Background & Objective
• EnSys/Navigistics 2007/8 studies for EPA, AOPI/IPIECA and IMO
provided important inputs to MARPOL Annex VI.
• 2015 analyses provided a first pass review of 2020 outlook
• EnSys/Navigistics’ 2016 objective is to provide Supplemental input
to the IMO’s MEPC process and to stakeholders at large.
Sponsorship arranged to support our study.
Intent is to share premises with CE Delft team.
• The team’s core approach is for Navigistics to develop alternative
marine fuel demand outlooks (incrementally from the IMO’s 3rd GHG
Study) and for EnSys to apply WORLD modeling to examine a
range of 2020 global supply / demand scenarios.

Most Critical Issue: Switch Volume to Meet the
0.5% Sulphur Requirement • How much Residual Based Marine Fuel will need to SWITCH to Distillate Fuel in 2020?
• Two critical factors to consider:
What will be the total Marine fuel demand in 2020?
How will that demand be met?
• The IMO’s 3rd GHG Study developed a widely accepted baseline for total marine fuel demand in 2012, however;
The projections to 2020 and beyond were done when crude oil was $100/BBL.
Crude oil is now under $35/BBL – implications for economic activity, EGCS economics, and vessel speeds.
• Two primary approaches to meeting marine fuel demand:
Refining – produce fuel with 0.5% max sulphur.
Install Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (Scrubbers).
The answer is almost certainly a combination of the two
3
Projections of Switch Volumes Vary • The ability of the global refining industry to meet marine fuel
demand is highly dependent on the SWITCH volume.
• Recent studies have a wide divergence of opinion

• The IEA described the impact of the 2.0 mb/d SWITCH on the global refining industry as follows (2016 MTOMR).
Global refiners will be put under enormous strain by the shifting product slate. If refiners ran at similar utilization rates to today, they would be unlikely to produce the required gasoil volumes, margins would be adversely affected by the law of diminishing returns. In order to increase gasoil output, less valuable products at the top and bottom of the barrel would be produced in tandem which would likely see cracks for these products weaken and weigh margins down.
(IEA’s MTOMR released 22 February 2016 page 39)
2015 Analyses by EnSys/Navigistics for
ICS/BIMCO and a Confidential Client
Highlighted Potential Broad Impacts of Rule
2015 WORLD modeling showed: • Global refining in 2020 should be able to handle
low SWITCH volumes but potential major strains at medium to high SWITCH levels.
• Refining is a co-product industry so strains go beyond marine fuels. Potential for strained high prices (versus crude) for diesel, jet/kerosene, also gasoline, worldwide.
• Hence ‘backlash’ potential – political (pressure to “relax” the IMO 2020 decision or widespread non-compliance?)
5
The Regulatory “Catch 22” of the Uncertainty
Regarding 2020 or 2025 • In a 2012 study for the European Commission “Analysis of market
barriers to cost effective GHG emission reductions in the maritime sector” by Maddox Consulting (Navigistics was the “technical” lead) stated (page 55):
Uncertainty over regulatory requirements –for example, will the maritime industry be forced to use distillate fuels in 2020 in order to meet the mandated SOx emission levels? This would nearly double the cost of fuel per tonne in comparison to heavy fuel oil (HFO). Alternatively, will the IMO study on low sulphur marine distillate fuels availability delay the switch until 2025? Reluctance to move towards the use of distillate fuels will remain until the uncertainty over this issue is resolved.
• It is clear that the “uncertainty” over 2020 or 2025 is leading to “inaction” on compliance decisions (e.g., whether to install an EGCS).
• If the IMO chooses 2020 – potential for broad ranging fuel supply problems beyond marine • Could this lead to “relaxing” the Global Sulphur rule by other regulatory bodies.
• If the IMO chooses 2025 – potentially just “kicking the can down the road” of compliance decision-making.

Primary Drivers
From the Marine Fuel Demand Perspective: • Accept the 2012 Baseline in the 3rd GHG Study and
trade growth rates.
• Vessel speeds – the IMO’s 3rd GHG was done in early 2014 when crude oil was $100/BBL and vessels were operating at slower speeds. Today crude oil is under $35/BBL. Optimal vessel speed is a tradeoff between fuel cost and charter hire.
• Scrubber penetration – The IMO’s 3rd GHG implicitly had ~60% of marine fuel consumed on ships equipped with scrubbers?
7
Marine Fuels Demand Outlooks • Navigistics Outlooks – Vessel speed issue
• International seaborne trade has grown significantly since the recession while
related marine fuel consumption has stayed flat
• high fuel prices and excess shipping capacity have led to slow steaming
• 2015 Navigistics assessed the impacts on demand of partial and full return by
containerships to design speed operation. 2016 goal is to update assessment
• the drivers - recent unsustainably low freight rates and today’s lower crude / fuel prices
8
• Navigistics Moderate scenario:
• partial speed up to ~20 knots
(vs. design service speed of
~24 knots)
• Navigistics High scenario:
• return to full design speed of
~24 knots
• Note the Navigistics scenarios do not
assume all vessel classes at design
speed and therefore contain an element
of conservatism
The Need to Update the Prior EGCS Analysis
• Navigistics Outlooks – Scrubber penetration forecast
• Navigistics used IHS data to 2015 plus “S curve” analysis to assess potential
scrubber penetration through 2025 • Linear regression on actual scrubber penetration used to establish shape of “S curve”
• Method predicted a market penetration of ~18 percent in 2020 although sensitive to exact
pace of adoption (c.f. 58% 2020 by IMO)
• 60% “saturation” penetration assumed by 2025 (level consistent with IMO)

“S-Curve” is an Analytically Rigorous Approach
• No “Leaps of Faith” – Provides analytical insight on timing of
“compliance”
11
It’s all “math”
completely
dependent on the
input data.
An S-Curve has the format as follows:
Where:
Y = Market share in a given year
ϒ = Maximum market share, taken as 60%
consistent with low 3rd GHG HFO fuel
mix X = Year (Start 2010 is start year
after trial period)
α = Independent variable, intercept
β = Independent variable
𝑌=Υ(1+𝑒𝛼+𝛽𝑋)
Where α and β are found by linear
regression.

Thinking “Outside the Box”
• 2020 or 2025 – What if the choice became a non-binary approach?
• What if a phased approach to 2020 – 2025 was an option?
• Similar to the Ballast Water Management System regulations in
which compliance is required at first dry dock after 1/1/2016 (in U.S.)
• For Global 0.5% Sulphur rule this could be only for vessels with firm
contracts to install an EGCS (contract by 1/1/2020)
Otherwise must use 0.1% Sulphur fuel from 1/1/2020.
• This approach would reduce regulatory uncertainty.
The goal is to inform the IMO’s MEPC with the “best”
information available for making a decision.

The Survey
1. Identify scrubber installations to date and underway
(by year and ship type, ship name, and if available
horsepower). (excel spreadsheet is ideal)
2. Manufacturing capacity to produce and install
scrubbers (per year by year through 2025)
3. Provide information on scrubber economics (scrubber
cost by engine size, installation costs, time out of
service, and annual costs – energy and materials).
4. Can you provide any technical papers or info on the
economics (e.g., case studies) of scrubbers.
14
EGCSA Member Input is Essential
• Please complete the survey and return to [email protected] as soon as possible.
• All individual responses will be kept confidential.
• Only aggregate data will be used / reported.
• Output would be a new “S-Curve” and ancillary assessment of scrubber uptake and impacts.
The goal is to inform the IMO’s MEPC with the “best” information available for making a decision.

WORLD Model Overview
20
WORLD Model Overview
“Bottom up” model of global petroleum downstream which works with “top down” oil outlooks
“Supply” LP extended to encompass whole world simulates the detail of the global system’s activities
captures the interactions within the global downstream
eliminates boundary assumptions
different concept e.g. most economics output (main input price is marker crude oil)
21
WORLD Model Overview Encompasses: total “liquids”
consistent with the major statistical sources (IEA, EIA, OPEC etc.)
crudes & non-crudes supply, refining and blending, transportation/trade, demand & product quality
Does not forecast oil supply/demand/ “world oil price”
Rather it simulates how the global industry will operate given a price/supply/demand scenario
