What is LNG? LNG is natural gas that has been cooled such that it condenses to a liquid form Temperature -256 o F (-160 o C) Atmospheric pressure Volume is reduced 600 times LNG is odorless, colorless, non-corrosive and non-toxic Kitimat LNG

Kitimat LNG - Terminal Site Terminal Site Kitimat LNG Location
Kitimat Region is a Natural Choice for an LNG Terminal Grass roots community support was garnered early in the process. Canada has a clearly defined environmental assessment process that is unified at the Federal and Provincial levels of government. The site selected is zoned for industrial use. Kitimat rests on the Douglas Channel which provides a deepwater all season port. Bish Cove provides a natural jetty and break water. Bish Cove is 18 km from population centre. Access to Pacific Basin LNG supplies. Pacific Northern Gas Pipeline provides access to Westcoast Pipeline and the North American grid. Kitimat LNG Terminal Location Benefits

Kitimat LNG Terminal Components Kitimat LNG Terminal Components
Main Components of the Kitimat LNG Terminal Offshore LNG tanker berth and unloading jetty capable of handling LNG carriers up to 200,000 cubic meters (approx. 98,500 dwt) Construction and tug berth Two 160,000 cubic meter LNG storage tanks (approximately 6.8 Bcf of natural gas) with the potential for future expansion to three tanks NGL separation unit provides flexibility Send-out pipeline for natural gas (610 MMcf/day) with potential future expansion to 1 BCF Kitimat LNG Terminal Components

Jetty information and design Laterally Braced Dolphin design Positioned along the steep rocky eastern shore of Bish Cove Four steel pipe berthing dolphins secured laterally to shore 840 sq. meter unloading platform Six shore-based concrete mooring points Key benefit: small footprint and environmental impact Underwater rock blasting and dredging minimized Reduced amount of steel components in the intertidal and submerged zones results in long term serviceability and reduced maintenance costs Less than $20M capital cost Kitimat LNG Terminal
Kitimat LNG Advantage Membrane carrier LNG Berth with breakwater
Unloading Arms Kitimat LNG
LNG Carriers LNG Tankers are large vessels and have substantial windage similar to container ships and auto carriers LNG carriers range from 125,000 to 200,000 cu. metre capacity A typical LNG ship is approximately 975 feet long and 145 feet wide with a loaded draft 39 feet Capable of sailing at speeds up to 21 knots LNG ships are most costly cargo vessels built new LNG ships cost approxim ately $160M vs $70M for V LC C s LNG ships are equipped with the most-up-date navigation and communication technology LNG tankers use natural gas as fuel so are among the cleanest ships at sea 4-5 ships at terminal per month arriving at KLNG terminal Kitimat LNG Carriers

Marine Safety Features LNG carriers have: Double hulled construction between 6-10 feet between hulls Cargo tanks provide 3 rd layer of protection Gas detectors and safety alarms for continuous leak detection and monitoring Safety and security zones in established port areas Excellent safely record: more than 80,000 carrier voyages covering m ore than 100 m illion m iles w ithout a m ajor incident in LN G s 40 plus year history Kitimat LNG Marine Safety

Tug Requirements Tugboat requirements vary depending on size of LNG vessels Based on SIGGTO guidelines tugs for LNG carriers require a 150 tonne minimum bollard Tugs for the larger vessels will be 38 m ( 125 ft) long and 10.7 m ( 35 ft) wide with a maximum draft of 5.5 m ( 18 ft). The minimum required water depth is approximately 7 m ( 23 feet) Regardless of the size of LNG carrier that will call upon Kitimat the existing tug fleet is inadequate and new tugs will be required Tugs required for: Maneuvering and assistance for berthing and departing Fire fighting requirements and Escort capability Kitimat LNG Tug Requirements

Tugs Required for Kitimat LNG Kitimat LNG will require four tugs Kitimat LNG negotiated a benefits agreement with the Haisla First Nation this spring The Haisla aim to supply tug services to the terminal and are in deliberations with a potential partner Kitimat LNG Tugs
North and South Routes to KLNG Kitimat LNG Shipping Route Alternatives
Navigation routes to Bish Cove Safe and navigable access by water from Douglas Channel from the coast Two possible routes : from the north via the Principe Channel ( approximately 120 nautical miles) and, from the South via Squally Channel (95 nautical miles) Northern Route preferred by BC Coastal Pilots Sufficient width allowing 2 ocean going vessels to pass each other at safe and adequate distance Sufficient depth no turns greater than 90 0 Underkeel clearance in excess of 15 % of the deepest draft Additional navigational aides may be required Southern Route acceptable if Northern Route has interference Usual transit time from Triple Island to Kitimat is approximately 16 hours Pilots will board at Triple Island situated 21 miles west of Prince Rupert Kitimat LNG Navigation Route Alternatives
Safe Operation of LNG tankers Physical criteria for the safe operation of LNG tankers is based on considerations presented by : TERMPOL Society of International Gas Tanker and Terminal Operators ( SIGGTO) Oil companies International Marine Forum ( OCIMF) International Navigation Association ( PIANC) BC Pilots Canadian Coast Guard Safety and security of the ship is paramount at all times both in transit and at the berth an exclusion zone of 500 m has been assumed for the KLNG project Excellent safety record to date and has to be kept that way. The safety record is not by accident but by a proactive approach by the industry Kitimat LNG will adhere to best practices in both the on-shore and marine environments Safety is the KEY Kitimat LNG Safe Operation
