Since 2006, over 100 acres to the west ofthe Terminal has been dedicated to natureconservation. South Hook LNG manages thisarea, in conjunction with the PembrokeshireCoast National Park Authority (PCNPA).

Controlled and limited access to the NatureConservation Area (NCA), supported byactive monitoring programmes andconservation management, has allowed amosaic of habitats to develop, ranging fromwet and dry scrub to grassland and bothseasonal and permanent ponds. Evolvinghabitats have allowed many species tothrive in the pools, which were originallycreated by the depression of large oilstorage tanks once located in the area, aspart of the Haven’s refining history.

Through the successful implementation ofwoody shrub management, the developmentand biodiversity of habitats has furtherbeen encouraged within the NCA. This hasincluded clearance programmes of non-nativeplants such as conifers, an invasive plantcalled Montbretia, scrub and willow fromsignificant areas around several of the ponds.

Due to the success of the introduction of aherd of ponies in 2015, a larger herd of tenponies grazed a substantially extendedfenced area so that other areas may benefitfrom the grazing.

This low level grazing inhibits theencroachment of scrub (such as gorse andbrambles) and allows the area to be kept‘open’ for traditional grassland and cliff topflowering plants, such as Orchids, SeaThrift, Sea Campion, Violets andencourage anthill formation, all of which areobserved throughout the conservationarea. The hoof prints can also open up thesward for opportunist seeding by floweringplants, to the benefit of the local wildlifeand environment.

Our short history has established South Hook LNG as a key player in theUK energy industry and we are proud to be one of the key contributors tothe UK’s energy needs.

Over the last decade, as the UK’s domestic sources of natural gas hascontinued to decline, liquefied natural gas (LNG) has become anincreasingly important source of reliable energy. Natural gas burns morecleanly and efficiently than other fossil fuels with carbon emissionssignificantly lower than coal.

Liquefied natural gas or LNG, is natural gas, mainly methane (CH4), thathas been condensed into a liquid by cooling it to approximately minus160° C. Liquefied natural gas takes up about 1/600th the volume of naturalgas in its gaseous state. Once liquefied, the LNG can then be transportedand stored as a liquid in an unpressurised environment.

At South Hook LNG, our key function is the safe and reliable regasificationof LNG. LNG is shipped to our Terminal where it is received, stored and,when needed, the LNG is converted back to its gaseous state through aprocess known as regasification.

As one of Europe’s largest regasification terminals, weare capable of handling around a fifth of the UK’s currentnatural gas needs. Playing a vital role in thecountry’s energy infrastructure, the Terminalrepresents a long-term commitment by ourShareholders, to the security of UKenergy supplies.

Fuel Gas

South Hook LNG has a dedicatedworld-class fleet of vessels, consistingof five Tractor Tugs and two lineboatswhich support the safe and efficientberthing and departure of LNG shipsvisiting the Terminal. Svitzer UK is theoperator of the seven vessels.

The tugs are among the largest andmost powerful vessels of their type inthe world and are another exampleof the ground-breaking technologiesinvolved in the delivery of securesupplies of natural gas from Qatar’sNorth Field to the UK market.

Capable of operating in high seasand extreme weather conditions, thetugs have been specifically designedfor the requirements of South HookLNG Terminal. Assigned to assist

LNG ships to manoeuvre safelywithin the confines of the Port, eachhas a crew of four and facilities onboard to allow 24-hour operations.

The largest tug, the Svitzer Kilroom,is approximately 40 metres longwith a bollard pull of 113 tonnes.Both the Kilroom and the SvitzerLindsway were built in Spain. Theother three tugs, the Watwick,Musselwick and Gelliswick wereconstructed in China, while thelineboats were built in Thailand.

The two lineboats, Svitzer Taku andSvitzer Thaw, are capable ofoperating in all weather conditions,day and night and assist the LNGship to pass its mooring lines safely,while approaching our berth. With a

crew of two, each vessel is alsocapable of personnel and storestransfer, of up to 10 passengers.

The cover page of this Newslettershows the powerful Svitzer Kilroom,one of the South Hook LNG dedicatedfleet, operated by Svitzer UK.

In June 2017, we welcomed Henriette

Thygesen, CEO Svitzer, along withother representatives from Svitzer UKto South Hook LNG for a series ofmeetings. Our guests took theopportunity to tour the facility.

Earlier this year, we welcomed StephenCrabb MP back to the Terminal. As acontinued supporter of Pembrokeshire’senergy sector, Stephen’s visit was an

opportunity to discuss the ongoingcontribution that South Hook LNGmakes to both the local economy andthe wider energy landscape of the UK.

Members of the Department forBusiness, Energy & Industrial Strategy(BEIS) were recently welcomed to theTerminal, supporting our colleagues atSouth Hook Gas - the London based

Company that manages the Terminal'scapacity. Members of BEIS, who haveresponsibility for advising on UKenergy policy and economics, visitedSouth Hook LNG to get a better

understanding of the operationalprocess involved in receiving andregasifying LNG.

Safety Management Leadership atSouth Hook LNG is centred around astructured Management System - theSafety, Security, Health & EnvironmentManagement System (SHEMS). ThisManagement System is instrumental insetting clear guidelines and theexpectations required to meetstringent regulatory requirements. Itdefines the way we all work at theTerminal in delivering an excellentsafety culture.

To ensure continued best practice, wework closely with industry experts andShareholder representatives from otherLNG terminals. As well assome of our team membersvisiting Adriatic LNG in Italy, toassist with the review of theirSafety Management System,we were pleased that our ownSHEMS system was subject toaudit by experts from the Italianfacility during 2016.

Our Community Liaison Group (CLG) meets on a quarterlybasis, and is a chance for Senior Management at SouthHook LNG to share information with locally electedcommunity representatives within the neighbourhood.

The CLG Forum provides an opportunity for us to sharesome of our current operational activities, as well asproviding an insight into some of the recent CommunityEngagement initiatives we have been proud to support.

At the last meeting, the need for greater vigilance bymembers of the public using the South Hook LNG AccessRoad, was discussed. Whilst remaining private property, thearea has become a popular walking route. With the night’sdrawing in, personal visibility and that of pets is paramountto ensure the safety of all users.

The Company asked Members to reiterate within theircommunities, the expectation that those walking in the areado so responsibly.

Simone Terry, a studentfrom Haverfordwest, hasjust started her first year atthe University of York witha financial boost fromSouth Hook LNG. Wewere proud to offer our

second Scholarship Award to Simone, aformer pupil of Sir Thomas PictonSchool. Following excellent A Levelresults, Simone has moved north toembark on a four-year Master’s Degreein Chemistry, including a year in industry.

Simone was one of many local studentsto apply for our annual Scholarship,

which - along with a written application- also involved giving a presentation asto future career aspirations.

Having grown up in Haverfordwest,Simon’s interest in Chemistry started ata young age. “Without chemistry wewould not have many of the advancesthat have come about in fields asdiverse as the energy sector,pharmaceuticals and the production ofmaterials,” commented Simone.

“Knowing that these advances areattributable to chemists and thatchemists are at the forefront of countlessremarkable discoveries, has inspired me

to carry out a degree in chemistry. Iwould like to thank South Hook LNGfor this very generous scholarshipwhich will assist me greatly during mystudies at the University of York andhelp me to fulfil my career ambitions.”

The South Hook LNG ScholarshipProgramme encourages applicationsfrom local students seeking highereducation in engineering, science orbusiness related disciplines. Details forhow to apply to the 2018 Programme willbe available on our website next year.

We wish Simone the very best as shestarts on a new chapter of her life.

Staying Safe!The commitment to safety at South Hook LNG is evident throughout theorganisation. We strongly believe that all incidents and accidents arepreventable and strive to instil a culture of continual improvement in oursafety practices.

Loss of situational awareness is a causal factor in many accidents onindustrial sites, so we encourage everyone working at the Terminal, toremember how important it is to be aware of their working environment.

Preventing Slips, Trips and FallsAll slips, trips and falls have the potential to hurt people and a third of all majorinjuries at work are caused by this category of incident.

Some guidelines for staying safe, whether at work, at homeor out and about• Avoid slips by looking out for wet floors, icy areas, oil or grease

• Wear suitable footwear for the environment

• Promptly clean up any spillage - do not leave it for someone else!

• Avoid trips by maintaining a good standard of housekeeping and ensure thatcorridors, stairs and access ways are kept clear

• Ensure rubbish and waste material is promptly removed and disposed of appropriately

• Take care when getting in and out of vehicles

• Take care if your environment is affected by poor lighting

Safety moment: Manual HandlingLifting awkwardly or movingheavy objects can cause seriousinjury when not carried outproperly. Try to think about thefollowing precautions:

• Reduce the amount of twisting,stooping and reaching

• Avoid lifting from floor level orabove shoulder height,especially heavy loads

• Consider how you canminimise carrying distances

• Assess the weight to becarried and whether you canmove the load safely or needhelp - maybe the load can bebroken down to smaller, lightercomponents?

• Make sure the route is clear,remove any obstructions

• When carrying a load for adistance, plan to rest on abench or table during theroute, allowing you to changegrip

• Keep the load at waist heightand close to the body

• Keep the heaviest side of theload next to the body

• Adopt a stable position andmake sure your feet are apart,with one leg slightly forward tomaintain balance

Last year, for the South Hook LNGCalendar 2017 Competition, we invitedPembrokeshire schoolchildren tocreate artwork depicting the County’sabundant wildlife. To celebrate theachievement of the winning schools,we teamed up with PembrokeshireCoast National Park Authority (PCNPA)to help schools develop their outdoorspaces, making it a valuable learningresource for the children. The winningprize for the schools also included anRSPB voucher.

Outdoor Classrooms

Children love an outdoor classroomand during the workshops with thewinning schools, the National ParkRangers found that the children werenot short of ideas on how theirschool’s playgrounds and fields mightbe developed and improved!

In total, the National Park Rangersvisited nine schools across the County.Dan Wynn, one of the National ParkRangers, said, “Although all of thesessions focussed on the schoolgrounds, the work we were able toundertake varied from school to schooland included question and answersessions with pupils, practical work onthe ground and consultation with staffand pupils. Feedback suggests schoolswill benefit from the experience and inseveral cases Rangers have gone on tovisit the schools for a follow-on sessionand have provided written reports toaccompany their visit.” Dan concluded,“The work done with South Hook LNGhas complimented key objectives for thePembrokeshire Outdoor Schools (PODS)partnership, in particular the goal to‘create high quality learning spaces forPembrokeshire pupils to improve theiropportunities for outdoor learning’”.

Pupils help to develop their outdoor spaces

Milford Juniors RugbyWith safety being at the forefront of everything we do at the Terminal, weare proud to be able to support local projects and recently, we havecontributed towards the purchase of training equipment for Milford HavenRugby Club, benefitting over 150 youngsters.

The additional training equipment, including head guards and speed andagility training packs, will allow the young players at the Club to learn correctplaying techniques, in a safe and controlled environment. Players will also beable to learn new skills, whilst having a positive effect on their physical andmental wellbeing.

Pembroke Swimming ClubThe South Hook LNG Community Fund has helped the Pembroke & DistrictSwimming Club purchase one of five Olympic track style starting blocks, along withcontributions from a number of other local organisations. The support receivedhelped boost the fundraising efforts of the Club members, having already raisedover £5,000 towards the equipment.

A recent evening event, held at the Pembroke Leisure Centre, gave us theopportunity to meet with committee members, club coaches and race officials, aswell as the Club’s many talented and dedicated young swimmers.

St Mary's RC School - Pembroke Dock

Working closely with staff andenthusiastic pupils at St Mary’s RCSchool in Pembroke Dock, GrahamPeake, National Park Ranger, identifieda list of possible improvements. Theseincluded developing planters as mini-meadows, representative of a typicalPembrokeshire habitat and possibleprojects that would provide space forvegetable growing. It was suggestedthat these activities could either bedelivered as extra-curricular topics toengage the wider school community,including parents and carers, or builtinto the regular school day, as part ofthemed learning, for example science.

St Francis Catholic Primary School- Milford Haven

St. Francis Catholic Primary School,one of the winning schools, purchaseda Hedgehog House, Bug Hotel, plants,seeds and gardening equipment with

the voucher and, with help and advicefrom Dan Wynn, National Park Rangerand his team, landscaped the school’sFoundation playground, including a

bamboo fence, raised planting borders, apathway and a log seating area.

The school was delighted with the final result.
