Sweden – LNG bunkering facility is available at Port of Stockholm to supply LNG to Viking Grace. She sails between Stockholm and

Turku. The LNG is supplied from LNG Terminal in Nynäshamn

– A pilot project for LNG bunkering for Baltic Sea ships focused on the Port of Brofjorden, Lysekil, on the west coast of

Sweden, would be funded at €23,103,000 ($30.4 million), covering some 30% of project costs, funded by EU TENT-T

programme

– Skangass and Preem signed a gas supply agreement that will require the construction of an LNG terminal at Preem refinery in

Lysekil (truck loading facilities). This facility is also likely to serve as an LNG bunkering hub. The LNG will be delivered to

Lysekil by Coral Energy, 15,500m3 coastal LNG carrier. The terminal is due to commence at Q1, 2014

– The EU through TENT-T supports a project of LNG bunkering at Rotterdam with a small-scale satellite terminal in

Skarvikshamnen, Sweden (Gothenburg) for €34,272,000.The goal is an LNG break bulk facility adjacent to the Gate

terminal at the Port of Rotterdam. Participants include LNG Break Bulk Rotterdam (a joint venture of Vopak LNG and

Nederlandse Gasunie), and Swedegas and the Ports of Rotterdam and Gothenburg.

Denmark Fjord Line are planning operations of 2 LNG fuelled passenger/cruise vessels between Bergen (Norway) – Stavanger (Norway) –

Hirtshals (Denmark) and Kristiansand (Norway) – Hirtshals (Denmark).

Gasnor and the Port of Hirtshals have entered a strategic cooperation concerning the establishment of a LNG terminal. The

port is a hub port for shipping to and from the countries of Scandinavia and Northern Europe. Fjor Line, Color Line and Nor Line

are amongst the shipping companies serving the port

Samsøe Municipality is building an LNG fuelled ferry, connecting Samsøe Island and Jutland. The LNG bunkering will be

performed at Hou Harbour

Aarhus, Helsingborg and Copenhagen are partners in the LNG bunkering feasibility project, BPO to investigate LNG

bunkering opportunities

Germany

– The EU through TEN-T programme supports LNG Masterplan for inland ports along the Rhine-Meuse-Main-Danube

waterway. The funding amounting of €40,260,000 covering 50% of the project’s total costs. It is a multi-partner application of

33 companies and organizations from 12 EU Member States

– Gasnor and Brunsbüttel Port, are planning to build an LNG bunker station at a strategic location of the crossing of the river

Elba and the Kiel-Canal. There will be a tank in the port and LNG will be pumped in piped to the ships. DNV has been appointed

to conduct the risk studies of the project which will be the basis for the authorities’ approval of the project.

– The Port of Lubeck was part of the BPO feasibility studies on LNG bunkering. The facility is planned to serve 36 RoRo and

RoPax dock

– Hamburg Port Authority and Linde Group are promoting the use of LNG and are currently compiling a feasibility study on the

commercial use of LNG in the Port of Hamburg. Bomin reported that as part of their joint venture with Linde AG will cooperate

to develop an LNG bunkering facility at Germany’s Port of Hamburg. The project will be composed of a storage terminal and

refueling infrastructure situated at Bomin sister firm Oil tanking's premises at the port. The decision to go ahead with the

project was made following the completion of a feasibility study by Linde and the Hamburg Port Authority. The Port Authority

itself has reportedly been a key supporter of the project, and has announced it plans to operate an LNG-fueled vessel of its own

by 2014.

– Ferry operator AG Ems is building the Germany’s first combined passenger and cargo ferry with LNG propulsion. The ship will

operate year-round between Cuxhaven and Heligoland

Netherlands

– The EU through TENT-T supports a project of LNG bunkering at Rotterdam with a small-scale satellite terminal in

Skarvikshamnen, Sweden (Gothenburg). The facility, which is expected to be operational in 2014, will be linked via pipeline to

the nearby existing Gate LNG import terminal. From there, the LNG-fuel will be made available as small-scale quantities more

suitable for distribution to the marine fuel market. Participants include LNG Break Bulk Rotterdam (a joint venture of Vopak

LNG and Nederlandse Gasunie), and Swedegas and the Ports of Rotterdam and Gothenburg. Shell signs on as customer for

Rotterdam LNG-fuel terminal

Belgium Dec 2011, Argonon was delivered and became Europe first LNG fuelled inland waterway vessel. Although riverside fuelling

depots are planned for Rotterdam, Zwijndrecht and Harlingen, for the moment, Argonon is bunkered with LNG road tanker

deliveries from Zeebrugge. By 2014, Zeebrügge and Rotterdam, Zwijndrecht terminals (20 km south of Rotterdam) will be

operated

– Flemish Government conducted a study relating to the provision of LNG bunkering facilities in three Belgian ports Antwerp,

Zeebrugge and Ghent

France

– A study on a project designated Seagas on determining the feasibility LNG bunkering for the Ports of Roscoff (in

Northwestern France) and Santander (in Northern Spain) would receive €1,041,000 ($1.37 million), covering 50% of the costs

from EU TEN-T programme

UK

– Brittany Ferries is building the LNG-fuelled ferry that will operate between UK and Spain

– Grain LNG is evaluating developing LNG truck-loading facilities at their Grain LNG import terminal in the United Kingdom.

The facility is reportedly a high-potential supply point, as tanker trucks could serve both European on-land fleets and vessels

operating out of Southern England

8



Finland

– The terminal in Tornio northern Finland will be used to supply the

Outokumpu Tornio steel mill but will also be used to supply ships such as a

new icebreaker planned for Tornio and Bay of Bothnia region. The terminal

is expected to commence in 2017

– Gasum made the first LNG bunkering in Finland in Dec 2012, bunkering 15

trucks for Viking Grace. She sails between Stockholm and Turku in Finland

– Gasum has made a decision to build LNG terminal in Inkoo and has opted

for Fjusö area in Joddböle. The terminal would be provided with marine

facilities that also allow the loading of LNG bunker vessels and small LNG

carriers engaged on coastal distribution. The terminal is not expected to

commence until 2018

Estonia

– Port of Tallinn, the leading port in the country is likely to delay providing

LNG bunkering due to lack of demandThe infrastructure could be in place

by 2015, but it seems will be on their agenda 2017-2018

Lithuania/Latvia

– LNG terminal in Klaipeda is under development and could supply LNG for

bunkering.

Poland

– Polskie LNG is building an LNG import terminal at Świnoujście for 2015

commencement. This terminal has a potential to supply LNG as bunker for

shipping

Energy security is a very important issue in the Baltic

countries. No large natural gas suppliers in Eastern Europe,

so Russia is currently a dominant supplier. LNG provides an

excellent way to transport gas to the countries, however

LNG import terminals have to be built. There are a number

of LNG terminals are being built, planned or considered to

be constructed in the Baltic countries. These terminals will

also be equipped with smaller terminals for local LNG

distribution including LNG bunkering facilities.

Forecast of LNG bunkering infrastructure in Mediterranean Sea

Spain

– A study to help establish a flexible LNG bunkering value chain on

the Spanish Mediterranean coast – Valencia, Barcelona,

Cartagena, and Algeciras, would receive €1,044,000 ($1.375

million), covering 50% of costs from EU TEN-T programme

– A study on LNG hub at the Port of Ferrol in Northwest Spain,

for Atlantic corridor ships, would receive €602,000 (nearly

$793,000), covering 50% of the project’s total costs from EU

TEN-T programme

– A study on a project designated Seagas on determining the

feasibility LNG bunkering for the Ports of Roscoff (in

Northwestern France) and Santander (in Northern Spain)

would receive €1,041,000 ($1.37 million), covering 50% of the

costs from EU TEN-T programme

14

Turkey

– Turkey is sharpening its emission regulations. While

there is no SOx-ECA yet, they also now require

maximum 0.10% sulphur in marine fuel for ships at

berth. However, ships in transit through the Turkish

Straits without making port calls are not affected by

this rule. Turkey has announced their ratification of

IMO-MARPOL Annex VI and intends to forward a

proposal to the IMO in 2015 for implementing ECA.

The potential ECA will cover Turkish Straits and

Marmara Sea
