Information about public information

Following order of the Law of the Republic of Lithuania, all Company related material events and information about time and place of the General Meeting of the shareholders are published on website of the Company www.oil.lt and in AB NASDAQ OMX Vilnius Stock Exchange.

During the first six months of 2013 the Company has published 72 official announcements about material events and other regulated information at AB NASDAQ OMX Vilnius stock exchange (www.nasdaqomxbaltic.com).

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

During the first six months of 2013 the Company transhipped 3,569 thousand tons of oil products. 63% (65% in 2012) of the total transhipment volume was transhipment of heavy oil products (HOP). The fluidity of HOP depends on the product temperature and ambient temperatures, and due to this these products are energetically more favourable during decanting. The following oil products are attributed to HOP: types of fuel oil and its substitutes, vacuum gas oil, orimulsion, oil ant etc. Light oil products (LOP) are oil products, the fluidity of which does not depend on the product temperature and ambient temperatures. The following oil products are attributed to LOP: types of gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel and etc.

During the six-month-period of 2013 Belarusian and Russian oil products flows (1,368 thousand tons) compared to the six-month-period of 2012 (1,569 thousand tons) decreased by 13%, compared to the six-month-period of 2011 (1,967 thousand tons) – transhipped less by 30%. The Company anticipated the trends of decrease in heavy oil products from Belarus and Russia due to the planned modernization of oil refineries increasing the oil processing depth and decreasing the output of HOP which are the main oil products transhipped by the Company from the eastern oil refineries.

In order to ensure the revenue during the period of changes in 2012 the Company signed a two years contract with the Swiss company Litasco S.A. (OAO Lukoil Group Company) on supply of black oil fuel under "take-or-pay" conditions ensuring the Company's revenue will be not less than in 2012, regardless of variations on the physical flows of oil products. The same type of contract was signed with the company Somitekno Ltd on transhipment of vacuum gas oil. The Company, taking into account the changes in the market, is oriented and plans to continue the conclusion of new contracts with customers under "take-or-pay" conditions, because they provide a stable income from carrying out the main operations even if the supply of oil products is irregular.

A long-term contract (by the end of 2024) concluded with AB Orlen Lietuva ensures the basic handling flows of fuel oil, gasoline and diesel fuel. During the six-month-period of 2013 loading of AB Orlen Lietuva oil products composed 61% of the total oil products transhipment of the terminal. During the reporting period AB Orlen Lietuva transhipped 25% or 431 thousand tons more of oil products compared to the same period of 2012. The transhipment could be even bigger; however, due to unfavourable fluctuations of oil refinement margins, production at the Mažeikiai FRP and transhipment was decreased starting from the beginning of second quarter.

SUBAČIUS FUEL STORAGE FACILITY

After the approval of the share emission agreement with the Republic of Lithuania on 11 June 2012, the Company started to manage the Subačius fuel storage facility in Kunčių village, Kupiškis region. The infrastructure of the Subačius fuel storage facility consists of the following: (1) the park of 338,000 m3 of storage tanks adapted to store light oil products; (2) the rail access point modernized in 2007 which can simultaneously handle 14 rail tank wagons; (3) modern rail tank loading platform; (4) renovated laboratory that can detect the main quality parameters of oil products; (5) vehicles and other service buildings and equipment.

The main operations of Subačius fuel storage facility are the following: long-term storage of oil products (currently the majority of storage tanks are filled with the obligatory reserve of oil products of Lithuania), and the loading of tank trucks which service the entities in the Aukštaitija region. In addition, the Company is carrying out social activities which create the opportunity for the local residents and legal entities having the status of social companies to receive services of sanitation, passenger transport, snow clearing and other services of heavy transport under favourable conditions.

RISK FACTORS Risk factors of the oil products terminal

Competitive environment risk factors

The main competitors of the Company are the following terminals of the Baltic Sea ports, reloading dark and light oil products exported from Russia, Belarus and Lithuania: Kroviniu Terminalas (Lithuania), Ventspils Nafta (Latvia), Ventburkers (Latvia), BLB (Latvia), Naftimpex (Latvia), Alexela (Estonia), Vopak EOS (Estonia), Vesta (Estonia), terminals of Odessa, Sevastopol and Feodosia (Ukraine), Peterburg Oil Terminal (Russia), newly built Ust-Luga terminal (Russia). The most significant factors influencing the competitiveness of the Company on the market are as follows: technical parameters of the port and terminal (depth and number of quays, maximum allowable draughts of the ships, storage capacity of the terminal, capacity of the loading equipment etc.) and logistic costs of the terminal maintaining infrastructure (road lines, railway nets, etc).

The Government of Russian Federation aims to export all oil products produced in Russian Federation refineries via Russian ports, therefore Russian Federation offers advantageous conditions for transporting freights through national ports thus stimulating national competition of the ports in regard to foreign ports.

The Company has an excellent reputation, engaged part of the market, concluded long-term agreements with cargo owners and has an ice-free port of Klaipėda, so it is hopefully that the Company will maintain flows of Russian and Belorussian cargo in winter time.

Commercial risk factors

AB ORLEN Lietuva is the main client of the Company, whose load volume through the Company composes more than 60 percent of the total annual transhipment volume of the Company. The Company has signed a long-term contract with AB ORLEN Lietuva until 2024; conclusion of this contract lets the Company hope for regular flow of loading of oil products.

Annual loading volumes of Belarusian oil refinery products comprise about 30 percents of the total loading volume of the Company's terminal. Since Belarus has no direct access to the sea, exporting oil products to the Western countries Belarus must use transit via neighbouring countries and their ports. Therefore cooperation with Belarusian companies and institutions is of high importance seeking to divert their load through Klaipėda port.

Due to the significant share of Belarusian transit of oil products in Company's activities there is a risk (including but not limited to political, economic, etc.) that the Belarusian oil refineries may decide to export oil products using ports of other countries (Latvian, Estonian or Ukrainian). The Company may not be able to find new customers within short period of time which would replace the lost transhipment volume and, therefore, may not be able to maintain the same volume of transhipment of oil products as in previous years.

Capacity utilization as well as earnings and profitability of the Company highly depend on the situation on the oil market. In case of low oil refining margins oil refineries reduce the volume of oil refining, i.e., produce less oil products which could be exported using the Company's or other competitive terminals. Therefore, due to less profitable oil refining and the relatively decreasing flows of export oil products, the competition for transhipment of these flows is becoming more intense and it affects transhipment volume of the Company and the size of applied tariffs. If the oil refining margins are high, the reverse processes are observed.

The allowed draught of 12.5 meters at jetties No. 1 and No. 2 of Klaipėda State Seaport which are operated by the Company, creates disadvantage among other Baltic countries seaports. At the terminals of Ventspils and Tallinn the allowed depth exceeds 14 meters which enables a full load of Aframax type tankers (up to 100,000 tons). Klaipėdos Nafta, because of the restrictions of allowed draught of up to 12.5 meters can load such type of tankers only up to 80-85 thousand tons. Therefore, Klaipėdos Nafta loses its competitive edge against the neighbouring ports as this translates into higher marine logistics costs for oil products shipped by Aframax type tankers.

Political risk factors

Risk factors related to Russian Federation and Belarus politics

Governments of Russian Federation and Belarus strictly regulated oil and its products export from the country by establishing strict export quotas and tariffs of oil products transported by railway, giving preference to one or another port. There is a possibility that both in Russian Federation and in Belarus decisions regarding the quotas issue and exportation via specific state ports as well as application of railway tariffs preferences may be made based on not only economic but also political motives.

Consequently, there is a risk that political decisions adopted by Russia and Belarus, relating to the granting of quotas of oil product export to particular foreign ports or reducing such quotas to Klaipeda port, despite the strategically advantageous geographic position of the Company, would lead to the decrease in the transhipment volume of the Company.

Also an additional risk exists that EU may apply economic sanctions to Belarus because of political reasons related to regime of president of Belarus A. Lukasenka. Such economic sanctions may determine restriction or suspend import of appropriate goods or products which were made in Belarus to EU countries, also trade relations between EU and Belarus may be absolutely terminated. It was considered that Belarus may apply responsive economic measures and to restrict export of oil products which were made inside Belarus through EU terminals even if EU economic sanctions for Belarus would not be applied for export and import sector of oil products. For this reason there is a risk that any economic sanctions that EU applies to Belarus would reduce scope of oil products made in Belarus and loaded by the Company.

Risk factors related to Latvian politics

The distance from the Company's terminal to the main oil refineries, which are the producers of oil products, is shorter than the distance from these refineries to the Latvian and Estonian oil terminals. Therefore, it is economically more favourable to tranship oil products from these oil refineries through the Company's terminal and Klaipėda Port than at the neighbouring terminals located at the Baltic Sea ports. However, if the Government of the Republic of Latvia or the Latvian Railways decide significantly reduce their transit tariffs, a risk may arise that it will be economically more favourable for certain customers to tranship their oil products at the terminals of Latvian ports (or even to transport oil products by railway to the terminals of Estonian ports). Nonetheless, the advantageous geographic position of the Company helps to reduce such risk.

Technological factors

Technological characteristics of the terminal are of major importance for quick and effective satisfaction of potential customers' needs and at the same time for generation of additional income.

Actual investment plans to expand the park of berth storage by 10 percent, making opportunities to tranship light oil products and heavy oil products via these storage tanks, would allow in future to tranship vessels of larger tonnage and broaden the assortment of transhipped products. Equipped terminal complex located on the area of 35.7 ha is capable to handle up to 9,000 thousand tons of exported and imported oil products per year. Total volume of oil and oil products storage tanks in Klaipėda – 405 thousand m3. Every freight batch from different refinery is stored separately in storage tanks, i.e. is not intermixed. It allows saving quantity and quality of transported products. Quality parameters are controlled by the terminal laboratory.

Tankers of capacity up to 100 thousand tons with allowed draught of 12.5 m are handled at two jetties which are located at the port entrance channel which was dredged to 14 meters depth. The Terminal operates a facility for road tanker loading where four road tankers can be loaded at the same time. A unique biological waste water treatment technology guarantees that the treated clear water, discharged into open water basins, complies with the European Union regulations. Total capacity of waste water treatment plant is 160 m3 per hour. Up to 400 thousand m3 of water is collected and treated annually.

The Company's oil terminal equipment was manufactured by the following Western and USA companies: "KANON", "BORNEMANN", "INGERSOLL DRESSER", "ROTORK", "ENRAF", "ROSSMARK", "AEG" and etc. Also installed are AJAX-HEKATRON automatic fire detection and extinguishing system, HONEYWELL shutdown system and BAILEY computerized control system of the transhipment process.

ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

The Company performing its activities must follow the legal acts on environment protection that provide the usage, marking and storage of various materials, ensure that all equipment used would comply with their usage requirements. In the objects operated by the Company, where is the higher risk of damage to the environment by emitted pollutants or amount of accumulated waste, the Company works according to the licenses of integrated prevention and control of pollution (PIPC) issued by the regional departments of environment protection and according to the most accessible methods of production. The Company is obliged, in compliance with all these rules, to implement such procedures and technologies that would enable to handle appropriately any hazardous materials. The Company is responsible for the management and elimination of any environmental pollution and for the maintenance of adequate equipment condition.

In order to reduce the environmental risks, the Company implemented the systems of automatic fire detection and extinguishing, computer-assisted loading process control, and technologies for air, soil and water protection from pollution in accordance with the EU standards. The management of systems for extreme situations, fire protection and territory protection comply with the requirements of the Republic of Lithuania institutions of fire protection, labour security, civil safety, environment protection, port control. The inspectors of British Petroleum and SHELL which carried out the danger and risk analysis and evaluation of the Company gave positive conclusions on the safety of the Company's terminal.

For further reduce of the environment pollution by hydrocarbon vapours, the Company has finished the LOP project and the construction of oil vapour recuperation.

During 2013, the Company did not experience any accidents or malfunctions which could affect environment. The Company performs constant environmental monitoring of:

  • underground water (it has been measured that underground pollution with oil products, which accumulated over the period of activities of the old terminal, is reducing);
  • discharged treated waste water into the Curonian Lagoon (biological treatment facilities of the Company guarantee less pollution of open water basins than allowed in the Integrated Permit of Pollution Prevention and Control);
  • impact on ambient air (limits of volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides defined by the EU and national limit values were not exceeded outside the boundaries of the sanitary zone of the Company);
  • stationary sources of air pollution (the amount of pollutants allowed in the Integrated Permit of Pollution Prevention and Control was not exceeded).

During the six-month-period of 2013 the expenses for environment protection amounted to LTL 1,526 thousand (during the six-month-period of 2012 – LTL 1,407 thousand). Additionally during the six-month-period of 2013 LTL 28 thousand (during the six-month-period of 2012 – LTL 61 thousand) were allocated for different environmental studies (investigation of pollutants and etc.) and LTL 8 thousand of pollution tax was paid (during the six-month-period of 2013 – LTL 11 thousand).

RESULTS OF THE ACTIVITY

Revenues

ACTIVITY PLANS AND FORECASTS

The Company's operational objectives for 2013 are associated with the Company's strategy for 2012-2016 that remains unchanged from the beginning of the year. The strategy key plans are:

  • to maintain high level of oil products transhipment and profitability;
  • to increase competitiveness of the oil products terminal by reacting to increasing flows of light oil products and accordingly investing in construction of new storage tanks and reconstruction of the old ones;
  • to increase full compliance with environmental requirements set for the oil terminal;
  • to increase flexibility of the Company by investing in the new pipeline systems;
  • to implement successfully the project of LNGT by the end of 2014.

During the six-month-period of 2013 the Company transhipped 51% of the planned annual transhipment of 2013.

For the remaining period of the year 2013 (2nd half) the Company plans to continue the oil products transhipment and related activities at the same level as in previous periods and also to continue LNGT project works in accordance to the schedule. For the investments both into oil and LNG terminals the Company pays special attention and efforts.

Financing of the constructions related with the LNG terminal:

Investments into the oil terminal

Investments into the oil terminal aim to increase the oil terminal's flexibility for accepting more types of different oil products in order to maintain a high level of profitability from the Company's main activity – transhipment of oil products.

Development of the universal storage tank park

Currently, the Company accumulates different batches of oil products in the shore storage tanks with an overall volume of 405 thousand m3.

In 2013 the Company continues the construction of the two universal storage tanks (2 x 32.25 thousand m3) which replace old storage tanks (4 x 5 thousand m3) which no longer comply with environmental and safety requirements due to their depreciation. Upon realization of this investment, the storage tank park will increase by 45 thousand tons; VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions from the newly installed storage tanks will be 10 times lower. The investment will increase the Company's flexibility in transhipment of oil products and will enable to tranship additional LOP flows as well as will increase the terminal's attractiveness – customers will be able to accumulate larger batches of oil products (up to 90 thousand tons). The value of the investment amounts to LTL 29,000 thousand. The Company is planning to finish the construction by the end of 2013. Construction works of the storage tanks in 2013 are performed according to the schedule in the Contract.

Besides construction of the new universal storage tanks, the Company is planning to carry out modernization of the existing storage tank pipeline network that will create a technical possibility to use part of HOP storages for the transhipment of LOP.

Environmental projects

In June 2013, the Company nearly completed the installation of the system for utilization of hydrocarbon vapour from the rail piers. The purpose of this investment is to modernize the facilities used for collection and utilization of vapours during transhipment of oil products from/to rail tank cars. The mentioned investment amounts to LTL 7,000 thousand. After the six months of 2013, launching and commissioning works of the facilities (coal improvement) are performed till the specified capacities are reached.

The Company is planning additionally invest up to LTL 1,000 thousand in modernization of water treatment facilities in order that the treated water that is discharged to the Baltic Sea would comply with the maximum requirements set by environment control inspections.

Other projects to support the technological processes of the Company

The other important implemented investments are: reconstruction of the fire protection system, modernization of the unloading system for the rail tank cars, modernization of boiler steam separation system, renovation of the heat exchangers and other.

Works planned for the implementation of the LNGT project in 2013-2014:

  • to complete process of territory planning for LNGT infrastructure (special plan, detailed plan and land servitudes) ( 3rd quarter of 2013);
  • to transfer the activity development works of LNG supply (including preparation for purchase and sale of LNG) to the subsidiary company UAB LITGAS (3rd quarter of 2013);
  • to obtain confirmation for technical and work projects of the LNGT gas pipeline and the jetty (3rd quarter of 2013);
  • to start preparatory construction works and to start construction of the LNGT jetty and gas pipeline (3rd quarter of 2013);
  • to complete construction of the LNGT infrastructure (3rd quarter of 2014);
  • to present the gas storage with gas facilities, connection to the gas pipeline and preparation for operation (4th quarter of 2014);
  • commissioning works in the Klaipėda Seaport (4th quarter of 2014);
  • to start LNGT operation in December 2014.
