Business Overview Thun Tankers in the value chain • Regional trade – Most shipments in this size is between destinations within the region. Due to freight economics cargoes in this size with destination outside the region are often shipped on larger parcel carriers. • From Refinery to end user – A high percentage of shipments in this size are ready made and sensitive products going from refinery to end user. • Inter refinery or terminal trade – Frequent shipments of blend stock, such as petrol and diesel components, to complete the recipe. • Feeding volume to niche ports – Restricted ports or berths and/or places where consumption is limited gives the segment an upside. • Short, intense voyages – A vessel in this size spends most of its time in port.

Our path towards climate smarter shipping We are now tailor making a new generation of tankers based on our clients demand Design based on and exceeding forth coming regulations
Why we decided that some of our new building will be dual fueled The process started in 2012 • Tightening regulations on bunker fuel – 2005 EU Sulphur Directive, ECA in the Baltic, max 1,5% sulphur – 2010 Max 0,1% sulphur in EU ports – 2015 SECA in the North Sea, max 0,1% sulphur • Society and political environment – Sustainability, climate change and public health issues high on the agenda in Europe – Several public reports shows direct and high cost savings for society • We strive to help our client to sustain and grow their business – Permits for refinery expansions conditioned by reduced emissions including from logistics / transportation – Suburban areas closing in on terminals and depots with pressure to reduce emissions, stench and noise – Continued trade to niche ports and densely populated areas where emission restrictions are or will be in place
Why didn ´ t we go for another emission reducing solution? We have found LNG to be the best suited, future fuel for our type of trade Scrubbers Emission reduction when sailing on LNG: • Scrubber and SCA hard to combine. • Only solves one environmental issue CO2 50 % *) • Not financially good alternative for coastal vessels with high % port NOx 85 % in port SOx 99 % • Loss of cargo intake – big impact for smaller vessels Particels 99 % • Open loop solution not an option when trading in restricted areas *) 0% CO2 if Biogas • Difficulties to get rid of sludge / rest products Methanol Emission reducing • Low energy content SOx NOx CO2 Particles • We consider it dangerous in an engine room with wide flash point MGO Yes - - - and heavier than air Scrubber Yes - - - • Toxic fuel, not good for a safe working environment SCA - Yes - - (catalyst) We have found LNG to be the only existing fuel that complies Methanol Yes Yes -40% Yes with all new regulations needed for our trade. The EU-politicians are very clear that they want regional LNG Yes Yes -50% Yes shipping to go forward in this direction.
What has happened since we decided to invest in dual fueled vessel Our partner Furetank bunkering - Regulations • Biogas in Gothenburg IMO max 0,5% sulphur bunker by 2020 • IMO agenda to reduce vessels GHG with 50% by 2050 • Focus on public health risks due to NOX emissions and particulates • Baltic Sea to become NECA-Area incl. TIER III requirements for new vessels by 01.01.2021 • EU have set a roadmap to gradually reduce the GHG emission. To be reduced by 80-90% by 2050 compared to 1990 levels - Ports LNG bunkering has become • Vast increase of ports in the EU implementing discounts for every day operation climate smart vessels - Clients • A majority of all dual fuelled new-buildings have secured long term contracts as a result of increased client demand/benefits - Bunkering • Infrastructure for LNG bunkering in Europe have matured with several strategic and fast places for LNG bunkering • Several new bunker boats in operation • Availability of LNG increasing
Emissions to air and external costs to society Swedish IVL estimates that one LNG propulled tanker saves society approx 2 million Euro/year -Study done in Gothenburg
Focus on energy saving LNG is one way to meet the future… …but several other measures have been taken on all our new buildings to reduce our environmental footprint and meet the futur e requirements
We started our path by building the worlds first dry cargo ships using LNG as a fuel With a maturing infrastructure for LNG we are now building dual fueled tankers
