First Small Scale LNG Logistics in China • Skaugen/Norgas has been the pioneers in Small Scale LNG Logistics in China • First
company
to
carry
out
Domestic
transport of LNG by ships in China • Dec 2012 : Performed commissioning of Jovo LNG terminal in China. • Jan 2013 : Carried the first commercial LNG cargo to the Jovo LNG terminal from Dalian LNG terminal. • Demonstrating
that
Small
Scale
LNG
vessels can load in a large scale LNG terminal (Dalian is a QMAX capable LNG terminal)
First Small Scale LNG Logistics in China • Nov
2014
:
We
performed
the
commissioning of the CNPC Hainan LNG terminal in China. Norgas Innovation carried the first commercial cargo to the CNPC Hainan LNG terminal from Dalian LNG terminal. • May 2015 : Three consecutive voyages to fill the CNPC Hainan cargo tanks, transporting LNG from Dalian LNG terminal.
• Sep 2015: Loaded LNG in Petronas’ Bintulu terminal and discharged in CNPC Hainan for three consecutive voyages on COA basis
Dubai’s Gas Up & Cool Down Services for Conventional LNG Carriers • In cooperation with Dubai Supply Authority (DUSUP) we are providing LNG
gassing
Services
to
up,
Cooling
down
conventional
LNG
vessels, as well as LNG bunkering, at Dubai. • In Sep 2014 Norgas carried out first ever reloading of Small Scale LNG carrier from an FSRU. This was carried out at Dubai, where our vessel Norgas Unikum loaded LNG from the FSRU Golar Freeze.
Dubai’s Gas Up & Cool Down Services for Conventional LNG Carriers • During the same operation, Norgas Unikum carried out gassing up and cooling down of the LNG
vessel
Explorer and then provided LNG bunker to the vessel, successfully. • This niche business can be developed in all locations in proximity to Drydocks or major shipping lanes, with a LNG supply source.

Small Scale LNG incentives are becoming stronger Gas where there is no gas - Stranded customers – too small or too far away from pipelines and currently using other expensive fuels like diesel and fuel oil. Gas where it is needed yesterday - Developing countries - where speed of getting clean energy supply in place will impact economic growth Gas when it is needed in its liquid form and with lower emissions – Transportation market Gas when emission legislation makes conventional fuels too expensive – ECAs Gas when there is short-term fluctuations in demand – peak demand

Focus areas for Small scale LNG development • • •
ECA zone as of 1 Jan 2015 Import terminals ready for re-loads Additional smaller re-distribution terminals being built
• •
NWE
•
Growing energy demand and push for lower emissions Regional imbalances for LNG supply Infrastructure for LNG in place and growing
China Indonesia & Philipines
USG/ Carribean • • • •
ECA zone as of 1 Jan 2015 Export terminals coming online Carribbean prime area for devlopment Africa of SSLNG solutions for power • Growing energy Close proximity of abundant Shale gas demand • Lack of infrastructure • Need of floating solutions to support power plaants
India •
• •
Growing energy demand and lowering of fuel subsidies Lack of pipeline infrastructure Import terminals ready for re-loads
• •
•
Growing energy demand Archipelago of islands where pipeline access is unreachable Requirement of small peaker power plants to manage fluctuating demand 12

Innovation: Key to SSLNG success Indian Market have two unique characteristics: 1. Unavailability of Capex 2. Reluctance of customers to commit to long term contracts SSLNG projects are able to manage these challenges through innovation:
Innovation in Vessel Designs Innovation in distribution network Innovation in receiving facilities Innovation in Contracts 17
Multi-gas SSLNG vessels: Flexibility is the essence
Multiple height manifolds
Re- Liquefaction plant: BOG flexibility
Type C Tanks: Pressure Flexibility
Cargo Flexibility
Using exisisting LNG terminals as SSLNG Hubs • With the CAPEX component covered by the terminals’ conventional LNG role, facilities, provide a “ready to use” and cost-effective source of LNG supply.

• New generation SSLNG vessels are designed to load from such large conventional terminals • The spot - priced LNG volumes can be redistributed into smaller ports around the world thereby satisfying the demand of small scale consumers in the market.
Endless oppurtunities with exisiting LNG terminals
Bontang, Indonesia as SSLNG hub
Bintulu, Malaysia as SSLNG hub
LNG Terminals not available: LNG FSRU as hub • Most of the present day LNG FSRU’s are able to re-load LNG. • Modern SSLNG vessels are designed to load from such floating facilities. • They can import LNG directly into their FSRU and redistribute LNG from the FSRUs.
SSLNG vessel loading from Golar Freeze FSRU in Dubai
• SSLNG vessels can load LNG from the FSRU and transport LNG to the LNG receivers. • This also increases the utilization of the FSRU.
Lampung FSRU as a Hub
Loading from FSRU not possible : Loading LNG Via STS • In some cases the location of the LNG receivers is too far and thus is not economical to transport LNG from the FSRU • In such cases, LNG Supply can be made using Shipto-Ship transfer. • A conventional LNG vessel bringing the LNG cargo to Large Scale LNG terminals and enroute, at a location close to receiver’s premises SSLNG vessels can lighter the LNG from larger vessel and supply to the receivers terminal. • Same conventional LNG vessels can either act as a hub for a number of receivers or a single drop on its way to a large scale LNG delivery.

No Receving terminal Infrastructure : Eazy LNG Truck Solution • Some consumers in Asia have immediate demand for LNG, but there are no receiving terminal infrastructure. • Building a receiving terminal infrastructure including Jetty, loading arms, storage, re-gas could involve time as well as huge capital investment. • Until this basic infrastructure is ready, a direct discharge to trucks solution can be deployed to provide prompt LNG to the customer. • SSLNG vessels can berth alongside any normal jetty and then can discharge directly into LNG trucks or LNG ISO Containers. • These Trucks /ISO containers can then take the LNG to end-consumers’ premises and discharge LNG.

No Receving terminal Infrastructure : Regas Barge option • Some LNG receivers may have insufficient space at its premises for receiving LNG through truck, or its located in a very congested area where the road network does not allow turnaround of trucks. • The receiver can build up a Gas pipeline and while awaiting construction of the terminal Jetty , storage and regas. , it can utilize the ReGas Barge option. • In this option a LNG vessel is at anchor and has a barge alongside mounted with regas equipment onboard. The LNG vessel pumps LNG to the barge which regassifies the LNG and directly connects it to receivers gas pipeline. • Once the other infrastructure is ready , the barge connection can be removed and the vessel and the barge can be used elsewhere.

Innovation in Contracts: Flexible Contracting
• Fixed amount of time every month basis the volumes to be shipped • Spot availability (shipping companies to include LNG Change of Grade requirements as a matter of course) • Seasonal Time Charter requirements 27
Small Scale LNG Solutions provide Low. Capex , innovative solutions which can be implemented in very quick time. What we need is a strong determination to proceed towards utilizing a cheaper , more efficient and cleaner fuel Source
