EXMAR's LNG Regasification Solution

Challenges for land-based LNG regasification:

Cost of land-based LNG regasification terminals

Environmental impact of land-based regasification plants

Perception of LNG as 'unsafe' with extraordinary attention to accidents – LNG in particular and shipping generally

No perfect location (NIMBY) - New sites difficult to find and existing sites under scrutiny and most commercially attractive sites/markets are the most populated and strongly opposed

Reasons to re-think conventional methodology:

US Natural Gas need far exceeds present day delivery methods and this need will continue into the foreseeable future

LNG becoming part of the national dialog

Federal Reserve Chairman and Energy Secretary have raised the level of awareness

Conventional Methods

Exmar's LNG Transport Innovation Include:

1978 - LNGC Methania delivered from Boelwerf. At 131,000 cbm, the Methania was the largest LNGC in the world at the time of delivery.

2002 - LNCG Excalibur delivered from DSME. The Exmar Excalibur was the first vessel designed for "worldwide trading" standards adopted for all 138,000 to 145,000 cbm vessels.

2004 - LNGC Excelisor delivered from DSME - World's first LNG vessel capable of regasification on board.

FUTURE - From the current design 138,000 cbm LNGRV to the concept design 200,000 cbm and 250,000 cbm, Exmar will continue to lead the way in LNGRV vessel design and construction.
