Dear Fellow Seafarer,

Welcome to the New Year. I sincerely hope that you and your family had an enjoyable and safe Christmas.

Since our founding three years ago, GO has continued to build our business based on the core values of Integrity, Honesty and Service. From our inception, GO has faced a number of challenges, we have tackled tough problems, delivered new tonnage, chartered new territory and delivered results under enormous global pressure. In the process, we never lost sight of our commitment to exceed expectations, honour our commitments and stand up for our principles. Determination, hard work and the relentless desire to fulfill the company objectives has brought us this far.

In moving forward I trust that you have received the announcement that Otto Marine has taken a position in the GO MARINE GROUP.

The board’s agenda and mandate has always been to act in the best interest of our employees, deliver a service that exceeds expectation and to grow our business to become a global leader in our field. By entering into this agreement with Otto Marine we have the opportunity to deliver on that promise.

I firmly believe that our core values and code of conduct make us different from other companies and will further contribute to our success. Our ethics of Integrity, Honesty and Service are not just the right thing to do but our duty everyday around the world.

In achieving our objectives GO have made progress on many fronts and we know there is still much work to be done. We have a long horizon before us, which will require determination and resolve to ensure our success.

Parallel to growing our operations through the capitalisation by Otto Marine, we are now focusing on deepening our commitment to our employees by embarking on new methodology to improve our service to you. I thank you for your patience in relation to delays in paying your superannuation contributions. All payments are now up to date and new processes implemented internally will ensure that this does not reoccur.

GO will shortly be undertaking an employee survey so that we can fully understand the areas that we need to improve on and what areas of our operations that we are doing well. I urge you to provide your honest feedback so that we can implement what is necessary to achieve our objectives and make working for GO your first choice every time.

Now, more than ever, I hope you unite behind GO as we all embark on this exciting journey of growth together. I thank you for your valuable contributions and efforts to date and I look forward to catching up with you onboard one of our vessels in the coming year.

BY Captain Sutton

THE GO OFFSHORE ( Asia ) is presently consolidating a majority of functions to our Perth head office. As a direct result Peter Macmillian our Operations Manager and Diana our Administrator are no longer with us here in Singapore. They both gave total commitment to GO OFFSHORE and we wish them good fortune in their new found employment.

Despite the depressed Asian boat market ( mainly driven by an oversupply of tonnage )GO OFFSHORE (Asia ) continues to bid their expanded fleet in Asia and further afield in Brazil, India and China.

The Asian Offshore industry is quietly confident of an upturn towards the end of the year and into 2012 and it is hoped that we see an associated increase in the Charter Day Rates. GO OFFSHORE ( Asia ) is now well placed and structured to capitalize on this up turn.

On a lighter note.

GO OFFSHORE’S roots are firmly in Australia and our indigenous

pragmatic “can do” attitude and positive outlook have help build the

Company to where it is today.

COPPER WIRE

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, British scientists found

traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion

that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150

years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Brit's, in the weeks that followed, an American

archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story

published in the New York Times: "American archaeologists, finding

traces of 250‐year‐old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors

already had an advanced high‐tech communications network 50 years

earlier than the British".

One week later, the state’s Dept of Minerals and Energy in Western

Australia , reported the following:

"After digging as deep as 30 feet in Western Australia ’s Pilbara region,

Jack Lucknow, a self‐taught archaeologist, reported that he found

absolutely bugger all. Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago,

Australia had already gone wireless."

World According to Purri - Shark Story

What would you do if a shark attacked you?

Poke it in the eye? Grab its gills? Punch it? Stab it with a

pocket knife? It would be nice to think that like some kind of

sweet super hero you could fend off the pesky fish trying to

take a bite out of your ass.

On a recent kitesurfing session I had the chance to visualise

similar aspirations of bravery and unfortunately did not live up

to any super hero tendencies.

It started out innocently enough; the plan was to do a ‘down

winder’ on my 11m Best Waroo kite and 138 cm Litewave

twin tip board from Golden Bay to Long Point – about a 10 km

stint with plenty of mushy waves to play in along the way. My

nice wife agreed to drop me off at Golden Bay beach at 8am

and was going to meet me at Long Point around 10am with

the car to pack up the kite gear.

Once setting up the kite and lines I headed out directly to sea

cruising along the swell and hitting little jumps along the way.

It was an absolute blast! When I realised I was approximately

2km off the shore I decided it was time to head back and

travel along closer to the beach break.

That’s about the time I looked over my shoulder and saw a

massive shadow gliding behind me. I freaked. Still a novice to

kitesurfing I didn’t know how to turn around without falling in

the water first. As I crashed clumsily in the water – my kite

also stacked and the lines tangled. What happened next made

my guts drop and I felt like I would vomit. The ‘shadow’ now

taking on the shape of a 3 meter shark was cruising about 5

feet underwater directly towards me. My scaly mate made its

way under my crashed kite then straight between my legs and

under me.

“This is it… you are going to be one of the dickheads you read

about in the paper that was too far offshore by himself and got

chomped by a shark”

I couldn’t fathom punching on with the lurking nightmare beneath me –

instead I froze and tried not to look like a seal or anything worth having

a taste of. If sharks can smell fear – I would have reeked of it. Eventually

after about 5 hours (okay probably

more like 5 minutes) my kite sorted

itself out and I was able to do a

water launch. With shaky legs I

made my way back to shore and

decided to finish the down winder in

a water depth of about 8 cm – right

on the beach shoreline.

So no superhero antics surrounded

me that day unless you count

thinking everything is awesome after

what I am convinced could very well

have been my last day. I had

superhero taste buds as I enjoyed

coffee, was the world’s best kisser as

I snogged my wife, and felt

heightened senses of smell, taste,

touch, sight and sound.

Bring on the fish n chips – flake

thanks!

“If sharks

can smell

GO AMPLITUDE

The ‘PMOF’ Project vessels have spent much of their time in Dampier during mobilization of the plant & equipment to Barrow Island with delay due to the increased threat of cyclones this year which have hampered efforts.

Australian Flood Disasters:

I would to take this opportunity to personally thank each individual for their generosity in regards to supporting the Carnarvon & Queensland Flood Relief Appeal. GO INSHORE Administration; Fleet Managers & Vessel Crew contributed with personal donations to the appeal and with that positive responses GO INSHORE has matched every dollar for dollar raised. This in turn will add to the contribution from GO OFFSHORE before the funds are distributed. A big thank you and a pat on the back to everyone involved!

When I moved back to their offshore vessels, I found I didn’t like

being Chief Mate anymore, and didn’t know what to do. But then

out of the blue, I was offered a job on a 1981 built vessel with a

small company as Master, and after a false start for joining, went to

Dubai to pick it up. Needless to say, OMS were not impressed…

After 2 weeks working in and out of the port of Jebel Ali, we sailed

to Singapore, where we partially refitted, then another crew sailed

to New Zealand (via PNG to avoid AMSA Port State Inspection!)

where we completed a massive accommodation refurbishment in 6

days! That led on to the installation and support of a platform in

the Cook Strait. Once that job was completed, there was no work

for the ship so I was on the beach.

GO had rung me previously about a job (they must have been des‐

perate!), so I rung back and here we are now. The vessels I’ve

worked on for GO OFFSHORE are as follows: Jul Sofus K, Toisa

Serenade and Toisa Solitaire, GO ACAMAR, Toisa Dauntless and

UOS Discovery.

I gave Rod a bit of a scare last year when I applied for a spot with

Newcastle Pilots, but I missed out before he could give me a

reference to ensure I stayed at GO!

Some of the jobs I’ve been involved in are as follows: A drilling

project for Woodside, the Pluto Pipelaying Project, some

Deepwater Pre‐Laid anchors for the Jack Bates, and the Victorian

Desalination Project. Hopefully I will continue to get the same

variety of jobs I’ve been involved in.

Working for GO has been interesting to say the least with plenty of

variety and the company experiencing massive growth since my

start with them. There have been some huge changes, and I am

enjoying where I am within the company at the moment.

How do you follow John Saxty? I can

write funny stories all day about things I

have seen, but not too many would be

fit to print, so I’ll just give you a quick

run down of a few things I’ve done so

Rod will be satisfied…(Ha! Good Luck!!!

The other Masters will know what I

mean…)

I finished school and completed an

apprenticeship as a shipwright, and then after a bit of to‐ing and

fro‐ing around Sydney Harbour got away to sea as a TIR in 1993. I

was one of the last two industry sponsored IR’s to study for the 2nd

Mates Certificate (the other one works for GO OFFSHORE as well),

and I subsequently sailed with a few companies around the coast,

most notably with E&A on their Container ships as 3rd and 2nd Mate

trading from Australia and New Zealand to Japan, Korea, Taiwan

and Hong Kong. Once I completed my Chief Mates Certificate, I

found myself working for the company that is now Farstad. I fluked

it for a Chief Mates job at Christmas 2001 and then mostly worked

on the Lady Audrey (Lady Ordinary) and the Lady Gerda, among

quite a few others. The Christmas period is a great time to get a

promotion when you don’t have kids, as a lot of people take their

phones off the hook for a month or so.

Then I went to work for (dare I mention their name?) OMS. I did a

few things there, but the job that stands out the most is the

Leonardo da Vinci. I was Australian Master there and spent most of

my time in heated negotiations with the Aussie crew about the

expat crew and their respective attitudes towards each other. We

had the Expat crew, Aussie crew, Expat Management and Aussie

Management, and it seemed to me they all had independent

agendas. At the time I was Aussie Master #7 from 7 swings, and up

until the time of my leaving, the only one to complete more than 2

swings (I did 4).

Believe it not, majority of puppies in a pet shops are from puppy factories. These large scale, commercial businesses, hold these animals in confined and unsanitary conditions and are expected to breed litter after litter for the rest of their lives. Dogs in puppy factories are treated as production animals as to maximise productivity and profit, not your best friend that their offspring will provide to you later. They are often permanently confined in very small, barren cages that do not provide sufficient space for the animal to move let alone exercise.

They are expected to defecate and urinate in the same small, space where they give birth. These adult dogs are not socialized, exercised, bathed, and are given no veterinary precaution medication such as flea and heartworm prevention. Many young puppies do not survive the horrific conditions of their birth home, not to mention the dodgy transportation in the back of trucks from one place to another. Puppies that are sold to consumers generally suffer on‐going health problems and owners suffer the ongoing vet bills.

The fact of the matter is, pet shops and the factory famers cut corners at every step of the way to maximise their profits, as a result, the animals and consumers suffer.

PUT PUPPY FACTORIES OUT OF BUSINESS There are many things you can do to help cease this production of puppies in dreadful circumstances:

1. Ask before you buy from a pet shop

If you do chose to purchase from a pet shop, ensure you ask the pet store owner for photos of their mother and father and also ask for address of the owners. If these puppies are not from a puppy factory, pet stores should be able to produce the above and give you the opportunity to visit their original home.

2. Make adoption your first option

There are many organizations across Australia dedicated to looking after homeless pets and ensuring they are given a second and sometimes third chance in life. By adopting a pet from a rescue group or shelter, you are not only saving a life, but you are also helping pledge your support against puppy factories.

HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW?

It’s the day you have made the big decision to buy a furry four legged companion! You have thought long and hard about the welcomed life change you are about to have. You hop in your car on a journey to the closest pet shop; still undecided about the type of dog you want to get so you check out the walkers and runners with a dog on their lead and picture yourself with that dog. Finally you are at the shops, excited to see what prizes are in the store. In stock are only one type of breed and you take a peek in their glass cages. Inside are 6 very cute, very small, Jack Russell Terriers on sale, so you ask the pet shop employee if you can meet them out of the cage, the em‐ployee agrees as she can see how serious and interested you are. Immediately you are in love with the female. She becomes the one and only dog of your dreams. Realising you are ready, and knowing this little girl will fit in so well with you and your home, you make the decision to purchase……….

STOP! Have you ever thought where these puppies are from? Who their mother and father are and where they spend their days? Have you ever heard of puppy factories?

The desire for breeds, such as the one spoken about in the story, is on an increase. It may be hard to resist the urge to buy these puppies from a pet shop but I will take you for a closer look into how these stores actually obtain animals and why the high price that consumers pay for “that doggie in the window” does not justify the cost paid by animals who are sold in pet shops or forced to produce them.

exposing the northern and southern latitudes to more and less solar radiation. This wobble in the Earth’s rotation has been causing changes in the temperature of the atmosphere for many millions of years. Now onto us…Man The most prominent cause being man‐made pollution. A large part of this pollution can be attributed to the burning of fossil fuels. This includes burning coal to produce electricity as well as burning gasoline when driving your car, which lets out carbon dioxide (greenhouse gas which traps heat within the atmosphere of the Earth and contributes to global warming). Deforestation/Mining – when forests and grasslands are cut down & turned into farmland and cities carbon dioxide is released. All living plants store carbon so when these are cut down enormous amounts of stored carbon enter the atmosphere. Population – it’s not rocket science, more population means more food, electricity and transport resulting in more fossil fuels being consumed and you guessed it end result: global warming!! Even breathing results in a tiny amount of carbon dioxide being released! Little known fact: if you grow a beard it will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide you breathe! So where do you stand?? Unfortunately most of us don’t have control over the Wild, however we can look at those areas that are within our control & do our best to help reduce emissions. Look at alternative sources of energy – Natural Gas, Nuclear Power, Solar . Grow a beard (possible for men, sorry ladies)... Become a vegetarian (not Likely!) Ditching your car and riding your bike or catching public transport? (Well I’m doing this already).... Whatever you viewpoint on global warming there is one thing for certain this issue is MASSIVE and we owe it to ourselves & the planet to find out more.....

GLOBAL WARMING! Scare campaign or reality?

Whatever your viewpoint it’s without doubt one of the hottest topics being debated across the globe at the present time & it’s only going to get bigger. ...SO where do we all stand in the hotly debated subject of global warming?? Governor Schwarzenegger spoke about the dangers of global warming. Schwarzenegger’s exact words were: fire, hot, bad.” – Conan O’Brien “President Bush said global warming is happening much quicker than he thought, and then his staff pulled him aside and said ‘It’s just springtime.’” –Jay Leno Jokes aside this is a serious issue & we all need to get a better understanding on what exactly this buzz word ‘global warming’ is all about. What is global warming? Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near‐surface air and oceans since the mid‐20th century and its projected continuation (thanks Wikipedia!)...or in other words it’s the increase in the average temperature of the Earth. Now onto the million dollar question – What are the causes of global warming? The 2 main culprits – Man Vs Wild (Apologies to the great Bear Grylls). Scientists all over the world do agree that global warming is hap‐pening, however the difficulty arises in determining if the main factors behind global warming are man‐made (anthropogenic – that’s a mouthful) or natural. Natural causes of global warming do exist, but they have always been there things like... Volcanic Eruptions ‐ Large volcanic eruptions can throw so much dust into the sky that the dust acts as a shield to solar radiation and causes a cooling trend in the atmosphere. Sunspots ‐ Changes in the Earth’s solar radiation levels can have some impact on the Earth’s climate. Increased solar activity can cause short‐term warming cycles on the Earth.

No doubt lately when visiting our new office in South Perth you would come across many unfamiliar faces, or for those of you who have regular contact by phone you may not recognise some of the voices you hear on the other end of that hand piece. To assist you with getting to know who’s who in the head office, I would like to formally introduce each and every new employee who has started with GO MARINE GROUP in the last four months.

GO INSHORE have recruited three new full‐time employees to assist in INSHORE’s busy daily operations ‐ Project Manager Andrew Trotter, Fleet Engineer Jason Wortley and Fleet Administrator Matt Wardle.

HSEQ welcomes two additional members to their team, Chad Morris, Safety Training Coordinator and Rosanne Gresser, Quality Administrator. Unfortunately, the team loses a valuable member, Tanya Karimi, who has been with the Company since February 2010 as HSE Coordinator.

Shared Services also has two new team members, junior staff member Ashleigh Bonetti and contracts extraordinaire Mehran Barooni.

The accounts department is also growing with Georgia Homer joining the team as Accounts Assistant, along with Gavin Anderson assisting Dave Fallon in payroll and Reg Armstrong signing on as GO’s Chief Financial Officer. Group Accountant Ailsa Osborne left GO MARINE GROUP and in her place we have recruited Joe Rokov to tackle this demanding role.

Amy Kirk joins the hard working Crewing department as their new assistant and is also taking the role of looking after the Cecile K. Azimah Yusof, originally from the GO OFFSHORE (Asia) office in Singapore joined the team last month to look after our Asian and European crew working on our fleet whilst they are in international waters.

Within the Operations department we welcome David Oldnall who previously worked offshore with GO but with a sea change is now situated in the Perth Office as Technical Superintendent. GO also welcomes to

Operations Norm Crookston, contracted as Logistics Coordinator. Further appointments within Purchasing are Megan McIntosh who has joined the team as Junior Purchasing Assistant and Lucille Fanio as Purchasing Manager.

Early this year we said goodbye to Finlay Funston, one of our dedicated Crewing Officers and sadly Mark Smith our very experienced Technical Manager has tendered his resignation and will be leaving the group at the end of the financial year. Mark has been with the Company since its incep‐tion in November 2007 and his wealth of knowledge and contribution to the company will be hard to replace. The Technical Superintendent role is yet to be filled and if any of our field staff would like to submit an expression of interest then please contact Charles Milne.

To all our new employees we welcome you, to those that are departing we wish you the very best and from the Management at GO and all the staff, thank you for your contributions that have assisted GO to grow this far.

Crew queries should be directed to the following Crewing Officers:

To assist you with getting to know who’s
