The Supply Chain
LNG carrier LNG Terminal Bunker jetty Bunker vessel LNG fuelled vessel
Piraeus
Patras
Igoumenitsa
Heraklion
Limassol
or
Truck loading station Road tankers
• Bunker jetty in Revithoussa: Basic Design awarded in March 2018 expected finish end 2018
expected commissioning early 2022
o Interim solution under study (loading arm added to the existing jetty)
• Truck loading station: EPC tender issued. Bid due date: 21 June 2018 expected commissioning early 2020

Progress to date and schedule
• Unbundling of energy business
• TPA = Third Party Access
• Revithoussa operates under third party access regime possibility of competition
• Satellite storage installations may operate as points of sales

Availability of supply
• With the completion of the 3rd tank, the storage capacity of Revithoussa is
approximately equal to the annual national bunkering demand at a 10 years
horizon

Safety Record
• There are approximately 100 LNG fueled ships with no major incident to date
• First LNG fueled ship in 2000
• Excellent safety record for Revithoussa since its commissioning in 2000
• Viking Grace has completed
approximately 1500 bunkering
operations since April 2013
• On top of the international LNG prices one has to consider:
o The charge for the use of the LNG terminal
o The charge for the use of the dedicated jetty
o The amortization of the bunker vessel(s)
o The operating cost of the bunker vessel
o Fixed
o Variable
o The levies received by the port authority
o The commercial margin of the LNG supplier
• The dedicated jetty charges will depend on : o The forecasted volume (main uncertainty factor) o The investment (and operating) cost of the dedicated jetty o The need for LNG to remain competitive
