3 Pillars LNG Fuel Vessels ENVIRONMENT SUSTAINABILITY ECONOMICS SAFE & RELIABLE Proven LNG systems... reduce risk for yard, owner, & banker... extends LNG value proposition to end customer 07 October 2014
Pillar... Environmental Sustainability Natural gas a mixture of hydrocarbon gases associated with petroleum deposits, principally methane. Methane has the highest hydrogen to carbon ratio = lowest CO2. Methane [CH 4 ] Ethane [C 2 H 6 ] Propane [C 3 H 8 ] Butane [C 4 H 10 ] 4:1 (400%) 6:2 (300%) 8:3 (267%) 10:4 (250%) Natural gas lowest MGO carbon 1.86:1 (186%) = cleanest burning fuel
How clean? LNG provides significant emission reductions compared to traditional diesel engines -25% -85% Emission values [%] 100 80 60 40 CO 2 NO x -99% 20 SO x -99% Particulates DF Natural Gas Engine Diesel Engine 0
Pillar Logic Economics... it! saves money! LNG provides compelling savings Business Cases demonstrate Payback screen short term <5 years... Strong cash flows Higher ROIC & EBITDA Competitive Advantage 07/10/2014
Fuel Prices on Energy Basis $ / mmbtu 30 20 10 0 380 cst HFO 1% MGO 0.1% diesel LNG Japan LNG Europe Fuel price dominates OPEX America s gas is Abundant, available, affordable, & cleanest fuel LNG USA 07 October 2014
How much does LNG cost? Source: Zeus LNG Fuel Seminar, August 31, 2011 Houston; Fleet Operators Perspective: Issues the LNG Industry Must Address, David Moseley, Assist Secretary Washington State DOT The Math LNG x 1.7 = Diesel Gallon Equivalent = $1.05 x 1.7 = $ 1.78 gallon diesel equivalent = savings ( $3.37 - $1.78 ) = $ 1.58 per gallon LNG captures compelling fuel savings. nearly half cost of diesel

Emission Control Areas More Emission Control Areas ECA likely soon
ECA Vessel Owner Choices 1. Consume compliant Ultra Low Sulfur Distillate expensive champagne fuel 2. Switch to alternative fuel: safe, clean, abundant, affordable, & available natural gas as LNG 3. Alternative Compliance install new technology scrubber CAPEX, OPEX, space, weight, complexity, & operational tradeoffs 4. Abort the Port ECA and SECA mandates force timely choices options 1,4 invoke business reset LNG OPEX Savings 07 October 2014
