Recent Milestones in Arctic Projects Chukchi sea Barents sea 2010+ Laptev sea East-Siberian sea Kara sea 2008 2014 2017 SCF ice experience deeply rooted into Russia s long history of exploration of the Northern Sea Route SCF crews jointly accumulated years of practical experience of navigation in ice bound waters SCF goes step by step in implementation of new technologies based on gained expertise Recent technological development opens Arctic for regular year-round transportation through NSR 2
Yamal Peninsula: Harsh Environment Requires Special Skills and Knowledge The Yamal Peninsula - North of Western Siberia, bordered by the Kara Sea to the West and by Ob Bay to the East Subarctic and Arctic climate: Average annual temperature of minus 9 Absolute minimum temperature of minus 57 Strong winds (speed 32 m/sec) and blizzards Long-lasting ice cover (about 300 days a year) SABETTA 072 08'E 71 14 N Yamal contains substantial gas and oil reserves. One of the projects is Yamal LNG developed by a consortium of NOVATEK, Total, CNPC and Silk Road Fund The resource base supporting the construction of an LNG facility currently exceeds 10 TCM 3 Trains of Yamal LNG will produce 16.5 mt of LNG per annum, commissioning of Train 1 is scheduled in Q2 - Q4 2017 YAMAL C.

Some Aspects of Arctic Ships Design Common Design Approach - to reduce water flooding on deck, safe passage ways, special location of potable water tanks. All deck machinery, equipment and cables located on open decks are designed and approved for low temperature operations All navigation and communication equipment, fire fighting equipment and saving appliances are suitable for low temperature operations All air intakes for machinery equipment and ventilation systems are equipped with heaters Proper thermal insulation for all compartments and air ducts Enclosed bridge wings and heated glasses for all bridge windows 4
DAT Concept for Yamal Project Arctic LNG carrier is designed for safe and efficient operations in multiple ice conditions as well as in open water: as a principle the vessel steams ahead in open water and astern in ice. Icy waters: Vessel - ARC7 ice class tanker; Vessel has a propulsion system specifically designed to sustain ice impact as part of normal ship operation. Open Sea: Bow designed for optimized open sea performance as well as ice breaking operations; Vessel is tri-fuel diesel-electric propulsion with full flexibility on fuel choice from Gas, HFO and MDO. Astern heavy ice Ahead open sea & light ice 5
Yamal LNG Project Team Work Technical specification National Regulations SCF operational experience Propulsion complex for heavy ice conditions Arctic LNGC requirements Ice model tests at Aker Arctic Comparison and HAZID for cargo containments system Transportation chain calculation vessel requirements proposal Engineering Centre International cooperation, best engineering and technological knowledge & practices are accumulated and realized in unique transport solution for Arctic 6
Project Elaboration and Development Hull form and cargo containment system Optimization of hull dimensions and form, propulsion complex and main engine compatibility Hull strength, stress and fatigue calculations for heavy ice Cargo containment system studies and calculations for direct hydrodynamic load and stress response Initial Design proposals Bulbous bow 3 Azipods Propulsion power 3 x 13MW Final Design Double Acting LNG Carrier Ice bow 3 Azipods Propulsion power 3 x 15MW The installed Azipods were specially designed by ABB for this type of vessels, and today these are the mightiest Azipods for icy waters ever produced by ABB 7

First Yamal LNG Vessel - Success for All Participants of the Project The construction of the prototype vessel started at DSME with steel cutting on September 29, 2014 with delivery from the yard on November 14, 2016 after successful sea and gas trials. 9
Yamalmax for Technical Particulars: Christophe de Margerie at Zeebrugge, loading LNG for ice trials, February 2017 Christophe de Margerie, ice trials, Laptev sea, March 2017 Length - 299 m, Beam 50 m, Draft - 11.8 m Dwt: 80,200 mt Cargo capacity: 172,600 m 3 Propulsion 3 Azipods x 15 MW Speed in open water 19.5 kn Ice class: Arc7 Ice breaking capability: ahead 1.5 m, astern 2.1 m 10
Arctic Ice Trials After call at Zeebrugge, where LNG was loaded for ice trials in gas mode, Christophe de Margerie steamed up to the Arctic. Vessel successfully passed Ice Trials over February and March 2017 performing ice operations in the remote Kara and Laptev Seas. 11
Double Acting Ship Performance Ice trials results Speed astern in level ice of 150 cm equivalent ice thickness 7.2 kts Speed ahead in level ice of 150 cm equivalent ice thickness 2.5 kts Turning circle astern in an equivalent ice thickness of 1.7m 1760.6 m The ridge forced the average cross section - the three measured profiles > 650 m 2 - ridge depth > 15 m 12
Maiden Call at Sabetta on March 29, 2017 Ice trials were ended by the voyage through newly dredged 50 km channel to the port of Sabetta Two nuclear icebreakers escorted LNGC in fresh water ice of Ob Bay First LNG carrier arrival at port Sabetta proved vessel s ability to navigate in severe ice and weather conditions and confirmed readiness of Sabetta s seaport infrastructure 13
New Project About Ice and LNG - Gas Fueled 1A Afras for ECAs Zones SCF contribution to the environment improvement in the Baltic and Northern Seas the new generation of Aframax tankers with LNG-fueled engines Pollution by seagoing vessels in the Baltic region can be comparable with total industrial pollution by the two European countries, Sweden and Denmark, taken together Oil sulphur containment restrictions implemented for SECA since January 1, 2015 gave a way for new technologies and substitute of HFO by natural gas SCF, being the major operator of Aframax tankers in the world focusing on crude oil and oil products export from Russia, has designed together with Hyundai Heavy Industries a new generation of Aframax tanker which be capable of burning gas as well as conventional fuels to meet both current and future emission legislation and provide a lower carbon footprint in the environmentally sensitive areas where the vessels will trade. Technical data: Type: Aframax Dwt: 114,000 tons Ice class: 1A (hull) Propulsion: W X-DF LNG bunkers LNG intake Pumps Vaporizers Glycol heating system 14
Co-operation with Russian Far-Eastern Shipyard Zvezda Sovcomflot and Far-Eastern Centre of Shipbuilding in co-operation with foreign technology partners are developing project of LNG-fueled tanker Aframax. New generation of vessels will be built at Zvezda shipyard starting from 2020. Rosneft the co-owner of Zvezda is encouraged to use environmental friendly vessels for trade, especially at areas with air emission restrictions Baltic and Northern Seas and North America coastal waters 15
