CONFERENCE ON LNG FOR TRANSPORT

ITALY AND MEDITERRANEAN AREA

3rd CONFERENZA GNLMethanizing the Mediterranean Area

Strategies and visions on LNG as fuel

Rome, 11 - 12 June 2015

Alessandro Fino – Managing Director

SSLNG: 2015 European LNG terminals overview...

European Framework

• Since 1st January 2015 stringent sulphur emission standards took

effect in the Baltic area;

• Many shipowners active in the North Sea are looking into switching

to LNG in order to be in compliance. Some players have already

ordered new ships (GDF SUEZ, Mitsubishi and NYK- Nippon Yusen

Kabushiki Kaisha, have placed an order for an LNG bunker vessel

that will start operating in 2016 from its home port of Zeebrugge).

• 3th March 2015 European Commissions' study on LNG as a

shipping fuel shows industry's support. The results show that

stakeholders recognize the environmental advantages of LNG as a

shipping fuel, but are still uncertain whether they offer a clear

business case.

"This study gives us a solid overview of the opportunities and

remaining challenges for the use of LNG for shipping. More

importantly: the outcome helps us to feed a public debate on LNG

for shipping and provides arguments for a stakeholder debate at

local level." said European Commission.

The study takes into account the overall EU policy aiming at reductions

of emissions from shipping and looking for alternative energy sources,

in view of growing constraints on the use of heavy fuels.

Zeebrugge Terminal (Belgium)

LNG for maritime transport

• Four LNG-powered inland navigation vessels are currently supplied

via tanker trucks that take on LNG at the LNG terminal in Zeebrugge

(truck-to-ship bunkering).

• A second jetty (it will be commissioned end of 2015) is under

construction at the LNG terminal in Zeebrugge. It has been specially

designed to also accommodate LNG bunker vessels, i.e. small LNG

ships that load LNG and supply it to LNG-powered ships (ship-to-ship

bunkering) or deliver it to small LNG bunker terminals in other ports.

• The Zeebrugge Port Authority is finalizing its LNG ship bunkering

procedures for the Port of Zeebrugge and the accreditation of LNG

bunker vessels.

LNG for trucks

• Fluxys is actively involved in developing LNG refuelling infrastructure

for long-haul trucks.

• Its first filling station recently opened in Veurne. This is the second

LNG filling station in Belgium. The first one opened in Kallo (near

Antwerp) a few months earlier.

• The filling station in Veurne is co-funded by the EU.


Zeebrugge Terminal (Fluxy’s web site)

Gate Terminal (the Netherlands)• Gate terminal to be expanded with harbour basin for small scale LNG

with a maximum capacity of 280 berthing slots per year.

• New infrastructure will enable distribution of LNG as low emission fuel

alternative to transporters all over Europe. Port of Rotterdam has

started works for new multi-user LNG break bulk facility

• Commissioning and commencement of the first services scheduled

towards the end of H1 2016

• Small-scale services aim to split up large-scale LNG shipments into

smaller parcels. This enables the distribution and use of LNG as a

cleaner fuel alternative for maritime vessels, ferries, trucks and

industrial applications.

• The Port of Rotterdam Authority is involved in this project with the

design and construction of a dedicated harbour basin for LNG break

bulk operations and has already introduced new regulations that allow

LNG bunkering for inland barges and ship-to-ship bunkering of

seagoing vessels.

Grain LNG Terminal (UK)• On 13th March 2015 Grain set to offer UK's first Break Bulk service

• Service could be available from 2016 if customers show interest

• First facility in UK to offer Small Scale Ship Reloading

• Customers will benefit from wider LNG distribution opportunities.

SSLNG: What about Italy?

First “pilot projects”

� On 16 May 2014 the first truck to ship transfer took place in Civitavecchia port

where 36 m3 of LNG have been transferred to M/T Bokn tug

� Different industrial utilization plant have been designed and built by Liquigas to

use LNG as fuel in the production process (Speziali MN, Acque Minerali di

Calizzano SV, Vis SO): currently the LNG supplying such plants comes from

Marsiglia and/or Barcelona

� March 2015, 3A milk plant in Sardinia is producing its own power with an LNG

power plant

� April 2015 Gautier, first Italian LNG ferry built by Fincantieri reached Canada after

successful trial in Castellamare di Stabia

� Discussions about how to methanize Sardinia island are ongoing with the related

development of onshore storage facilities. This could lead to develop a huge LNG

market: this scenario will definitely trigger and create a solid base for the

development of the bunkering LNG business at least in the Tyrrhenian sea area

To develop a sustainable market it is necessary to define a stable and

clear regulation plan for bunkering operations and define clear measures

(emission reductions, fiscal regime etc...) for the use of LNG for transport

SSLNG: Key Factors in the Logistic Model

Coastal deposit Trucks/Trains/ISO containers (50-

80 m3)

The main infrastructures onshore and

offshore can receive the LNG carriers

from the suppliers

Transport

Industrial or civil facilities

REGASIFICATION TERMINALS

TRANSPORT END USERS

Mini LNG carriers (1000-30000 m3 )

Bunker barges (400-1000 m3 )

SSLNG: Key Factors in the Logistic Model

• LNG Pricing vs Availability of alternatives

• MARKET LNG DEMAND GROWTH

• ENVIROMENTAL IMPACTS (CO2, SOx, NOx, particles and noise emissions)

• INFRASTRUCTURES (existing terminals to be modified; vessels and/or barges to

be built; bunker locations; relevant costs)

• FISCAL REGIME and PERMITTING PROCESS

• EUROPEAN STRATEGY AND FUNDING ( e.g. LNG Blue Corridors project; CEF)

• STANDARDIZATION of LNG transfer processes (both marine and land

transportation)

KEY FACTORS WITH SSLNG

Map of Four European LNG Blue Corridors

All the above KEY FACTORS will have different impacts due to

different local infrastructure availability

Potential demand for maritime LNG

During 2015 OLT concluded a preliminary feasibility study to identify the capability of the terminal to performthe transfer of the LNG to LNG shuttle carriers and the consequent modifications needed. The study was co-financed by European Union through the “SEA Terminal project” in cooperation with Valencia PortFoundation and Livorno Port Authority under the supervision of MIT.

The terminal will be able to receive Small LNG carriers with the following characteristic:

• Mini LNGC between a cargo capacity between 1,000 m3 to 7,500 m3

• Mini LNGC Length: between 60 m to 110 m

• Loading rate between 250 m3 and 900 m3 (the timing is the same requested for bigger LNG carriers)

• Manifold in accordance to OCIMF recommendation

• ESD in accordance to SIGTTO recommendation.

About FSRU Toscana Terminal:

• Minor modifications will allow to perform the transfer of LNG from port side

• Purchase of new cryogenic hoses, reducers, fenders etc…

• Detailed engineering study will follow upon market request

• A new permitting and authorization assessment will be necessary

The estimated time required for the above activitie s and to make the bunkering services available to the market is at least one/two year(s)
