Press Release

For Immediate Release

CHEMOIL PROFIT INCREASED FOR 2Q2013 Singapore, August 13, 2013 - SGX mainboard-listed Chemoil (SGX-ST: CHEL.SI), one of the world's leading suppliers of marine fuel, announced today that profit after tax attributable to equity holders for the second quarter of 2013 increased to US$ 11.7 million (US$ 2.9 million for 2Q2012). Half year 2013 profits likewise increased to US$ 19.1 million (US$ 11.8 million for 1H2012)

Gross contribution per metric ton improved 47% in 2Q2013 to US$ 10.1 per metric ton, and 17% in

1H2013 to US$ 9.2 per metric ton. However, volumes of fuels sold decreased 5.3% to 4.7 million tons for 2Q2013, and decreased 6.5% to 9.2 million tons for 1H2013. The decrease came mainly from reduced retail and cargo sales in the Americas.

Chemoil's CEO, Tom Reilly stated "We showed relatively good performance in the second quarter and focused on ensuring good margins, a result that can be seen in our improved profitability. Although, volumes improved slightly in Asia and Europe, volume reduction in the Americas led to our overall volume reduction as a group. However, going forward we expect volume growth in the Americas from our recent acquisition of the marine fuels business of Colonial Marine in south eastern United States."

Fred Bendle, Chemoil's CFO added "We have recently closed two major financing syndications totalling US$800 million, a revolving credit facility as well as a receivables borrowing base facility. These facilities are an integral part of preparing Chemoil for further business growth as we execute strategic acquisitions such as Colonial."
