while vessels are placed within drydock, including expenses related to the dock preparation and port expenses at the drydock shipyard, general shipyard expenses, expenses related to hull, external surfaces and decks, expenses related to machinery and engines of the vessel, as well as expenses related to the testing and correction of findings related to safety equipment on board. The Company includes in capitalized drydocking those costs incurred as part of the drydock to meet classification and regulatory requirements. The Company expenses costs related to routine repairs and maintenance performed during drydocking, and for annual class survey costs. Ballast tank improvements are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of eight years. The capitalized and unamortized drydocking costs are included in the book value of the vessels. Amortization expense of the drydocking costs is included in depreciation expense.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">Investments in Equity Method Investees: </font>Investments in other entities where the Company has "significant influence" in accordance with U.S. GAAP are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.<font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">&#160;</font>Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is stated at initial cost and is adjusted for subsequent additional investments and the Company's proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions. The Company evaluates its investment in equity method investees for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may have experienced an other than temporary decline in value below its carrying value. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value and is considered an other than temporary decline, the carrying value is written down to its estimated fair value and the resulting impairment is recorded in the Statements of Operations.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: #000000; text-align: justify; background-color: #ffffff;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">Business combinations:</font> The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting, which requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their fair values at the acquisition date. The costs of the acquisition and any related restructuring costs are to be recognized separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The acquired company's operating results are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements starting on the date of acquisition.</div><div style="background-color: #ffffff;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: #000000; text-align: justify; background-color: #ffffff;">The purchase price is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration transferred and liabilities incurred. Tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition are recorded at the acquisition date fair value. Goodwill is recognized for the excess of purchase price over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.</div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: left; margin-top: 13.5pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">Goodwill: </font>Goodwill represents the excess of costs over the fair value of the assets of businesses NAT has acquired.<font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">&#160;</font>Goodwill is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis as of December 31, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The goodwill is tested for impairment, the Company may elect to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Alternatively, the Company may bypass this step and use a fair value approach to identify potential goodwill impairment and, when necessary, measure the amount of impairment. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of the reporting unit, unless there is a readily determinable fair market value.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">Deferred Compensation Liability: </font>The Company has two individual deferred compensation agreements with the Company's CEO and CFO &amp; EVP. The deferred compensation liabilities are denominated in Norwegian currency. The liabilities are accounted for on an accrual basis using actuarial calculations. Any currency translation adjustments as well as actuarial gains and losses are recognized in general and administrative expenses as incurred.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: left;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">Defined Benefit Plan: </font>The employees of Scandic and Orion have defined benefit pension plans. The Company accrues the costs and related obligations associated with its defined benefit pension plans based on actuarial computations using the projected benefits obligation method and management's best estimates of expected plan investment performance, salary escalation, and other relevant factors. For the purpose of calculating the expected return on plan assets, those assets are valued at fair value. The underfunded status of the defined benefit pension plans are recognized as&#160; deferred compensation liability in the Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes as a component of other comprehensive loss, the gains or losses that arise during a period but that are not recognized as part of net periodic benefit costs. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the net liability was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">Other Comprehensive Income (Loss):</font> The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income" which requires separate presentation of certain transactions that are recorded directly as components of shareholders' equity.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold;">Segment Information: </font>The Company has identified only one operating segment.

("NAO") was incorporated on October 17, 2013, and operates Platform Supply Vessels ("PSV"). On November 18, 2013 NAO concluded a private placement of $250 million, wherein the Company participated with an investment of $65 million, or 4,333,566 shares. NAO was accounted for using the equity method of accounting.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;">In June 2014 NAO completed an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange wherein the Company acquired 375,000 shares for $5.6 million.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;">In 2014 NAT distributed 699,802 NAO shares as dividend-in-kind to its shareholders. The shares were measured at fair value at the time of the distribution, and a gain of $2.1 million was recognized in the Statements of Operations.&#160; <font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: #000000;">In December 2014 the Company acquired an additional 488,216 shares in the open market bringing its ownership to 19.2% per December 31, 2014.</font></div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: #000000; text-align: justify;">In May 2015 NAO announced a share repurchase program of under which NAO may repurchase up to 2.5 million of its outstanding shares. Per December 31, 2015 NAO had repurchased 870,839 shares and had 22,560,531 shares outstanding.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;">Based on the significance of the Company's ownership interest and potential future increase in ownership interest, through NAO's share repurchase program, the Company determined it has the ability to exercise significant influence over NAO and therefore, changed its method of accounting for the investment in NAO from an available-for-sale security to an equity method investment. The change in accounting method has been retrospectively applied to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, resulting in the following adjustments:</div><div style="font-size: 10pt;

The Share Premium Fund cannot be distributed without complying with certain legal procedures designed to protect the creditors of the Company, including public notice to its creditors and a subsequent period for creditor notice of concern, regarding the Company's intention to make such funds available for distribution following shareholder approval. The Share Premium Fund was $77.4 million and $77.4 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively. Credits and Charges to Additional Paid in Capital were a result of the accounting for the Company's share based compensation programs and issuance of shares in relation to the acquisition of Scandic.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;">On June 17, 2014, at the Company's Annual General Meeting, shareholders voted to reduce the Share Premium Fund by the amount of $208.2 million.

As indicated by the laws governing the Company, the Contributed Surplus Account can be used for dividend distribution and to cover accumulated losses from its operations.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;">For 2015, the Company had a net income of $114.6 million, and paid a dividend of $123.0 million.

The dividend was payable on February 27, 2007 to stockholders of record on that date. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $115, subject to adjustment. The Company can redeem the rights at any time prior to a public announcement that a person has acquired ownership of 15% or more of the Company's common stock.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;">This stockholders rights plan was designed to enable us to protect stockholder interests in the event that an unsolicited attempt is made for a business combination with, or a takeover of, the Company.</div></div><span></span>

Gulf Navigation Holding PJSC (GulfNav) was the other party in the arbitration. The case relates to the 6 year bareboat charter with GulfNav of the Gulf Scandic covering the period 2004 to 2010.</div><div><br /></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;">When the vessel was redelivered to the Company by the charterer in October 2010, it was in very poor technical condition. The vessel had not been operated according to sound maintenance practices by the charterer. The Company had the vessel repaired in the autumn of 2010 and spring of 2011, and made a claim against GulfNav for costs incurred. A London arbitration panel ruled in favor of NAT at the end of January 2014 and awarded the Company $10.2 million plus direct costs and calculated interest. Any amounts received will be recorded upon receipt, no amounts were received in 2014 or 2015.

As is the case with other companies in similar industries, the Company faces exposure from actual or potential claims and legal proceedings. Although the ultimate disposition of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of the Company's management that the outcome of any claim which might be pending or threatened, either individually or on a combined basis, will not have a materially adverse effect on the financial position of the Company, but could materially affect the Company's results of operations in a given year.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: justify;">No claims have been filed against the Company for the fiscal years 2015, 2014 or 2013, and the Company has not been a party to any legal proceedings for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.</div></div><span></span>

In this respect, the Company reviews its assets for impairment on a vessel by vessel basis. When the estimate of undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of the asset is less than its carrying amount, the Company evaluates the asset for impairment loss. The impairment loss is determined by the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and fair value (calculated based on estimated discounted operating cashflow). In developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flows, the Company makes assumptions and estimates about the vessels' future performance, with the significant assumptions being related to charter rates, fleet utilization, operating expenses, capital expenditures, residual value and the estimated remaining useful life of each vessel. The assumptions used to develop estimates of future undiscounted cash flows are based on historical trends as well as future expectations. The estimated net operating cash flows are determined by considering an estimated daily time charter equivalent for the remaining operating days. The Company estimates the daily time charter equivalent for the remaining operating days based on the most recent fifteen year historical average for similar vessels and utilizing available market data for spot market rates over the remaining estimated life of the vessel, assumed to be 25 years from the delivery of the vessel from the shipyard, net of brokerage commissions, expected outflows for vessels' maintenance and vessel operating expenses (including planned drydocking expenditures). The salvage value used in the impairment test is estimated to be $9.7 million per vessel. If the Company's estimate of undiscounted future cash flows for any vessel is lower than the vessel's carrying value, the carrying value is written down, by recording a charge to operations, to the vessel's fair value if the fair value is lower than the vessel's carrying value. Although the Company believes that the assumptions used to evaluate potential impairment are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are subjective. There can be no assurance as to how long charter rates and vessel values will remain at their currently low levels or whether they will improve by any significant degree. <font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: #000000;">There was no impairment on vessels for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.</font></div></div><span></span>

Consistent with prior periods, drydocking costs include a variety of costs incurred while vessels are placed within drydock, including expenses related to the dock preparation and port expenses at the drydock shipyard, general shipyard expenses, expenses related to hull, external surfaces and decks, expenses related to machinery and engines of the vessel, as well as expenses related to the testing and correction of findings related to safety equipment on board. The Company includes in capitalized drydocking those costs incurred as part of the drydock to meet classification and regulatory requirements. The Company expenses costs related to routine repairs and maintenance performed during drydocking, and for annual class survey costs. Ballast tank improvements are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of eight years.

The goodwill is tested for impairment, the Company may elect to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Alternatively, the Company may bypass this step and use a fair value approach to identify potential goodwill impairment and, when necessary, measure the amount of impairment. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of the reporting unit, unless there is a readily determinable fair market value.</div></div><span></span>
