THE PLANT
In November 1995, a Final Investment Decision (FID) was
signed by the shareholders to build a Liqueed Natural Gas
(LNG) plant in Finima, Bonny Island in Rivers State. This was
followed in December 1995 by the award of a turnkey
Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract to a
consortium of engineering rms comprising Technip,
Snamprogetti, M.W. Kellog and Japan Gas Corporation (TSKJ)
for the Plant (consisting of two trains - Trains 1 and 2, called
the Base Project), the Gas Transmission System (GTS) and the
Residential Area (RA).
Construction at the plant site commenced in February 1996
and on August 12, 1999, Train 2 was ready for start-up.
Production of LNG commenced on September 15. Train 1
subsequently came on stream on February 27, 2000.
The second phase of development, called Expansion Project,
commenced with an FID in February 1999 to develop Train 3
and the plant's condensate stabilisation system. Train 3 was
completed and came into operation in November 2002.
The next phase of development called the NLNGPlus project,
comprising Trains 4 and 5, commenced with an FID in March
2002. Train 4 came on stream in November 2005 and Train 5
was started up in February 2006.
NLNGSix project, consisting of Train 6 and additional
20
condensate processing, LPG storage and Jetty facilities

commenced with an FID in 2004. Train 6 became operational
in December 2007.
With six trains currently operational, the entire complex is
capable of producing 22 Million Tonnes Per Annum (mtpa) of
LNG, and 5 mtpa of NGLs (Liqueed Petroleum Gas (LPG) and
Condensate) from 3.5 Billion (standard) cubic feet per day
(Bcf/d) of natural gas intake.
Plans for building Train 7 that will lift the total production
capacity to 30 mtpa of LNG are currently progressing with
some preliminary early site preparation work initiated. Further
work awaits an FID by the shareholders.
The plant has rapidly and successfully made the transition from
a construction project to a stable production operation with
relentless focus on operational excellence, de-bottlenecking
and regular Turn-Around Maintenance (TAM) of the assets
whilst imbibing proven techniques and processes to maximise
production, and manage human interferences and impacts. All
these activities are underpinned by a Health, Safety, Security &
Environment (HSSE) culture that continually seeks improvements
in the safe and sustainable utilisation of our assets. Additional
projects are in development to extend and rejuvenate the
assets beyond their original design life.
The plant performance is regularly benchmarked internationally
with other LNG plants around the world and continues to rank
amongst the biggest and top performers.
NLNG has, within a short span of time, grown in status to

become a very reliable supplier of LNG in the Atlantic Basin,
serving the European, North American and Far East markets.
10 gas turbine electricity generators with a combined

capacity of more than 320 MW
The Plant is built on 2.27 sq.km of largely reclaimed land in

Finima, Bonny Island. The main elements of the facilities
already in operation are:

NLNG AND ITS

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE
NIGERIAN ECONOMY
purchases from oil producing companies, of which the Federal

Government of Nigeria owns 55%-60%.
Nigerias overall earnings from NLNG is now over 70%,
comprising of the 49% dividend, 30% CIT, and other taxes
With the incorporation of Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) on

17th May 1989, the LNG industry in Nigeria was born. It is
successfully harnessing associated gas volumes which would
otherwise have been ared. It is now also considered one of
the most important economic projects in Nigeria. NLNG has
already generated signicant revenues for the nation.
With its plant construction, the company has generated

considerable Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) for the country.
The project today has assets worth over USD13 billion. And
49% of this belongs to the country through the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
Environmental Hazard Reduction
Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
NLNG has converted about 119 Bcm (billion standard cubic

metres) or 4.2 Tcf (trillion cubic feet) of Associated Gas (AG) to
exports as LNG and Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs), thus helping
to reduce gas aring by Upstream Companies from over 60%
to less than 25%. Flares are only permitted in order to
eliminate waste gas which cannot be converted to any further
use. Flares also act as safety systems for non-waste gas and
are released via pressure relief valves, when required, to ease
the strain on equipment.
Since it began operations, the company has contributed about

4% of Nigeria's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). As a good
corporate citizen, the company also contributes immensely to
national wealth and to the wellbeing of states in which it
operates, by paying all applicable taxes and tariffs. Beginning
from 2014, corporate income tax will exceed N220 billion per
annum, by far the highest in Nigeria and Sub-Sahara Africa.
Monetisation of Gas
NLNG mops up gas that would otherwise be ared, thus
making signicant contributions to the nation's income,
delivering in the last thirteen years over USD13 billion in
dividends. The company has paid over USD18 billion on gas
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
Job Creation
Nigeria LNG Limited provided more than 2,000 jobs each
construction year. Overall, the major sub-contractors employed
about 18,000 Nigerians in technical jobs in the Base Project
(Trains 1 and 2). About 500 expatriates played mainly
supervisory roles during the Base Project and were
understudied by the Nigerians whom they worked with. These
25
Nigerians, with enhanced skills, have long joined the country's

workforce, providing a support base for technology transfer
and industrialisation.
Local Content Development
An average of 46 local companies and 398 local suppliers
were involved throughout construction of the existing six trains.
A total of 11,284 Nigerians were trained and the percentage
of local content on community projects was 100% with a total
value of USD14.1 million during NLNG Plus (Trains 4 and 5)
and NLNGSix (Train Six) projects, where the community
project components were handled by NLNG.
In its present production phase, many Nigerian companies
have beneted from NLNG's Nigerian Content Policy which,
among other things, encourages full participation of
indigenous rms in the company's contracting and
procurement processes. One such beneciary is Enchep
Limited whose facilities were revamped with NLNG's help to
supply thousands of different sizes and ranges of gaskets to
Trains 4, 5 and 6. Dorman Long Nigeria Limited, also with
NLNG's help, has supplied steel structures and low-pressure
carbon steel vessels for Train 3. Yet other beneciaries include
AluminiumNow, Niger Delta Petroleum Resources, Nexans
Kabelmetal, Holborn Nigeria Limited, and Waste Pipes and
Drainages, to mention only a few.
Community Development
In our host communities, especially Bonny, housing, catering
26
and transportation enjoyed a boom as a result of huge capital

inow into the economy during NLNG's construction phase. A
number of industries were also attracted to the Island, notable
among which were banking and joint venture companies in the
area of equipment and spare parts manufacturing. This is in
addition to the over N25 billion NLNG has expended on
community projects over the years.
Domestic LPG supply

NLNG commenced the supply of Liqueed Petroleum Gas
(LPG) otherwise known as cooking gas to the domestic market
in 2007 when reneries became challenged. This is in line
with the company's commitment to contribute signicantly to
the stimulation and development of the domestic LPG market in
Nigeria. Our intervention brought down the price of cooking
gas from N7,000 to N3,500 per 12.5kg cylinder. NLNG has
signed sales and purchase Agreements (SPA) with off-takers (all
Nigeria companies) in which the company is now committed
to deliver 250,000 tonnes of LPG into the Nigerian market
annually.
Nigerianisation
NLNG and its shareholders agreed on a Nigerianisation
scheme on September 1, 1997. This was revisited and updated
in 2004. The objective of the scheme which was to Nigeranise
the company's workforce was achieved in 2012. It started by
recruiting Higher National Diploma graduates and training
them as technicians and operators. This is a deliberate policy
to enable the relatively young minds imbibe the skills, work
culture, discipline and professionalism that the business
requires. NLNG also instituted a staff training and
development drive for different cadres of technical staff to help
them acquire the requisite skills and competence for
management, supervisory and operational positions in the
company. The company continues to recruit young engineers
and other technical staff, as part of this initiative.
Following the successful close-out of the Nigerianisation

scheme, NLNG is currently engaged in staff domestication
(NLNGnisation) a gradual and phased development of
NLNG direct staff to occupy positions currently occupied by
shareholder staff (Non-Zoned Positions in NLNG).
Increased Shipping/Marine Human

Resources
With the incorporation of its rst subsidiary, Bonny Gas
Transport (BGT), in 1989, the LNG shipping industry in
Nigeria was born. Currently, NLNG, through NLNG Ship
Management Limited (NSML), another of its subsidiaries, is the
biggest employer of Nigerian seafarers on board its 13 NLNG
directly-owned carrier ships.
In order to ensure that Nigeria continues to expand its
capacity to produce capable seafarers, Nigeria LNG continues
to support the Maritime Academy oF Nigeria (MAN), Oron in
Akwa-Ibom State through provision of equipment and training
of personnel. MAN provides education, training and
upgrading of ofcer cadets to enable them to perform duties at
sea as Deck and Engineering ofcers. NLNG has trained
hundreds of sea-going ofcers, some to the level of Captains
and Chief Engineers.
Corporate Social Responsibility

Nigeria LNG Limited currently provides uninterrupted power to
over 200,000 inhabitants and businesses on Bonny Island
through a rural electrication project managed by the Bonny
27
28
Utility Company (BUC). BUC is an initiative of NLNG-led Joint

Industry Companies (JIC) which also includes water supply to
the Island.
With its N500 million micro-nance scheme, NLNG has
brought alive the concept of good neighbourliness in its host
(Bonny) and 110 contiguous pipeline communities. These
pipeline communities have also enjoyed amenities from NLNG
such as roads, hospitals, schools, and supply of learning aids,
among others.
Nigeria LNG Limited also promotes the sciences and arts
through its sponsorship of The Nigeria Prize for Science and
The Nigeria Prize for Literature, one of the most prestigious
awards for excellence in science and literature in Africa, each
worth USD100,000 in prize money.
funding of the Bonny Vocational Centre (BVC). BVC is the only

accredited City & Guilds Centre in Nigeria. It empowers
youths with appropriate vocational skills that will make them
gainfully employed and capable of contributing meaningfully
to the development of themselves and the society.
Vendor Finance Scheme

NLNG recognises the fact that funding is the bane of the
Nigerian manufacturing industry. This led to the introduction of
USD 1 billion NLNG Local Vendors Financing Scheme (NLVFS)
which facilitates access to funds from participating banks by
NLNG-registered vendors (suppliers of goods or contractors of
services). This way, vendors get speedy access to nance for
their contracts, or procurement orders, at competitive rates.
Indeed, education is a special focus area for NLNG. The

company has earmarked N2 billion (USD12 million) for
the development of engineering education in six Nigerian
universities to support the countrys educational sector. NLNG
will spend N340 million (USD2 million) each on the
construction of modern engineering laboratories and supplying
them with cutting-edge equipment. The universities are
University of Ibadan, University of Ilorin, University of Port
Harcourt, University of Maiduguri, Ahmadu Bello University,
and University of Nigeria Nsukka.
The company promotes acquisition of vocational skills through

GAS SUPPLY
Nigeria is blessed with abundant reserves of associated and
non-associated gas estimated to be in excess of 180 Trillion
(standard) cubic feet (Tcf).
The country is ranked ninth in terms of proven natural gas
reserves in the world. The natural gas reserves are estimated to
be sufcient to sustain current production rates for over 60
years.
export NGL and gas projects such as the West African Gas
Pipeline Company (WAGPco) and, potentially, other future
LNG projects.
The NLNG six-train complex is the biggest gas consumer and
exporter in Nigeria with its current daily consumption of almost
3.5 bcfd, equivalent to the total daily consumption of
industrialised countries like the Netherlands.
Gas Production and Utilisation in Nigeria
Geologists believe that there is a lot more gas to be found

(potentially up to 600 Tcf), if companies deliberately explore
for gas, as opposed to nding it while in search of oil.
The government aims to eliminate all aring of gas associated
with the production of oil, and NLNG continues to play a
signicant part in this. In the period 19992013, NLNG has
converted 119 Bcm (billion standard cubic metres) or 4.2 Tcf
(trillion cubic feet) of Associated Gas (AG) to export products
(equivalent to more than 1460 LNG and NGL cargoes) which
otherwise would have been ared.
With further improvement in the collection of associated gas,
NLNG with its 6-Train LNG/NGL complex will reduce
upstream aring in Nigeria even further.
Other demands on the use of Nigeria's gas are domestic
power generation, domestic utilities and industries, as well as

Gas Supply Agreements
Feedgas
Nigeria LNG Limited has long term Gas Supply Agreements

(GSAs) with three Joint Ventures (JVs) for the supply of natural
gas (feedgas) to the plant. These JVs are Shell Petroleum
Development Company of Nigeria Limited (SPDC), Total
Exploration Production Nigeria (TEPNG) and Nigerian Agip
Oil Company Limited (NAOC).
Feedgas is produced by the JVs from various concession areas

in the Niger Delta, from onshore and offshore elds and
supplied to NLNG under a long term Gas Supply Agreement
with each JV. The agreements ensure efcient gas supply to
the plant throughout the life of the projects.
Details of the agreements are as follows: (% vol. of gas supply

by each JV):
SPDC-JV is currently supplying feedgas from a number of elds

including Gbaran Ubie (with a capacity of 1.2 Bcf/d, which
started-up in June 2010), Soku, Bonny (on-shore), Bonga, and
EA (off-shore) supply facilities, each receiving gas from a wide
range of oil and gas elds.
Additionally, under a special supply arrangement with the
SPDC-JV, an indigenous marginal eld concessionaire
/operator - Niger Delta Petroleum Resources (NDPR)
commenced natural gas supply to NLNG in November 2012
from its Ogbelle-Obumeze oil and gas process facilities. At
35mmcf/d, it currently supplies 1 % of NLNG daily feedstock
with potential to grow to 100mmscf/d.

The NAOC-JV supplies gas to NLNG from its Obiafu-Obrikom

(OB-OB) Integrated Gas Supply centre which receives gas
from a wide range of elds including Idu, Akri, Kwale, Irri,
Oshie, Tebidaba and Ebocha oil and gas elds.
The TEPNG-JV derives gas supplied to the plant from the onshore Obite, Ibewa and Obagi elds. Additionally, natural gas
rich in liquids is supplied to NLNG from its off-shore Amenam
33
and Akpo platforms. Currently, TEPNG is running a project to

increase its supply capacity from the Obite Gas Plant. A
separate 42-inch diameter gas transmission pipeline is also in
project execution phase, to bring the additional gas from Obite
Plant to NLNG.
At present, with six trains in full operation, the total gas
requirement of the company's Bonny Island natural gas
liquefaction plant is about 3500 MMscf/d (3.5 Bcf/d).
Gas is transmitted to the NLNG complex through six
independent Gas Transmission Systems (GTS). GTS-1, -2, -4
and Bonny Non Associated Gas (BNAG) piping systems are
on-shore, while GTS-3 and -5 are off-shore lines.
COMMERCIAL
Marketing & Sales Administration
Since October 1999 when the rst LNG cargo was loaded for
delivery to Montoir Terminal in France, NLNG has maintained
its reputation as a reliable and secure supplier of Liqueed
Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquids (Condensates and LPG)
worldwide. With a six-train complex of 22 mtpa LNG
nameplate production capacity and 5 mtpa NGLs production
capacity, NLNG now has the capacity to load and safely
deliver over 300 cargoes of its products annually.
LNG Contracts
NLNG currently manages sixteen (16) long term LNG Sales
Purchase Agreements (SPAs) executed with 11 buyers on a
Delivered Ex-Ship (DES) basis. These buyers include Enel, Gas
Natural, Botas, GDF Suez, GALP Gas Natural, BG LNG,
Endesa, ENI, Iberdrola, Shell Western LNG BV and Total Gas
and Power Ltd.
The Long Term LNG buyers take delivery of their volumes in
receiving facilities spread across the Atlantic Basin in countries
such as Spain, France, Portugal and Italy in Europe, Turkey,
Mexico and the United States of America.
In recent times, NLNG cargoes have been delivered to the Far
East, Middle East, South America and the United Kingdom
through existing customers and via spot Master FOB
34
agreements with several companies. Volumes have gone as far

as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, India, Kuwait, Brazil
and Wales. This has positioned the company as a global
player in the gas industry.
NLNG has also executed over 38 Spot Free on Board (FOB)
LNG Master Sales Agreements with various companies located
across major markets, enabling the sales of excess production
volumes to the spot LNG market.
Natural Gas Liquids

Known as Natural Gas Liquids, high quality Liqueed
Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Condensate (Natural Gasoline) are
by-products of the natural gas liquefaction process. NLNG
currently produces in excess of 1.5 and 1.0 million tons per
annum respectively of Condensate and LPGs per annum. 75%
of both LPG (Propane & Butane) and Condensate are sold on
Free on Board (FOB) basis to its shareholders on equity basis
using a matching mechanism on a price set by a competitive
tender, with prequalied companies taking up the remaining
25% of the product volume.
Domestic LPG Supply

NLNG commenced supply of LPG to the Nigerian domestic
market in 2007. That rst NLNG LPG cargo into the domestic
market was discharged at Apapa jetty on December 26.
At the moment, NLNG has signed Sales and Purchase
Agreements (SPAs) with 15 off-takers (all Nigerian companies)
in which the company is committed to deliver up to 250,000
tonnes of LPG into the Nigerian market annually, in line with

the commitment to grow the domestic LPG market in Nigeria.
LPG is delivered Ex Ship (DES) model with NLNG-chartered
LPG tankers. Under the DES model, the LPG tanker loads from
NLNG Terminal in Bonny and delivers directly to the buyer's
terminal at the various ports in Nigeria. From January 2013 to
August 2013, Gaz Providence, the LPG tanker, loaded
128,510.70 MT and discharged 128,389.81 MT of LPG to
the Nigerian domestic LPG market. In order to assure safe
operations at the local LPG terminals, NLNG conducted Due
Diligence Inspections of the respective discharge terminals and
also provided training to the operators of the terminals (NNPC,
TOTAL, PPMC, etc.).
The LPG Domestic Supply scheme, which has been an
outstanding success, has led to a signicant reduction in the
end-user price of LPG in the domestic market.
In The Future
NLNG will continue to consolidate its position as one of the
largest producers and exporters of LNG in the world,
maintaining its position as a major, strategic and reliable
supplier. Currently, NLNG delivers some 7% of global supply.
NLNG's 8.4mtpa Train 7 project, which will raise the
liquefaction capacity to 30.4mtpa, is now awaiting Final
Investment Decision (FID). SPAs have already been executed
with ve buyers.

In 2013, NLNG chartered two additional vessels on an ad
hoc, single voyage basis: the LNG Jupiter from Statoil and the
38
Sonangol Sambizanga from Angola LNG. Both vessels were

th
th
redelivered to their owners on 15 and 13 September 2013
respectively. NLNG also has one vessel, Stena Clear Sky,
under medium-term charter. The vessel was chartered for a
term of three years in 2012, and will be redelivered to her
owner in 2015.
In addition to our traditional deliveries to Europe and the US,
NLNG also supplies LNG to South America, with deliveries to
Mexico and Brazil; and to Asia and the Middle East, with
deliveries to Japan, South Korea, India, China, Taiwan,
Thailand and Kuwait.
Ship Management Knowledge Transfer

Project (SMKTP)
NLNG reached an agreement on Ship Management
Knowledge Transfer Project (SMKTP) with Shell International
Trading and Shipping Company Limited (STASCo) in 2008
with the contract formally signed on June 23, 2009. STASCo
manages one of the world's largest eets of Liqueed Natural
Gas (LNG) carriers and oil tankers. The company is known for
its high level expertise and decades of experience regarding
maritime safety and environment, vessel quality assurance, oil
spill preparedness, port and berth assessments, and
emergency management, and has partnered with NLNG since
inception.
Ship Management Knowledge Transfer Project involves the
training of NLNG staff (called Secondees) in the acquisition of
appetite for more tonnage.

NLNGSS staff will be involved in design, plan approval and
construction supervision of the vessels at the designated
shipyards with the appointed Shipping Adviser.
Three NLNGSS staff are directly involved in the design and
plan approval and subsequent building of the six new BGTPlus
vessels, and will later move to the shipyards for active
participation in construction supervision during the construction
phase of the project.
Plans are also made for the training of Nigerians in the
acquisition of DFDE experience which will include cross-posting
to companies currently managing this class of vessels, and
early deployment to shipyards.

ship management skills /competencies in 13 core shipping

activities known as Business Elements. The project is overseen
by a third party assurance provider with series of audits aimed
at ensuring alignment with the plan, quality and agreed
project schedule. The project achieved milestones which
included the birth of a ship management department in
NLNG, NLNG Ship Management Services (NLNGSS), and
consequent phased take-over of the management of BGT
vessels from STASCo.
Between July 2011 and July 2013, NLNGSS took over the
management of six BGT-owned vessels which were previously
being managed by STASCo. NLNG secondees who were
previously undergoing training under the SMKTP agreement
with STASCo have been moved back to NLNG.
NLNG also had a similar agreement with Anglo Eastern UK
Limited (AEUK), the LNG arm of Anglo Eastern Goup (AESML).
The Anglo-Eastern Group (AESML) has well over 15,000
crewmen and over 1,000 seasoned shore-based workers
round the world. It offers the complete spectrum of ship and
crew management and technical services, which include
technical support, superintendence, procurement, accounting,
insurance and agency services.
NLNG signed Secondee Training Agreement and
Memorandum of Understanding for a Scheme of Ship
Management Knowledge Transfer with AESML on 15th June
2009 and 13th January 2011 respectively. The secondees that
were being trained by AESML have since completed their

training and have been transferred to various roles and
responsibilities within NLNG shipping division.
Until July 2013, AEUK had been the operational/technical
managers of four BGT-owned vessels. However, following the
increased capacity and capability of NLNGSS in eet
management and consequent Board approval, the
technical/operational management of these vessels were
successfully transferred to NLNGSS. AEUK has ceased to
perform this role within the project. AEUK, however, continues
to partner with NLNG in the supply of manpower for the
manning of BGT-owned vessels.
NLNGSS continues to increase ship management capacity
through training and development of NLNG mariners.
Currently, there are four Assistant Superintendents undergoing
ship management training directly under NLNGSS tutelage
and one secondee in training at STASCo.
Ship-Management Knowledge Transfer

Project for Acquisition of Competency in
DFDE LNG Carriers (SMKTAPlus)
Following an Economic Replacement Assessment (ERA) study
on the older BGT vessels, Board approved a eet renewal and
optimization program. Consequently, BGT is currently building
six Dual Fuel Diesel Engine (DFDE) LNG carriers in South
Korea. Four of the vessels will replace six older vessels while
two are aimed at eet optimization to meet NLNG's increased

Continuous improvement of the HSE and operational
performance of each ship in the eet is important to BGT and
NLNG, and is subject to continuous review.
Each ship in the eet is continuously monitored and
benchmarked against LNG industry standards. This is done
through:
Application and adherence to NLNG HSE Policy and

Procedures
Biannual Fleet Managers' HSSE workshop to discuss

and exchange best practice and HSSE improvement
Quarterly Marine Contractors HSSE Managers'

Workshop to build commitment towards improving
safety on board marine crafts that support the
operation of the vessels at Bonny

Shipping: Major Milestones
Shipping and Marine Quality Assurance

NLNG, through the Shipping Assurance and Compliance
Department (SDA), ensures that each segment of the entire
NLNG shipping and marine business operations complies with
best industry practice and international standards.
In line with NLNG Vessel Quality Assurance Policy, all vessels and
terminals used for NLNG business are positively vetted using a
combination of inspections, assessments and due diligence
reviews prior to being used. These activities, including a number
of Oil Company International Marine Forum (OCIMF) accredited
Ship Inspection Report (SIRE) inspections, are conducted in line
with industry best practice.
To this end, NLNG has been admitted into the Oil Companies
International Marine Forum (OCIMF), an organisation with the
mission to be the foremost authority on safe and
environmentally responsible operation of tankers and terminals
and to promote continuous improvement in standards of design
and operation. NLNG is represented in the OCIMF key
committees including General Purposes Committee (GPC), Ports
& Terminals Committee (PTC), Gulf of Guinea Piracy Focal
Group (PGoG) and recently elected into the SIRE Focus Group
(SFG).

NLNG Ship Management Limited (NSML)

NLNG Ship Management Limited (NSML) was set up in
response to rapid changes and challenges in the maritime
business and the scarcity of ship board personnel worldwide,
to deliver on NLNG's strategic plan to have a shipping
management service, supported by a dedicated manning
company to develop and supply qualied and competent
shipboard personnel on board its ships. A subsidiary of
NLNG, NSML is charged with the rapid development of
Nigerian shipboard personnel in line with international
standards and practices.
The establishment of NSML is also in furtherance of NLNG's
Nigerianisation policy which is in sync with the federal
government's local content drive.
NSML has continued to implement the Nigerianisation Plan
with regard to BGT vessels. Since its commencement, the
shipboard ofcers' Nigerianisation policy has produced six
captains and four chief engineers.
From 2001 to 2012, a total of 219 cadets have completed
their cadetship training program in UK maritime colleges. As
part of their training, all cadets go on board BGT vessels for
practical experience; this is aimed at instilling early in them the
discipline required for successful career at sea and at meeting
the competency certication requirements. Engineering Cadets
and Junior Engineering Ofcers are also being trained to
obtain qualications in motor ships as well as the existing
steam ships, to allow NSML to meet additional the challenges

and requirements of the new-build DFDE ships. By the end of
2013 NSML had trained 25 Engineering Ofcers who now
have dual certication.
In 2013, 17 cadets completed their three years cadetship and
are now serving on BGT vessels as ofcers.
NSML currently has 192 Nigerian ofcers in its employ and
now completely manages the deployment/training of all
ofcers and cadets. Because we do not have many Nigerians
in the senior ofcer rank yet, in 2013, with Board approval,
NSML started recruiting and employing foreign senior ofcers
to allow the Manning Agreement with AESM to run down. At
the end of 2013 NSML employed nine such ofcers. NSML
continues the direct employment and management of Ratings
as approved by the NSML Board of Directors, for BGT. The
company presently has 154 Ratings in its employ and this
number is expected to increase to 300 by end of 2014.
NLNG continues to support the Nigerian Maritime Academy,
Oron, to train manpower for the industry. Forty NSML Ratings
were sponsored to the Basic Mandatory STCW Training at
Maritime Academy of Nigeria, Oron in 2013.
