3 ADVANCING TRADE ALONG THE RIVER NETWORK Trafigura is playing a key role in the supply of petroleum products to southern Latin America by investing in critical logistical assets and infrastructure along the Paraguay-Paraná waterway. The Paraguay-Paraná waterway is one of South America s most important transnational river networks running through Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay Brazil and Bolivia. The river network has become a significant economic development area and a key enabler of domestic and international trade. In 2014, the Trafigura Group took over a regional investment programme worth up to USD450 million to supply fuel to Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia via the Paraná and Paraguay rivers. The project brings together the capabilities of our industrial investment Puma Energy, the midstream and downstream fuel supplier, as well as our wholly owned logistics subsidiary Impala Terminals, which owns and operates ports, port terminals, storage facilities and transport assets for dry and liquid bulk cargoes, general cargo and containers. The Paraguay-Paraná waterway project not only demonstrates the Group s long-term commitment to the markets of southern Latin America but also its vision for the region s economic growth. Our storage and shipment terminals along both of the rivers combined with our modern fleet have now created a transport corridor of over 2,780 kilometres. 3

6 FLUVIAL LOGISTICS FOR RELIABLE SUPPLY We have invested more than USD450 million in creating a reliable fluvial logistics corridor where we currently supply petroleum products to Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia. Our fleet is deployed along the 2,000-kilometre route. It replaces costly ship to barge transfers and provides a more efficient and cost-effective alternative to overland transport. The journey commences in Argentina, where Trafigura s newly built Campana Terminal is the base for loading operations. Operated under Petromining SA, the 150-hectare area has 12 storage tanks with a total of capacity of 145,000m 3 (rising to 251,00m 3 in a second phase) and 625,000 tonnes for minerals, iron and coal. Its purpose-built river jetty along the 670 metres of shoreline can handle up to four barges at a time. Two piers can berth ocean ships and six positions are available for cargo trucks. Gas oil, diesel fuel, jet fuel, gasoline and naphtha products are moved by a modern fluvial fleet of pushers and double-hull barges operated and chartered by Impala Terminals and discharged in multiple locations along both rivers. On the return trip, the same network is leveraged for export shipments of soy bean oil from Paraguay to Argentina. Impala Paraguay has a total of 27 barges and four pushers in operation along the waterway. The new infrastructure and logistics have opened a critical two-way artery for growing trade along the land-locked route. The potential extends to the entire area where the Trafigura Group has a growing footprint of assets and distribution networks. 6

8 A MODERN FLEET OF BARGES TO SUPPORT GROWTH Impala s convoy along the waterway comprises seven barges and a pusher, a configuration which allows the transportation of 16,000m 3 of liquid products per month. Safety is integral to maintaining the high standard of operations: All equipment meets the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) standards. Pushers are fitted with modern navigation and night operation equipment. Barges are fitted with alarm systems to alert crew members when the barge reaches 95 percent capacity in order to prevent overflow and any spillage. GPS monitoring systems report the exact position of each barge and the quantity of product in its hull at any time of the day. All crews are 100 percent locally hired and receive comprehensive training and monitoring. The company is further strengthening its capabilities along the route by growing its fleet as traded volumes increase. Impala currently has 27 barges and four pushers for a total investment of USD100 million. An additional seventy employees will be hired in 2017 and based in Asuncion and Montevideo to support our growing operations in the region. 27 Barges in operations 21,000m 3 Of product can be moved each month per convoy $100m Projected investment in new barges 70 Additional employees by end of 2017 AN EXPERT IN MULTIMODAL LOGISTICS Impala has a strong track record in Latin America, with state-of-the-art facilities across eleven countries. In 2015 it invested USD2.02 billion in the region. In Colombia, Impala owns and operates a fleet of over 120 double-hulled liquid barges and 17 barge pushers for the transportation of bulk cargoes and containerised products, including oil and its derivatives, coal, coke, bulk, break-bulk, containers and project and oversized cargo. This multimodal network operating along the Magdalena River links multiple inland areas of oil production to Impala s new river terminal in Barrancabermeja, and onward to international ports at Barranquilla and Cartagena. 8
