Executive Summary

The CYnergy Action, co-financed by the European Union’s Connecting Europe Facility

(CEF), provides a holistic approach towards the adoption of Natural Gas (NG) in Cyprus

and the development of a sustainable and fully functional NG market for providing clean

and affordable energy to the end user. The Action, as part of the Orient/East-Med TEN-T

Corridor, takes as a focal point the floating Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Facility to be

developed in Cyprus and aims at building the main and supporting infrastructure for the

introduction, supply and use of NG by the sectors of transport and energy in Cyprus. As

part of this Action, Ocean Finance studied the LNG, as a marine fuel: the potential demand

of the TEN-T Core Port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko and of the TEN-T

Comprehensive Port of Larnaca in Cyprus for a period of 10 years, from 2020 to 2030. The

LNG demand for the under-study years was calculated in terms of smaller periods of 5 years

and for each port separately. In order to determine in a satisfying manner, the most sufficient

and sustainable logistics’ solutions, Ocean Finance suggested the required distribution and

bunkering means, be integrated in the supply chain for the bunkering operations of the LNG-

fuelled vessels calling at the abovementioned ports. The report concentrates on the specific

LNG as marine fuel demand for the ports of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko and Larnaca

and concludes by offering some recommendations on the logistics’ requirements in terms

of distribution and bunkering means.

1. Introduction

The main objective of this report is to forecast the demand of LNG as a marine fuel deriving

from vessels calling at the TEN-T ports of Larnaca and Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko,

during the under-study years (2020 to 2030).

In the first part, the report presents a statistical analysis of the data obtained from Cyprus

Ports Authority (CPA), concerning the marine traffic of the two aforementioned ports, in

order to use it as a key parameter for the forecast of the future LNG demand.

Consequently, the report will bring into focus the operational characteristics of the vessels

that ordinarily call at the ports of Lemesos Terminal 2 - Vassiliko and Larnaca. For achieving

a thorough understanding of the ports’ traffic, we will observe these vessels under the

aspect of both their category/type and size/capacity. The study will utilize conclusions

concerning the typical size, age, deadweight capacity (DWT), total engine power, average

service speed, specific fuel consumption and other characteristics of the regularly calling

vessels that will be used for forecasting the future LNG demand starting from the year 2020

until 2030.

Based on the statistical analysis of the marine traffic and the above methodology, this report

will result to conclusions that will be used as input variables or general assumptions, for

estimating the demand for LNG in these two ports. The last part of this report aims at

suggesting solutions concerning the logistics requirements for both ports, as well as the

distribution and bunkering means that will be used for covering the estimated LNG fuel

demand of the under-study ports.

A basic background idea for carrying out this report, is that in the forthcoming years the

following conditions should be satisfied:

1. EU rules, Regulations and Directives, such as following, will be put into force so that the

European strategy and policies for environmentally friendlier energy solutions will be

fulfilled.

a) IMO – Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI);

b) IMO – Energy Efficiency and the Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships (Chapter

4, MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI);

c) The EU Strategies on Adaptation to Climate Change and on Clean Power for

Transport – a European alternative fuels strategy;

d) The EU Strategy for Low Emission Mobility;

e) EC Directive 2012/33/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council amending

Council Directive 199/32/EC as regards the Sulphur content of marine fuels;

f) Athens Declaration – Review of the EU’s Maritime Transport Policy until 2018 and

Outlook to 2020;

g) Commission White Paper – Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area –

Towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system;

h) MRV Regulation (Regulation 2015/757/EU of the European Parliament and of the

Council of 29 April 2015 on the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon

dioxide emissions from maritime transport, and amending Directive 2009/16/EC;

i) USC NVIC No 01-2011- Guidance to waterfront LNG facilities;

j) IACS- LNG Bunkering Guidelines;

k) ISO Standard 28460:2010 for installation and equipment for LNG ship to shore

interface and port operations.

2. Directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2014

on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure, indicates that the major Core and

Comprehensive Ports of EU will have a pioneering role in the adoption of LNG, as an

alternative marine fuel, by establishing the required infrastructure, integrated in the

future LNG distribution and supply system by 2025. The development of the network for

this alternative fuel will be implemented in compliance with the European strategy and

policies for cleaner transport.

The abovementioned conditions play an important role for the implementation and the

establishment of LNG as a marine fuel in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and Southern

Europe, in general. The number of ships that choose LNG for propulsion is constantly rising.

However, in order to establish LNG as a marine fuel, the widespread use of LNG, a global

network infrastructure as well as an efficient logistics chain are required. One can

understand that this report will determine the demand and supply by taking into

consideration that the above conditions are fulfilled. In any different case the imminent

equilibrium that will be established may lead to significantly different results.

2. Port of Larnaca: LNG as a marine fuel demand

estimation

The main objective of this chapter is to estimate the demand for LNG as a marine fuel

deriving from vessels during the under-study years (2020-2025 and 2025-2030) at the

Comprehensive TEN-T Port of Larnaca. First of all, a general description of the shipping

activity in the port is provided in order to assess the demand for LNG and therefore, to

proceed with the supply chain analysis. It should be noted that the cases, on which this

analysis was based, were designed with the aim to provide reliable results.

2.1 Port of Larnaca: Marine Traffic Analysis

The Port of Larnaca is the second, largest, port in Cyprus and it is located in its southeast

part. Larnaca port is situated approximately 2 km from the town centre and on the landside

is surrounded by residential units. On the north side there are oil product installations and

at the south side it borders with Larnaca marina.

It is a multiuse port and extending to 445,000 square meters. The port accommodates all

types of loads from unpacked (animal food, grain, gypsum), to conventional (lumber, iron,

fertilizers, cars) as well as oil products.

For the year 2016, calls from tanker and general cargo vessels in the Port of Larnaca are

significantly higher compared to the number of calls that refer to bulk carriers and vehicles

carrier vessels, as it can be easily derived by the contents of the following table and graph.

Table 1: Calls by type of vessel. Figure 1: Frequency of calls per type of vessel.

2.2 LNG Fuel Demand Estimation Methodology

To appropriately estimate the LNG demand at the Port of Larnaca, two basic elements are

needed: the number of refueling that will take place and the fuel quantities to be supplied.

For determining the LNG demand, we delineated the profile of the maritime industry in this

port, by creating a database which includes all the vessels that visited the Port of Larnaca

in 2016 based on facts provided by Cyprus Ports Authority. Then, we proceeded to a

detailed description for each ship collecting data from Clarksons SIN (Shipping Intelligence

Network). The categories of data gathered are presented below:

o Ship Type

o Hull Dimensions

o Capacity (e.g. DWT and Cars)

o Age

o Total installed power

o Average service speed

o Number of arrivals in the port

Based on these general technical and operational characteristics, a series of groupings was

conducted in order to categorize the total arrivals on the basis of specific characteristics for

each vessel.

In particular, the initial grouping was based on the type of ship according to the following

categorisation: tanker vessels, bulk carrier vessels, general cargo vessels and vehicle

carrier vessels. This grouping assisted in drawing inferences as to the routes served by the

vessels and thus the geographical areas in which they operate.

Having categorized all vessels according to their type, a further grouping was formed

allowing a more comprehensive description of each category calling at the port. More

specifically, for tankers, general cargo and bulk carrier vessels, a second grouping was

performed according to their age and deadweight capacity (DWT), while for vehicle carrier

vessels grouping was performed according to their age and car capacity.

The calculation of the number of LNG refueling procedures, that will take place, was

estimated in this study, mainly based on the parameters of capacity (car capacity or DWT)

and age of each vessel. These two features are directly related to the decision-making

process for the shipowners to adopt LNG as an alternative marine fuel. In addition, these

initiatives will significantly contribute to the institutionalization of LNG in the wider

Orient/East-Med Corridor, that will be achieved with more intensive rates.

On the one hand, the criterion of capacity for each vessel, determines the time she spends

in the determined Emission Control Areas (ECAs, SECAs). For example, general cargo

ships with DWT capacity up to 2,000 tons are active in the transit of goods from hub ports

Page 10: REPORT ON PORT OF LARNACA AND PORT OF ......The Port of Larnaca is the second, largest, port in Cyprus and it is located in its southeast part. Larnaca port is situated approximately

Report on Port of Larnaca and Port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko LNG Demand and Supply Chain Analysis

7

to neighboring spoke ports, which leads them to spend a long period of time in these sea

areas, unlike ships with a capacity over 7,000 tons that are dedicated mostly to transoceanic

voyages (commercial routes Asia-Europe) and stay in the ECAs relatively little time.

On the other hand, the age of the vessel contributes significantly to this report, due to the

fact that it is connected directly to the payback period of the investment required. The usual

economic life time of the vessels is 25 years. For this reason, we assumed that general

cargo vessels, bulk carrier vessels, vehicle carrier vessels and tanker vessels up to 15 years

will tend to shift to LNG. Therefore, to categorize the number of arrivals by age we followed

age groupings every 5 years until the age of 25 years (this does not apply for general cargo

and vehicle carrier vessels) while older vessels joined in a single category.

In order to calculate the estimated amount of supply that every Class of vessel needs, we

used as an assumption that the distance to be travelled (this does not apply for tanker and

vehicle carrier vessels), is approximately 500 nautical miles until the next refuel. This

distance is considered ideal in relation to the location of Larnaca from other neighbouring

commercial and tourist ports.

Regarding data on typical consumption rates, we used as model certificate dual fuel engines

using 100% gas fuel. For this reason, we assumed a perfect dual fuel engine, which

produces at least the average of the total installed power of that Class of vessel. The

selection of the engines was made based on data from major manufacturers such as MAN

SE and Wärtsilä.

In conclusion, the Classification of vessels facilitates the process of the estimation of the

number of refuelling ships using LNG as a marine fuel in the forthcoming years (reference

years 2020-2025 and 2025-2030) as well as the estimated refuelling LNG.

2.2.1 Port of Larnaca: Tanker Sector Overview

In 2016, there were 400 calls by 133 tanker vessels at the Port of Larnaca. Liquid fuels

transfer is one of the most significant activities of the port. To be able to make a better

approximation of tanker vessels’ profile that visited the port in 2016, a Classification of the

sample was made based on their DWT.

The figure below depicts the frequency of the vessels according to their DWT.

Page 11: REPORT ON PORT OF LARNACA AND PORT OF ......The Port of Larnaca is the second, largest, port in Cyprus and it is located in its southeast part. Larnaca port is situated approximately

Figure 2: Frequency of tanker vessels by capacity on DWT.

By selecting as a criterion, the DWT capacity, the sample was divided into two main

categories:

• Class A (≤ 29,999 tons), and

• Class B (≥ 30,000 tons)

As it can be observed from the figure below, the number of Class B vessels is significantly

higher than the population of Class A, namely 75 versus 45. In particular, vessels of the

second Class had three times more calls than those of the first, i.e. 332 and 108 calls

respectively. The figure below demonstrates the percentage of tanker vessels belonging to

each Class.

Figure 3: Percentage of tanker vessels in each category for the year 2016.

It should be noted that the age of vessels is an essential factor in Classifying vessels for

the decision to adopt LNG as a marine fuel, due to the fact that it is directly related to the

payback period of the required investment.

Figure 4: Percentage of calls by age group.

It is observed form the above figure that the majority of calls, 61% was made by vessels of

age between 5-10 years, while vessels over 25 years old exhibit the second highest

percentage, 26%. Moreover, the same number of calls was exhibited by the other vessels

categories.

More specifically, the ages of the vessels, which are considered ideal to use LNG as a

marine fuel is up to 15 years. It is noteworthy to mention that the abovementioned vessels

made a total of 227 calls in year 2016 representing 68.4% of the total calls at Larnaca Port.

Estimated LNG Supply Volume

Regarding the estimated LNG supply volume, the engines used were mostly 4-stroke.

Tankers that call at the port of Larnaca had an average engine power of 3,564 kW and their

average service speed was at 9.3 knots.

The typical 4-stroke dual fuel engine that was selected comes from Wärtsilä, in order to

assess the special consumption of fuel gas. This is the model 9L34DF. This particular

engine delivers 4,050 Kw at 750 rpm with a consumption of 7,770 kJ/kWh ≈ 142.59 gr/kWh.

The typical distance that we assumed a vessel needs to move from one port to another and

carry out refuelling procedures was approximately 750 nautical miles. The required time for

a typical vessel of this Class to cover this distance is slightly more than 81 hours.

Therefore, the required fuel supply amount is 41.1 tons ≈ 91.1 m3 LNG.

2.2.1.2. Tanker ≥ 30,000 tons

The figure below depicts the distribution of tanker calls above 30,000 tons, namely Class

B, as a function of age. The average age was close to 11.47 years.

Figure 5: Percentage of calls by age group.

It is worth mentioning that all of these vessels made a total of 92 calls in year 2016 It is

observed from the above figure that the majority of the calls, 59% was made by vessels

aged between 10-15 years, while vessels between 5-10 years exhibit the second highest

percentage, 22%. Vessels aged up to 5 years old made a relatively small number of calls,

no more than 7%. Finally, vessels between 15-20 years old made approximately 12% of

calls.

In particular, the age group for vessels, which are considered ideal to use LNG as fuel is up

to 15 years corresponding to 87.6% of the total calls at Larnaca Port.

Estimated LNG supply volume

Vessels from this Class that visited the port of Larnaca had an average engine power of

10,136 kW and their average service speed was at 10.8 knots.

A typical 4-stroke dual fuel engine, which was selected came from Wärtsilä, in order to meet

the needs of the engine model. This is the model 12V50DF, which delivers 11,700 Kw at

514 rpm with specific consumption 134.1 gr/kWh.

The typical distance that we assumed a vessel needs to travel from a neighbouring port

until the next refuelling point in the port of Larnaca is approximately 750 nautical miles. The

time for a typical vessel of this Class to cover this distance is slightly more than 69 hours.

Therefore, the required fuel supply amount is 94.4 tons ≈ 209.5 m3 LNG.

2.2.2 Port of Larnaca: General Cargo Sector Overview

In 2016, the port of Larnaca had 456 calls from 155 General Cargo vessels. To be able to

make a better approximation of general cargo vessels’ profile that visited the port in 2016,

a Classification of the sample was made based on their DWT.

The figure below depicts the frequency of the vessels according to the DWT.

Figure 6: Frequency of general cargo vessels by capacity on DWT.

By selecting as a criterion, the DWT capacity, the sample was divided into two main

categories:

• Class A (≤ 4,999 tons), and

• Class B (≥ 5,000 tons)

As it can be observed from the figure below, the number of Class A vessels is significantly

higher than the population of Class B, namely 95 versus 60. In particular, the vessels of the

first Class had almost two times more calls than those of the latter, i.e. 297 and 159 calls

respectively. The figure below shows the percentage of general cargo vessels belonging to

each Class.

calls, no more than 14% and 8% respectively. In addition, approximately the same number

of calls was exhibited by the vessels’ categories from 25-30 and 15-20 age groups. Finally,

vessels up to 5 years old represent about 1% of the calls.

The age of vessels, which is ideal for LNG fuel in this Class of general cargo is up to 15

years. It is notable that all of these vessels made a total of 35 arrivals in year 2016

representing 21.9% of the total calls at Larnaca Port.

Estimated LNG supply volume

Vessels from this Class that visited Larnaca Port had an average engine power of 2,848.22

kW and an average service speed at 8.7 knots.

The typical 4-stroke dual fuel engine, which was selected came from Wärtsilä in order to

meet the needs of the engine model. This is the model 9L34DF. This particular engine

delivers 4,050 kW at 750 rpm with specific consumption 7,700 kJ/kWh ≈ 142.59 gr/kWh.

The typical distance that a vessel needs to travel from a neighboring port until the next

refuelling point in the port of Larnaca is approximately 500 nautical miles. The required time

for a typical vessel of this Class to cover this distance is slightly more than 58 hours.

Therefore, the required fuel supply amount is 23.4 tons ≈ 51.9 m3 LNG.

2.2.3 Port of Larnaca: Bulk Carrier Sector Overview

In 2016, the port of Larnaca had 36 calls from 19 bulk carrier vessels. To be able to make

a better estimation of the vessels’ profile that visited the port in 2016, a segmentation of

vessels was made based on their DWT. The figure below, demonstrates the frequency of

the vessels according to the DWT.

Figure 10: Frequency of Bulk carrier ships by capacity on DWT.

By selecting as a criterion, the DWT capacity, the sample was divided into two main

categories:

• Class A (≤ 14,999 tons), and

• Class B (≥ 15,000 tons)

As it can be observed from the figure below, the number of vessels of Class A is about little

more than the vessels of Class B. In particular, the vessels of the first Class had almost

three times more calls than those of the latter, i.e. 27 and 9 calls respectively. The figure

below depicts the percentage of all vessels belonging to each Class.

Figure 12: Percentage of arrivals by age group.

It is observed from the above figure that the majority of the calls, 41% was made by vessels

with age between 10 to 15 years old, while vessels between 5 to 10 years old represent the

second highest percentage, 37%. What is more, approximately the same number of calls

was exhibited by vessels’ categories from 15 to 20 and 20 to 25 years old.

The age of vessels, which is ideal for using LNG as fuel in this type of vessel is up to 15

years. All these vessels made a total of 21 calls in 2016 representing 77,8% of the total

calls at the Larnaca Port.

Estimated LNG supply volume

As for the estimated LNG supply volume, the engines used were mostly 4-stroke. However,

in this type we should point out the role of the power generators as they constitute a

significant percentage of total installed power capacity. Vessels of this Class that visited the

port of Larnaca had an average engine power of 2,552 Kw and their average service speed

was at 9.79 knots.

A typical engine model we selected came from Wärtsilä which is 6L34DF. This engine

model delivers 2,700 kW at 750 rpm with specific consumption 7,629 kJ/kWh ≈ 141.27

gr/kWh.

The typical distance that we assumed a vessel needs to move from one port to another and

carry out refuelling procedures was approximately 500 nautical miles. The time required for

a typical vessel of this Class to cover this distance is slightly more than 51 hours.

Therefore, the required fuel supply amount is 18.41 tons ≈ 40.87 m3 LNG.

required for a typical vessel of this Class to cover this distance is slightly more than 45

hours.

Therefore, the required fuel supply amount is 38.42 tons ≈ 85.37 m3 LNG.

2.2.4 Port of Larnaca: Vehicle Carrier Sector Overview

In 2016, the port of Larnaca had 20 calls from 17 Vehicle Carrier vessels. To be able to

make a better estimation of the vessels’ profile that visited the port in 2016, the vessels

were divided in two categories according to the criterion of their load capacity in numbers

of cars. The figure below depicts the frequency of the vessels according to their car

capacity.

Figure 14: Frequency of vehicle carrier vessels by Car Capacity.

By selecting as a criterion, the car capacity, the sample was divided into two main

categories:

• Class A (≤ 6,499 cars), and

• Class B (≥ 6,500 cars)

As it can be observed from the below figure, the number of vessels of Class B is about little

more than the vessels of Class A. However, both Class A and Class B have approximately

the same number of calls, 9 and 11 calls respectively. The figure below shows the

percentage of all vessels belonging to each Class.

20

What is more, the age of ships, which is ideal for using LNG in this Class of vessel is up to

15 years. It is notable that all these vessels made a total of 6 calls in the year 2016

representing 66.7% of the total calls at the Larnaca Port.

Estimated LNG supply volume

As for the estimated LNG supply volume, the engines used were mostly 4-stroke. Vehicle

carriers of Class A that visited Larnaca Port had an average engine power of 11,082 kW

and their average service speed was at 12.9 knots.

A typical engine model 12V50DF came from Wärtsilä, which delivers 11,700 kW at 514 rpm

with specific consumption 7,258 kJ/kWh ≈ 134.4 gr/kWh.

The typical distance that we assumed a vessel needs to move from one port to another and

carry out refuelling procedures is approximately 500 nautical miles. The time required for a

typical ship of this Class to cover this distance is slightly more than 38.7 hours.

Therefore, the required fuel supply amount is 57.6 tons ≈ 127.8 m3 LNG.

2.2.1.8. Vehicle carrier ≥ 6,500 cars

The figure below depicts the distribution of vehicle carrier vessels’ calls over 6,499 cars

capacity, namely Class B, as a function of age. The average age was close to 6 years.

Figure 17: Percentage of arrivals by age group.

From the above figure, it can be easily observed that all calls at the port of Larnaca were

made by vessels up to 15 years. What is more, the ideal age for the vehicle carriers of Class

B to use LNG is up to 15 years. It is worth mentioning that all these vessels made a total of

11 arrivals in 2016 representing 100% of the total arrivals at the Larnaca Port.

21

Estimated LNG supply volume

Regarding the estimated LNG supply volume, the engines used were mostly 4-stroke.

Vehicle carriers from Class B that visited Larnaca Port had an average engine power of

14,109 kW and their average service speed was at 15.75 knots.

A typical engine model 8S50ME-C8.2-GI-TII came from MAN SE to meet the needs, which

delivers 13,270 Kw at 127 rpm with specific consumption 7,403 kJ/kWh ≈ 137.1 gr/kWh.

Moreover, the typical distance that we assumed a ship needs to travel from a neighbouring

port until the next refuelling point at the port of Larnaca is approximately 1000 nautical miles.

The time required for a typical vessel of Class B to cover this distance is slightly more than

63.5 hours.

Therefore, the required fuel supply amount is 122.8 tons ≈ 272.6 m3 LNG.

2.3 Larnaca Port: Estimated LNG volume for refuelling

As it has already been mentioned the calls that were reported in Larnaca Port reached the

total number of 952. This total refers to vessels of different types at a percentage of 47.9%

corresponding to General Cargo Vessels, 46.2% corresponding to Tanker Vessels, 3.8%

corresponding to Bulk Carrier Vessels and 2.1% to Vehicle Carrier Vessels. Based on these

statistics, we assume that at least the same categories of vessels will in the future occupy

the port.

In general, the potential LNG fuel demand is calculated by the combination of the previous

assumptions with the technical and operational characteristics of the typical vessels of each

category. The occurring LNG fuel demand for each category, as well as the prediction for

the total future LNG Demand for the years between 2020-2025 and 2025-2030 will be

presented in the following table.

More specifically, the expected LNG volume for refuelling in the Port of Larnaca was

calculated based on the following assumptions:

• The expected arrivals at the port of Larnaca for the under-study periods 2020-2025

and 2025-2030, were approximated for each vessel type and the subclasses of them

according to their distinctive criteria of Classification. This number was based on the

data provided by Cyprus Ports Authority for the year 2016.

• The average fuel delivery volume is based on assumptions, which we set for each

Class separately and have been analyzed in the above sections.

Page 25: REPORT ON PORT OF LARNACA AND PORT OF ......The Port of Larnaca is the second, largest, port in Cyprus and it is located in its southeast part. Larnaca port is situated approximately

Report on Port of Larnaca and Port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko LNG Demand and Supply Chain Analysis

22

• The percentage of ships that will use LNG as an alternative marine fuel in order to

comply with the environmental regulations set by European Union and IMO, has

been selected for each Class separately and is based on assumptions we used

about the capacity and age of each ship.

• The number of ships carrying out refuelling procedures at the port of Larnaca. In this

report, we assumed that the share of ships carrying out refuelling procedures is

approximately 25-30% of the share of the total calls with ship age up to 15 years for

each type of ship and its subclass. Based on the abovementioned parameters, we

ended up to the expected number of LNG bunker operations for the periods 2020-

2025 and 2025-2030 respectively and afterwards to the quantities of annual LNG

demand in cubic meters for these two periods. Nevertheless, it is almost impossible

to know the exact number of recharging ships that will refuel at the port, as they

depend on various factors such as market development, fuel prices, competition

with neighbouring ports and other supply shipping service networks.

The results of this method are intended to lead to a preliminary proposal for the equipment

needed in the port. The following table shows the estimated LNG fuel demand for each ship

type and its subclass apart in the Larnaca port for the periods 2020-2025 and 2025-2030.

24

The findings of the above table present that the overall bunkering operations by all types of

vessels and each subclass of them at the Larnaca Port will create an occurring LNG fuel

demand of 5,581.10 m3 during 2020-2025, while for the years during 2025-2030 the overall

estimated LNG fuel demand for each ship type and its subclasses will be 13.952,76 m3.

Refueling procedures that will take place on the port of Larnaca will reach 49 during 2020-

2025 and 123 during 2025-2030. The above estimations indicate a significant build-up of

the annual LNG fuel demand.

It should be noted that the small and large tanker vessels, will be the two Classes that will

show the largest LNG demand during 2020-2025 reaching 2,482.83 m3 and 2,313.01 m3

respectively. In addition, for the years 2025-2030 the demand for the small tanker vessels

is estimated to be 6,207.08 m3, while for the large tanker vessels will be 5,782.52 m3. These

estimations resulted from the assumption that the share of total calls made from tanker

vessels of both subclasses with LNG bunker operations is 30% as well as from their

expected average LNG supply amount.

On the other hand, the smallest annual LNG demand for the years 2020 – 2025 will come

from large bulk carrier vessels and small vehicle carrier vessels with 34.5 m3 and 76.70 m3

respectively, while the LNG demand for the years 2025-2030 will reach 85.38 m3 and 100

m3, respectively.

Generally, the tanker vessels are expected to largely determine the demand for LNG fuel

in Larnaca port as they are expected to consume more than 80% of the total annual

demand. This is reasonable due to the fact that the tanker vessels had more calls compared

to any other vessel Classes that visited the port of Larnaca.

3. Port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko: LNG as a

marine fuel demand estimation

The main objective of this chapter is to estimate the demand for LNG as marine fuel deriving

from vessels during the under-study years (2020-2025 and 2025-2030) at the Core TEN-T

Port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko. First of all, a general description of the shipping

activity in the port is provided in order to assess the demand for LNG and therefore, to

proceed with the supply chain analysis. It should be noted that the cases on which this

analysis was based, were designed aiming to provide reliable results.

3.1 Port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko: Marine Traffic

Analysis

The port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko is situated in the southern part of Cyprus

between Lemesos and Larnaca and it is especially the industrial terminal for handling

unpacked as well as troublesome cargo. The terminal belongs to the Ports Authority, which

leased it to Vassiliko Cement Works. The lease agreement concerns all kinds of cargo, not

only imports but also exports, for the needs of the Cement Works as well as private cargo

of other companies, who were granted a license by the Ports Authority.

In particular, the kind of cargoes, which move through Vassiliko terminal are animal fodder,

wheat, coal, perlite, cement, soil, gravel and scrap iron. However, the primary export cargo

is cement.

The statistical analysis provided by Cyprus Ports Authority revealed that the port of

Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko during the years 2010 – 2016 had 183 calls from 41 tanker

vessels, which was the predominant vessels’ type that was reported to have called in this

port. Namely, the number of tanker vessels that arrived at Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko

Port approached the percentage of 100% of the total ships’ types visiting this specific port.

3.2 LNG fuel Demand Estimation Methodology

To appropriately estimate the LNG demand in the port of Lemesos Terminal 2- Vassiliko,

two basic elements are needed, the number of refueling that will take place and the fuel

quantities to be supplied. For determining the LNG demand, we delineated the profile of the

maritime industry in this port, by creating a database, which includes all the ships that visited

the port of Larnaca during the interval 2010 – 2016, based on the provided by Cyprus Ports

Authority. Then, we proceeded to a detailed description for each ship collecting data from

Page 29: REPORT ON PORT OF LARNACA AND PORT OF ......The Port of Larnaca is the second, largest, port in Cyprus and it is located in its southeast part. Larnaca port is situated approximately

Report on Port of Larnaca and Port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko LNG Demand and Supply Chain Analysis

26

Clarksons SIN (Shipping Intelligence Network). The categories of data gathered are

presented below:

o Ship Type

o Dimensions hull

o Capacity (e.g. DWT)

o Age

o Total installed power

o Average service speed

o Number of arrivals in the port

Based on these general technical and operational characteristics, a series of groupings was

conducted in order to categorize the total arrivals on the basis of specific characteristics for

each vessel.

In particular, the initial grouping was based on the type of ship, namely tanker vessels. This

grouping helped us to draw inferences as to the routes served by vessels and thus the

geographical areas in which they operate.

Having categorized all vessels according to their type, a further grouping was conducted

allowing a comprehensive description for each category in the port. More specifically, for

tanker vessels, a second grouping was performed according to their age and deadweight

capacity (DWT).

The calculation of the number of LNG refueling procedures, that will take place, was

estimated in this study, mainly based on the parameters of deadweight capacity (DWT) and

age of each ship. The two abovementioned features are directly related to the decision-

making process for the shipowners to adopt LNG as an alternative marine fuel. In addition,

these initiatives will significantly contribute to the institutionalization of LNG in the wider

Orient/East-Med Corridor, that will be achieved at a more intense rate.

On one hand, the criterion of capacity for each ship, determines the time she spent in

Emission Control Areas (ECAs, SECAs). For example, general cargo ships with DWT

capacity up to 2,000 tons are active in the transit of goods from hub ports to neighbouring

spoke ports, which leads them to spend a long period of time in these sea areas, unlike

ships with a capacity over 7,000 tons that are dedicated mostly to transoceanic voyages

(commercial routes Asia-Europe) that stay in control areas relatively little time.

On the other hand, the age of the ship contributes significantly to this report, due to the fact

that it is connected directly to the payback period of the investment required. The usual

Report on Port of Larnaca and Port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko LNG Demand and Supply Chain Analysis

27

economic life time of the vessels is 25 years. For this reason, we assumed that tanker

vessels up to 15 years will tend to shift to LNG fuel for propulsion. Therefore, to categorize

the number of arrivals by age we followed age groupings of 5 years until the age of 25 years

(while older vessels joined in a single category).

In order to calculate the estimated amount of supply that is needed for every Class of ship,

we used as an assumption that the distance to be travelled is approximately 500 nautical

miles until the next refuelling point. This distance is considered ideal in relation to the

location of Port of Lemesos Terminal 2 -Vassiliko from the neighbouring commercial and

tourist ports. In addition, we assumed that at least the same vessels will occupy the port in

the future.

What is more, regarding data on the typical consumption rates, we used as model certificate

dual fuel engines using 100% gas fuel. For this reason, we assumed a perfect dual fuel

engine, which produces at least the average of the total installed power of that Class of

vessel. The selection of the engines was made based on data from major manufacturers

such as MAN SE and Wärtsilä.

In conclusion, the Classification of vessels facilitated the process for the estimation of the

number of refueling ships using LNG as a marine fuel in the forthcoming years (reference

years 2020-2025 and 2025-2030) as well as the estimated refueling LNG.

3.2.1 Port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko: Tanker Sector Overview

During 2010-2016, 41 Tanker vessels were reported to have called in Lemesos Terminal 2

– Vassiliko Port, each performing a different number of calls. The total number of calls

during 2010-2016 was 183. Tanker Ships were divided in two categories according to the

criterion of capacity in numbers of DWT.

The figure below depicts the segmentation of the sample as a function of capacity in DWT.

Figure 18: Frequency of tanker ships by capacity on DWT.

By selecting as a criterion, the DWT capacity, the sample was divided into two main

categories:

• Class A (≤ 29.999 tons), and

• Class B (≥ 30,000 tons)

As it can be observed from the figure below, the number of Class B vessels is significantly

higher than the population of Class A, namely 33 versus 8. However, the vessels of the first

Class had more calls than those of the latter, i.e. 125 and 58 calls respectively. The figure

below shows the percentage of tanker vessels belonging to each Class.

It can be observed from the above figure that from the majority of the calls, 91,2% was

made by vessels between 5 to 10 years old. Vessels aged over 25 years old represent 8,8%

of the calls at the Port of Lemesos Terminal 2 - Vassiliko.

What is more the age group for vessels, which are considered ideal to use LNG fuel is up

to 15 years. It is worth mentioning that all of these tankers made a total of 114 arrivals during

2010-2016 corresponding to 91,2% of the total arrivals at the Lemesos Terminal 2 –

Vassiliko Port.

Estimated LNG supply volume

Regarding the estimated LNG supply volume, the engines used were 4-stroke. Tankers

from Class A that visited Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko Port had an average engine power

of 1,817 Kw and their average service speed was at 9.29 knots.

The typical 4-stroke dual fuel engine which we selected comes from Wärtsilä, in order to

assess the special consumption of fuel gas. This is the model 6L34DF. This particular

engine delivers 2,700 Kw at 750 rpm with specific consumption 7,770 kJ/kWh ≈ 142.6

gr/kWh.

In addition, the typical distance that we assumed a vessel needs to move from one port to

another and carry out refuelling procedures was approximately 500 nautical miles. The

required time for a typical vessel of this Class to cover this distance is slightly more than

53,8 hours.

Therefore, the required fuel supply amount is 13.9 tons ≈ 31.0 m3 LNG.

3.2.1.2. Tanker ≥ 30,000 tons

The distribution of tanker ships arrivals above 30,000 tons in the Lemesos Terminal 2 –

Vassiliko Port, namely Class B, as a function of age, is illustrated in the below figure. The

average age was close to 13.91 years.

Figure 21: Percentage of arrivals by age group.

It can be easily observed from the above figure that the majority of the calls, 50% was made

by vessels between 10 to 15 years old, while vessels between 5 to 10 years old represent

the second highest percentage, 29%. In addition, vessels aged between 20 to 25 years old

made a relatively small number of calls, no more than 5%. Finally, vessels between 15 to

20 years old represent about 16% of the calls.

Moreover, the ideal age for the tankers of Class B to use LNG fuel is up to 15 years. It is

notable that all of these tankers made a total of 46 arrivals during 2010-2016 corresponding

to 79,3% of the total arrivals at the Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko Port.

Estimated LNG supply volume

Regarding the estimated LNG supply volume, the engines used were mostly 4-stroke.

Tanker vessels from Class B that visited Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko Port had an

average engine power of 14,209 Kw and their average service speed was at 11.05 knots.

A typical 4-stroke dual fuel engine 8S50ME-C8.2-GI-TII came from MAN SE, which delivers

13,270 Kw at 127 rpm with specific consumption 7,403.4 kJ/kWh ≈ 137.1 gr/kWh.

Moreover, the typical distance that we assumed a vessel needs to travel from a

neighbouring port until the next refueling in the port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko was

approximately 500 nautical miles. The required time for a typical vessel of this Class to

cover this distance is slightly more than 45.2 hours.

Therefore, the required fuel supply amount is 88.1 tons ≈ 195.7 m3 LNG.

3.3 Port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko: Estimated LNG volume

for refuelling

As it has been already mentioned the calls that were reported in Lemesos Terminal 2 –

Vassiliko Port reached the total number of 183. This total referred to vessels of the same

type. Based on these statistics provided by Cyprus Ports Authority (CPA), we assume that

at least the same category of vessels will occupy the port in the future.

Generally, the potential LNG fuel demand is calculated by the combination of the previous

assumptions with the technical and operational characteristics of the typical vessels for

each category. The occurring LNG fuel demand for each category, as well as the prediction

for the total future LNG demand for the years 2020-2025 and 2025-2030 will be presented

on the following table.

In particular, the expected LNG volume for refueling in the Port of Lemesos Terminal 2 –

Vassiliko was calculated based on the following assumptions:

• The expected arrivals at the port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko for the under-

study periods 2020-2025 and 2025-2030, were approximated for the tanker vessel

type and its subclasses according to the criterion of capacity in numbers of DWT

capacity. This number of expected arrivals is based on data provided by Cyprus

Ports Authority for the years 2010-2016.

32

• The average fuel delivery volume is based on assumptions, which we set for the

type of tanker ships and for each Class of them separately and have been analyzed

in the above sections.

• The percentage of ships that will tend to use LNG as an alternative marine fuel in

order to comply with the environmental regulations set by European Union and IMO,

has been selected for each Class separately and is based on assumptions that we

used about the capacity and age of the tanker ships.

• The number of ships going out procedures refueling in the port of Lemesos Terminal

2 – Vassiliko. We assumed that the share of ships carrying out refueling procedures

is approximately 50% of the total calls with ship age up to 15 years for tanker ships

and its subclasses. Based on the aforementioned parameters, we ended up to the

expected number of the LNG bunker operations for the periods 2020-2025 and

2025-2030 respectively and afterwards to the quantities of annual LNG demand in

cubic meters for these two periods. Nevertheless, it is almost impossible to know

the exact number of recharging ships that will refuel at the port, as this depends on

various factors such as market development, fuel prices, competition with

neighboring ports and other supply shipping service networks.

The results of this method are intended to lead to a preliminary proposal for the equipment

needed in the port. The following table shows the estimated LNG fuel demand for the tanker

ships and its subclasses apart from the Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko Port for the periods

2020-2025 and 2025-2030.

33

Table 3:Estimations for LNG demand as marine fuel in the port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko

The findings of the above Table present that the overall bunkering operations by tanker

vessels at the Port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko will create an occurring LNG fuel

demand of 2,732.03 m3 during 2020-2025, while for the years 2025-2030 the overall

estimated LNG fuel demand will be 7,022.36 m3. Refueling procedures that will take place

on the port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko will reach 33 during 2020-2025 and 80 during

2025-2030. The above estimations indicate a significant build-up of the LNG fuel demand.

More specifically, bunkering operations by small and large tanker vessels will create an

occurring LNG fuel demand of 706.80 m3 and 2,025.23 m3 respectively during the years

2020-2025, while the both small and large tanker vessels will create an annual demand of

5,198.40 m3 and 1,823.66 m3 of LNG fuel correspondingly during 2025-2030. These

estimations resulted from the assumption that the share of total calls of tanker vessels of

both subclasses with LNG bunker operations was approximately 50% and their expected

average LNG supply amount. This percentage is assumed by the number of total arrivals

of tanker vessels at Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko Port in combination with the parameter

of ship age up to 15 years.

4. Supply Chain Analysis for Larnaca Port and the Port of

Lemesos Terminal – 2 Vassiliko

This part is dedicated to proceed with recommendations for logistics solutions and synchro-

modal transportation means required in order to meet the estimated LNG fuel demand, for

the under-study years 2020-2030 for both ports. In particular, this part of the report aims at

dealing with an optimum solution concerning the important matter of transportation means’

selection and the number needed to cover the forecasted demand for both under study

ports.

The basic criteria for selecting the appropriate equipment is the estimated volume required

to provide LNG, the quantities that can be provided in each refueling process as well as the

number of daily refueling procedures. It should be noted that the estimations for the daily

number of refueling was based on the overall number of arrivals for the third quarter of the

year, assuming a +30% spike, as it is the worst-case scenario that should be taken into

account in the design process in order to meet all the supply needs.

Having factored in the above criteria and having technical and operational characteristics

reports of each refueling equipment instrument, we have concluded that four LNG tanker

trucks of a capacity of 50 m3 each, should be utilized in order to undertake the LNG

bunkering process in both ports for the years 2020-2025. Since the LNG demand is

expected to grow during the years 2025-2030, three more LNG tanker trucks of a capacity

50 m3 each are also required, in order to handle the bunker volumes of the largest vessels.

The scenario that was taken into consideration is that the LNG tanker trucks will be based

in Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko port. They will be loaded with the required fuel quantity

in order to supply the vessels calling not only at Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko port but

also at Larnaca port. The LNG tanker trucks will return back to the port where they will

remain at a stand-by mode for the next trip.

The typical time required by the specially designed LNG Tanker Trucks, to cover this

distance from one port to another in order to distribute the LNG fuel, is about fifty minutes

with an average speed of 70 km/h. As for the technical and operational characteristics of

the LNG Tanker Trucks, their loading capacity/transfer rate is approximately 60 m3 per hour

and the required time is 0,83 minutes to load their tank. In particular, the total LNG bunkering

timeline for LNG tanker trucks lasts 215 minutes. More specifically, the trucks need 50

minutes to transit to the vessel, 10 minutes before the process of bunkering, 50 minutes

during the bunkering procedure, 5 minutes after the end of bunkering, 50 minutes for the

Page 38: REPORT ON PORT OF LARNACA AND PORT OF ......The Port of Larnaca is the second, largest, port in Cyprus and it is located in its southeast part. Larnaca port is situated approximately

35

LNG tanker trucks in order to return to the refueling point and 50 minutes for their

replenishment. Ultimately, the maximum number of replenishments per day is appx. 13.95

and the average LNG bunker delivery size is about 697.7 m3 per day.

4.1 Cost of Supply Chain

The aim of this part is to provide a preliminary analysis of the proposed investment. The

following general assumptions used in our calculations:

• Economic lifetime of the proposed investment: 30 years

• Economic lifetime of the LNG tanker trucks: 10 years

• Weighted Average Cost of Capital: 8%

• The analysis does not include taxes.

The initial investment cost for the four LNG Tanker trucks is estimated to be 1,300,000 €. It

should be noted that the cost estimate is made on constant prices of 2018. As we have

already mentioned above, these trucks will be introduced in the port facilities of Lemesos

Terminal 2 – Vassiliko as a starting point in order to cover the estimated annual LNG fuel

demand for this period for both ports of Larnaca and Lemesos Terminal 2 - Vassiliko.

However, three more trucks will be added in the years 2025-2030 for the needs of these

two ports and the cost of the additional investment will be 975,000 €. The total investment

cost of the LNG tanker trucks for the period 2020-2030 will be 2.275.000 € in accordance

with the estimated build-up of the annual LNG fuel demand as time goes by. Regarding the

operational costs for the LNG tanker trucks for the period 2020-2025, these will be

2,215,620 € and with the estimated build-up of the LNG fuel demand in the ports of Larnaca

and Lemesos Terminal 2 - Vassiliko will reach the amount of 3,535,623 € in 2025-2030.

To be able to proceed with a preliminary economic evaluation of the proposed investment,

the cash inflows and outflows should be determined. The criterion of the payback period

will be used in order to evaluate the proposed investment. The desired payback periods for

which calculations were based 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 years.

The figure below depicts the evolution of the additional price pet tone of LNG for the

examined number of depreciation years. It can be observed that in order to amortize the

initial investment in the first 10 years, the LNG sale price to the end users should be 498.5

€ per ton. Meanwhile, the final delivery price of LNG fuel, HFO and MGO at the ports of

Larnaca and Lemesos Terminal 2 -Vassiliko will be 498 € / ton, 341 € / ton, and 563 € / ton

respectively (approximate values due to lack of data).

5. Conclusion and General Findings

This chapter presents the overall conclusions of the analysis from the previous chapters.

Taking as focal point the FSRU (Floating Storage and Regasification Unit) in Vassiliko bay,

the process of LNG fuel bunkering at the ports of Larnaca and Lemesos Terminal 2 –

Vassiliko will soon be possible. Therefore, the LNG tanker trucks that will be integrated in

the LNG fuel supply chain, could facilitate the distribution of the fuel to Cyprus and its ports

in the near future. Having in mind the above, we attempted to estimate the demand for LNG

as a fuel in the maritime industry by using a specific methodology based on the current

profile of shipping.

According to the results of the study, the demand of LNG fuel as marine fuel for the years

2020-2030 for both ports of Larnaca and Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko, is estimated to

be 34,771 m3, as total LNG fuel demand. Specifically, at the port of Larnaca 19,442.11 m3

of LNG fuel will be needed for bunkering operations in the period 2020-2030, while at the

port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko 15,328.90 m3 of LNG fuel will be needed in the

under-study years 2020-2030.

Generally, at the port of Larnaca for the period 2020-2025, the number of LNG bunker

operations is estimated to be 49 for all types of vessels and for the period 2025-2030 it will

be 123. At the port of Lemesos Terminal 2 Vassiliko in the period 2020-2025, the number

of LNG bunker operations is estimated to be 33 for the tanker ships that consist the whole

fleet that arrives constantly at the particular port and for the period 2025-2030 it will reach

80 LNG bunkering operations.

The report demonstrates that the quantities of the daily LNG fuel demand at the port of

Larnaca for the period 2020-2025 are estimated to reach the amount of 15,29 m3 of LNG

fuel for all vessel types, while in the interval 2025-2030 it will reach 37,98 m3 of LNG per

day. These values of daily quantities of LNG fuel reveal the blastoff of the demand at

Larnaca port, as time goes by. Regarding the quantities of the daily LNG fuel demand for

the tankers and their subclasses at the port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko for the period

2020-2025; these are estimated to reach the amount of 7,49 m3 of LNG fuel, while in the

interval 2025-2030 they will reach 17,17 m3 of LNG per day. We can also observe that the

daily LNG fuel demand in the period 2025-2030 is more than double in comparison to the

demand in 2020-2025 at the Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko port, i.e. 17,17 and 7,49

respectively.

Report on Port of Larnaca and Port of Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko LNG Demand and Supply Chain Analysis

39

It should be noted that the LNG fuel demand was estimated under the condition that all

vessels’ types and their subclasses are up to 15 years, because they are more possible to

shift to LNG fuel use, replacing petroleum HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil) and MGO (Marine Gas Oil)

as main marine fuels. For vessels that also call at the same ports but their age is above 15

years, LNG is not an option as they are much older and will tend to use HFO and MGO as

main fuel for technical-financial reasons, according to the assumption of this report.

The relatively short distance between the ports of Larnaca and Lemesos Terminal 2 –

Vassiliko and the future existence of the Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) at the

Vassiliko port area, dictate the need for four LNG Tanker trucks with fuel tank capacity of

50 m3 each, to meet the needs of both ports for the interval between 2020-2025. The

equipment needed is the logical choice for all ships’ types refueling procedures, as it will be

available for 19,2 hours per day corresponding to a percentage of 80% (vehicles’

availability) and will have a loading capacity of 60 m3 per hour in order to wholly cover the

estimated LNG fuel demand of 9,118.54 m3 for the two ports during the first 5 years of the

under-study period 2020-2030.

After 2025, the demand of LNG fuel supply in both ports of Larnaca and Lemesos Terminal

2 – Vassiliko is expected to increase rapidly due to a shift of more ships’ types to use LNG

fuel and the future existence of the appropriate port infrastructure and equipment in Cyprus.

The estimated annual LNG fuel demand is estimated to reach 25,652.47 m3 for both ports

in the period 2025-2030. This is a significant increase of annual LNG fuel demand and is

more than triple in comparison to the LNG demand in the period 2020-2025 in both ports.

Therefore, due to this rapid increase of the annual LNG fuel demand, the next step is to

integrate three more LNG Tanker Trucks with fuel tank capacity of 50 m3 in this LNG supply

chain, in order to service the occurring energy needs for the marine industry in these specific

areas in the interval between 2025-2030.

More specifically, the biggest annual demand at Larnaca Port in providing maritime LNG

fuel will come from small and large tanker ships with 4,795.84 m3 in 2020-2025, followed by

vehicle carriers and general cargo ships, providing LNG 376,71 m3 and 288,66 m3

respectively. Finally, the lowest demand comes from small and large bulk carriers, as they

will not exceed 199,99 m3 of LNG fuel.

As for the interval between 2025-2030, the biggest annual demand at Larnaca Port in

providing maritime LNG fuel will come from small and large tanker ships with 11.989,60 m3,

followed by small and large vehicle carriers and general cargo ships 941,52 m3 and 721,64

Page 43: REPORT ON PORT OF LARNACA AND PORT OF ......The Port of Larnaca is the second, largest, port in Cyprus and it is located in its southeast part. Larnaca port is situated approximately

40

m3 respectively. Finally, the lowest demand comes from small and large bulk carriers, as

their demand will not exceed 199,99 m3 of LNG fuel.

Based on these estimated quantities of the annual LNG demand and the short distance

between Larnaca and Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko ports, the equipment required to

carry out the refueling in the interval 2025-2030 are seven specially designed LNG tanker

trucks with capacity of 50 m3. Namely, as the estimated annual LNG fuel demand arises,

three more LNG tanker trucks will be integrated in this supply chain in order to provide larger

quantities of LNG fuel in both ports in the interval between 2025-2030.

Regarding the ports of Larnaca and Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko, using payback period

criterion for a desired period of 10 years, we observe that a final selling price per ton LNG

dictates a 498.5 € surcharge. Based on this surcharge, the net present value (NPV) for the

entire economic life of the LNG tanker trucks is approximately 2,4 million € and the internal

rate of return on capital reaches 11%. Therefore, the final fuel delivery prices for both ports

of Larnaca and Lemesos Terminal 2 - Vassiliko will reach 799,29 € / ton LNG, 341 € / ton

HFO and 563 € / ton MGO. However, if we consider the time value of money and we

discount all cashflows in the same desired payback period (10 years), the final selling price

per ton LNG dictates a 551.3 € surcharge. Based on this, NPV will be approximately 6,1

million € and the internal rate of return on capital will reach 16 %. Therefore, the final fuel

delivery prices of ports of Larnaca and Lemesos Terminal 2 – Vassiliko will be 852,09 € /

ton LNG, 341 € / ton HFO and 563 € / ton MGO.

At this point, it should be mentioned that due to lack of data concerning the wholesale prices

of LNG fuel in Cyprus, the abovementioned price reflects the LNG fuel prices at the port of

Piraeus. Consequently, we believe that the price of LNG fuel per ton will be similar to the

fuel price of Greece with a potential small discount. As for the final delivery prices of HFO

and MGO, these result from Lemesos Port’s bunker prices in June of 2018. In conclusion,

it is worth mentioning that a low surcharge for the final selling price of LNG marine fuel is

necessary in order to minimize barriers for its adoption.
