Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and BTIG, LLC (the "Representatives") propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Scorpio Tankers Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (the "Company"), providing for the public offering (the "Public Offering") by the several Underwriters, including the Representatives (the "Underwriters"), of 162,162,163 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock").
To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 90 days after the date of the final prospectus relating to the Public Offering (the "Prospectus") (the "Lock-up Period"), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell (including any short sale), sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The


foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Common Stock or other securities acquired in such open market transactions, (b) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock as a bona fide gift, or (c) distributions of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock to limited partners or stockholders of the undersigned; provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (b) or (c), (i) each donee or distributee shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter and (ii) no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the restricted period referred to in the foregoing sentence, (d) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Common Stock, provided that such plan does not provide for the transfer of Common Stock during the Lock-up Period and no public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act regarding the establishment of such plan shall be required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company and (e) sales or transfers by any director or officer of the Company following the thirtieth (30th) day of the Lock-Up Period with respect to an aggregate of no more than 4,000,000 shares (the "Carveout Limit") of Common Stock by any one or more directors or officers of the Company subject to similar lock-up provisions with respect to the Common Stock, provided that, prior to any such sale or transfer of Common Stock pursuant to this clause (e), the party seeking to sell or transfer such Common Stock shall inform and receive confirmation from the Representatives that the Carveout Limit would not be exceeded by such party based on prior sales or transfers by any other parties. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the Lock-up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company's transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned's shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned's heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
The undersigned acknowledges that the completion of the Public Offering depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters.


This agreement is irrevocable and will be binding on the undersigned and the respective successors, heirs, personal representatives, and assigns of the undersigned, provided however, that this agreement will terminate if the Public Offering does not close on or before October 16, 2018 or is terminated pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.
