mooring lines during a vessel visit. This method could expose the crew members to dangers such as snap back or sudden tension on the mooring lines due to cargo movement or wind-age. A safer solution would be to install a weak link (small diameter rope) to secure the end of the mooring line to the winch drum. In an emergency situation the mooring line would be allowed to pay out to its termination where the weak link would part freeing the rope. Please install a weak link/ small diameter rope and remove the axe and block combination for cargo mooring line emergency release. 15 Please plan the maintenance jobs properly. If maintenance becomes overdue, a valid reason must be provided by the vessel explaining why this has happened and the intended actions to complete maintenance accordingly. 16 Please read and discuss the incidents sent by the company (especially Safety Flash) in the QHSE meetings. 17 Dockwise have enlisted the assistance of the Dutch Marines - Vessel Protection Detachment (V.P.D) in order to improve crew safety during High Risk Area transits. It is imperative that the Master (SSO) and VPD commander have regular daily meetings to review the envisaged risk in the next 24 hours, discuss any improvements to the hardening or watch keeping rota and any other matter that can improve or assist the VPD in executing their duties. The VPD are on board for the crew’s protection and as such assistance is to be given to them. Please be guided by DW Fleet Circular 06/15. 18 Crew joining vessel via shore launches should ensure that the launch has sufficient life jackets and life rafts for all personnel on board. Please refer to COSWP, AESM SMS and risk assessments before any personnel transfer takes place. 19 All cargoes on Dockwise vessels are carried under a Bill of Lading meaning that once loaded they fall under the care of the vessels Master until discharged. Irrespective of the numbers of personnel carried on the cargo, or whether the cargo has a Safety Management System or not, the overriding authority, under the ISM Code, remains with the Master of the Heavy Lift Vessel at all times. On loading the cargo, the Master of the HLV will conduct a briefing with the senior personnel of the cargo. Please note that the familiarization and control of the subcontractors and riders on board the vessel is the responsibility of the master. For the familiarization of the visitors documents such as Visitor’s Card, Safety Card for contractor (SC 01), Safety and Security familiarization for the Riders (D32B) and Rider Familiarization DVD should be utilized. Duly filed Contractor Cards should be issued to all personnel boarding the vessel (SC 01). The Master or Chief Engineer must ensure that subcontractor personnel are always advised of any hazards, and precautions to be taken and are accompanied by a member of the ship’s crew at all times. Please read circular 06/15 Subcontractor / Visitor control for details. 20 Possession and/or use by a crew member of any drug containing barbiturates including Corvalolum constitutes a contravention of the Company’s D&A policy.

Any items found with illegal repairs must be removed from service immediately. 23 All lifting equipment and accessories must be inspected for general condition & suitability for the task, prior to each use. Every six months all lifting equipment is to be inspected, by the on board competent person (normally the Chief Officer) and matched to on board certification. At the time of the thorough inspection, if passed, as suitable for use, the equipment will be marked with the new colour rotation (January or July). Please refer to HLM 09.00 24 Please refer to circular 17/11 for the guidance that must be taken into account when a Heavy Lift Vessel is involved in operations which require the vessel to submerge in a “Deep Hole”. 25 On a number of cargoes the cargo owner requires riders to accompany the cargo during the voyage. The vessel’s Master must be aware of all activities being carried out on board the cargo and has the final authority to decide whether the activity proceeds or Owners Briefing – Dockwise Revision: 3 Page 3 of 8 Issue Date: 01 Jun 2017 ANGLO-EASTERN

not. Under the ISM code the Master of the vessel retains the overriding authority.

The safety briefing must be conducted at the first opportunity after boarding. The briefing should clearly define when the Master requires a copy of the Cargo Daily Work Plan and associated Permits to Work (if applicable).

If the activities which require a permit are under taken on the cargo then a completed permit to work must be submitted to the Master for his review, approval and counter signature. 26 Ensure the following training is included in the Vessel Training Planners:  Personnel Basket Transfer  Manual Handling. Please refer to SBP 13.06 27 Please take note of the following areas that were identified for improvement as per circular 11/11 as a part of cargo loading HSE observations: Risk assessment, High Level Alarms, Shipside collapsible railings, Checklists, Training and PPE. 28 The Safety at Dockwise website www.safetyatdockwise.com is dedicated to promoting the safety culture both onboard and ashore. All officers and crew are encouraged to visit the website during their leave and to promote the “Be Smart Work Safe” goals when they return onboard. As part of the campaign to raise awareness, Dockwise have designed posters highlighting the hazard potential / consequences, of day-to-day activities of “taking the stairs / ladders”. These posters must be displayed at a conspicuous location on board. 29 Masters are to ensure that, following each change of crew and / or rider’s composition onboard, an updated crew list and riders list is forwarded to Anglo Eastern. 30 All vessels are requested to include a detailed status report regarding the operational status of the ballast tank gauging system onboard along with the routine monthly reports emailed to the office. 31 Please note that under no circumstances should any person climb on a guidepost during cargo operations. Mooring training must be included in the drill rotation to ensure that all personnel are aware of the dangers associated with mooring operations and aware of the correct mooring procedures. Methods of freeing mooring lines caught on guideposts are to be explained onboard. 32 Please exercise caution / good judgment when using Social Media Networks (Face Book, YouTube, LinkedIn, MySpace etc.) 33 Vessels which cannot meet the requirements of the ICS Guide to Helicopter / Ship Operations may use helicopters, in an emergency situation only. The landing of helicopters on deck remains prohibited, except in an emergency situation (at the discretion of the Master / Pilot). Where there is no designated winch area onboard, the vessel should select an appropriate winching area for use in emergency situations. 34 Please read the procedures for the safe use and maintenance of portable ladders. 35 The practice of using Sledge Hammers / Forklift trucks to remove deck welds is dangerous and must not be continued. 36 The process of “Management Vessel Safety Visits” (MVSV) to the fleet is endorsed by both Anglo Eastern and Dockwise. It is integral in promoting Safety Awareness across the fleet. Please refer circular 08/10 for the format of MVSV. 37 Please read the owners instructions for completion of the Dockwise Noon Report and ensure that it is crosschecked for accuracy prior to sending. All Navigation Officers must be briefed accordingly on joining the vessel. 38 Ballasting of the vessel and final decision-making remains the responsibility of the Master of the vessel. The ballasting/loading position must be agreed between the Master, local authorities and Dockwise Cargo Superintendent.

Excessive UKC must be avoided whenever possible. As guidance the water depth at the discharge location should not be greater than the sum of the maximum submerged depth plus 1.5 meters.

When operations are carried out in deep-water an enhanced risk assessment shall be carried out to ensure that all potential risks have been identified and all possible steps taken to mitigate them.

Simultaneous ballasting/de-ballasting of the vessel and the cargo is not permitted. 39 The T-class vessels can carry out personnel transfer by ships crane only if the criteria as per circular 16/09 is met. Please note that transfers by Personnel baskets using ships cranes must only be undertaken when transfer is essential and it is not practicable to gain access by less hazardous means following a risk assessment. 40 Please read and comply with “Port Call Requirements” as per circular 01/08 which is to be completed for each and every port call and submitted to Anglo- Eastern approximately seven days prior to arrival. The purpose is to appraise all personnel within Dockwise and Anglo Eastern regarding the ship management activities that are scheduled or undertaken during a particular port call. C. Owner Specific PSC Detentions 1 Treasure was detained at Tianjin, China in May 2015. The detention items were:

 Emergency generator cannot be started manually during the inspection.  Emergency generator cannot supply electricity power to emergency switchboard during inspection.  Dosage pump for sewage treatment plant cannot discharge disinfectant fluid. 2 Transporter was detained at New Orleans, USA in Aug 2011.

Fire-fighting systems and appliances were not kept in good working order and readily available for immediate use. The main engine and auxiliary engine service tank’s quick closing valves were blocked in the open position via metal plates. D. Owner Specific Major Problems/ Incidents 1 While departing load port in Japan, the cargo of gantry cranes loaded on board made contact with crane on the jetty causing damage to both the cranes. At the time of casting off wind speed was about 15 to 20 Knots, however immediately after cast off, suddenly wind increased to 35 knots from the port quarter. (Vessel was stbd side alongside) Apparently due to unexpected gust of wind immediately after casting off, vessel started moving forward and despite of M/E being put to full astern, STS crane 1 loaded on vessel made contact with the shore gantry. Tugs were made fast on port bow and port quarter while casting off. These tugs were not used to arrest the ship’s movement. All the communication between the pilot and tug was in Japanese, which could not be understood by the bridge team. Due regard should be given to pre departure assessment and master pilot exchange prior to unberthing of the vessel. 2 An AB onboard heavy lift vessel Transporter sustained a serious leg injury while engaged in a routine task of transferring and securing metal plates in Jan 2015. The vessel was diverted to the nearest port, Manila and the injured person was medically evacuated via a coast guard vessel.

The securing of the metal plates to the engine room bulkhead involved manual handling. Four persons – two on each side – were manually pushing the plates against the bulkhead. During this process, the plates started tilting forward and the weight of the plates was too excessive for the crew to prevent them from falling. While three of the persons managed to jump clear, the AB who was slightly towards the centre tried unsuccessfully to stop the plates from falling thereby sustaining a severe open fracture of the lower right leg. 3 A fitter got seriously hurt in a mooring related accident onboard Dockwise Vanguard while the vessel was being transferred from the quayside to the nearby sinkhole at Corpus Christi, USA in May 2013. When a rope got stuck, he acted on impulse and while he did not have sufficient view to see the upcoming danger, the rope tightened and slammed right in his face. Please refer fleet circular 04/13 for details. 4 On one of the ships in Dec 2012, whilst letting go the fwd. stbd side tugboat, an O/S was hit by the spliced end of the messenger rope which was attached to the tug rope, causing a compound fracture on his right leg under the knee. The O/S was treated on board and then transferred to one of the tugs and taken ashore where he was admitted to hospital and had to undergo an operation. Please refer fleet circular 01/13 for details. 5 An able seaman slipped on a step ladder whilst descending from upper deck to cargo deck onboard Treasure in June 2012 and injured his left leg with ankle dislocated. Medical advice was sought and subsequently the vessel was diverted for medical evacuation of the seaman. Investigation revealed that angle of step ladder was sixty Owners Briefing – Dockwise Revision: 3 Page 5 of 8 Issue Date: 01 Jun 2017 ANGLO-EASTERN

degrees. 6 An Engineering officer sustained significant injuries when he was struck with a cargo mooring rope, whilst loading a floating dry dock, off the Spanish coast onboard Teal in Feb 2011. One of the cargo lines had become snagged on the vessels guidepost. When the initial attempts to clear the cargo line using boat hook by the workboat crew failed, the engineer climbed on top of the guidepost in an attempt to free the fouled rope by hand. The mooring line suddenly got freed and hit the engineer in the lower abdominal area and throwing him over a distance of 15 to 20 meters into the air before he finally landed in the water. 7 Transporter grounded on an uncharted shoal whilst enroute to the sink hole from Port Sudan in Dec 2009. The area where the vessel ran aground was not systematically surveyed. A note on the chart mentioned existence of uncharted shoals and patches of coral. The bridge team did not raise any concerns about cargo discharge area being in an “un-surveyed area”. Cost: USD 2 million 8 Swift lost her port anchor at Parana River anchorage in May 2008. On completion of discharging when vessel weighed anchor, it was noticed that the cable was slack and anchor was missing. The securing shackle was still in place however, the shackle pin had moved out from its locator. 9 Mighty Servant 1 had to jettison her stern anchor whilst departing Rotterdam in March 2008. The aft winch had become in operable due to a hydraulic oil leak. With cargo onboard and a storm imminent it was decided to cut the anchor wire, in consultation with Dockwise. This was deemed the safest and fastest way to leave port before the bad weather. Cost: USD 242,000/- E. Ship Specific Issues 1 No Major issues F.
