High technical and managerial requirements by customers and regulators creates economies of scale
and scope
Well established operators preferred given technical expertise required and the cost /impact of
downtime

Shuttle Tanker Market Overview
Shuttle Tanker
Market Overview
12
A Critical Component of Operator Infrastructure:
Shuttle Tankers are substituting pipelines in Deep Sea oil production
Superior, more economical alternative with lower
initial investment in certain fields based on:
– Distance from infrastructure
– Water depth
– Seabed terrain
– Field size
– Field life
Destination flexibility
Less capital expenditures
Lease and services contracts
Mobility of “pipeline”
Specially designed tankers with sophisticated
bow loading and submerged turret loading
equipment
– Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems enable the vessel
to stay on location in high seas and in harsh
environments
– 50% higher investment cost than conventional
tankers
Tender-based business drives newbuilds
(versus speculative ordering)
Longer-term contracts
Stricter standards and specialized crewing
Advantages vs. Pipelines Key Differences vs. Conventional Tankers
Seismic Drilling Subsea Production Storage Transport
Cost for field operator Revenue for field operator

One of worlds youngest fleets with the latest technology
• Drop-down inventory would allow
KNOP fleet to continue to age
gracefully assuming consummation of
dropdowns
• All vessels and dropdown equipped
with modern dynamic positioning
technology, DP2
• Three vessels are winterized, are
prepared for Arctic conditions (Bodil

Knutsen)
*2017 KNOP fleet assumes acquisition of include Raquel Knutsen

Brazil – output from Shuttle Tanker operated fields
Existing fields New fields
North Sea:
The 9% p.a. depletion rate applied to existing fields is very
conservative as the average depletion rate 2000-14 is 6.0% p.a.
All 10 field developments adding about 0.5 mbd output in
2016/17 are moving forward according to schedule.
The Johan Castberg field in the Barents Sea will be developed
using a floater and shuttle tankers.
Recent drilling in the Barents Sea has added significantly to
reserves and prospects for development.
In the latest licensing round in Norway new acreage was
opened up with great success.
The Barents Sea will become the new shuttle tanker frontier in
the 2020s.
Brazil:
A 9% depletion rate for existing fields is an official Petrobras
figure.
New production greatly impacted by the corruption scandals.
However, sanctioned projects seem to move forward.
The post 2020 Libra development (12-16 shuttle tankers) is
moving forwards according to plan, limited impact by corruption
scandals.
17
Still significant demand for new shuttle tanker projects
As of today shuttle tanker market extremely tight,
without any free capacity
Fearnleys sees a significant demand for new
shuttle tankers going forward
– Expect tenders for in excess of 40 vessels up to 2020
– Including attrition demand which represent more than
half of the demand
Corruption scandal in Brazil combined with lower
oil price have decreased/delayed shuttle tanker
demand
– No field development projects have been canceled
– Projects likely to be developed, timing uncertain
In Brazil generally perform long haul trades
– Ton mile (vessel) demand increases in with oil
production

Have we delivered on expectation?
Distribution:
IPO Guidance:
“10-15 per cent increase in
distribution the first three years”
Status 2016:
Distribution growth since IPO is 39 per cent
Buyback program of units initiated
Fleet growth: Fleet has grown 150% since IPO.
Drop-down inventory is still five vessels
representing growth potential of 275% since IPO
Coverage ratio : “1.1x forecasted distribution
coverage ratio” Currently 1.2x and guided 1.25x
Weighted average since IPO 1.2x
Chartering:
In addition to securing six new drop-down
vessels since IPO, we have also entered into
new contracts for Windsor and extended Bodil
and Carmen contracts

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA refers to earnings before interest, other financial items, taxes, non-controlling interest, depreciation and
amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by investors to measure our performance.
The Partnership believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists its management and investors by increasing the comparability of its
performance from period to period and against the performance of other companies in its industry that provide Adjusted EBITDA
information. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods or companies
of interest, other financial items, taxes and depreciation and amortization, which items are affected by various and possibly
changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect net income
between periods. The Partnership believes that including Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure benefits investors in
(a) selecting between investing in the Partnership and other investment alternatives and (b) monitoring the Partnership’s ongoing
financial and operational strength in assessing whether to continue to hold common units. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP
financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator of Partnership performance
calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Distributable Cash Flow
Distributable cash flow represents net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, unrealized gains and losses from
derivatives, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, other non-cash items and estimated maintenance and replacement
capital expenditures. Estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures, including estimated expenditures for
drydocking, represent capital expenditures required to maintain over the long-term the operating capacity of, or the revenue
generated by our capital assets. Distributable cash flow is a quantitative standard used by investors in publicly-traded partnerships
to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP financial
measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator of KNOT Offshore Partners’
performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.
