ANNEX E GENERAL MATTERS

1 OWNERS' MANAGEMENT REPORTS TO CHARTERERS

In addition to providing the CHARTERERS with exposure hours worked and general safety statistics as
detailed elsewhere in the document, the OWNERS shall be required to submit to the CHARTERERS
monthly reports detailing general performance of the CHARTER PARTY. This report shall include, but
not be limited to the OWNERS consumption of fuel and other consumables provided by the
CHARTERERS. In addition the OWNERS are required to report usage/losses of all CFC's on board the
VESSEL on a monthly basis.

Notwithstanding the above, the OWNERS may be required to submit quarterly and annual reports
detailing the OWNERS' performance of the Contract.

2 CONSUMABLES

In the event that the CHARTERERS request to carry out specific tasks outside the normal duties of the
VESSEL, then consumables such as gases, welding electrodes and other related consumables used by
the OWNERS and/or the CHARTERERS for the performance of these tasks shall be provided free of
charge by the CHARTERERS. In the event that the CHARTERERS require the OWNERS to supply
such material, then the OWNERS shall be reimbursed for the material by the CHARTERERS in
accordance with normal reimbursement arrangements for purchase plus handling commission which
shall not be more than 10% of the cost of such material.

3 MAINTENANCE PHILOSOPHY

3.1 The philosophy is one of preventive maintenance with the aim of eliminating all breakdowns. As such
the OWNERS will be expected to demonstrate he operates a maintenance management system on his
Vessels, and details of his system must be submitted to the CHARTERERS.

The OWNERS are expected to operate a maintenance schedule for all items of ships equipment with
particular emphasis but not limited to the main engines, generators, winches, pumps, safety equipment,
Classification surveys etc. The schedule for each item should as a minimum incorporate the
recommendations of the manufacturers of the individual items of equipment, and compiled in such a
way that the work load is spread as evenly as practical over the year.

A record of all maintenance works should be kept which is comprehensive enough to show not just
compliance with the schedule, to include details of exactly what was done by way of inspection and
tests, what defects were found, and what parts were replaced. On a monthly basis the OWNERS must
report to the CHARTERERS whether or not the maintenance is up to date according to the schedule,
and where slippage has occurred then a plan for rectification must be given.

Whilst it is expected that the OWNERS would generate and maintain a full report of maintenance carried
out on a monthly basis, it is only compliance with the schedule which needs to be reported to the
CHARTERERS, however when the CHARTERERS representative boards the VESSEL then they may
ask for the detailed record that is being kept on board and check for compliance. Failure of the OWNERS
to maintain their VESSEL such that a breakdown occurs which can be directly linked to a lack of proper
care according to the specified schedule shall constitute a fundamental breach of the terms of this
contract, and may result in the termination of the CHARTER PARTYat no cost to the CHARTERERS.

3.2 The OWNERS shall maintain in Brunei Darussalam an adequate stock of spare parts throughout the
period of the CHARTER PARTYwhich shall be replenished as soon as practicable whenever stock is
used, removed from stock for whatever reason, out of service date or has otherwise become unusable
due to age or any other reason. Where for any reason spare parts required for VESSEL performance
are unavailable or delayed reference should be made to Clause 11 Part 2 of the CHARTER PARTY.

3.3 DOCUMENTS TO BE PROVIDED TO CHARTERERS

photo copies of the following certified original documents representing the state of the VESSEL.

 ANNEX E GENERAL MATTERS

certificates) and provide copies of all certificates and other documents relating to the Classification,
Statutory requirements and Registration of the VESSEL at the time that the VESSEL is taken on-hire. If
any certificate or document is not available, then unless there is a valid reason acceptable to the
CHARTERERS, the VESSEL will not be taken on-hire.

3.3.3 All certificates and documents relating to Classification shall be free of conditions imposed by class. If
any certificates or documents are provided which show that conditions have been imposed, then the
VESSEL will not be taken on-hire until such time that the conditions are removed from the certificates
or documents.

4 CREW REQUIREMENTS

4.1 The minimum qualification and experience standards for all crewmembers shall be those set by the
Marine Department of the Government of Negara Brunei Darussalam. In addition, all crewmembers
must comply with the standards and specified in the document issued by the International Maritime

most watchkeeping duties this does not apply to some aspects. On that basis renewal of STCW

at sea, and blanket revalidation based on sea service alone is not acceptable.

together with a full C.V. are to be submitted to the CHARTERERS for approval. Masters and officers will

periods of a minimum of 4 hours each, during any 24-hour period. The CHARTERERS may request the
OWNERS to provide additional personnel at no cost to the CHARTERERS if operations for which the

manner consistent with the nature of the operations being performed or in contravention of good marine
practice.

medical practitioners acceptable to CHARTERERS and prior to their arrival in Brunei Darussalam,
certifying that they are medically fit to be a seafarer and live and work in Brunei Darussalam.

4.11 All crewmembers must attend the BLNG / BSP HSSE induction. and must hold a valid offshore pass
issued by BSP (Applicable only if on BSP duty). Validity of offshore passes will be determined in
accordance with the validity of the crew member's STCW certificates, as specified in this document.
When applying for a pass, photocopies of the person’s qualification must be provided to allow checks to
be made for compliance with the standards specified in the contract. As soon as clearance is obtained
and the man enters Brunei prior to joining the VESSEL, the original documents must be produced, and
assuming all is satisfactory, a pass will be issued.

establishment will be a mandatory requirement for travel offshore on BSP helicopters. Personnel
travelling on an Offshore Visitor Pass will however be limited exempted from this requirement.
