Cost Efficiency Model

The Aim of Cost Efficiency Models

To provide Cost Efficiency Models to create significant cost savings to IOC Clients. This will be achieved by alignment and agreement between the parties to collaborate with ANL on various Cost Efficiency Models.

All IOC are seeking long term cost saving initiatives as the focus shifts to optimisation and long -term sustainability. This can be achieved by Cost Efficiency Models.

• Supply Base Costs – Upfront Fixed known cost against nominated Tonnage amount using the Price/Ton Model – No Scope Creep as all services are included.
• Clear robust governance arrangements are in place between Company and Contractor.
• Formalised Contracts outlines each party’s obligations.
• Strong engagement and support by senior management at all stages of a project.
• Senior management from all parties buy in and support the cost cutting initiative.
• A thorough understanding of baseline performance and costs.

Marine Transportation

For Alpha Nautical Logistics, we have aligned ourselves with a world leading shipyard that offers modern vessels with class leading solutions for various types of vessels used in the offshore industry.

ANL focuses on providing innovative proposals to drive down costs based on singular or shared vessel services* using locally flagged vessel with high local content initiatives.
Nominated vessels include:
• Platform Supply Vessel (Large PSV) 900m2 – 1000m2 Deck space
• Fast Support Intervention Vessels (FSIV) up to 35 knots
Inclusive of:
Up to 120 seats for Offshore crew Ampelman Heave Compensated Gangway Gyro stabilized
These vessels can be employed in collaboration with other operators who are in the similar geographic location whereby vessel day rate, fuel and port charges are apportioned on agreed principals. Eg: Price per mile, price per m2 deck space

Vessel Shared Service – “Milk Run” Model

Shared Service Vessels: “Milk Run” Type Model.

Operation of PSV’s or similar, are inherently un-economical and underutilised assets due to various factors (Weather/Standby). By utilising a Shared Vessel/s Services – ANL can plan and co-ordinate each Companies’ requirements for offshore delivery in an agreed sequence. With CCU on ground and ready for loading, the PSV can be quickly turned around for a weekly “Milk run” to various offshore assets.

Currently vessels are time chartered to each Company, resulting in vast hours of underutilised idle time and market related day rate fluctuations. ANL proposes providing the vessel solution and sharing the costs between several clients based on an agreed method.
Methods to consider will include:
• Base Operator – Price per handled ton at ANL Base.
• Vessel charges
ANL to provide fixed Base case for vessel availability.
Utilisation:
• Price per ton
• Price per Nautical Mile
• Price per m2 – deck space
• Shared Namport charges apportioned to Client Loads
• Shared fuel charges apportioned to client - Location/Milage/Utilisation
• Adjacent is an example of a Vessel Shared Services Model between 3 clients, demonstrating the Cost Saving, based on a weekly “Milk Run” to Client locations, using 1x Large PSV.
• Note: Currently each IOC is chartering its own vessels, so the actual vessel spend is 3x what is indicated for the 1 Large PSV. (Assumed 52000 tons of IN/OUT Cargo)
