Small Scale LNG in the Mediterranean SMALLSCALELNGINTHE MEDITERRANEAN Small Scale LNG in the Mediterranean - Criticalities • No LNG Export Regas Terminal in operation in Central and Eastern Europe • All LNG Export Terminals are in Western Mediterranean (Spain and France) • LNG terminal in Western Mediterranean close to major ports • 4 LNG Export Terminal along about 1,000 km coastline • Need for small scale storage plants • Wide number of small ports • Need for LNG for bunkering in isle and tourist areas • No/Few small scale vessels operating in the Mediterranean

- 18. Lack of Small Scale Vessels in The Mediterranean • Need for carriers of 20,000-30,000 cum for LNG from Terminals • Less than 15 units operating (datum: January 2017) • Most of the small scale carriers operating in Far East • Need for small scale carriers for bunkering (less than cum) • Less than 10 units operating (datum: January 2017) • Relevant investment for new units • Challenging project financing • Delay in LNG small scale development Number of Carriers vs Capacity SMALLSCALELNGINTHE MEDITERRANEAN
- 19. Development of Guidelines and Procedures for Ports • Italian Ministry for Infrastructure and Transport is guidelines for bunkering operations (ferries and within the GAINN-IT • Spanish Ministry is promoting the development of guidelines to homogenize: • LNG transfer operations • LNG carriers maneuvering and mooring • Equipment (for mooring, transfer) to be implemented • Safety procedures • Need for port personnel training sessions SMALLSCALELNGINTHE MEDITERRANEAN
- 20. Moral of the fairy tale • LNG fastest growing as energy source will lead to scale development • Major LNG Terminals will be the main players for scale distribution: • Possibility of implementing modifications to guarantee export • Possibility of leasing/purchasing mid scale vessels (less 30,000 cum) • LNG availability • Proximity with French/Spanish ports might support FINALREMARKS

Editor's Notes
- A little bit if history: RINA (I. N. R.) was founded in 1861 as a Certification Body in Naval sector About 90 years later D’Appolonia was founded in P. as an engineering company; since 1981 D’Appolonia became a separate company headquartered in Genoa providing first services in foundation design for nuclear power plants and later a wide range of consultancy services. In 2011 D’Appolonia joined RINA Group and became the RINA Group company for consulting and engineering services. Next 1° of June D’Appolonia will become RINA Consulting thus completing the acquisition process.
- In the LNG field we have acquired a unrivaled experience& broad service portfolio, being involved in a wide range of services coming from the concept/feasibility stage up to operation and maintenance. Now our track record includes development of services for almost 90 LNG terminals and projects. It is interesting to highlight that since 2012 we have started our involvement in the small scale LNG, being involved since there in almost 20 projects worlwide (with a focus on those in the Mediterranean area)
