6 40 ISO LNG Tank Container ISO LNG tank container: IMDG container to use existing container infrastructure IGC compliant Type C tank to allow use onboard as shipboard fuel bunker Well insulated to ensure long holding time Dry break-away coupling to prevent LNG spills in case of accidental removal from the container stack 6

7 LNG Container Logistics Container filling station at LNG terminal Rail or road Rail or road Container terminal near filling station Container feeder Container terminal near bunker port Container feeder Rail or road Bunker Port / Container Terminal End user 7

8 Bunkering v/s Containers Bunkering: LNG transfer with spill risk; most LNG incidents have occurred during LNG cargo handling LNG bunkering permission in port Containerized LNG: No transfer of LNG Handling of IMDG containers is standard practice in container ports Uses existing multi-modal infrastructure 8

27 Regulatory Drivers for LNG Emissions regulations driven shift to cleaner fuels: IMO : EU: SO x MEPC 58 Regulation 14 NO x MEPC 58 Regulation 13 SO x Directive 2005/33/EC (aligned with IMO Sulphur Tiers) NO x Directive 97/68/EC and Directive 2004/26/EC: Tier I for newbuildings from 2000 Tier II for newbuildings from 2011 Tier III to be applied in ECA s from 2016, Tier II will be applicable outside these areas 27

28 Regulatory Framework Marine Emission Regulations In force Regulation Description Authority Area Vessels 1 Jan /33/EC Fuel Sulphur content < 0.1% in EU ports & waterways 1 Jul 2010 IMO Annex VI Fuel Sulphur content < 1.0% in SECAs 1 Jan 2011 IMO Annex VI NO x emissions reduced to Tier II limits, approx. 20% below Tier I limits EU EU All IMO SECA 1 All IMO Global Newbuildings 1 Jan 2012 IMO Annex VI Fuel Sulphur content < 3.5% IMO Global All 1 Jan 2015 IMO Annex VI Fuel Sulphur content < 0.1% in SECAs 1 Jan 2016 IMO Annex VI NO x emissions reduced to Tier III limits, approx. 75% below Tier II limits IMO SECA All IMO ECA 2 Newbuildings 1 Jan IMO Annex VI Fuel Sulphur content < 0.5% IMO Global All 1 SECA is Sulphur Emission Control Area 2 ECA is Emission Control Area 3 Subject to a technical review to be concluded 2013 this date could be delayed 28

31 Agenda Introduction Marine Service GmbH LNG Fuel Tank Container LNG Fuel Tank Container applications The drivers behind the LNG Fuel Tank Container LNG price and availability Summary 31

32 LNG Pricing Approximate LNG fuel cost (30 Oct 2012): Europe (TTF): USD / MMBTU Mark-up for LNG seller: 20% Logistics & bunkering: USD 5.00 / MMBTU Total LNG fuel cost: USD / MMBTU Bunker fuel prices Rotterdam: IFO-380: USD 597 / ton USD / MMBTU MGO: USD 958 / ton USD / MMBTU 32

33 LNG in Europe LNG in Europe Hamburg 33

34 LNG Container Filling LNG container filling: Fluxys LNG in Zeebrugge operates a truck filling facility with a capability of 4,000 trucks per year Gate LNG in Rotterdam will have truck / container filling capability in 2014 Large scale LNG import terminals in the Mediterranean and small scale LNG plants in Norway have truck filling capacity 34

35 Well, It s Not All Good News Additional space losses: Cylindrical LNG storage tank shape Tank insulation Additional bulkheads, void spaces, access trunks, vents, etc. LNG could require up to 3-4 times as much space as MDO for the same amount of energy Fuel Comparison LNG to MDO LHV [MJ/kg] Density [kg/m 3 ] Energy density [MJ/m 3 ] MDO ,430 LNG ,028 MDO/LNG energy density ratio:

36 And What s More. LNG requires higher CAPEX for storage and distribution than traditional residual and distillate fuels LNG has BOG issues that require attention Most of LNG related accidents happened during LNG handling Release of un-combusted Methane contributes to Green House Effect times more strongly than CO 2 36

37 Container Holding Time More than 90 days holding time of container in store 37

39 Summary LNG technology is available and mature LNG as marine fuel is the only technically well-proven marine emissions legislation compliance strategy Distribution and storage infrastructure for LNG as marine fuel will be a major challenge and cost driver LNG Fuel Tank Container is a quickly implementable LNG as marine fuel solution that circumvents the LNG distribution issue by using existing container distribution infrastructure 39
