1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SRG Pipeline ntr

FSRU The current January 2013 figure is 93.54%. The monthly progress is 2.25%.

The vessel left drydock on 27.12.2012 and after drydock the following steps were

achieved:

- Running of new MGO pumps

- Boiler restart and operation

- Restart of existing STG # 1

- Restart of STGs# 3 and 4

- Testing of Seawater system

- Successful start of thrusters, without any vibrations

Main Areas of Concern:

- Seawater System test failed, rectification of vibrations and cavitations required

- Lack of communication of the power management system

- Fatal breakdown of both STGs # 3 and 4 with significant damages on rotors ,

bearings and casing

Commissioning has increased the monthly progress for December of 8.23%, the total

progress is 88.17%.

The critical path consists of different elements:

- Boilers and power generation systems commissioning

- Main Sea water System

- Power management System

- Repair of STG # 3 and 4

Sailaway is now scheduled to take place on 15. April 2013

Installation Saipem is planning the possibility of wet storage of flexible risers in conjunction with chain

removal campaign, possible hook up of risers is considered as an option.

Financial Information Total cash out for the month of January amounts to € 3,5 M, mainly related to SAIPEM

costs (€ 1,9 M) and PY Costs (€ 1,1 M).

Main activities of the month: closure of the 2012 Statements; AEEG tariff calculation and

presentation; preparation of the audit on main O&M suppliers.

Operations


O&M Department is involved in the day by day follow up of the ECOS and NERI activities

as well relevant contracts, plus support to the various departments (Permitting,

Commercial, Construction and Engineering, Insurances, now Installation and SRGI

technical interfaces).

Detailed list of the activities carried out by O&M dept., and OLT Subcontractors ECOS,

NERI, MARSH in the following chapters.

New activity on going is the verification of the compatibility of various LNGCs to the OLT

Terminal.

2. OVERALL SCHEDULE


3. EPCIC

3.1. Saipem Progress Status 25th January

3.2. OLT assessment of EPCIC

3.2.1. Engineering

Engineering activities are as follows:

Radio link antenna installation is complete. New GPS antenna installation is

ongoing.

OLT to prepare for checking the T16 documentation on site once Saipem is ready.

Further process sea water tests were carried out. The problem of pulsation in the

sea water discharge on T16 remains. SAI is engineering a pipe system modification

to solve the issue. According to SAI the design will be backed-up by CFD

simulation. OLT reiterated its concerns. Furthermore the measures against the

vibration in the engine room overboard system have to be verified and the

automation of the entire sea water system is still to be demonstrated to OLT. The

water curtain has been working sufficiently during a test with 3 IFVs running. The

MGPS system commissioning was not completed as SAI will modify the fwd

system, i.e. the bio fouling analyser system which measures the free chlorine

content in the sea water. The modification is required to ensure a continuous

monitoring of the free chlorine content and is based on a TQ issued by OLT.

Ongoing follow-up and close-out of technical queries, site queries and NCRs.

Ongoing review and close out of Technical Comment Sheets (TCS) by OLT.

T20 noise measurement planned for week 28 during commissioning activities.

Thruster test after modifications to reduce vibrations was successfully completed.

After modification of the cooling water system and running of the main diesel

generator the required temperature could be maintained. OLT will follow up if this

can also be achieved once the new turbo generators are running and the whole

fresh water cooling system with all consumers is balanced.

New MGO pumps are in service.

An updated list of consumers regards the instrument air has been issued to OLT.

Saipem states that no full redundancy for the aft instrument air system is specified

in the contract. OLT will check and reply to SAI.

load and function test was done on 30.01.

- Stern thrusters was successfully tested after modifications of base plate and top

side fixation of electric motor.

- New turbo generator #4 had a trip during internal load test on 13.01. due to high

vibrations. Rotor blades of stage 9 and 10 have heavy damaged.

- Saipem commissioning team started tubo generator #3 on 19.01. after green light

from turbine manufacturer. Also TG #3 failed due to high vibrations during an

internal load test.

- Both turbos were open and rotors removed and transported to Dresser Rand work

shop in Abu Dhabi. The root cause of the failure is not yet determent.

- Commissioning of fire and gas detection systems is still ongoing.

- Bilge systems including emergency suction in engine room are checked. Only bilge

system in cargo tank void space to be done.

- New cranes, fwd, aft and loading arm platform, are commissioned.


- New fwd life boat load test and function test are completed.

be rectified before sail away.

- The accommodation are occupied by ECOS’B’. Galley is operational.

-

- e undocking took place on 27.12.2012. The unit is moored on berth #2 which allows

more draft in order to be able to check process sea water system with ballast draft.

- Mechanical completion was completed by end of 2012. Punch items still to be

cleared.

- Diesel generator was started for an internal test run after modifications on cooling

water pipe lay out. The first impression was rather good but a complete test of

diesel engine with readings of all parameters and than a load test of the generator

has to be performed.

- Process sea water system was started again to verify vibration condition after a

different set up of valve position. ’Cetena’ vibration specialist took measurements

on different locations.

- ECOS ‘B’crew will be placed on board permanently after the 15.01. Fire detection

and fire fighting systems have to be operational before habitation can be allowed.

- The foam pipe system was inspected and 21 spools were found in not acceptable

condition. Spools are fabricated and all spools are re-instated with pressure test

and leak test carried out.New MGO pumps are installed and boilers fired on

06.01.2013.

- Onshore commissioning of loading arms is completed.

- Tank skirt modifications are completed and all ballast tanks are closed.

- Modification of gas detection sampling system, requested by RINA, is under way.

- Commissioning of fire and gas detection system in accommodation is ongoing.

- All alarms and safety systems of LD and HD compressors are checked. Running

test with verification of anti surge function will be done before sail away by vendor.

- Test run of stern thrusters is planned for the next days. Motor support is modified.

- The unit went into the dry dock on 29.10. for the change of chain table. The

expected duration is up to 20.12.2012

- Diesel generator is still not operational. Saipem engineering is dealing with the

balancing of the fresh water after the removal of main turbine lube oil installation.

- Loading arm pre-commissioning and commissioning is ongoing.

- Electric motor of stern thrusters was checked in DWD workshop for vibration. Result

was in line with shop test readings. Re-enforcement of motor base support is under

way.

- Commissioning of fire and gas detection systems as well as fire fighting systems is

very slow due to the fact that RINA is revising the earlier approvals and ask for a

number of modifications.

- LD 1 compressor safeties, alarms and controls are tested with vendor. Vibrations of

electric motor is in an acceptable level.

4. SRG PIPELINE

Authorization issued

NTR

4.1. Administrative Procedures to be Finalized

No action for OLT. SRG are now in charge to comply with all the recommendations

concerning the replanting of Posidonia seaweed.

4.2. Offshore Pipeline Schedule

NTR

4.3. Pipeline Commissioning Procedure

The topic has been discussed again in the recent technical meeting with SRG. OLT has

received confirmation, like in the past, that the nitrogen now filling the pipeline will not

represent a problem and it will be easily diluted in the grid while FSRU pressurizing the

line with the first send out. SRG has also put forward the option to preliminary fill the line

with gas at about 5 bars, thus removing the nitrogen, in the framework of the procedure

detailed at point 4.4 below.

4.4. Interfaces during terminal commissioning

Many interfaces with SRG will happen during the trial run and performance test phases,

but also during offshore commission of the send-out metering system. A preliminary

meeting to discuss the latter has been held on 26th April with the aim of the mutual

understanding of the points to be clarified beforehand. During another meeting held on 31st

May, among the other operative technical aspects, SRG and OLT have discussed of a

pipeline gassing up procedure that would avoid to lose gas through FSRU cold vent thus

avoiding any commercial and custom issue. This would be achieved pressuring with gas


both upstream and downstream parts of the Subsea Isolation Valve with valve in close

position and opening it when the pressure from the two sides are equal. During the month

of June SRG has informed that after internal review this procedure is for them feasible.

Saipem and OLT have then technically agreed the procedure which will foresee the

pressurization from onshore up to the closed block valves upstream of the turret.

4.5. REMI Station

The REMI Station is officially transferred to SRG.

4.6. Interconnection agreement

On 6th March a meeting was held between OLT and SRG to discuss about some interface operative point and above all the development of the “interconnection agreement”. This agreement is aimed to cover all the operative aspects which need to be settled before the start of the commercial activity.

The IA has now been received from SRG and currently under review by OLT commercial and O&M team. A first draft of the operative manual, which will be attached to the IA, has been sent by SRG in the second half of July and is also currently under evaluation.

5. OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

Preamble The Terminal during its operational life will be managed by:

a) O&M operator contract for the Terminal, including the FSRU and all subsea systems

b) Support Vessel contracts for 1 guardian vessel, 1 crew boat and supply services using one tug when not in use for the towage services.

c) OLT personnel onshore to control and manage the abovementioned contracts and to liaise with the local authorities, the terminal Users and SRG.

d) Towage services to be provided to the terminal Users through a dedicated frame agreement.

e) Pilotage (2 during first 6 months) and Mooring liners (2 during first 6 months) services, even if not mandatory, have been required for by the Maritime Authority by formal communication. Contractually these services could be treated as per Towage services through dedicated frame agreements. Once OLT has decided how to proceed 2 dedicated agreements can be draft.

5.1. O&M Internal Coordination Meeting

In order to plan O&M team actions and follow up plans to allow a smooth transition from the EPCIC phase to the Operational phase when different subjects (from Saipem to ECOS) will manage the Terminal, from now on, bi-weekly internal coordination meetings will be held.


Tech Superintendent now is mobilized until sail way in Dubai to follow the mechanical completion and commissioning activities in support of the Construction and Commissioning Team. Frequent trips to DDW are forecasted in order to follow the more critical phases of the commissioning (e.g Loading Arms, Regas, etc). In general the actions are divided and distributed between the various competences (Marine and Technical). Briefly the main activities carried out:

Extension of MSE Decree February 23rd 2006 On February 23th 2006, the MSE issued a decree of Authorization for the construction and operation of the LNG Terminal. On April 23rd 2010 the MSE issued a Decree concerning a Partial Transfer to SRG for the part of the Decree which was referred to the sealine and a 2 year Extension of the Authorization until March 1st 2012. Due to the delay in the construction of the Terminal, OLT requested on January 11th 2012 a further 18 months extension of the Decree February 23rd 2006. A Conference of Services was called by the MSE on February 21st 2012. The MATTM and the Tuscany Region expressed their positive opinion. MSE organized a meeting with OLT and Saipem on March 19th to receive an update on the Project status. The Decree of Extension was issued by the MSE on May 14th 2012. In particular: 1) The Decree was extended for 18 months 2) OLT should begin operations as soon as possible and should monitor constantly the works by Saipem. OLT should also send to the MSE and MATTM every 3 months a Report describing the status of the works. 3) Any further delay after 18 months will be punished with a fine 4) The continuous monitoring of the status of the works will be performed in accordance with the Industrial MSE Commissioning Committee to be nominated. The expiring date of the Decree is September 2013. The conclusion of the works is meant to be the moment of the First Gas in the Net.

9. Ordinance for the navigational safety This Ordinance is issued by the Livorno Maritime Authority and regulates all the

maritime operational aspects of the Terminal and the navigational safety.

This is necessary before the Terminal can operate.

Some meetings took place with the Admiral in order to define all the issues still

open. In particular, the main open issues are: nautical services - mooring and pilots

and telecommunication systems.

The Capitaneria di Porto, with Letter prot. B 0694 dated November 27th 2012,

requested some further information about the operative procedures of the Terminal.

OLT sent an “Informative Booklet” to the Capitaneria di Porto on December 10th

2012, containing information necessary for the issuance of the Ordinance. The

Capitaneria sent to OLT some comments on the “Informative Booklet”, to pilots and


to other aspects related to the Ordinance on December 21st 2012 that are being

evaluated by OLT.


10. Fiscal Authorization OLT needs to obtain n.3 Fiscal/Custom Authorizations.

On December 5th 2012 a meeting took place at the Custom Agency to discuss

about the last details concerning the Technical Report.

The Technical Report was submitted to the Custom Agency on December 13th

2012.

On December 17th 2012 OLT sent a request to obtain the “Codice Accisa” and

another request for authorization to use of the “Officina Elettrica”.

11. Incile Canal Project OLT signed the Agreement with the Municipality of Pisa and the province of Pisa on November 28th 2011. The signature was followed by a Press Conference in Pisa with the Major of Pisa to discuss about the Incile and another Press Conference was held in OLT’s offices with the Major of Livorno to discuss about the compensations that will create an effect on the city of Livorno. The “Conferenza dei servizi” took place in Pisa on January 10th 2012. During the

meeting, different public entities were present. The main item regarded a new local

legislation regarding operas in rivers (DM Regione Toscana n.61 del 27-12-2011)

that made it necessary to obtain a Certificate of Homologation of the Incile to be

issued by the Tuscany Region. To achieve this goal, following also the other

prescriptions gave during the “Conferenza dei servizi”, OLT technical staff needed

two months to prepared the new calculation and designs. After this, Pisa

Municipality took about one month and half to revised all the documents prepared

by OLT.

Finally, Municipality of Pisa called for the closure of the “Conferenza”, that took

place on 28th June, 2012 at Pisa Municipality palace; the Project was approved with

prescriptions, obtaining the homologation certificate by Genio Civile department of

Pisa. The only matter that remained open was the official permission to acquire/use

the land nearby the Canal, that Pisa Municipality has to give to OLT before starting

the works and the tender phase.

Despite of this, the work necessary to prepare the tender documents continues in

order to be able to issue a pre-qualification enquiry to potential construction sub-

contractors as soon as the matter concerning the land acquisition will be resolved

by Pisa Municipality.


A preliminary work to be done before the construction of Incile canal is the

reclamation of the existent part of the canal: the reclamation will consist in the

removal of waters and mud present inside the canal. This operation needed an

official authorization by ARPAT of Pisa, obtained on the 3rd August 2012 on the

bases of a reclamation project prepared by OLT. This work will need a private

tender, in which OLT will be the committee on the behalf of Pisa Municipality.

Ing. Canepa was appointed as Responsible of the procedure on October 24th 2012.

OLT carried out the tender process for the cleaning of the water (phase 1 of the

works), preparing the Tender along with the Technical Specifications and the Safety

and Coordination Plan, following a negotiated procedure in accordance with

Legislative Decree no. 163 / 2006, as amended. The invitation letters were sent to

the selected companies on 7th January 2013.

On January 23rd the tender process was concluded and Forti S.p.A awarded the

cleaning of the water. The contract is being prepared by OLT legal department and

Avv. Toscano.

The works should start at the beginning of March 2013 but not before the main

tender is ready to be issued.

12. Radio – Frequencies

o Radiolink : Before the Terminal can operate OLT must obtain from the Ministry of Economic Development - Department of Communications the approval for the allocation of a frequency band to ensure the adequate communication between the Terminal and the base. The necessary documentation to present the request was prepared and the request to obtain a frequency band was submitted to the MSE on March 23rd 2012. The technical procedure was completed and the frequencies were awarded. The official Act was issued on July 31st 2012 by the Ministry of Economic Development - Department of Communications. Request on MSE ( Telecommunication Dept.) for the discount on annual fee on the use of both frequencies (FSRU – Monteserra and Monteserra On shore base) was sent on October 9th 2012. Sferiacom provided all the detailed HW information for the closing of the ongoing request to MSE (see Chapter IT). On December 14th the MSE granted the discount on annual fee requested by OLT.

o GMDSS RADIO LICENSE On December 28th 2012 the Ministry of Defence and the Capitaneria di

Porto di Livorno assigned to the FSRU Toscana the MMSI Code and the

Call sign. Telemar (MSE Concessionaire) assigned to the FSRU Toscana

the MMSI Code.

The MSE inspector performed the site survey for the release of Licenza

Radioelettrica on January 28th 2013.


Licenza Radioelettrica provvisoria is being released.

o RADIO LICENSES – Other frequencies On November 22nd 2012 OLT submitted the request for other frequencies to the MSE. The documents was been sent to MSE for approval. The procedure is ongoing.

(see point 10.7)

13. Emission Trading Authorization

On November 30th 2012 OLT sent to the MATTM the request to obtain authorization to emit greenhouse gases, which will be issued as per Legislative Decree 216/2006. The request was finalized on February 7 2013 with the submission of the "Monitoring Plan" prepared in accordance with Regulation (EU) n.601/2012. The procedure is in progress.

14. Trials and Testing of the Terminal

Before the terminal can begin operations, it must be tested by specialized

committees and authorities. This is a final step in the process and will be addressed

in due course.

A) Maritime Testing OLT has made a formal request to the Ministry of Infrastructure who is chairing the

Intra ministerial Committee for the creation of a specialized committee to review the

terminal in relation to Art. 48 of the Navigational Code.

Commission.

The Committee is formed by:

1. MIT 2. Capitaneria di Porto 3. Ministry of the Interior - Fire Department – Central Office 4. Ministry of the Interior – Fire Department – General Direction Tuscany 5. Provincial Command of Fire Department. 6. MSE – Energy Department 7. MIT– Interregional Department for the Public works of Tuscany and Umbria A visit at the Dockyard in Dubai took place from February 28th 2011 to March 3rd

2011.

A meeting with the Committee took place on December 13th to discuss about

several aspects of the Commissioning that needed to be clarified. OLT also

provided a presentation about the progress of the project and a brief update on the

project progress status. OLT is responsible of all costs concerning the


Commissioning and therefore OLT was responsible of the cost of the inspection in

Dubai.

B) Industrial Testing Before the start-up, the Terminal must be tested by a special Commission presided

by the MSE for an “industrial” test.

The Committee is constituted by the following members:

1. MSE 2. Costums Agency 3. MATTM 4. Tuscany Region SRG is in charge of this aspect of the testing for the pipeline, since the authorization for the pipeline has been transferred from OLT to SRG. A meeting with the MSE to clarify several aspects of the Commissioning took place on January 10th 2012. Permitting and Authorisation Meetings held in October: January 8th: Meeting at MSE for Other Frequencies (Balboni) January 9th: Meeting at MSE for Guarantee Factor (Venturi) January 14th: Meeting at Custom Agency and meeting with Major of Livorno (Venturi) January 17th: Meeting in Livorno with Stelmar for Other Frequencies (Balboni) January 24th: Meeting in Livorno with Custom Agency (Venturi - Balboni) Meeting in Livorno with Capitaneria di Porto (Venturi) January 25th: Meeting in Livorno with CIBM for Monitoring Plan (Venturi – Maggi - Balboni) January 29th: Meeting with Major of Livorno (Venturi)

Following a brief description of the above mentioned NM:

on 27th December night onboard FSRU Toscana during the ballasting of the ship an unplanned overflow of the Ballast tank n.5 through open manhole and vent pipe on the deck had occurred. During the event some of the overflow water had entered into portside underway passage through open cable penetrations on Port side deck.

9. LEGAL ACTIVITIES

9.1. Contract and other activities

The legal department assisted the company in the ordinary activities such as the extension of consultancy and labour contracts and the check of some agreements aimed to observe the prescription no. 24 of the VIA authorization. The department, with the external support of an administrative lawyer, assisted the company for the tender procedure concerning the reclamation of water and mud present in the Incile canal. In light of the incoming FSRU commissioning OLT and E.ON Ruhrgas AG have negotiated two agreements respectively to ensure to OLT the availability of the LNG carrier “LEO” and for the services to assist OLT in the procurement of LNG on the market. Both agreements are necessary to bring the necessary LNG to allow Saipem to complete the offshore FSRU commissioning. On January 2013 the parties have reached an agreement on the most relevant issues and the 2 agreements are now close to finalization. On January 2013 OLT brought an action before the Administrative Court of Milan to oppose the resolution of Italian Gas and Energy Authority (i.e. AEEG) n. 451/2012/R/GAS dated 31 October 2012, whereby the AEEG suspended the applicability of an industry incentive which otherwise would have potentially applicable to OLT’s regasification terminal (i.e. the so-called “Guarantee Factor”). Considering such resolution potentially detrimental to OLT’s business interests an action has been brought against it by OLT. The hearing to discuss about the pre-emptive order to suspend such Resolution of the AEEG requested by OLT is expected to be on February. Ordinary legal support has been provided to the execution of the EPCIC Contract, in particular concerning the role and responsibility of Saipem and ECOS during transportation of the FSRU to Livorno and during the offshore activities. In this regard OLT has also started a negotiation with F.lli NERI and LABROMARE respectively for the transportation and the disposal of the garbage and waste of the terminal. ECOS, in its quality of “Armatore” of the FSRU, is expected to sign directly such contracts, but OLT could also decide to sign them directly in light of its general responsibility as holder of the permits.

10. OLT COMPANY OPERATIONS

10.1. OLT Recruitment

No activities in January.


10.2. Commercial IT System

Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) has been successfully performed from Sept. 11 to 14 in Glasgow. Current Built of ECS passed the FAT acc. contract with 0 Level I, 1 Level II, 7 Level III, 24 Level IV observations. Respective Punch List was agreed and processed by AMOR. The new release was made available to OLT on Nov. 14 and has been operated in a test- and development-environment. Additionally, Amor set up for this release the production environment in December to operate the system under real-time conditions simulating the future commercial phase of the project. Impact of the new AC on the Commercial IT System was analyzed and first set of most important changes has been specified as draft and sent to AMOR for review and cost estimation. AMOR provided cost estimates for 11 variations during January. These variations where structured by OLT in so-called Release Groups according priority and impact on the Current Build. Final review of specifications will be made together with Commercial Department for each Release Group. These work packages have to be implemented until Site Acceptance Test (SAT). AMOR provided test versions for the Accounting and the PIMS interface. Remote-Testing will be performed by OLT together with AMOR in the 2nd week of February.

11. COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES

11.1. Regulatory Issues

On January 4 OLT filed the administrative appeal toward AEEG’s Resolution 451/2012/R/Gas which suspends the Guarantee Factor for OLT. Such paper has been redacted by avv. Tommaso Salonico with the support of the regulatory working group. The first hearing that was scheduled by the Administrative Court on January 24 was postponed by OLT to February 7 to try to have more time to find a bilateral solution outside of the court with AEEG. On January 9 MSE sent to OLT (copy to AEEG) a letter signed by Mr Dialuce (head of the Energy Department) stating that in their view OLT should not be excluded from a possible access to the GF in case of a return to regulation, however the withdrawal from the TPA exemption would be subject to a formal approval by the MSE after a consultation with the AEEG. In this specific forum there might be the implementation of specific regulatory rules to the terminal to ensure that no excessive costs for the National gas system would arise. On January 23 OLT sent a letter asking AEEG to reconsider the criteria on which the resolution 451/2012/R/Gas is based specially taking into consideration the content of the aforementioned MSE letter. Since the terminal is next to come into operation, OLT asked AEEG to promptly solve this situation of regulatory uncertainty.

11.2. Commissioning of OLT Terminal

11.2.1. After LNG Leo charter agreement was reached between OLT and ERG in November 2012, the shareholders decided on January 15, to bring the LNG Leo into the dry dock in Singapore to start the modification works as soon as possible (expected February 13). The LNG Leo is supposed then to be again available around mid of March 2013. Since the commissioning phase has been recently postponed by Saipem (first cargo is now supposed to be unloaded on June 16) the LNG Leo should now be available long enough to allow ERG to find alternative use for it to reduce the costs for OLT in line with the contractual agreements. 11.2.2. The negotiations for the LNG supply term sheet with ERG have been almost finalized and all the previous pending issues have been finally agreed. Only the article related to the validity of the LNG purchase order should be better clarified. In the meantime OLT commercial dept is working on the downstream part of the commission process that is strongly linked to the LNG price purchase approval. The intention is to identify together with the shareholders the most convenient and less risky process for OLT in selling (directly or indirectly) gas into Italian gas market.
