Methanol is a Future Proofed Fuel Capable of Meeting Increasingly Stringent Regulations  

• IMO – ECA’s & Global Sulfur Regulations;  Tier III NOx regulations for new vessels in 2016 in North America 

• Regional regulations developing – China ECA’s(Dec 2015)• Future: Global NOx? Particulate Matter? CO2? Methanol is an ultra‐clean fuel which can meet increasingly stringent emissions 

regulations

Marine Fuel Emissions Comparison

• Methanol (MEOH) achieves low Sulfur, NOx, PM & bridge to lower CO2 in the future (renewable methanol)

Methanol Fuel Costs are Competitive

• Methanol dual fuel engine allows you to switch between cheapest fuel (MGO or methanol) 

• Methanol fuel costs have been lower than MGO in most regions historically and are competitive even in current low oil price environment

Methanol is Available Around the World

* Terminal locations are representative based on available information and is not a complete list 

• Widely traded globally; readily available through existing  global terminal infrastructure• Modest cost to build new terminal capacity or leverage off of existing diesel infrastructure• Methanol Industry well positioned to supply global marine fuels industry

Methanex’s Waterfront Shipping Launching 7 New Methanol Flex‐fuel vessels in 2016

• MAN 2‐stroke, ME‐LGI Methanol flex fuel engines

• 7 x 50,000 dwt vessels• April – October 2016 delivery dates• First two vessels launched in Korea April 2016

• Solid business case – modest incremental cost offset by flex‐fuel cost savings

• Classification Bureaus ‐ DNV‐GL, Class NK
