For the purposes of this Schedule, Hull & Machinery Insurance as described in Part A paragraph 1(a) and Hull Interest / Freight Interest as described in Part A paragraph 5(b) of this Schedule means an amount, notified by Owner to Company before the Delivery Time, of not less than US$***** million on the Delivery Date and shall be referred to as “Accepted Insured Value”.
PART A - Types of Insurance Coverage
1. | Hull & Machinery Insurance |
(a) | Owner shall take out and maintain Hull & Machinery Insurance with first class marine underwriters for such amount as Owner may require but not less than the market value of the FSRU or the amount required by Owner’s financiers. Unless otherwise agreed, the minimum insured value of the FSRU shall be the Accepted Insured Value; provided that at no time during the Lease Period shall the minimum insured value be less than the amount, if any, established under applicable limitation or liability conventions with respect to the FSRU. Coverage, if any, obtained pursuant to paragraph 5(b) hereof shall be included within insured value and shall result in a corresponding reduction in the level of Hull & Machinery Insurance coverage. |
(b) | The Hull & Machinery insurance shall be placed on terms equivalent to the Norwegian Marine Insurance Plan of 1996 Version 2010 or later amended versions (“NMIP”), or the standard London Institute Hull Clauses in common usage at the date of original issue and the date of each renewal, respectively, or their European, Japanese or American equivalents. |
(c) | Unless placed on Norwegian conditions as per NMIP, the Hull & Machinery insurance shall include specifically: Additional Perils clause (LNG vessel), or the (London) Institute Additional Perils clause Hulls (Clause 294 if 1.10.83 clauses are used - or equivalent if subsequent clauses are used) or the American Hull Syndicate Liner Negligence clause or its equivalents. The Hull & Machinery Insurance may include four-fourths Running Down clause (“RDC”) and liability for Fixed and Floating Objects (“FFO”) cover unless Owner at his sole discretion opts to take out RDC and FFO liability cover by means of Protection & Indemnity insurance placed with one of the leading P&I associations which are members of the International Group of P&I Clubs (the “Approved Clubs”). |
(d) | Owner shall arrange for a deductible on Hull & Machinery Insurance which results in the most economical premiums recognising conditions or restrictions within the Approved Security Interest and the standards which prudent |

3. | Protection & Indemnity Insurance |
(a) | Protection & Indemnity insurance (“P&I Insurance’’) shall be placed as a Mutual or Mobile Offshore Unit (“MOU”) entry at the sole discretion of the Owner, with and subject to and on the basis of the rules of one of the Approved Clubs. |
(b) | The terms of the P&I Insurance shall be consistent with the standard rules of one of the Approved Clubs. The deductibles for the P&I Insurance should result in the most economical premiums, recognising the conditions or restrictions within the Approved Security Interest and standards which prudent shipowners operating first class LNG or floating storage and regasification vessels should observe in insuring LNG vessels of similar type, size, age and trade as the FSRU and which otherwise conform with the terms of the Agreement. |
(c) | In the event that four-fourths Running Down Clause (“RDC”) and liability for Fixed and Floating Objects (“FFO”) cover is taken out by means of Hull & Machinery Insurance, P&I insurance coverage shall be reduced, but only to the extent of avoiding overlap. |
(d) | P&I Insurance shall include Pollution coverage with policy limits not less than US$***** (the “Applicable Amount”) and coverage for removal of wreck at or in the vicinity of any loading terminal or discharge terminal, including between the designated arrival point and such loading terminal or discharge terminal. Should the relevant P&I Club reduce the level of coverage with respect to liabilities for pollution or the threat of pollution to an extent that prudent owners or operators (other than major oil companies) of similar floating, storage and regasification vessels are obtaining additional coverage for such liabilities, then the amount of pollution coverage to be obtained hereunder shall mean the amount then being carried by prudent owners or operators (other than major oil companies) of vessel similar to the FSRU which are procuring insurance that is generally available in the commercial market. |

Owner shall have the same right and obligations in respect of insurance of war risk as provided for all the risks referred to in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 hereof and, where applicable, up to the same amounts of cover.
5. | Compulsory Insurances |

SCHEDULE 7 OWNER PLANNED MAINTENANCE SYSTEM
General
Hoegh LNG Fleet Management (HLFM) has implemented a maintenance system based on a centralised maintenance philosophy. Our maintenance system, XXXX Business Suite, has been developed to support our centralised philosophy. The main features are:
• | Inventory list, components and spare parts |
• | Preventive maintenance program for all components. |
• | Historical records for periodic and unplanned maintenance |
• | Stock control |
• | Integrated purchasing system |
XXXX is the main software tool for all maintenance related actions onboard our vessels. Company may inspect maintenance records and output reports for performance under and in accordance with Clause 2.7 of the agreement.
Organisation
XXXX is installed onboard and at the office. The system is updated daily by scheduled data transfer (replication).
All superintendents are “online” with a copy of the vessel database at the office. This makes it possible for the superintendents to have a close follow up of each vessel with respect to maintenance done onboard. Benchmarking of vessel performance is also simplified through XXXX and the new centralised philosophy.
We have a database containing high quality data that is available at all levels and departments.
Centralised PMS
For similar equipment/spare parts used on different vessels, XXXX gives the opportunity to create a unique common reference. This will be of great advantage in evaluation of equipment performance, as we will get history input from different vessel for the same type of equipment.
Spare part control is also simplified through the common spare part reference. In general, it is very easy to extract data from the system to meet vessel, management and class requirements for maintenance and spare part information.
Dedicated Maintenance Superintendents support all vessels with their maintenance planning, and ensure quality and consistency according to the centralised philosophy.
53
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance are scheduled for all types of jobs for all equipment onboard, like:
• | Overhauls |
• | Inspections |
• | Condition monitoring |
• | Tests |
• | Surveys |
• | Services |
• | Dry dock jobs |
The jobs fall due on different triggers:
• | Calendar frequency (days, weeks or months) |
• | Running hours |
• | Mass flow (e.g. flow meter readings) |
• | Condition of equipment (based on e.g. vibration monitoring or inspections) |
Preventive maintenance plan are based on maker’s recommendation and operational experience.
Monitoring of Maintenance
Senior officers, Superintendents and office staff monitors the maintenance closely by regular reporting and daily follow up jobs done. The main parameters are:
• | Unplanned maintenance |
• | Overdue jobs |
• | One-time work orders |
• | Critical systems |
Continuous Improvement
HLFM has implemented a continuous improvement procedure to optimise the preventive maintenance plan based on operational experience.
Vessel, superintendent and XXXX support group take part in the process to evaluate and implement preventive maintenance strategies.
