The MAGALOG Project LNG-fueled shipping in the Baltic Sea
We need to make maritime traffic more environmentally friendly
A demand from the UN, EU, local ports and cities and the planet in general
LNG-fuel is one solution
Lower emissions Good economy Cleaner air in harbour and cities
The chicken and egg-problem:
No LNG-terminals no LNG-ships
No LNG-ships no LNG-terminals
So where do we start?
The MAGALOG project A collaboration to get past this problem
MAGALOG an acrynom for MAritime GAs LOgistics

Objectives: To create a small scale LNG network in the Baltic Sea
Objectives: To create a small scale LNG network in the Baltic Sea To promote the use of LNG
We believe: In 5-10 years the majority of ships contracted for short sea trades will use LNG as a fuel
Why change to LNG?
For environmental reasons
Maritime traffic is a major contributor to air pollution
Stricter global limitations ahead
International Marine Organisation a spesialized agency of the United Nations Global Sulphur limitations - Global cap from 3,5% to 0,5%, effective from January 1, 2009 Global NOx limitations - 20% reduction of today s limits for new ships after 1. January 2011
European Union Adressing air pollution by ships is a part of an overall drive for development for the quality shipping
SECA SECA (Sulphur Emission Control Area) in the Baltic Sea (2006) and the North Sea (2007) only permit a maximum content of 1.5% sulphur in ships fuels. Other areas, such as the Mediterranean, are set to follow.
LNG vs diesel: Reduced emissions
For economic reasons
New taxes make LNG cost effective NOX levy in Norway of 15 kr/kg. The levy is scheduled to increase.
For availability reasons
Supplies from a number of sources Wales Melkøya 4,1 m tpy Bergen 140.000 tpy Stavanger 300.000 tpy Isle of Grain Zeebrügge Montoire de Bretagne Bilbao In Norway there are two production plants for LNG in operation and one under construction. In Europe there are a number of import terminals where LNG can be obtained. LNG production plants in Norway LNG import terminals in Europe
Not locked to one supplier
Possibilities: Norway as an example
LNG is established in maritime transport Flakk-Rærvik (3) Haltenbanken. 2 PSV Kystvakt Molde-Vestnes (3) 10 LNG-fuelled ships in operation 18 more are ordered Oslo-Nesodden (3) Tampen. 2 PSV Halhjem-V?ge (1) Halhjem-Sandvikv?g (3) Arsv?gen-Mortavika (2)
LNG terminals 31 LNG terminals established or planned along the Norwegian coast
LNG ferries Five LNG-fuelled ferries like this are in operation. NOx-reduction compared to diesel is similar to taking 160.000 cars out of traffic.
Supply ships Three supply ships operate in the North Sea
New coast guard vessels Three vessels are ordered
RoRo ships Two RoRo ships for North Sea operation have been ordered
Passenger Vessels New fuel-contract project: Three new LNG-fuelled passengers vessels between Oslo and
Building a network in the Baltic Sea
Why choose the Baltic region? Maritime traffic is a major contributor to air pollution in the area Established cooperation in the Baltic region on local air quality issues An interest by Norwegian partners to further explore the potential of LNG-fueled vessels EU-programs stimulating cooperation to explore new energy solutions
Key objectives Establish an alternative fuel supply chain for ships. Reveal routes and fuel volumes of shiptraffic well suited for using LNG for fuel in the Baltic. Demonstrate how practical results can be obtained by using LNG for fuel. Results should be transferable to other areas in the EU.
Studies in 5 cities around the Baltic Sea Bergen Stockholm Gothenburg Lübeck Swinoujscie
Gothenburg
Opportunities for LNG The largest harbour in Scandinavia More than 4500 calls per year (RoRo and RoPax) Smaller local ferries for which LNG can be of interest Potential for local distribution and use of LNG for instance for heavy trucks

How do we build a terminal?
We plan to build small scale LNG terminals
Not like this Gas terminal in Huelva, Spain
More like this The LNG terminal at the Halhjem Ferry quay
More like this Supplying five gas ferries with LNG
Compact storage tanks Double shell vacuum insulated storage tanks 500 or 700 m3 tanks in series depending on the storage capacity required
Underground LNG pipeline An insulated pipeline transports LNG between the storage tanks and the ship The pipeline can be placed underground and therefore allow other activity in the quay area
LNG Storage: An example LNG terminal layout with 700m3 tanks Safety zone 30 meters Total capacity: 3500m3 LNG Energy content: 2 million Sm3 or 20 GWh 50 meters 50 meters Size: 50 by 50 meters Safety zone: 30 meters radius around accumulation pool
LNG-terminals give new opportunities for the cities
Possibilities for local distribution Air based evaporators for conversion from liquid to gas for pipeline transportation. LNG trucks for local distribution to end user adapted storages
Energy diversification Less dependency of oil, possibilities for LNG in city transport and heating etc
Opens the market for biogas Biogas and natural gas is the same type of gas

What would we like you to do?
We need initiative: Ship owners must plan for LNG in newbuildings and existing ships
We need cooperation: Port authorities, ship owners, governments
LNG a win-win-win situation Ship owners: Better economy and better environmental profile Ports & Cities: Better air, new business and energy possibilities For us all: Less pollution and greenhouse emissions
