2 Why LNG?

1. New regulations:• SOx

– IMO: 0.1% by 2015, 0.5% globally by 2020– EU: 0.5% in EU waters from 2020

• NOx, Tier III limitations for all ships built after January 2016

• Proposal for Directive Clean Power for Transport

• CO2 emissions

2. Ecological responsibility:• Green image• Customer demand

3. Port Incentives:• ESI – 10% reduction on harbour dues

Drivers for Sustainable Shipping

11

SECAs

12

13

Main drivers

LNG• LNG as a ship fuel

would comply with all new regulations

• NOx: 85-90%• SOx: 100%• PM: 100%

Scrubber• Residues to be

delivered at port reception facilities

• Extra CO2emissions

• Cools down exhaust gasses

• Some technical issues need to be resolved

SCR• Extra CO2

emissions• Sensitive to SOx

Other• Exhaust gas

recirculation• …

LNG is at the present the most complete short to medium term viable solution

• Safety concerns– Onboard vessels and in relation to port

operations

• Vessel application– Added costs for a new build

• LNG price– Chicken-and-egg cycle

• LNG bunkering– Port regulations and impact thereof on

operations

• Infrastructure– Development of supply chain

Main hurdles

14

What can be done by ports?Certain issues still need to be addressed

16

In 2015 pioneer shipping owners should be able to bunker LNG as a fuel for their vessels in the same way

as conventional fuels are being bunkered today.

Role of the Port of Antwerp

17

1. Develop bunkering procedures and assess the safety aspects of LNG in the port environment

Call for tender:• Classification Societies only• Assignment awarded to DNV

Trajectory:• Start of assignment: February 2013• Draft procedures: September 2013• Finalization: Q4 2013


18

Safety first!

• Start from existing procedures and industry best practices– Chosen timeframe should allow to take ISO recommendations into account

• Includes assessment of risk profile of the Port of Antwerp• Opened up for feedback from stakeholders before finalization and publication• Endeavor to be the standard, not the first


19

2. Develop required supply chain and needed infrastr ucture

Multiphase approach:

Phase 1:LNG bunker vessel and

other potential bunkeringsolutions (e.g. trucks)

Phase 2:Intermediate storage

Phase 3:Liquefaction


20

Phase 1: LNG bunker vessel

• Kick-start market development– Share the risks– Break the chicken-and-egg cycle– Non-discriminatory exploitation

• Call for tender: Conceptualizing, build and operation of an LNG bunker vessel– With participation of the Port of Antwerp– Awarded to Exmar Marine NV


21


22

Phase 1: Other bunkering solutions

• November 2012: LNG truck-to-ship bunkering is allowed in the Port of Antwerp– Port rules and requirements– Informative bunker checklist– Operational bunker checklist

• 05/12/'12 first LNG truck-to-ship bunkeringin the Port of Antwerp by the Argonon

• 17/06/'13: Greenstream and Greenrhine are permitted to bunker LNG in the Port of Antwerp


23

Phase 2: Intermediate storage• Evaluate the potential for LNG storage

– Market consultation of SEVESO II terminals

– Facilitate knowledge build-up of terminal operators

– Left bank vs. right bank

• Call for tender– Risk analysis of potential LNG storage

areas and locations for LNG truck-to-ship bunkering

– Assignment awarded to Fluxys LNG – Finalization of assignment Feb 2014


24

3. Influence public awareness• WPCI LNG Working Group of IAPH• European Clean North Sea Shipping project scientifically illustrate the benefit of

LNG– Scientifically illustrate the benefit of LNG with models– Compare impact on emissions of different clean technologies– Cleantech website: www.cleantech.cnss.no

4. Support LNG pioneers• BlueCargo Project

– LNG as a fuel for trucks

• LNG new build project(s)

The Port of Antwerp endeavors to play a proactive r ole in the development of LNG as a fuel for shipping.

4 WPCI LNG Working Group

World Ports Climate Initiative of IAPH

26

WPCI Mission Statement:• Raise awareness in the port community of need for action• Initiate studies , strategies and actions to reduce GHG emissions and improve air

quality• Provide a platform for the maritime port sector for the exchange of information

thereon• Make available information on the effects of climate change on the maritime port

environment and measures for its mitigation

“A working group on LNG is needed!”(IAPH meeting, Busan 2011)

WPCI LNG Working Group

27

Harmonization of the approach of ports towards developing rules and regulations regarding LNG as fuel and creating LNG awareness.

This is one of the crucial factors for the success of LNG as a fuel!

1. Bunker checklists• Create bunker checklists to reflect the extra requirements of ports with regards to

LNG bunkering operations in a port environment.– Draft truck-to-ship, ship-to-ship and shore-to-ship bunker checklists – All checklists opened up for feedback in Q3 2013

• Some ports might choose the method of accreditation for LNG bunkering companies based on certain conditions. A guideline for the content of these conditions will be developed in this group.

– cfr. Current accreditation system in Port of Antwerp– Focus on minimum safety requirements

WPCI LNG Working Group: scope

28

2. Risk perimeters• Create guidance to harmonized approach of risk perimeters of the different possible

LNG bunkering scenarios within a port environment.

• National differences with regards to fail frequencies will determine the outcome.– A guideline towards a harmonized approach– Recommendations to enable a harmonized approach


29

3. LNG Awareness• Get ports moving towards an LNG fuelled future through clear and unbiased

information.• Provide guidance for ports who could face issues with public awareness concerning

LNG– Target groups are: port operators, general public living near ports and policy makers,

emergency response organizations, authorities, environmental organizations, NGOs,…

• Sharing knowledge between ports will help to ensure that all ports start from a common ground, which is the earliest possible onset towards standardization between ports.
