TOTE’s LNG Program
The TOTE LNG Program Encompassing every aspect of Maritime LNG
• New Builds – Marlin Class
• Re-engine – Orca Class
• Long Term LNG fuel procurement
• Development of Liquefaction plants with our partners
• LNG transfer to vessels – Multiple and mobile truck transfer to vessel
– Barge to vessel transfer
– Plant to vessel via cryogenic pipeline
Addressing IMO Emissions Standards
• Do nothing: Cost of 1% compliant IFO 380
is significantly higher with further increases
expected in 2015 and beyond
• Install exhaust gas cleaning system:
Scrubbers use existing fuel with added costs
• Convert to Natural Gas: Meet all current
and future emissions requirements, cleanest
of all options

LNG at TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico Just completed one year of operations
World’s first LNG dual fuel containerships
• Isla Bella operational since October 2015
• Sister ship Perla del Caribe entered service Feb 2016
– NASSCO
– MAN ME-GI slow speed
– 3 DFDG Auxiliaries
– Operate weekly
• Loading 50 trailer loads of LNG each week
Interim Bunker Operations in Jacksonville
• Requirement is to load about 250,000 LNG gallons from trucks in 5 hours while simultaneously discharging and loading container cargo
• Applied Cryogenic Technologies (ACT) developed skid and built tanks
• Pivotal LNG supplies LNG from Macon, Georgia peak shaver; also provides trained PICs
• Genox provides safe and efficient trucking
• Safety and strict adherence to procedures and checklist is JOB #1
2015 – 2017:
Dames Point LNG Plant • Our partner JAX LNG developing plant at Dames Point
• About ½ mile from our terminal and vessel berth
• Clean Jacksonville world’s first membrane technology barge being built at CONRAD Shipyard in Orange, TX
World’s First Bunker Barge Using Membrane Technology
Partnership:
GTT technology selected after exhaustive review
Atmospheric tank versus pressurized C-Tanks provide improved space utilization
Keel Laid September 9, 2015 Enters service in JAX 2017 when plant commissioned

Operations & Regulatory
• Designed to Operate in Inland Waterways, Bays, Harbors and US Coastal Waters
• No propulsion machinery
• Conventional towing by hawser wire or pushed from the stern
• Jones Act
o US Flag vessel
o Built in US
o Owned by US citizens
o Manned by US mariners
• Regulatory
o USCG for design approval, construction, and life cycle surveys
o Classification Society: ABS
17
Technical Features - Summary • Based on conceptual design developed by GTT
o Single cargo tank of Mark III Flex technology with BOR 0.38%/day
o Equipped with Bunker Mast for safe, reliable LNG transfer
o Lightship of ~1350 MT
o Dimensions 232’ L x 49’ B x 16’ D x (8.2’ d)
• Cold LNG delivery ensured by 6 Stirling StirLNG-4 cryocooler units

Lessons Learned
• Environmental issues and doing what is right is important and sells!!
• Vessel technology is not THE major issue but LNG integration requires significant attention
• Having set deployments is a major advantage to LNG logistics but will change over time as LNG plants are developed and commissioned
• Long term commitments are essential. Must be ALL IN!! • Partners are the key to success
– Regulators are an integral part of the process – Need to have passion, expertise and look ahead – Leading edge does NOT have to be bleeding edge
What’s Next?
• Marlin’s will operate to and from San Juan for their useful life providing unparalleled environmental benefits to Florida, the Caribbean waters they transit and Puerto Rico
• Barge will enter service when Dames Point plant is commissioned; skid will become a backup process
• Training and safe procedures being developed in concert with USCG and ABS; local authorities are part of process
• TOTE Maritime Alaska working on conversion of Orca Class in partnership with MAN, GE, Keppel, Wartsila and Victoria Shipyard.
