INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT

On April 2, 2013, the Board of Directors of Scorpio Tankers Inc. (the "Company"), upon recommendation of the Company's audit committee, appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers ("PWC") as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, replacing Deloitte LLP ("Deloitte"). A resolution ratifying such appointment will be included in the proposals for the Company's next annual general meeting of shareholders. The Company dismissed Deloitte as its independent auditor effective April 2, 2013.

Deloitte's reports on the Company's financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, and through April 2, 2013, there have been no disagreements with Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which such disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in their reports. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 and through April 2, 2013, there were no reportable events, as that term is described in paragraphs (A) through (D) of Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.

In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, and through the date hereof, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PWC on the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, or any matter that was the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions to Item 16F of Form 20-F, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.

The Company has requested Deloitte to furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements and, if not, the respects in which Deloitte does not agree. A copy of that letter, dated April 8, 2013, is filed as Exhibit 1 to this report on Form 6-K.

The information contained in this report on Form 6-K is hereby incorporated by reference into the Company's registration statement on Form F-3 (File No.333-186815) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2013.
