Agenda Introduction Development Overview Anti Hoarding Mechanism
Anti hoarding mechanism: Background • Dragon granted exemption from regulated TPA February 2005 • Ofgem granted exemption on understanding that Dragon would be “providing facilities for secondary trading and anti-hoarding mechanisms” • BG and Petronas as Primary Shippers have right to sell capacity to third parties (secondary trading) • A “last resort” product - only needed if Primary Shippers not using capacity or bilateral secondary trading negotiations not concluded • Primary Shippers involvement is critical given need to empty storage tanks • Dragon and the Primary Shippers have developed an effective anti hoarding mechanism • Worked with regulatory consultants to ensure best practice
Anti hoarding mechanism: Product Design • FIRM PRODUCT: Consisting of berth slot with equivalent storage and send out • Each Primary Shipper (BG or Petronas) responsible for managing and auctioning their own berth slots • BILATERAL CONTRACT: Agreement between relevant Primary Shipper (BG or Petronas) and third party, avoids 3 way agreement with Dragon. • SPACE: Primary Shipper will ensure there is sufficient space in the tank to accept a cargo • DELIVERY: Primary Shipper will take delivery of LNG at the import terminal • REDELIVERY: Gas will be redelivered to the third party customer at the NBP on a flat basis over a 10 day period after the vessel has completed offloading • Third party does not need to book UK entry capacity • Simple pass through of transport related charges
