LNG as fuel is still a young technology today First non gas carrier with LNG: 2000 2-stroke engine available: late 2012 (MAN), mid 2014 (Wartsila) First bunker ships available: 2016 (seven ships on order) IMO IGF-Code for LNG and CNG Adopted at IMO MSC-95, 12 of June 2015 In force: 2017 70 vessels running, 80 vessels are ordered (August 2015) 5
LNG supply for ships Pipeline gas coming from large distances will not be used as LNG ship fuel To much energy loss: liquefiers need 6 to 10% of the energy in the produced LNG to liquefy natural gas (same energy is needed for 1000 to 1500 km pipeline transport) Import terminals can supply bunker ships (size will be between 1000 to 8000 m**3 LNG and may be above) Export terminals only can supply free production capacity For sustainable business (after start up period and market building phase) a bunker supplier has to sell LNG with a competitive supply surcharge 2 to 3 $/mmbtu seem to be possible (6000 to 8000 m**3 bunker sold per week) A bunker ship may operate 200 to 300 sm around a supply terminal Is there enough possibility for supply in the Mediterranean? 6
LNG supply for ships is possible from LNG import terminals - import terminals in the Mediterranean - 7

How many ships can use LNG as fuel in the Meditarranean More than 10.000 ships operate in the Mediterranean. A large no is crossing and operate also in other areas. Approx. 1.200 operate permanently in the Mediterranean Only these ships can supplied the whole year with LNG from terminals in the Mediterranean 11
Ships operating more than 90% of the year in the Mediterranean 75 % of all ships are up to 30 years old; L < 30 m: 86%; 30 < L < 100 m: 68%; L > 100 m: 84% 25% of all ships are older than 30 years 59 % of ships are up to 20 years old approx. 500 ships are older than 20 years 12
What ship types operate permanently in the Mediterranean? 25% of all ships above 30 m length are passenger ships/ferries (30 % of L> 100 m) 40 % of all ships above 30 m length are dry cargo (18%), container (6%) and tanker (16%) ships 13

The biggest market segment are Passenger ships/ferries 281 Passenger ships/ferries operating only in the Mediterranean 164 ships above 100 m length, 117 ships between 30 and 100 m length Similar distribution of building dates in ships below and above 100 m length: 77 % of all ships are up to 30 years old; 50 % are up to 20 years old approx 140 ships are older than 20 years 15
How many passenger ship/ferries may operate on LNG as fuel? Newbuilding rate in passenger ships: 7,3 ships/a average over for the last 30 years; (1986/1995: 7.8; 1996/2005:10.0; 2006/2015: 4,1) 23 to 24 LNG fuelled passenger ships/ferries are possible (if all newbuildings from 2017 onwards are LNG fuelled). Higher number possible if ships built before 1996 are replaced by newbuildings with LNG (49% =140 ships) 16

LNG as ship fuel has the potential to improve the environmental footprint of ships significantly LNG is the only alternative fuel which is world wide available within the next decades and which can compete in fuel price with oil based fuels In a developed market LNG distribution costs will be on a level which keeps LNG competitive to oil based fuel The low oil price lead to a competition between LNG and HFO+Scrubber with both fuel solution on the same level with regard to overall costs. The international acceptance of LNG as fuel has been demonstrated by IMO with the preparation and adoption of the IMO IGF Code in June 2015 With 70 ships running and 80 on order the practical prove for LNG as fuel has been done The technology for propulsion, storage and bunkering of LNG as fuel is available on the market now With 7 bunker vessels on order the infrastructure for LNG supply starts to become available in the years to come 18
