The move positions Endesa with aNorth American LNG supply
thatwould potentially enable it togrow in South America,
accordingto price reporting agency Icis. Theutility has power
generation facil-lites in Brazil, Colombia, Chile,Peru and
Argentina.
Carboex, Endesas shippingsubsidiary, operates as a fuel trad-ing
company and historically hastransported coal and LNG.
Endesaacquired a 61.9 percent stake inCarboex, formerly known as
So-ciedad Espanola De Carbon Exte-rior, in 1992. The company
isbased in Madrid, Spain.
Carboex in 2011 chartered LNGvessels but also relies upon
ex-shippurchases. It signed a deal in 2008to supply Brazilian oil
and gasmajor Petrobras at regasificationterminals in Rio de Janeiro
andCear, reported Brazilian newspa-per O Globo. It is thought to be
intalks with Petrobras for potentialuse of an FSRU, reports
Icis.
When the SPA starts on comple-tion of the Corpus Christi LNG
in2018, Endesa will buy about 0.75million tonnes per annum of LNGon
an FOB basis for twenty yearswith a ten year extension option.The
purchase price for the LNGwill be indexed to the monthlyHenry Hub
price and include afixed price element.
Endesa had previously pur-chased 1.5 million tonnes perannum of
LNG with the project, sothe total is now about 2.25 milliontonnes
per annum.
The Corpus Christi project,which may see its final
environ-mental impact statement state-ment arrive from FERC
thisOctober, is awaiting export licenceapproval by the US
Department of
Energy (DOE) to allow it to ship tonon-free trade agreement
coun-tries like Japan.
GasLog acquires six LNGships from BG GroupShipping company
GasLog, head-quartered in Monaco, has movedto acquire six LNG
carriers fromMethane Services Limited, a ship-ping unit of British
oil and gascompany BG Group, three outrightand three on a
sale-leaseback.
It agreed a sale leaseback forthree Methane Services
Limitedvessels built in 2007, for whichGasLog has provided
technicalmanagement since delivery andalso supervised
construction.
It will buy the ships beingleased back for an aggregate costof
$468 million and charter backto the group for average
six-yearinitial terms.
To prevent the vessels from re-delivering at the same
time,GasLog will stagger the charters toMethane Services Limited in
termsof 5.5 years, 6 years and 6.5 years.It will do the same with
the ships itacquired outright from BG Group.
BG Group will be able to extendcharters on two of the three
ves-sels it is leasing, with an option toextend either three or
five years.
The vessels acquired on saleleaseback are sister ships to
thevessels acquired outright, whichwere also technically managed
byGasLog. Each vessel on leasebackis steam powered and has a
capac-ity of 145,000 cubic meters.
Paul Wogan, CEO of GasLog,said, The transaction supportsour
strategy of consolidating theLNG carrier market by acquiringhigh
quality assets.
The ships will be charteredback to an affiliate of BG Group,thus
increasing our backlog of con-tracted revenue to almost $3
bil-lion. This strengthens ourunderlying business and provides
avery strong base from which tocontinue to expand our fleet inthe
future.
The closing, expected in thethird quarter of this year, is
sub-ject to definitive documentationand necessary financing.
GasLog obtained financial com-mitments from Citibank in
Londonfor a $325.5 million credit facilityand a bridge loan
facility. It mayalso pursue alternative capital-raising
transactions to fund a por-tion of the vessel purchase price,in
which case it would not expectto borrow under the bridge
loanfacility, it said.

The group has had an office in Sin-gapore since before 1999,
where ithas 70 employees. From the officeit delivers LNG via
Singapore LNGimport terminal to industrial cus-tomers regionally
including six largescale power generation companies,making use of
20 LNG vessels.
The office is credited withopening the Singapore LNG marketby
supplying the first 3 milliontonnes per annum of LNG.
It recorded an all time highvolume of regasification rate in
aday in early April, demonstratingthe rapid increase in LNG
marketshare and contribution to energysecurity in Asia, said the
group.
BG Group last year had securedan entire floor at Asia Square
toaccommodate future growth. Halfof the 16,000sqft space was
fittedout and occupied as of in spring of 2013, reported Indesign
LiveSingapore.
MarketsBG Group estimates global LNGdemand will increase at 5
percentthrough 2025, led by Asian demand,and calls the decision to
move the management of the unit toSingapore strategic.
BG Group is looking to supportSingapore as it increases
capacityat the LNG terminal on Jurong Is-
land and considers a second LNGterminal.
The group also expects a spikein its LNG supply. Projects it
seesas potentially adding to its supplythis year include 8 million
tonnesper annum from Australian CurtisLNG project in the fourth
quarter,and 5.5 million tonnes per annumfrom US Sabine Pass

The gas subsidiary of Indonesia'sstate-run energy company
Perta-mina announced it was possiblylaunching a joint venture with
national shipping company (Pelni)to use LNG as a marine fuel,
reported Indonesian newspaperJakarta Post.
It agreed to conduct a study onusing LNG as fuel to bunker
Pelnisvessels at the start of the month.Studies will also cover the
abilityof Pelni vessels to use LNG.
Pelni operates twenty-six ships;twenty-three of these are
passengerships that serve a variety of routeswithin the Indonesian
archipelago.
Pertamina Gas could boost itsgas sales by moving into the
trans-portation fuel market, it said.
Pertagas has previously collab-orated with Indonesian
private
mining company IndomincoMandiri, piloting LNG as fuel
forvehicles used in mining activities.
The number of the locallyflagged vessels grew over 200 per-cent
from 2005, when the govern-ment began to require all
vesselsoperating in Indonesian waters tobe domestically owned.
Pelnis ship bunkering costsusing traditional fuels
currentlyamount to 65 percent of its opera-tional expenses. Much of
Pelnisfleet is running on subsidized fuel.
Pertagas said infrastrucre ques-tions remain, such as
establishingLNG supply, jetty and storage forvessels on the
Jakarta-Medan route.
LNG TerminalsIndonesia has three LNG terminals,Aceh, Bontang and
Tangguh. In-
donesias LNG import terminal Bon-tang is supplied by Offshore
Ma-hakam PSC (50% Total, 50% Inpex),Sanga Sanga PSC (23.13%
Vico,26.25% ENI (ex-Lasmo), 26.25% BP,20% CPC Taiwan, 4.37%
UniverseGas and Oil (Osaka Gas) and EastKalimantan PSC (100%
Unocal).
Its Aceh terminal, where Perta-mina reportedly takes 70
percent
of output, is supplied by ExxonMo-bil North Sumatra PSC.
According to data from Apecconsulting, Pertaminas down-stream
ownership of Bontang LNGterminal consists of a 55 percentstake,
although ExxonMobil hashad a 30 percent stake and JapanIndonesia
LNG has a 15 percentstake.
Indonesian state ferry operator Pelni mulls LNG bunkering
Indonesian gas utility Pertagas (Pertamina Gas) and state shipping
company Pelni (PT Pelayaran) have agreedto do a feasibility study
for LNG bunkering of Pelnis ships.

NEWS LNG Shipping News 17 April 20144
Lloyds Register previously conducted an LNG bunkering
Infrastructure Study in 2011, and the number of ports taking an
interest in LNG bunkering byparticipating in the survey,
hasincreased since then.
Of 22 ports surveyed, aboutseven plan on using LNG bunkerbarges
to bunker a range of vessels.
The ports considered contain-erships, passenger roro, and
portsupport vessels the best ship typesfor LNG bunkering. Other
shiptypes seen as bunkering candi-dates included bulk
carrier,tankers, port support vessels andpassenger cruise
vessels.
Around 59 percent of ports sur-veyed already had specific
plansfor LNG bunkering infrastructure,the survey found.
The barge at berth configura-tion currently popular for
tradi-tional oil bunkering waspreferred as an LNG bunkeringmethod
over other bunkeringmethods such as using a fixedpipeline, or
having the ship to bebunkered come in to a bunkeringberth.
A majority of ports generallythink LNG will be a viable deep-sea
bunker fuel within the next3-10 years. By 2020 key Euro-pean ports
will be able to sup-port deep sea bunkeringoperations.
The vast majority of ports are
planning to source their LNG sup-plies from onshore gas
terminals,while a minority, about six ports,do not know where they
will getthe LNG yet. About ten ports planon storing the LNG on land
storagetanks, while one will use an FSRU.
A proportion of those surveyedsaid they planned on having anLNG
bunker market equivalent toaround 24 percent of the totalbunkering
volume at the port.
Around 12 expect the safety of bunkering operations to be
regulated by local and state requirements.
A minority of ports, 41 per-cent, said they would look to
external bodies to regulatebunkering companies rather thanenforcing
their own guidelines.There was near unanimous agree-ment among
ports that landsafety requirements need to be harmonised.
Market forces driver inLNG bunkering uptakeLloyds Register said:
Shipownerdemand, unsurprisingly, remainsthe biggest driver from the
portsperspective but availability of LNGinfrastructure has risen
from beingconsidered a low priority to thesecond most important
driverafter demand. Pricing is third.Most ports surveyed are in
theNorth American and Europeanemission Control Areas (ECAs).
Latifat Ajala, Lloyds Registers
senior market analyst said, Tradi-tional bunkering ports will
need tobe able to offer gas just as theyoffer the traditional
choice of fueloil or distillates today. Most LNGfuelled projects
seen so far arevery short haul, point to pointtrades where the
operator can se-cure and control gas supply re-gardless of the
global bunkeringmarkets inability to supply LNG.But gas can only
really take off ifsupply is more like orthodoxbunkering
arrangements.
Luis Benito, Lloyds Registersglobal marketing manager saysthe
survey shows ports are pre-pared to bunker LNG on conditionthat
they can get the LNG inex-pensively. Ports want to be gascapable
and they are planningfor a gas fuelled future. It seems
the obvious challenge is availabil-ity at a competitive price.
Willgas markets provide fuel thatshipowners will buy? We
believethat ports can make LNG avail-able safely but at what
price?Thats what everybody wants to know.
Seven ports plan on using LNG bunker barges, finds LR The latest
Lloyds Register survey focussing on bunkering in selected European
and American ports, LNG
Bunkering Infrastrucure Survey 2014, found that 33 percent
expect to use LNG bunker barges. LNG bunkering
operations will begin in the next 5 years for 76 percent of the
ports.

GTT marketing Mark V, LNG cargo /bunkering fuel tank
Mark V is now being marketed foruse in LNG carriers to be
con-structed in 2016 and delivered in2018. It can also be used in
otherkinds of vessels as a fuel tank, forexample those operating in
newEuropean and American sulfur-emissions control areas (ECAs).
The Mark V tank uses a differ-ent secondary membrane from
itspredecessor. Made of welded, cor-rugated Invar, it will make
shipyardinstallation less complicated.
Mark III uses a layer of alu-minum between two layers ofglass
cloth and resin.
GTTs communications managerEstelle Vidal said, This main
dif-ference on the design will impactthe erection procedure of the
sys-tem. With Mark V, specific skills likebonding are not required
to ensurethe erection of the system.
Like Mark III, the system incor-
porates solutions for a low, rela-tively flexible daily LNG
cargo boiloff rate (BOR), at a guaranteed 0.09percent of cargo
volume per day.
These systems are designed toequip the next generation of
LNGcarriers featuring more efficientpropulsion systems and hulls
re-sulting in an excess of boil-off gasto fuel propulsion
needs.
High efficiency propulsion sys-tems include slow speed
systemslike MANs MEGI and Warsila's RT-FLex50DF.
MarketsGTT is the market leader for LNGcarrier cargo tanks, and
the LNGbunkering fuel tank market is arelatively new addition to
its LNG-tank offerings for FPSOs, FSRUs aswell as onshore storage
tanks.
Last month GTT presented theMark V system at Gastech and an-
nounced new developments in itsfuel-tank related services.
Themanufacturer is currently expand-ing the group's range of
servicesfor the LNG transportation andstorage sector.
GTT is marketing LNG carrierdesigns incorporating its
newcargo/fuel tanks for new LNGshipping markets like regional
dis-tribution, coastal trade, majorrivers.
Such vessels may be operatedby satellite terminals,
industrialusers, and LNG bunker station operators.
French LNG tank manufacturer GTT explained its new LNG
cargo/fuel tank, Mark V,
launched last year, is an updated version of its market-leading
Mark III system that
has been designed for an optimization of the construction
process and cost.
GTTs LNG-as-fuel training toopen in JuneAs part of its LNG tank,
smalland mid-scale product expan-sion, GTT is hosting a new setof
training courses at a newtraining centre in its headquar-ters near
Paris, at Saint-Rmy-ls-Chevreuse.
The first courses will startat the end of June, focusing onthe
training required for shipofficers on LNG Carriers, andthe
practical aspects to beconsidered when using LNG asa fuel.
GTT is already includingtraining at the centre and useof the
hotline available to takequeries at all hours of the dayin service
agreements for LNGshipowners.
The training centre willoffer a portfolio of coursescovering LNG
handling opera-tions in the maritime and shorebased sectors.
Courses will be taught by ex-perienced mariners. The centreis
equipped with an LNG opera-tion simulator, and equipmentused in
training will includeGTTs technologies as well asother relevant
technologies.
GTT already hosts moregeneral courses on LNG cargo tank
management forshipowners, classification societies, repair
shipyards, gas companies.

TGE Marine to supply LNG fuel systems forAmerican con-ro
vessels, oil tanker
TGE Marine won a set of contractsconcerning fuel tanks for
con-rovessels, called El Coqu and Tano,for delivery in 2017. The
orderwas contracted by US shipperCrowley Maritime Corporationwith
US tug-and-ferry shipyardHalter Marine Shipyard and Ger-man
dual-fuel engine supplier MANDiesel & Turbo.
Running on LNG as their pri-mary fuel, the vessels outfittedwith
C-class LNG fuel systems willoffer a 38 percent reduction inCO2
emissions per container ascompared with existing fossilfuels, said
Crowley Marine. Thevessels will be operated on a routeserving
Puerto Rico.
Each con-ro vessel will havethree 770 cubic metre vacuum
in-sulated LNG storage tanks. The
system will feature high pres-sure/low pressure pumps,
BOG-compressors, vaporizers, utilityand safety system as well as
acontrol and alarm board.
TGE Marine also received aseparate order of an LNG fuel sys-tem
for an oil tanker with an un-named client contracted bydual-fuel
engine supplier withRolls-Royce Marine. Each tank willbe vacuum
insulated, have 150cubic metre capacity, and includegas processing
equipment to sendnatural gas to the main engine.
Far East, European market potentialHaving signed three further
con-tracts for high pressure and lowpressure LNG fuel gas systems
insuch a short period of time proves
our ambition to become one ofthe leading contractors formedium
to large size LNG fuel gaspackages, commented TGE Ma-rines CEO,
Manfred Kver.
We receive more and moreenquiries from the US, Europeanand the
Far East market for dif-ferent kinds of merchant vesselsand believe
that, with severalannouncements to invest in theLNG infrastructure
for bunkering,this market will gain further momentum.
Illustration of LNG-bunkered co-ro vessel
TGE Marine said that it signed contracts for design of LNG fuel
gas packages
destined for a converted oil tanker and also two American con-ro
vessels, which
functionally combine a roll-on/roll-off and a container
vessel.
