2 Enel Group Enel is Italy's largest power company, and Europe's second listed utility by installed capacity. It is an integrated player which produces, distributes and sells electricity and gas. The Enel Group has a presence in 40 countries over 4 continents, has around 96,000 MW of net installed capacity and sells power and gas to more than 61 million customers. Mission Our mission is to create and distribute value in the international energy market We serve the community, respecting the environment and the safety of individuals, with a commitment to creating a better world for future generations Values Wherever we are present, our ethical goal is to behave like good citizens of the world serving all clients and stakeholders, in the 40 countries where we operate

3 Environmental & Safety Policy Environmental Policy Basic Principles: Environmental protection, labor safety and health environmental and product quality improvement Strategic Objectives: disclosure and transparency towards citizens and institutions on the Company's environmental management encourage suppliers and contractors to undertake sustainable environmental practices Code of Ethics Enel adopted the code of ethics which regulates also the environmental issues. Safety and Environmental policy is implemented at all level in the Group.

4 Fuel Department Fuel Fuel is a department of Generation and Energy Management division. It provides fuels (Coal, Fuel Oils, biomass) maritime and logistic services for power plant stations. The fuels mainly coal (~ 24Mt per year) are transported from Indonesia, South Africa, South America and USA. Every year Enel uses about 300 ships (from Cape to Handy size types) Main routes of Enel vessels Coal Liquids & Biomass Shipping Logistics & Storages Contracts Mngt, & Vetting Environmental and safety policies are implemented by Enel also through Marine Risk control by Vetting services aimed to promote safety and best marine practices and to mitigate risks from using substandard ships. Risks arising from using substandard ships include: Undue delays and costs while the ship is inspected in port Falling foul of regulators Rising insurance costs Vessel Vetting & Quality Assurance Casualties - from delays through to total loss - which carry severe commercial, human and environmental costs

5 Enel Trade Vetting system Many industry bodies, governments and stakeholders within the shipping which have been working since long time to develop stringent standard and requirements to control and mitigate the risk. In addition to international standards and regulatory requirements, major players (mainly Oil and Chemical Companies) have put in place additional controls to reduce marine risk. The marine risk assessment made by Vetting Department has became over the recent years the new approach while assessing the quality ships and suitability for a specific task. It is the best way to match available vessels to the operational requirements of the voyage and the need to properly manage risk. On the 2000 Enel Trade started the Vetting activity and became member of OCIMF (Oil Company International Marine Forum). On the 2003 ENEL has implemented and applied, as pioneer in the industry, the vetting process also in the Drybulk sector with the aim of apply same risk assessment process as already done in tankers. A Vessel Selection Policy for Bulk Carrier and Tanker has been issued, with guidelines for the assessment process and details of Minimum expected Safety Criteria for vessel carrying Enel cargoes and/or chartered for long time period. The Policy is governing the ship acceptance clauses in the Enel Standard C/P Ships 3200 Screening details 800 Inspection details The Vetting system accounts records for

6 A focus on the supply chain: many players in the dry sector and only few vetting oriented Business Case Mining company / Suppliers Port Authority / Terminals Ship Technical Managers / Disp Owners / Charters (voyage, time) Receivers Many Disponent Owners in the chains (most of them not Traditional Shipping company) looking at economics rather than to quality standard of the tonnage. The dry cargo ships still seen as not risky or even not pollutant Unwillingness to comply and adhere to best practice ( cfr ISM code 1.2.3) Marine risk assessment and Vetting for dry vessels not yet regulated, less structured or even not used by most of players. Except on very few cases, most of the players are not operating as Vetting companies, therefore they look for technical approval/advise provided by external/independent firms. Requests for technical approval of ship have grown within the market, especially after the expansion of online vetting service providers. RightShip is one of the most known web-based online vetting service.

7 Dry Cargo Vetting system VS Tanker Vetting System (difference between a traditional screening on tankers and the screening of dry carriers) Similarity Vetting process takes into account a number of factors: Owner, Ship Technical operators performance (fleet), Casualty, Port state control, Environmental incidents, Class history, Technical inspections On board Crew complement (officers matrix) is part of the key factors assessed Vetting process takes into account a number of factors: Owner, Ship Technical operators performance (fleet), Casualty, Port state control, Environmental incidents, Class history, Technical inspections On board Crew complement (officers matrix) is part of the key factors assessed Dry Vetting Tanker Vetting Difference In the standard case a ship inspection report would be not available. Risk assessment is done by Vetting analyst each and every time. Strict focus and deep analysis on: class history parent fleet performance SMS procedures and onboard implementation management of change SIRE inspection report / VPQ are always available to support the ship appraisal through an automatic or traditional (manual) risk assessment.

8 Enel Vetting System VS Rightship online Vetting systems (a small focus on the activity) The risk assessment in Dry bulk is in standard condition not supported by physical inspection reports like SIRE for tanker ships. Similarity Enel System Vetting process takes into account a number of factors: Owner, Ship Technical operators performance (fleet), Casualty, Port state control, Environmental incidents, Class history, Technical inspections Rightship Vetting process takes into account a number of factors: Owner, Ship Technical operators performance (fleet), Casualty, Port state control, Environmental incidents, Class history, Technical inspections Difference Risk assessment is done by Vetting analyst each and every time. On board Crew complement (officers matrix) is part of the key factors assessed The Class status is evaluated each and every time The 25%-30% of chartered vessels are Technically inspected (fleet/ship of interest, frequently employed, follow up, after negative performance) Risk rating is obtained automatically through specific software (SVIS) Vetting specialist analysis is done only in case of low automatic rating. Technical Inspection is carried out on voluntary basis or in consequence of exceptional negative cases (Casualty, PSC detention, incidents) The absence of recent or negative records (Port sate inspections, incident) might theoretically lead to consider a ship recommendable even without any information on the crew on board or even ignoring the ship is undergoing a dry-dock repairs Using a brand new ship does not necessarily reduce the risk of using a poor managed ship This are the most common false perception of many dry bulk stake holders

11 Areas of Concerns frequently observed issues during screening and inspection activities No safety oriented or not proactive to implement best marine practice Management of Change process not monitored Safety Management system not structured and/or tailored to ship needs (few generic instructions) No extra training provided to crew and officers Recruitment and indoctrination/familiarization process not well established and monitored Unsatisfactory monitoring of SMS implementation and overall ship performance (safety, maintenance, preparedness, language barrier and English proficiency) Safety inspection and internal audit program not satisfactory Bridge team management and standard of navigation very poor (appraisal, planning, execution and monitoring, navigation charts management, etc) Non conformity and close-out management process ineffective and/or unsatisfactory (incident / accident / near miss investigation and management)
