LNG4004 through its “optimising engine” can generate schedules that give 5 – 10 % improvements in Trading result All figures i USD If you believe that an enhanced focus on the chartering operation can give a ‘mere’ 1 % improvement, you can spend a lot of money on a system that can do this – Maybe you should try LNG4004 ?
What can we optimize with LNG4004 ? If the operation is a profit centre, LNG4004 will use freight rates as income and all voyage costs as expenses Profit Centre If the operation is a cost centre, LNG4004 will disregard any freight rates and minimize the total voyage costs (fuel, port expenses and canal expenses) Cost Centre Very powerful tool If the operation involves trading, LNG4004 can deal with the trading opportunities and find a schedule that maximixzes the total profit where income elements are salesprice less purchase price less all voyage related costs. Trading Centre
Optimize the scheduling of your LNG fleet • Scheduling an LNG fleet is often a complicated task • Many alternative schedules mean we need a lot of calculations • Calculations by hand or even spreadsheet is time consuming • Which cargoes should be allocated to which vessels ? • Taking into account all constraints such as cargo size type of LNG, drafts, multi cargoes, train maintenance periods, ships drydockings etc • What speed should vessels be instructed to proceed at ? • How to make sure we reach loading window of cargoes at the same time as we save fuel costs • How to make sure we reach window for discharging cargo LNG4004 will automatically calculate alll cargo/ship combinations and present an optimal schedule
What is the need in the trading and operations of LNG vessels? • Ensure first class customer service • Safe transport within windows of loading • Avoid problems with storage facilities in export or receiving end • Make critical information available across the management team. • Enable exchange of alternative scenarios between geographical trading desks • Quick analysis of scenarios • Simulation of alternating scheduling and trading alternatives • Risk hedging • Analysis of exposure
What is LNG4004 used for ? • A new working process in trading and operations • Find good decisions in less time • maximize trading result or • minimize voyage costs • Optimizing Shipping • Optimizing the shipping from production trains to the customer receiving terminals • Best deployment of the fleet whereby we • Minimize waiting time • Meet windows for loading and discharging • Minimize voyage costs, ensure sufficient margins to operate safely and meet terminal capacities for loading and discharge • Schedule dockings and vessels to be taken in on tc or let out on tc • Re-schedule vessels when plants are out of operation because of maintenance etc LNG4004 Is a module within Route99 that is specially designed for LNG fleet scheduling
Ships fixed out on tc Contractual cargoes Spot cargoes Optimizing the scheduling of the LNG fleet EXPECTED CARGOES TONNAGE Own Ships Pool ships Ships on tc into our fleet LNG4004 • Alternative scenarios: • Increase in demand • Increased fuel costs • New COAs • Take vessels on tc • Etc.. • Reports and graphs: • Total fleet costs or profit • Sensitivity • Trading opportunities • Etc..

If the operation is a profit centre: The scheduling task is:Find a schedule for the fleet that maximizes the total Fleet TC result (*) LNG4004 Contract/APM and spot cargoes Fleet and Tc ships (*) In many operations the aim is to maximize a mixture of three numbers: TC result for own (pool) vessels + TC profit from vessels on TC + Relet profit =TOTAL BEST RESULT
What is the need in the trading and operations ? • Ensure first class customer service • Safe transport within windows of loading • Avoid problems with storage facilities in export or receiving end • Make critical information available across the management team. • Enable exchange of alternative scenarios between geographical trading desks • Quick analysis of scenarios • Simulation of alternating scheduling and trading alternatives • Risk hedging • Analysis of exposure
LNG4004: Enabling quick response to changes in markets or operations • The plan is nothing – planning is everything • The shipping environment changes continuously but the most opportune schedules rarely emerge from unplanned response to immediate needs. • Quickly react to changes • R99 has been designed for use in the regular re-scheduling of the fleet that is required when vessels fall out of position or when changes occur in commitment or in the spot market. • The ability to automatically generate the optimum fleet schedule • for any specified situation enables the scheduler to explore in detail the future consequences of his immediate decisions. LNG40004automatically calculates hundreds of alternative schedules in order to find the best
The visual schedule – which can also be used for interactive scheduling
What can we offer ? • CVA - chartering value analysis • In order to identify what your company can achieve in savings by using LNG4004, NMS offers a fixed fee analysis where we take parts or whole of the fleet and run the data through LNG4004 on our computer. • Package System • LNG4004 can be delivered as a self-sustaining package with complete input interface and reporting. The modules offered include voyage estimating, voyage accounting, portfolio analysis and pool management • Tailor-made system • LNG4004 is modular in design and can be adapted to special requirements. • The ”Engine” • The ”engine” can be delivered as a DLL or EXE in order to integrate with existing software or IT systems that the company might have.
