Anthar Offshore

Import and Export policy

INTRODUCTION
Anthar Offshore’s policy is to comply with legislation regarding import and export controls and
(economic and humanitarian) sanctions. The purpose of this Policy is to provide guidelines on
compliance with laws on import and export of goods throughout the world and to help Damen
employees in their everyday business in this regard. This Policy applies, without exception, to Anthar
Offshore, its afilliated companies, its suppliers and their employees worldwide.

Due to the comprehensive nature of import and export laws, you should refrain from any action until
you know which requirements and (if any) sanctions exist and have made sure you comply with
them. Whether or not import or export is allowed, may depend on a number of factors such as the
type of item, its origin and final export destination, as well as its use.

This Policy Overview is not intended to address every situation you may encounter or answer all your
questions on this subject. You are therefore further referred to the Import & Export Controls
Compliance and Sanctions on the website of: Rijksoverheid.nl, which will provide you with more
specific guidelines.

Control and Sanctions

International trade is restricted by import and export control and by international sanctions. Import
control laws bring about specific requirements with regard to the import of goods, such as licenses
and taxes. Export control laws generally prohibit the unlicensed export of certain items for reasons of
national security or protections of trade. In other words, as soon as you intend to import or export a
good it is essential that you check and comply with the import and export control laws enforced by
countries involved, as well as the rules by the United Nations or the European Union. Furthermore,
import and export can be effected by so-called sanctions and embargoes which are put into place in
order to maintain or restore international peace and security. These sanctions and embargoes are
basically political trade restrictions with an objective to change the behavior of a country’s regimes,
individuals or entities and groups, in order to improve the situation in that country. They are mostly
imposed by the UN and the EU but also by individual countries. Frequently enforced sanctions and
embargoes include:

- arms embargoes: prohibiting the export or supply of weapons and ammunition, etc;
- import and export bans on certain goods originating from or heading to particular countries
or certain individuals or organizations;
- financial sanctions which can for instance prohibit the transfer of funds to a certain country.

Both the UN and the EU have lists of certain individuals and organizations/entities to and from whom
export and import can be completely or partly prohibited. Compliance with these laws is essential for
Anthar Offshore in all those countries where it conducts business. Violations of applicable import and
export and sanctions laws may result in reputational and economic impacts, and can lead to
sanctions against Anthar Offshore and individuals and should be avoided at all times.
