3 1,000 km of turbines transport in a nut shell 3,320 turbines were shipped in End to end, this would span 630 miles, or the distance from Houston to Amarillo, Texas, or Denmark to Paris, France 900,000 tons of steel was shipped in 2009 One complete wind turbine equals 10 truck loads = 33,200 truck loads in 2009 Specially designed trailers and rail cars 3

4 Transport constrains: We think out of the box Traditional way of shipping 1 ship per project Cost effective way of shipping combining projects to the best for our customers 4

5 Consolidating transport projects: 1 project = more than 1 order Benefits to the customer: Reduced transport cost per MW up to 12% Faster transport Flexibility ie. size of ocean vessel 5

6 Cost efficiency: Trading in trucks for trains One tower base section on a truck = $40/mile One tower base section on a train = $10/mile 6

7 Contributing to success: Consolidation, cost reduction and continuous improvement Consolidating air and sea freight Reducing transport costs Continuously improving global transport processes and our worldwide infrastructure 7

Lone Star has benefited from a substantial decrease in DOT (Department of Transportation) recordable accidents. 8

9 Making transport greener: Minimizing the use of the planet s resources 271 tons of carbon dioxide are SAVED by using railway transport instead of trucks. It will take 6,311 tree seedlings over 10 years to remove the same amount of carbon dioxide from the environment 9
