The LNG supply chain scenarios: the downstream from port to land Glasgow (United Kingdom, Scotland) September 15th, 2015 Eng. Simone Pacciardi Technical consultant La Spezia Port Authority
The Port of La Spezia The natural sheltered port of La Spezia, in North-West Italy, is located in the Liguria Region, in the North Tyrrhenian Sea. Thanks to its excellent geographical position and intermodal links, La Spezia is able to serve the main North Italian and South European markets. La Spezia Port Authority - 2015 2
Transport network linked to the Port of La Spezia La Spezia is a Core Port within the TEN-T Corridor Scandinavian-Mediterranean Actually, it manages 1,3 million TEUs/year (2nd most important container port of the Northern Italy) and about 1200 container ships, 250 cruise ships and 100 general cargo ships moor every year at the port of La Spezia (data: 2014)
La Spezia as a SOUTHERN gateway for European Market The port of La Spezia has a direct rail link with the main inland terminals of the Northern Italy, and in particular to the inland terminal managed by Contship Italia Group in Melzo.

TEN-T CNCs and MoS Seamless maritime integration in the global logistic chain Environmental protection Human elements “… On the environment, the main areas for work are the reduction of emissions, mainly Sulphur (SOx), in order to comply with the new Annex VI of MARPOL which Brian Simpson comes into force on the 1st of January 2015 on the Baltic and North Seas. MoS (MOS coordinator) Work Plan of the European are supporting ship and shore based Coordinator installations and propulsion systems, logistics and reception facilities in ports, such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), methanol, de-sulphurised fuels and scrubbers... ”
The «green» perspective of the corridor La Spezia – Melzo Best practice: promotion of the use of LNG on the whole logistics chain, for maritime and terrestrial means of transport Port Authority of La Spezia and ContshipItaly Group cooperating in the project POSEIDON-MED Supply chain sustainability Sea – Port scenario Port – land scenario
Poseidon- Med Project’s main goal The main overall goal of the project consists of conducting a study (accompanied by an extensive Report) aimed at developing a global strategy able to promote the use of Lng as marine fuel in Greece, Cyprus and Italy. The abovementioned aim can be divided into several sub-targets, like: studying Lng sources and destinations in these Countries, studying all necessary activities to develop a sustainable market for Lng while satisfying emissions reduction as highlighted within TEN-T objectives. Through the final Report it will be possible to identify: the infrastructure and the network of facilities to be developed across the three Countries, the total Lng demand, the actions that are required to formulate the legislative and regulatory framework, risks and issues to deal with and financial needs and sources.
POSEIDON MED activities • Lng Network. Supply and Demand • Legislation and Regulatory Framework • Integrated Maritime Supply Chain for LNG • Local Assessments of some Italian Ports • Sustainable financing • Risk assessment
POSEIDON MED activities Integrated Maritime Supply Chain for LNG La Spezia – Melzo: as the first Italian best practise of LNG corridor
Integrated Supply Chain sea-port and port-land LNG scenario As told before, the overall aim of the project is to define future scenarios about the implementation of a transport chain based on Lng from the maritime, port operation and land sides. Activity 4: Objectives - to analyse all the potential constrains and opportunities - defining a set of scenarios for the implementation of strategic road map for the LNG supply chain in the Port of La Spezia – activity 4.1 - to analyse how LNG could be used on a full LNG based logistic chain including different means of transportation and new organization of LNG based freight flows to the inland terminal of Melzo (MI) enabling “optimised” solutions – activity 4.2
Activity 4: Methodology For both the sub activities, the methodology includes desk analysis, interviews with the stakeholders, technical workshops and on-site visits to define: • Policy and regulations framework • Current power sources and supply in each port and related logistics systems; overall availability of LNG and existing facilities; • Potential demand of alternative fuels for each port and maritime sector (LNG, electricity etc.) up to 2020-2030; demand forecasting for Med Sea; specific market considerations • Specific energy savings considerations • Upstream and down-stream flows; • Bunkering solutions for vessels and tugs; • Cost of LNG terminals; • Use of regasification sources; • Fuel price scenarios; • Demand forecasting for Tyrrhenian Sea; • Business model for the Port; • Feasibility for a LNG filling station in the port; • Evaluation of operations and security.
Desk analysis (common for the activities4.1 and 4.2) Methodology: • Collection of contributes and documents (more than 50) regarding the actual worldwide state-of-the-art of the LNG Supply Chain based on the elements defined in the previous slide. • Selection of the most significant documents divided according to subject of each paragraph and insertion in the “Ride the wave” document (about 90 pages) • Document with two similar sections, one for the elements of the sea-port LNG chain (activity 4.1), one for the elements of the port-land LNG chain (activity 4.2).
Interviews, workshops and on-site visits (activity 4.1) 1 st workshop (19 th February 2015, La Spezia) organized to involve the operators interested in • the LNG technologies and port scenarios • Visit to the Panigaglia regasification plant (25 th March 2015, Panigaglia – SP) and meeting with the gas suppliers (GNL Italia, Snam Group), in joint with University of Genoa - Marco Polo programme. 2 nd workshop (23 rd September 2015, La Spezia) planned to define scenarios and LNG Supply • Chain SWOT analysis in collaboration with La Spezia operators; 4 scenarios will be defined: - Resilience - Industry Driven - Sustainable logistic - Energy driven
Interviews, workshops and on-site visits (activity 4.2) • Visit to the Piacenza refueling station (6 th May 2015) and meeting with the designer of the plant (Vanzetti engineering and ENI), in joint with University of Genoa - Marco Polo programme. • Involvement of a group of technical operators (i.e. General Electrics, Gastech) and local public authorities Workshop (1 st July 2015, Melzo - Mi) planned to involve the operators interested and to • define scenarios and LNG Supply Chain SWOT analysis in collaboration with Melzo operators; 3 scenarios were defined: - Industry Driven - Sustainable logistic - Energy driven
Study act. 4.1 ESTIMATION OF THE LNG DEMAND by 2025 STARTING FROM TRAFFIC DATA Starting from official traffic data by the Maritime Authority, we were able to estimate the LNG demand in the port of La Spezia. The elements necessary to start the analysis are: • Type of ships mooring at the port of La Spezia • Total installed power • Service speed • Number of arrivals in the port • Kilometers travelled from La Spezia to the next destination Based on these data, we conducted a series of groupings. The main objective is the categorization of total arrivals based on specific characteristics for each type of ship: • container ships, • general cargo and • passenger/cruise ships.
