“Our experiences from Arctic and Northern Sea Route, what possibilities there is for a

cooperation with Finland?”.

TSCHUDI SHIPPING COMPANY

The Tschudi Group (TSC) with roots back to 1883 (www.tschudishipping.com) is an offshore, shipping and logistics group with particular focus on the east west trades of cargoes and projects involving the Baltic, Russia and the CIS countries including the Northern Regions of Russia and Norway.

In 2006 TSC acquired the closed down Sydvaranger iron ore mine in Kirkenes, Northern Norway with the aim to develop arctic port facilities. In 2009 the mine reopened under the name Northern Iron, ww.northerniron.com.au , listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). TSC presently has an ownership of around 20 per cent in Northern Iron

� Energy and Mineral Resource development in the Arct ic is accelerating

�transport solutions are key to its realization!

� This development is possible due to :

� climate change - ice reduction� technological developments - resource extraction/ice operations � active interest from Russia and a general cooperati ve spirit� but most importantly; high commodity prices

The TSC rationale for focusing on logistics

in the High North is:

NSR - an alternative to Suez and Panama canals?

Suez about 19 000 transitsPanama about 15 000 transitsNSR 46 transits last yearMore than 290 voyages have asked for promition to sail in 2013….

NSR is irrelevant for container transport as no lines will make shedules for 5 months of the year and they will ”lose”the big ports like Singapore, India, Middle East and Mediterranean on their way to Europe.

Første malmlast fra Kirkenes via NSR til Kina.The Hong Kong flagged MV Nordic Barents transited t he NSR in September 2010

The Danish owned and operated vessel loaded 40140 MT of iron ore concentrate from the Northern Iron Mine in Kirkenes, Norway for Chinese steel mills

An alternative shipping lane with savings too large to be ignored!

2010 - 4 passages – 111 000 mt

2011- 34 passages – 821 000 mt

2012 – 46 passages – 1 260 000 mt

Serving a wide variety of vessels, cargoes and purposes

Transport of oil, gas, minerals and equipment by:

• Specialised shuttle multipurpose vessels

• Shuttle tankers

• Shuttle LNG carriers

• Shuttle bulkers

• Purpose built offshore vessels

• Seasonal liner services

NP

In the medium term – we believe regional destinational shipping

serving the developments in Russia will be the most relevant

activity in the NSR

Examples: The Varandey offshore terminal in the Pechora Sea serving the Conocophillips/Lukoil JV, Naryanmarneftegaz, with 3 Sovcomflot operated 70 000 dwt double acting ice breaking crude oil tankers (Samsung built)

shuttling to the storage vessel Belokamenka in Murmansk.

Price: Usd 130 million per vessel

Further examples of cross border logistics chains:- Ship to ship transshipment of Russian oil products in

Norway offers trading opportunities to Asia via NSR

The Barents Sea – predominantly a natural gas region

In February 2013 the Norwegian Oil directorate pre sented new resource estimates for the Barents Sea South East indicating undiscovered

resources in the order of 300 million standard cubi c meters (Sm3) oil equivalents (o.e.) adding more than 10 per cent to the estimated total

undiscovered reserves on the Norwegian continental shelf

These resources are predicted to be mainly gas (85%) which could become an unwanted by-product of oil production given the uncertainty related to gas prices.

This ”stranded gas” could be exported as LNG via railway to Finland and employed for industrial use both in Finland, Russia and Norway

A rolling LNG pipeline into Finland and the Baltics ?

An industrial example: One container would be sufficient to cover the daily energy demand of the Sydvaranger iron ore mining and processing operation

A link to the Rail Baltica project could create a new european energy pipeline

Mining in the Barents region – a growth industry producing what the world needs

An area of opportunities

Where gas meets ore – a future platform for industrial development?

The future? With increasing mining activity on the Kola peninsula and in northern Finland and Sweden the establishment of railway con nections for transporting rawmaterials in bulk for direct export or processin g could become a reality.

Economic opportunities for Finnish industry related to the NSR:

• Shipbuilding and

construction industries

• Shipping Companies

• Industry / Cargo owners

• Construction of specialised ice class vessels for arctic operations

• Production of modules, structures and equipment serving offshore oil and gas and mining in the Arctic

• Export of mining equipment

• The NSR offers a new and shorter transit route to the Pacific markets

• Shipping resources into and out of the Arctic• Repositioning of vessels via the NSR

• A new closer source of industrial rawmaterials• New arctic energy resources • Potential for industrial involvement in projects• A shorter trade route for imports/exports to and

from the North Pacific

BULK LOGISTICS IN KIRKENES

The Tschudi Bulk Terminal in the ice free port Kirkenes facilitates vessels up to 100 000 dwt with a plan to increase this to 170 000 dwt.

Silo storage capacity of 370 000 m3 offers the possibility of storage and transshipment of bulk minerals from Russia and northern Scandinavia both in direction the Atlantic and the NSR
