EXEMPLAR CUSTOM LNG TRAINING PROGRAM

The program will consist of four days of training utilizing one full-mission simulator that is integrated with one assist tug simulator and can be configured to emulate a tractor, Z-drive or conventional drive tug. The curriculum will include the following:

Assuming the tug masters are experienced in the specific assist tug used, a short refresher review of assist tug principles will be provided with a focus on escorting, docking and undocking evolutions for large vessels with very high freeboards. Additionally, assist tug briefings can be expanded to include principles and technique relating to Z-drive and tractors and if needed conventional drive principles and techniques.

The pilots attending should all be experienced currently active pilots. The training program is designed to maximize simulation time training for each attendee. The primary goals of this course and its real-time simulation scenarios, classroom discussions, and debriefings are to familiarize and allow practice for all attendees with the following:

Familiarize pilots and tug masters with the unique handling characteristics and techniques relating to the escorting, docking and undocking LNG vessels in confined waterways and in and around LNG terminals.

Understand the special conditions, environmental limits, and layout of the LNG terminal berths basin and approaches.

Provide a minimum basic working knowledge of LNG & LNGC safety and security requirements and arrangements.

Upon satisfactory completion of either course, each participant will receive a certificate of attendance.

PARTICIPANTS

Maximum class size for each course is six (6) attendees generally consisting of a mix of vessel officers, pilots and tug masters. Recommended class mix can be three (3) vessel officers, two (2) maritime pilots, and one (1) tug master, but can be mixed based on training needs and requirements.

All participants will be required to provide positive identification and demonstrate appropriate written and verbal communication skills in the English language.

DURATION

The program is 4-day, or twenty-eight (28) hours in duration. Each day will be eight hours in length and include a (1) hour lunch break and discretionary AM and PM coffee breaks.

COURSE MATERIAL PROVIDED

Each vessel officer, pilot and tug master will be given a three-ring binder for maintaining personal notes and completed forms and records for their future reference. An overall report of any observed difficulties, unusual trends, general observations, and recommendations resulting from each class can be prepared by the simulation services provider and provided to the designated LNG representative or the individual attendees within two-weeks of the course completion date.

LNG Training and Simulation Overview-02-01-2017 Page 12 of 16

FACILITIES

All training will be accomplished on the full-mission simulator. The simulation exercises will use existing exercises databases that are compatible with the Transas simulator. Seven “in library” LNG ship models and three tug models are available for the exercise/scenario phase. Exercises can be run in one own-ship, or two-ownship mode. When operating in “two-ownship” mode, the second simulator will be operated by the tug master in an integrated exercise.

METHODOLOGY AND GENERAL SCHEDULE

The course will primarily consist of simulation exercises based on a generic or a specific waterway approach and LNG terminal model. All vessel models and terminal areas have been validated for operational accuracy. Each simulation debrief will be an integrated debrief (include all attendees) and address observations, remarks and recommendations pertaining to LNG vessel operations, pilot activities and assist tug operations. All debriefs will include review of the graphical print-out track data of the individual's simulation runs.

DAY 1

After a brief introduction and review of administrative procedures, a one-hour review of assist tug principles will be provided with a focus on escorting, docking and undocking evolutions for large vessels with very high freeboards. After the lectures, each attendee will be given an opportunity to review the handling characteristics of the four major classes of LNGC in open water conditions with no environmental effects. During this period, the tug master will be given an opportunity to review the handling characteristics and operating controls of the assist tug. This phase takes approximately one hour per attendee.

The afternoon will be spent familiarizing the attendees with the operating and terminal areas. Additionally, the attendees will work with integrating the LNG vessel and assist tug into the simulation exercise.

Exercises include:

⟩ Inbound from a sea buoy through a set of jetties (.5 hour) ⟩ Outbound from inside jetties to a sea buoy (.5 hour) ⟩ Demonstration of current effects (flood and ebb on LNGC140 and LNGC154) – (.5 hour) ⟩ Demonstration of wind effects (LNGC140 and LNGC154) – (.5 hour) ⟩ Approach berth pocket and berth LNGC140 on using tethered tugs (1.5 hours) ⟩ Depart berth pocket and berth using tethered tugs. (.5 hours)

DAY 2 The morning will start with a review and discussion of Day 1 activities. The balance of the morning will then be spent on a general overview LNG carrier operations and safety procedures. (Please note that this lecture can be moved to an evening class). Topics include:

⟩ Properties and Hazards of Liquefied Gas ⟩ Liquefied Gas Tanker Construction and Terminology ⟩ Tank Environmental Control Systems ⟩ Safety Procedures

LNG Training and Simulation Overview-02-01-2017 Page 13 of 16

⟩ Damage to LNGC Chocks and Bitts ⟩ Emergency Operations

The afternoon session will re-focus on simulation. Exercises will utilize LNGC216 (loaded and ballast conditions) models in a variety of environmental conditions.

⟩ Dock/undock on an east berth with NE wind and ebb current ⟩ Dock/undock on a west berth with SE wind/flood current and NW wind/ flood current ⟩ Introduce LNGC266 (if time permits)

DAY 3 This day will primarily focus on the issues related to transiting/berthing the largest LNGC models (266K loaded and ballast). Exercises will be based on simulation exercises used for validation tests and include:

⟩ Sea buoy to jetties ⟩ Jetties to sea buoy ⟩ Dock/undock on east docks ⟩ Dock/undock on west docks

DAY 4

The morning will continue the docking and undocking exercises using the LNGC266 models under environmental conditions reaching operational limits. The afternoon will be used to review previous exercises, anchoring, and failures.

SELECT LNG OPERATIONAL RESEARCH PROJECTS

COVE POINT LNG TERMINAL, CHESAPEAKE BAY

The Cove Point LNG Terminal has been expanded to accommodate the larger classes of liquefied natural gas carriers (LNGC) that include the QFLEX and QMAX vessels. Statoil contracted with MITAGS to program the Cove Point LNG Terminal, and make use of its existing library of QFLEX and QMAX LNGCS to assess the feasibility of berthing these larger vessels at the terminal. The primary goal was to review the number and bollard pull of the assist tugs necessary to safety berth / unberth the QFLEX vessels under the approved operational

conditions. A secondary objective was to also assess the QMAX tug requirements.

GOLDEN PASS LNG TERMINAL - SABINE RIVER LNG TERMINAL This project included the programming of seven (7) hydrodynamic LNG models and one tractor tug model. The Institute programmed the Sabine River into the simulators from the Sea Buoy (R/W “SB”) to the terminal. The area included all navigationally significant features displayed on a NOAA electronic chart. MITAGS also overlaid additional visual graphics; including the following: ⟩ West Shore near the Terminal. ⟩ East Shore near the Terminal. ⟩ West-North Shore near the Terminal. ⟩ Terminal Piers. ⟩ Island near the Terminal. ⟩ Pilot Station.

One of the most advanced operational research projects included over nineteen (19) different terminal and ship operators. Advanced bottom and current models were developed and programmed into the databases. Exxon Mobil was the project leader.

SOCIEDAD GNL MEJILLONES S.A. CHILE GDF-Suez LNG contracted with MITAGS to program the new LNG terminal in Port Mejillones, Chile. Existing LNGC hydrodynamic models were adjusted to handle similar to the LNCG Shuttle and FSRU. BW Captains, Chilean Pilots, and Svitzer Tug Masters trained together in interactive simulation to develop standard and emergency procedures for vessels berthing/un-berthing at this new terminal.

EXCELERATE - RIO DE JANEIRO, PECEM, AND BAHIA DE TODO OS SANTOS, BRAZIL

Excelerate Energy tapped MITAGS-PMI to program three LNG terminals in Brazil. The project included programming 173,000 cubic-meter FSRU. The tests assess the upper operational environmental limits and assist tug requirements. The terminals are located in Rio de Janeiro, Pecem, and Bahia de Todo os Santos, Brazil.
