3 Section 1

4 Company snapshot Fjord Line was established in 1993 MV Bergensfjord serviced a route between Northern Denmark and the West Coast of Norway In 2007, the Company was restructured and the Teigen family came in as new majority owners The family has been very supportive by providing new equity and shareholder loans throughout the period Today Fjord Line is the only player on the West Coast route with the new vessels MV Stavangerfjord and MV Bergensfjord Route; Bergen Stavanger Hirtshals Langesund The route between Langesund and Hirtshals opened up due to significant speed advantage with the new vessels The Kristiansand - Hirtshals route is operated by MV Fjord Cat (built in 1998) during summer season with up to 3 daily roundtrips Fjord Line will start operating on the route between Sandefjord and Strömstad in June 2014 subsequent to the conversion of MV Oslofjord (old Bergensfjord) Fjord Line has been allocated and slots from Sandefjord Fjord Line will operate in direct competition with Color Line

5 Company structure Ownership is 100% unless otherwise noted Fjord Line AS (Commercial management) Fjord Skibsholding I A/S (MS Oslofjord) Fjord Skibsholding II A/S (HSC Fjord Cat) Fjord Skibsholding III A/S (MS Stavangerfjord) Fjord Skibsholding IV A/S (MS Bergensfjord) Fjord Line Danmark A/S (Operational mgmt and staffing) Fjord Line GmbH (European sales) Hirtshals LNG A/S Liquiline LNG AS Fjord Line AS - Commercial management Fjord Skibsholding - Ship owners Fjord Line Danmark A/S - Operational management and staffing Hirtshals LNG A/S - Currently empty company, but plan to buy LNG tank to be used as an alternative for bunkering in Hirtshals Fjord Line GmbH - Sales company for the European market

6 Four routes offered in Scandinavia Bergen Stavanger Hirtshals Offers daily departures with the two new vessels MS Bergensfjord and MS Stavangerfjord The ships offer modern facilities of all kinds including a variety of restaurants, cafés, bars, shopping areas and other services for course and conference guests Each of the two ships has a length of 170 meters, which is designed to withstand North Sea waves, and the ships will give their passengers a comfortable and stable voyage The journey takes 17 hours Langesund Hirtshals Offers daily departures with the two new vessels MS Bergensfjord and MS Stavangerfjord. The journey takes 4.5 hours Kristiansand Hirtshals Operated by HSC Fjord Cat with three daily departures during the summer months. The journey takes 2.25 hours Sandefjord Strömstad Two daily departures from 20 June The journey takes 2.5 hours and is operated by MS Oslofjord MS Oslofjord was converted and renovated at STX shipyard with a complete upgrade of its appearance and design On board the ship there is a large tax free shop with a wide selection of goods along with a varied selection of restaurants, bars and cafés

7 Fleet of four modern vessels MS Stavangerfjord MS Bergensfjord MS Oslofjord HSC Fjord Cat Built 2013 Max # pax 1,500 Cabins 306 Vehicle transport 600 cars Tonnage 31,678 BRT Length 170 m Cruise speed 21.5 knots Fuel LNG Shopping area 500 m² Built 2014 Max # pax 1,500 Cabins 306 Vehicle transport 600 cars Tonnage 31,678 BRT Length 170 m Cruise speed 21.5 knots Fuel LNG Shopping area 500 m² Built 1993/ Max # pax 1,800 Cabins - Vehicle transport 370 cars Tonnage 17,851 BRT Length m Cruise speed 17 knots Fuel Heavy fuel Shopping area 1,100 m² Built 1998 Max # pax 676 Cabins - Vehicle transport Tonnage 180 cars+4 buses BRT Length 91.3 m Cruise speed 40 knots Fuel MGO Shopping area 122 m² MS Stavangerfjord and MS Bergensfjord have a modern design and are wellequipped Specially designed for North Sea conditions Equipped with a propulsion system that reduces fuel consumption Antifouling providing good progress without negative environ. effects No visible exhaust from the propulsion systemh Heat recovery system for utilization of waste heat and the SCR system on auxiliary engines converting NOx to nitrogen and water MS Oslofjord has recently been modified and upgraded and appears as a new ship Large shopping area makes the ship suitable for the route between Sandefjord and Strömstad HSC Fjord Cat offers shortest travel time Norway Denmark Limited wear as the ship is only used during the summer months

9 Why LNG??

10 Emision control areas

11 Environment Regulations Protection of our enviroment, new regulations Marpol I - V: Allready in use ( Oil, Sawage, garbage etc. ) MARPOL Annex VI: Air Pollusion, in process from New standard for shipping after 2015 New NoX rules in Norway from 2006

14 Section 3

15 Fjord Line s LNG decision process Fjord Line became member of the Nox fund in 2007 The first and only international ferry company (Norway-EU) Main reason is the route between Stavanger and Bergen Planning of new ships started in people from top managent defined the «dreamship» september 2009 Contract signed with Bergen Group Fosen Plans for «dual fuel «MAN machines, But we change very quickly til single fuel engines fra Rolls Royce

16 Alternatives evaluated Scrubber, diesel Scrubber High investment New technology Bunkers increase of approx. 3-4% Diesel Bunkers cost increase 30-40% or LNG Environment friendly Space for LNG tanks possible Cost effective Less maintainance Almost no sediments in machines Financial support from NOX fund & Ten-T LNG price development? Bunkering facilities? Bunkering with guests onboard? Scrubber There is great discussion arround Open and Closed Loop!!!!!!!

17 LNG in shipping First larger ship with LNG: Algeria i 1962 (51 år)

18 Norway leading within LNG Research / testing LNG machines since 1980 First small ferry started with LNG in 2000 Good availability of LNG in Norway 34 LNG ships in operation in Norway 2012

19 Bunkering alternatives

20 Bunkringsplan Risavika - Pipes in the ground from the LNG factory to the ship - Safest and most energy efficient LNG bunkering possible in the world today

21 LNG Bunkering in Hirtshals Our new tank

22 First and only large cruise ferries in the world powered solely on LNG MS Stavangerfjord and MS Bergensfjord are the first of the large cruise ferries powered solely by LNG Benefits compared to heavy oil: Estimated cost reduction of 20% CO2 emissions reduced by 23% Emissions of sulfur and particles reduced with 100% Emissions of NOx reduced by 90% Reduced maintenance In addition, the improved hull design and propulsion system reduced bunker consumption by 6-8% Fjord Line is the only cruise operator expected to benefit from stricter environmental regulations for shipping in Northern Europe from 2015 New NOx/SOx emission requirements will mean that ships operated on heavy oil will have to install "scrubbers" or switch to marine diesel oil (MDO), which is more expensive MS Stavangerfjord and MS Bergensfjord are equipped with LNG powered engines that have emission levels well below the requirements. Further, HSC Fjord Cat is operating on marine gas oil and will as such not be affected by the new requirement

23 Section 4 23

24 Main challenges LNG Operational LNG knowledge Fjord Line Bunkering facilities Legal infrastructure Norway and Denmark DSB / regulations Bunkering with passengers onboard Bunkering while unloading and loading guests / cargo Finalizing efficient bunkering solutions Pipe directly from factory to the ship Backup tanks in Hirtshals

25 Section 5 Confidential

26 Ports and authorities Danish ports do not reward green operation Most Norwegian ports makes this Ports need to organize the infrastructure of LNG Authorities must ensure good and efficient processing Payment in Danish ports due to ESI score, to ensure green operation. THE ENVIRONMENTAL SHIP INDEX

27 Section 6 Confidential

28 ROPAX and RORO rutes in The Baltics

29 Future Number of RORO and ROPAX rutes will decrease The use of LNG will increase It is impossible to guess on the fuel prices but Fjord Line believe that LNG do not increase at the same level as heavy Fuel and Marine Diesel The first LNG operator will have the opportunity to sell LNG to other shipowners FJORD LINE IS READY THIS YEAR!!!!!
