M/V CHESHIRE Bulk Carrier Length: 190m Beam: 32m Depth: 13.75m Deadweight: 56,600t Cargo: NPK (Nitrogen Phosphorus Potassium) Fertilizer

Incident: Received a call August 13, 2017 of the M/V CHESHIRE reportedly in the midst of a self sustained decomposition event. Vessel Location: 120 nautical miles South of Grand Canary LOF was Accepted / Signed RESOLVE Immediately Mobilized Personnel & Assets

Day 1 On Site Salvage Team on Site with Support from Grand Canary, Singapore Office, Florida HQ 2 Fifi Tugs Engaged to Provide Cooling Efforts Salvage Team assessing Ability to board vessel and connect tow wire

Understanding the Cargo Cargo Reacts once Temperature Reaches 150 degrees C (Endothermic becomes Exothermic at that temperature) Gasses emitted are toxic and will kill anyone near the gasses without breathing apparatus When combined with water creates Nitric Acid

Need to Board Vessel Large amount of Toxic gas & seas make boarding impossible Helicopter Mobilized to Assist with the boarding effort Vessel is now 120 nm from Airport Evaluating Safety vs. Operation

Tug Connection Made!! Salvage Crew Boarded Vessel in 4 meter swell by using grappling hook and climbing up by hand Helicopter ready to depart and to survey scene and begin to support operations

Now What? Vessel under Tow 180 miles from Nearest land Cargo Hold 1 Reacting Toxic & Very Visible Cloud Authorities will not allow ship within 50 miles of land Spanish Coast Guard Vessel on Site
