ADVANCING LNG FOR CLEANER MARINE

1 WE SEA A BETTER PATH

2 ADVANCING LNG FOR CLEANER MARINE Gas4Sea is setting a new direction in the maritime sector by advancing liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel via ship-to-ship transfer. Under new emission regulations, LNG offers environmental, regulatory and economic advantages over conventional marine fuels. What s more, because it is readily available and affordable, LNG is now the most viable alternative fuel to drive emission reduction within the shipping sector. Gas4Sea is backed by leading global players in the LNG and shipping industries: ENGIE, Mitsubishi Corporation and NYK Line. They hold more than 50 years experience in LNG operation. Thanks to NYK s shipping expertise, and the combined LNG supply portfolio and terminal access of ENGIE and Mitsubishi Corporation, Gas4Sea can guarantee a reliable, safe and cost-effective supply of LNG to shipping customers around the globe.

4 LNG DELIVERS BENEFITS FOR ALL TYPES OF VESSELS Service vessels (tugs, dredgers, PSV) Passenger vessels (ROPAX, cruise ships) General cargo ships (container ships)

5 Offshore vessels (crane vessels, drilling rigs, production platforms) Car carriers (RORO) Tankers (oil/chemical tankers) WHY CHOOSE LNG VIA SHIP-TO-SHIP TRANSFER FROM GAS4SEA? Safety Our demanding procedures, developed through 50 years of experience, mean that we have an outstanding track record of safety. Speed Using ship-to-ship transfer means that we can fuel-up the largest of vessels quickly and efficiently. The transfer can even happen during the customer cargo operations to minimise down time.* *Subject to safety requirements in the port Quality The quality of LNG we supply and the quantity of energy delivered is rigorously tested and monitored. Availability Gas4Sea gives access to the LNG portfolios of both ENGIE and Mitsubishi Corporation, representing 356 TWh (23.8 mtpa) from 12 different countries, with more projects in the pipeline. Environment LNG as marine fuel significantly reduces emissions from engine exhaust compared to conventional oil-based fuels. It enables ship operators to comply with the growingly stringent maritime emissions regulations.

6 PREPARE FOR A GREENER FUTURE Emission Controlled Areas The International MARPOL Convention has set up a calendar for limiting the main pollutants contained in ship exhausts. In January 2015, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) drastically reduced the emission limit for ships in Emission Controlled Areas (ECAs). (ECAs established under MARPOL Annex VI are coastal areas off North America for nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides and particulate matter, and the North Sea and Baltic Sea areas for sulphur oxides). With a sulphur cap of 0.1%, ships operating in ECAs must now use fuels with lower sulphur content such as LNG or limit sulphur emissions by installing desulphurisation equipment. A new global cap on SOx Outside the ECAs, the IMO is set to enforce a global cap of 0.5% for sulphur oxide emissions for all ships by 2020 or 2025*. Furthermore, we see local government and authorities declaring implementation of regional emission regulated zones outside the MARPOL s ECAs, even prior to enforcement of the global cap. *Subject to a review by IMO on fuel availability to be completed by % global cap for sulphur oxide emissions for bunkers for all ships by 2020 or 2025 Current ECAs Possible future ECAs The requirement is for vessels with a keel-laying date after January 2016, and engine output >= 130 kw

7 GUARANTEED QUALITY CONTROL AND SAFETY Guaranteed quality control At Gas4Sea, we draw from the best practices and guidelines from the LNG industry to control quality and to determine the fuel quantity required by each customer. Safety without compromise Backed up by companies with 50 years of safety track-records in LNG operation, Gas4Sea experts can guarantee safety when supplying LNG as fuel to all types of vessels. We will work closely with you to create an operational procedure that meets your vessel specification while complying with all regulatory requirements. We will also coordinate with the local authority to gain any required permits. Step 1 The LNG volume is measured in the tanks before and after the transfer, together with the temperature of the vapour and of the LNG. Step 2 A gas chromatograph on board the bunkering vessel provides the average composition for the LNG being delivered. Step 3 The net amount of fuel delivered is calculated at the end of the bunkering operation, and a bunker delivery note is provided to the captain of the vessel.
