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

• Excellent safety record • LNG has been in existence for over 40 years
• 80,000 carrier voyages worldwide with no sea related accidents
• Advances in technology and monitoring have only made LNG safer
• Vessels must meet stringent international, national and regional safety codes
• State-of-the-art LNG double-hulled carriers are used to transport LNG on the ocean

Location
Kitimat Region is a Natural Choicefor 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.

Market Interest in Kitimat Terminal
• Considerable capacity interest has been established• Off-take customers believe their portfolios should contain
LNG supply commensurate with eventual LNG marketshare
• Off-take customers have long term core need in natural gas with few long term supply alternatives
• LNG may provide the long term supply alternatives• Off-take customers include industrials, oil sands, utilities,
independent power projects and energy marketers

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

inal Layout
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

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

Carriers
LNG Ship size comparison to Very Large Crude Carrier
• LNG carriers have:– Double hulled construction between 6-10 feet between hulls
– Cargo tanks provide 3rd 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

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

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

North and South Routes to KLNG Kitim
at LNG
Shipping R
oute Alternatives
• 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 900
– 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
Navigation routes to Bish Cove Kitim

Navigation R
oute Alternatives
• 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
