a Norwegian company for environmental sustainability Clean Ship Solutions for Cleaner Oceans We provide world leading solutions for cleaner oceans.

We are publicly listed on Oslo Axess, and our turnover will exceed 200 MNOK in 2017. We have a strong track record with 160 environmental technology systems installed onboard 100 cruse ships.

2 a Norwegian company for environmental sustainability Clean Ship Solutions for Cleaner Oceans We provide world leading solutions for cleaner oceans. We help Cruise Liners meet their sustainability targets. We are headquartered in Norway with subsidiaries in US and Poland, having 55 employees whereas 33 are employed in Norway. We are publicly listed on Oslo Axess, and our turnover will exceed 200 MNOK in We have a strong track record with 160 environmental technology systems installed onboard 100 cruse ships. Geographical Presence Our forward orderbook of approx 460 MNOK includes systems to 30 cruise ships that will enter service in the period from 2018 until Every second cruise ship delivered to market from 2014 will be equipped with Scanship technology for wastewater purification treating all grey water and black water. Scanship's success has been driven by environmental standards enforced in the State of Alaska and soon to be implemented in the Baltic Sea. 2

3 Scanship clean tech systems and solutions Scanship AWP System, NCL Breakaway Class Our system offering includes wastewater purification, garbage handling, foodwaste processing and bio residue treatment. Cruiseships equipped with our systems can obtain zero discharge to sea. We supply systems to cruise newbuilds and retrofits on ships in operations for environmental upgrades. Scanship Waste Management System on Viking Star Scanship MAP test facility in Norway (Waste2Energy) We provides to shipowners operational assistance, service, repairs and consumables to ensure cost efficient and environmental complaint operations. We delivers sludge treatment as part of RAS technology for smolt facilities, landbased fish farms and seabased closed cage systems to prevent pollution to sea and to recover products and nutrients. We are developing a new technology based on microwave assisted pyrolysis where all carbon based waste will be converted into usable energy, reducing the use of fossil fuels on ships, and giving the operator the opportunity for carbon capture by landing charcoal. 3

IMO Marpol Regulations for discharge of sewage Discharge of sewage (black water) from ships are regulated by the IMO Marpol Annex IV except for higher standards that may be enforced in port states.

land, and the rate of discharge of untreated sewage shall be approved by the Administration (IMO Marpol Annex IV). A special area established under Annex IV is the Baltic Sea area.

4 IMO Marpol Regulations for discharge of sewage Discharge of sewage (black water) from ships are regulated by the IMO Marpol Annex IV except for higher standards that may be enforced in port states. 40 years of regulatory history for discharge of wastewater Sewage (black water) which is not purified and disinfected may be discharged at a distance of more than 12 nautical miles from the nearest land, and the rate of discharge of untreated sewage shall be approved by the Administration (IMO Marpol Annex IV). A special area established under Annex IV is the Baltic Sea area. The discharge of sewage (black water) from passenger ships within the special area will generally be prohibited under the new regulations, except when the ship has in operation an approved sewage treatment plant which has been certified by the Administration (see resolution MEPC.227(64)). Black water is wastewater from toilets Grey waters are wastewater from showers, galleys, foodwaste preparations, laundry, pools, jacuzzies, and drains from AC with the exceptions of oily bilge water. The sewage treatment plant installed on a passenger ship intending to discharge sewage effluent in special areas should additionally meet the nitrogen and phosphorus removal standard when tested for its Certificate of Type Approval by the Administration (resolution MEPC.227(64), section 4.2). Grey water is not regulated by IMO Marpol, and can be discharged overboard unrestricted except for higher standards that may be enforced in port states. IMO Marpol Annex IV regulations are not sufficient to prevent pollution to sea. 4 4

5 Regulations driving clean tech development and deployment State of Alaska enforced continuous discharge for the Cruise industry in Alaskan waters from 2002 based on US EPA quality requirements and under strict USCG control regime. The Alaska standards known as the Alaskan Murkowski allows Cruise ships equipped with advanced purification systems for grey and black water to discharge its purified effluent overboard continuously even in ports, as long as proof of compliance can be provided. Port states environmental regulations has been driving clean tech investments in the Cruise industry the latest 15 years The Alaska standard was the first known standard to regulate both sewage (black water) and grey water from passenger ships. The Alaska standard soon became a cruise industry standard, where advanced wastewater purification has been deployed on both Cruise newbuilds and on existing Cruiseships as retrofits the latest 12 years. Today, almost 30% of the cruise vessels ( 125 ships) are equipped with advanced wastewater purification in compliance with the standards enforced in Alaskan waters. The new IMO Marpol standard for sewage discharge in special area are currently driving clean tech investment for both black & grey on Cruise ships The new IMO standard for special area Baltic Sea known as the Helcom standard (IMO Marpol MEPC 227(64) chapter 4.2) to be enforced from 2019, has in the latest 3-5 years started to become the new wastewater discharge standard for the Cruise industry. The majority of Cruise newbuilds are today delivered with Helcom compliant technology for both grey and black water. 5 5

7 Promoting new discharge standards in Norwegian waters Norway should introduce higher wastewater discharge standards similar to the Alaskan and Baltic Sea regulations for cruise ships operating in all Norwegian waters. Norway is currently working on a zero discharge standard for sewage and grey water in the three UNESCO listed fjords of Geiranger, Nærøy and Aurland Today Norway allows all ships to discharge untreated sewage (black water) only 300 meters from shore, while international IMO Marpol regulations only allows discharge outside 12 nm ( meters). Today Norway allows for continuous and unrestricted discharge of untreated grey water from Cruise ships. Wastewater discharge from cruise ships are 4-5 times higher in concentrations per headcount compared to onshore municipalities. Greywater represents 80% while Sewage (Black water) represents 20% of the total pollution in cruise ship wastewater. Norway should implement high discharge standards for both grey water and black water (sewage) as the only sustainable environmental solution. It is recommended that Norway as a port state enforces sustainable environmental standards for Cruise ship wastewater discharge operating in all Norwegian waters. This will drive development and deployment of clean technologies, and prevent pollution to sea. Norway must incentify cruise shipowners that has invested in environmental technology, allowing them for continuous discharge of treated grey and black water inside 12 nm when showing proof of compliance. Cruise shipowners without proper treatment systems should not be allowed to discharge wastewater inside 12 nm from nearest land. 7 7
