TR (Regularity Rate) | S-SMART Service: 0,210 € x | Qh - Qe | |
TN (Gas Taken Off) | 0,20 % of unloaded quantities |
* T = number of cargoes unloaded over the year
* Q = quantity of LNG unloaded over the year in MWh (0°C)
* Qe = quantity of LNG unloaded during the summer (1 April to 30 September), in MWh (0°C)
* Qh = quantity of LNG unloaded during the winter (1 October to 31 March), in MWh (0°C)
* N = average time between two tanker arrivals, expressed in fractions of months: N = min (12 / T; 1)
Gas restitution
An annual record sheet showing use of Gas Taken Off shall be drawn up by the Operator for the period from the 1st of December to the 30th of November.
If a surplus is identified, the Operator shall calculate, based on the surplus recorded at the terminal, a quantity to be returned to the Shipper on the basis of the quantities effectively unloaded by the Shippers during the considered period.
Tariffs for Early Send-Out and Send-Out Postponement Service
The tariff for using the Early and Send-Out Postponement Service is defined by:
Tarif = €10 000 x N + Qjr × €0.25
where :
Qjr the quantity of energy to be be brought forward or to be postponed.
N is the number of different cargoes for which the Shipper has subscribed to an Early Send-Out and/or Postponement Send-Out that month, whether any re-scheduling on the Shipper’s initiative were retained or not.
Transfer of LNG Inventory
The LNG market place access tariff is the sum of the following two terms:
Fixed term of €500 /month
Term proportional to quantities exchanged: €0.01/MWh (0°C) exchanged
Ship or Pay: The Shipper is subject to minimum payment obligation of its whole subscribed capacity in the terminal as specified in its contractual schedule adjusted of the additional quantities resulting of its scheduling and re-scheduling requests.
SHIP RELOADING SERVICE
Montoir-de-Bretagne LNG Terminal
TFR | 240 000 € per reloading |
TNA | € 50 000 |
TQR | 0.16 €/MWh (0°C) reloaded |
Fos-Tonkin LNG Terminal
TFR | 180 000 € per reloading |
TNA (Number of Berthing Rate) | € 45 000 |
TVR | 0.16 €/MWh (0°C) reloaded |
Under this service, no gas is taken off.
Tariff is to be paid by the Shipper as long as notice of the Reloading Schedule is given by the Operator.
FORMALITIES AND OTHER COSTS
Port costs and port service costs
The Shipper shall bear port duties, taxes and costs and the cost of port services for all cargoes, its transportation, its import or export, that may be required to ensure that it is transferred at the terminal under appropriate safety conditions.
Customs and administrative formalities
The Shipper shall deal with the administrative and customs formalities required to import the LNG unloaded and to export the LNG reloaded under the Contract.
Duties and taxes
Each party shall pay any duties and taxes incumbent on it pursuant to the regulations in force at any time. The tariff to access the LNG terminal to be paid by the Shipper is exclusive of any tax or deduction of a similar type resulting from this regulation.

Natural gas is principally composed of methane (CH4) and is found in natural reserves. As a primary energy source, it offers many qualities, and is the cleanest fossil fuel.
It is appreciated for its high calorific value, ease of use, and environmentally-friendly composition.
Natural gas is odourless, but an artificial odorant is added to enable detection in the event of a leak.
When natural gas burns it does not emit dust, soot or smoke, producing only water vapour and carbon dioxide, much like human breath, which is then transformed back into oxygen by plants. It is the most energy-efficient of all fossil fuels on the market.
An explosion of natural gas can only occur if the following three factors occur simultaneously:
Every care is taken in at LNG terminals to prevent these three things occurring at the same time.

Corresponds to aggregated Shipper send-out allocations in kWh 25°C at the interface between the LSO and the TSO.
This information is provided at 7h00 LT for the preceding gas day.
Amount of gas in kWh 25°C belonged by the shippers in the tanks of the LNG terminal at the beginning of the day.
Corresponds to the aggregated Shipper daily send-out nominations in kWh 25°C at the interface point between the LSO and the TSO (PITTM).
Provisional data for each gas day of the coming month are provided on the 25th of the former month when the monthly programs are published by the LSO.
Then the provisional data for a given gas day is replaced by a definitive value at 18h00 LT on the day before.
