Thereafter Masters must report their position, course and speed at 0800 and2000 hrs lt every day for the period they are sailing in Chilean waters. If ships are calling at a Chilean port then the ETA at the port must also be included in these reports.

1.2 Use of Flag

During daylight hours, whilst navigating in Chilean National waters, merchant ships shall have their national flag hoisted. When approaching a warship, lighthouse or watching post, ships must also hoist the Chilean flag at the foremast.

Foreign and National flag ships in any Chilean port shall have their correspondingInternational Call Sign in a halyard at the foremast with the Chilean flag above it.

Failure to comply with these regulations will incur fines from the authorities.

1.3 Pollution

It is expressly forbidden to throw overboard any ballast, rubbish or waste, or to spillpetroleum or any derivative or residue, contaminated waters from mineral processingplants, or any dangerous or noxious substance of any kind whatsoever, either inChilean waters or, without prior authorisation from the Port Captain. Standing Regulations stipulate that no tanker may dump hydrocarbons or derivativeswithin fifty (50) miles from the coast. In accordance with International Regulationsships navigating in Chilean waters must have the required insurance policy againstrisk of marine pollution. In the event of any pollution, and without prejudice to anyresponsibility which may be imposed locally, the rules for civil responsibility formarine pollution, as established by International Regulations, will be applied.

1.4 Light Dues

The tariff is fixed at a rate in US Dollars per GRT of the ship. Foreign flag ships can pay in one of 6 ways:

A) On an Annual BasisThis is valid for any number of calls at Chilean Ports between January 1st and December 31st.

B) For one Voyage OnlyValid from entry in Chilean waters until departure from same.

C) Magellan Strait Crossing This option is only for ships not calling at any Chilean port and when

making an ocean to ocean passage.

D) Ships Calling at one Chilean Port to load full bulk cargo and immediately sail into international waters.

E) Ships Calling at one Chilean Port for Drydock repairs.

F) Ships Calling for Bunkers, provisions or fresh water only.

Kindly consult our Operation´s Dept. for tariffs applicable.

1.5 Garbage

It is expressly forbidden by the Chilean Agriculture Regulations to disembarkgarbage at any Chilean port.

5


1.6 Ballast Water

On arrival at a Chilean port, the master shall deliver to the Maritime Authority

a "Ballast Water Report".

All vessels proceeding from abroad with sea water in their tanks and intending

to unballast at a Chilean port, must renew all ballast water at least once within

12 miles from shore.

In case that the vessel has not changed ballast water or cannot prove that

indeed she changed same or the maritime authority detects some abnormalities

in the characteristics of the water, she will be ordered to shift and renew ballast

12 miles offshore.

1.7 Miscellaneous

A) All ships must be in possession of up to date nautical charts.

B) All ships must be in possession of their respective P&I entry certificate

in force.

C) All ships must be fully compliant with the ISPS Code in force as from

2.0 Magellan Strait and Southern Channels Pilotage

A )

B )

By taking advantage of the geography and entering the channels, vessels can avoidthe worst of the weather and treacherous waters, thus increasing safety, protectingcargo, saving time and, therefore, costs. However, pilotage is compulsory for all Foreignand National flag ships navigating inland waterways and channels south of PuertoMontt, and in the Magellan Strait. An application for pilotage must be made via aChilean ship agent´s office.

There are two main pilotage options:

The "Ocean to Ocean" option is only available to ships that are not calling at aChilean Port. A local pilot from Punta Arenas boards at Posesion Bay for Westboundships and disembarks at Punta Arenas, or vice versa for Eastbound ships. The Mastermust sail without pilots from/to Cape Pilar (52°43'South-74°40'West). The disadvantageof this option is that the Master does not have the alternative to continue through thePatagonian Channels up to Golfo de Penas when weather conditions outside theChannels are severe. Applications for pilots must be received by the agents at leasttwo working days in advance.

Full Pilotage is compulsory for all ships calling at any Chilean port except PuntaArenas. Two pilots are embarked at Posesion Bay and disembarked at Ancud orLaitec pilot station or at the first port of call if it is Valpararíso, or a port south ofValparaíso.The pilots are also embarked alternatively at Ancud or Laitec, and they disembarkat Posesion Bay. This allows ships to sail via inland waters avoiding bad weather.Applications for pilots must be received by the Agent at least three working daysin advance. The track of pilotage is previously established by a contract between thepilots' office and the agent. The agent must be kept informed of any delay to the ship'sETA at port of embarkation as otherwise surcharges will be appleid

Notes:1.- The pilots are all highly qualified and experienced retired Chilean Navy or

Merchant Marine senior officers. Therefore, they should be treated as such andgiven suitable single cabins that are fully equipped and clean.

2.- The pilotage can only be cancelled or changed in the 24 hours after the pilotshave been nominated.

7


3.- After the pilots have been nominated, the agent has 24 hours in which to cancelor amend the contract. After this time has elapsed, the informed ETA is fixed. A 12 hour leeway is allowed for the initiation of the pilotage, once the pilot hasarrived at the embarkation port.After this period id exceeded, a per hour surcharge is applied on all time delayeduntil the pilotage is commenced.

4.- The track of pilotage is previously established by a contract between the pilots'office and the Agent.

5.- The complete pilotage is considered to take five days starting from the hour of the pilots embarkation. Should the vessel take more than five days, an extraper hour charge will be levied on all time in excess.

6.- If a small vessel, such as a fishing vessel, cannot provide two cabins, or if thepilots´ Authority cannot provide two pilots, the Authority will nominate just onepilot.

For information only, we have included the experiences of one captain transiting theMagellan Straits in Section 10.

3.0 Port Regulations

3.1 Working Hours

The ports work on a 3 shift basis as follows:

1st Shift 0800-1530

2nd Shift 1530-2300

3rd Shift 2300-0630

3.2 Safety Regulations

During a port call, as stipulated by the Port Authorities, ships must comply with the following safety measures:

A) The use of: Rat GuardsSafety NetsGangway Railings

B) If any repairs are required the Agent should be advised as only authorised contractors are permitted to enter the port / terminal.

C) IMO Rules are in force and must be adhered to.

D) ISPS Code is in force and must be adhered to.

Fines are levied against the ship if the above are not complied with.

3.3 Visitors

In order to allow visitors, or other personnel not related to the port operations,on board, they will require written authority from the Master and the Agents.

3.4 Ships Stores, Bunkers etc.

Due to the Central Bank foreign exchange regulations all payments to ship chandlers, laundry and/or other suppliers of whatever nature, must be madevia the registered ship agent. This allows the Agent to comply with the requiredreporting to the Central Bank. Ships' Masters are able to negotiate and placeorders with the various suppliers if they wish.

9


3.5 Watchman

A gangway watchman is compulsory at all times. This must be arranged by theAgent.

3.6 Repairs/Painting

If repairs or hull painting are required permission has to be requested from thePort Captain via the Agent.

10


4.0 Documents Required by the Port Authorities

4.1 All declarations are to be made on ship's standard forms or blank paper duly signed and stamped by the master.

4.2 Manifests covering all cargo in transit to other non Chilean ports are to be presented at the first port of call only.

4.3 On the arrival at the first port of call authorities will require copies of, or to check, the documents listed below:

Maritime Health: Copy -Maritime Health Declaration-Crew List and Store List-Voyage Itinerary-Last port clerance

Check -De-Rat Certificate

4.4 At subsequent Chilean ports of call health authorities will board to check the validity of the De-Rat Certificate and Passenger Lists and Passports. The Clearance Certificate from the previous port must be presented at these ports.

4.5 When a vessel calls at a port only to embark or disembark Magellan Straits pilots, no regular formalities/documentation are necessary; such a call is known as "recalada forzosa" RF. The agent will provide a launch to transport the pilots to the vessel at the pilot station. Under RF status no other person is allowed to embark/disembark and no cargo or provision loaded/unloaded.

Failure to comply can lead to RF status being withdrawn and full regular clearance enforced.

12


5.0 Use of Tugs and Harbour Pilots in Chilean Waters

5.1 The use of tugs must be considered compulsory at all Chilean Ports; onlypilots may waive this regulation. As a general rule one tug will be employedfor berthing and unberthing ships with a minimum LOA of 140 metres, andtwo or more tugs will be used for ships over 140 metres. This may be modifiedand additional tugs employed depending on prevailing weather conditions, theships particulars and the manouevring area. The Maritime Authority, representedby the pilot on board, will determinate the number of tugs required for eachmanouevre.

5.2 Chilean Navigation Law stipulates that all foreign flag ships must use a pilotwhen entering or leaving harbour. The pilots act as advisers/counsellors to theMaster during manoeuvres. In accordance with Chilean Pilotage Rules andRegulations, the technical assistance of the pilot to the Master commencesupon boarding the ship when entering or leaving harbour and terminates oncethe pilot disembarks after completing the corresponding manoeuvre.

13

8.19 Cabo Negro (Laredo Jetty) (52° 57' 20" S - 70° 49' 03" W)

Jetty is privately owned by Enap (Empresa Nacional del Petróleo) who uses it for skid operations onto their flat barges.

Enap owns 3 barges (76.20 x 22.86 x 4.88 mtrs. depth) of which two are flat barges with skid-rails mounted on deck and 1 crane barge with 400 mts lifting capacity.

The Jetty front is 24 mts. long and 120 mts. in total length and the skid rails are 14 mtrs apart from each other and 90 cm high.

The problem is that receiving trailers can only be positioned in transverse direction to the vessel.

Depth in front of the Jetty is 6.60 and vessels must keep center of the jetty atthe midships.

Facilities for mooring ropes are sufficient, springs can be placed on jetty and adjacent pillars with bollards, on shore, about 200 mtrs. distance from the vessel, there are bollards for vessel’s head and stern ropes.

Jetty is sheltered from winds blowing from the westerly sector NNW to SSW, and in case of earsterly gales, it could be necessary for the vessel to leave the jetty thus it us recommendable to drop anchor about 150 mtrs. from the jetty when approaching same on arrival, in order to pull her away from same.

Maximum permissible Drafts : upto 70 mtrs. LOA 6 mtrs.between 70 and 100 mtrs. LOA 5.6 mtrs.between 100 and 130 mtrs. LOA 4.0 mtrs.

10.0 Transiting the Magellan Straits - A Master's Report 2010

General Information

When Sailing through the straits the Master should always be on the bridge even if there is a pilot on board. Watches must be maintained on automaticships.

The following notes are taken from one master´s report. For more detailed information you must refer to the Guide to Port Entry.

Approach from The Atlantic

1. When approaching Magellan the ships particulars should be given to Cabo Virgenes Control. When abeam Cabo Virgenes and at a distance of 10NM,and when abeam Punta Dungenes, the ship's particulars should be given toPunta Dungenes Control via VHF CH16. There is the possibility that theArgentine Navy will also request ships particulars on the same frequency.

2. In good weather the Posesion Bay pilot will board after the ship has passed between the two Racon M + T. In adverse conditions the pilot will request thatthe ship pass close to Punta Delgada. Note: Caution is required due to strongcurrents in the channel of Primera Angostura.

3. From Punta Arenas to Cabo Gallant ships must sail closer to the coast onthe starboard side to give space to ships approaching in the opposite direction.The same rule applies whilst sailing in channel Paso Inglés to Cohorn LTpoint. Due to strong currents extreme caution is required when changingcourse to pass Paso Tortuoso. At the turning point there are strong currentsfrom Channel (canal) Jerónimo which may drift the ship towards Isla CarlosIII. After passing Cabo Crosstide and buoy R. Anson the currents changedirection and head from Canal David pushing the ship to the starboard sideof Paso Tortuoso to Cabo Quod point.

4. When abeam Cabo Gallant, and when sailing through Paso Inglés, it is wisefor the Master to broadcast, to all ships in the area on VHF CH16, the nameand DWT of this ship, and ETA passing the Cap Crosstide passage and R.Anson buoy.

5. From Cabo Quod point until leaving the Strait the ship can sail mid channel between Canales Paso Largo an Paso Del Mar. When abeam Punta Felixthe ship's particulars and destination must be given on VHF CH16 to PuntaFelix Control and Grupo Evangelista Control.

6. When sailing through the Strait, due to the very deep water, there are no safeanchorages for ships of 150LOA. In an emergency there is a suitable placecalled Bahía Borsta between Punta Jerónimo and Cabo Quod. There is alsothe anchorage point Bahía Swallow between Isla Spider and Isla Carteret.

Approach from the Pacific

A) When abeam Grupo Evangelist and Punta Felix the ship's particulars and destination must be given to the respective Controls on VHF CH16.

B) When passing the Canales to Cabo Quod point a mid-channel course is advisable. At Cabo Hunter the ETA at Paso Tortuoso must be given on VHFCH16. Extreme caution is required because of strong currents at Canal Davidand Canal Jerónimo.

C) The pilot boards the ship at Punta Arenas and, in good weather, disembarksat Banco Orange Beacon; in adverse conditions the pilot disembarks at PuntaDelgada. Note: there are strong currents at both locations.

D) When abeam Punta Dungenes and Cabo Vírgenes the ship's particularsmust be given to the respective Controls on VHF CH16.

E) Ships with large draughts should approach Banco Sarmiento, in the entranceto the Strait, with caution; in adverse weather conditions it is safer to sail to thesouth of it.
