THE ORIGIN OF

THE SOCIETY OF MARINE PORT ENGINEERS

NEW YORK, NY, INC.

~first Port Engineers Society was formed at San Francisco, California in ;:-__/ February, 1946 - and in April, 1946 the San Francisco Society contacted

one of our present Honorary Members in New York and suggested a similar organization be formed.

An impromptu meeting of several Port Engineers was held at the Whitehall Club, April 23, 1946, and it was decided to form a Port Engineers Society of New York.

Letters were mailed to all Port Engineers in the New York Area - notifying them of this movement and, if interested, requested they attend a general meeting to be held at 115 Liberty Street, New York on May 15, 1946. Subject meeting was attended by thirty-four local Port Engineers and Acting Officers were elected. The revision of the San Francisco Port Engineers Society's by-laws was discussed and a prominent admiralty lawyer voluteered to obtain a Charter and Corpora­tion Seal - under the title of THE PORT ENGINEERS SOCIETY OF NEW YORK. Difficulty was encountered in obtaining the Charter under title of PORT ENGINEERS SOCIETY OF NEW YORK, however, after several meetings, the New York State authorities accepted our application with the revised title of THE SOCIETY OF MARINE PORT ENGINEERS, NEW YORK, NY, INC. and were granted a CHARTER, DATED SEPTEMBER 25, 1946.

Our first meeting as a legally incorporated society was held at the Downtown Athletic Club, Wednesday evening, Oc­tober 30, 1946. We have on file the Minutes and names of everyone who attended the first impromptu meeting of the Whitehall Club, - also every meeting to date.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

I bid a sincere welcome to all members, guests and friends of The Society of Marine Port Engineers, New York to this our Sixty-Seventh Annual Dinner Dance.

I am also excited to welcome our Honoree this year, The Grand Bahama Shipyard LTD. I look forward to hearing about the development of this enterprise from near obscurity to becoming a major player in the ship repair and conversion industry, particularly in the cruising fleet. It will also be interesting to hear of their plans for future growth and business outlook.

I would like to commend the hard work of our Dinner Dance and Journal Committees for another successful event and extend a special thanks to all our many supporters and boosters for making our Scholarship Loan and Charity efforts possible. Through your continued generosity the Society has been able to donate $20,000 for charitable causes this past year including The Navesink Maritime Heritage Association, the Sea Scouts Ship228, SUNY Maritime Museum and Scholarship Funds, and the South Street Seaport School Ship Lettie G Howard, details of which can be found in this Journal and on our website. We hope to continue this level of charity in the coming year.

Our IT Committee has also been hard at work updating the SMPE.org website and we expect a major improvement in the functionality in the near future. I ask that you check it out when you have a moment.

Best wishes from the Society for a wonderful evening and healthy and prosperous year to come.

Very best regards

Safety * Quality * Reliability * Location

Located 70 miles off the coast of Florida, the name Grand Bahama Shipyard has become synonymous with quality work and respect for deadlines. The exposure and reputation of the company within International Shipping markets as a major repair and conversion shipyard in the Caribbean region furthers our ambition

to be your partner of choice. Grand Bahama Shipyard offers docks, services and assistance with your project conception, execution and after care.

OUR VISION Our Vision is to be the regional partner of choice for ship repair and major conversions for our customers

OUR MISSION We provide customer satisfaction by delivering quality work, on time delivery at the highest safety standards and at a competitive price. "This is a wonderful time to be at the Grand Bahama Shipyard, there is so much going on, we are moving forward with a passion and excitement for what we do. The future is bright and we have a pretty robust order book for the foreseeable future, we're in good shape for 2015 and 2016, already the yard has eighteen cruise vessels confirmed for 2015 and a further twenty five cruise vessels tentatively booked for 2016 and slots secured for 2017, 2018 and even 2019!", says Graham Couser, SVP responsible for sales, marketing and project development at the yard.

He continues, ''With so many yards operating in the ship repair industry, it is no easy feat for companies to differentiate themselves from the competition, however the Grand Bahama Shipyard Ltd. excels as a brand which makes an impact, a statement, an impression on a customer at every point of contact and facilitates all capabilities under one roof offering our clients integrated holistic solutions; Our strength is our scale and ambition

8

to achieve and our Grand Bahama Shipyard Ltd. brand is now a world renowned brand name".

HISTORY The History and development of the Grand Bahama Shipyard Ltd can be traced to the early 1990's when a study into the prospects of developing a facility to service the growing cruise industry in the Caribbean region was performed by the UK based A&P Group. The study was to take account of the increasing volume and potential size of the cruise vessels operating in the region, assessing existing regional yards and their ability to handle potentially larger cruise vessels, whilst accounting for loss of revenue, incurred costs and logistical issues if the cruise vessels had to return to Europe for docking. The study further determined how other marine business could be attracted to offset start- up costs and aid the potential profitability of the yard.

The plan was presented, but not acted on until 1999 when Lloyd Werft the world renowned building and repair yard from Bremerhaven in Germany became involved, they commenced basic repair activity with some success. With this success noted, in 2000 a UK company, Cammell Laird, another yard with an immense history in the maritime world, bought the fledgling yard posting an aggressive investment and development projection plan, unfortunately their plan was never executed as Cammell Laird went into bankruptcy in early 2001. The seeds however had been placed and the potential witnessed, and with the support of serious industry included institutions and the local Port Authority in April 2001 the Grand Bahama Shipyard Ltd was formed.

DEVELOPMENT Development of the facility has been gradual but determined,from the original Lloyd Werft yard set-up consisting of one floating Panama sized dock, two wet berths and a basic machine shop, the yard capacity increased in 2002 with the addition of a lengthened "Handy-max" sized dock purchased from Portland (Oregon). This dock being capable of handling Suez-max vessels increased the capabilities of the yard and can be considered the start of the evolution of the yard as we know it today. To get to Freeport the dock did indeed travel the World, its voyage from Portland, to Freeport encompassed the Globe, across the Pacific, through the South China seas, through the Indian Ocean, a transit of the Suez Canal, through the Mediterranean and .finally across the Atlantic Ocean to Freeport!

The volume of regional and World traffic ,fuelled the continual growth in work load and reputation of the yard, it became evident that, to service this potential, a third dock would be required.An opportunity arose in 2007 to purchase a Suezmax sized dockfrom Le Harve, France, and after a transit across the Atlantic and some modification work to access routes, this dock became a fully functioning asset in 2008 boosting revenues from the low $70m's to the $11 Om range.

9

THE PRESENT In 2009 Reuben K Byrd a native of Virginia joined the company as SVP of Operations, and with no immediate plans to purchase additional docks, but with a brief to continue to grow the yard and revenue opportunity, his focus was on development and evaluation of the infra-structure, berths and efficiency aspects. Within his stewardship he has instilled a sense of awareness to detail and motivation required to take the company to the next level. He is well into his tenure and now serves as Chief Operating Officer of the Grand Bahama Shipyard Ltd. With his ever increasing and widening range of responsibilities including, comprehensive management of all facilities, project planning and operations, engineering, capital projects and yard and workforce development, his fore sight and organizational implementations have and will continue to have a positive impact on the yard.

Fittingly it was just recently announced that Chief Operating Officer of Grand Bahama Shipyard Ltd ("GBS"), Reuben K. Byrd, will assume the responsibilities of Acting President from June 15, 2015 following the retirement of the present Chairman of the Board and CEO Carl-Gustaf Rotkirch, 65, on June 15,2015. The board will elect a new Chairman of the Board in due course.

Mr. Rotkirch joined the Company inAugust2008 and has during his tenure seen the company develop into a world

renowned repair shipyard with a wide a"ay of customers. GBS services more than a hundred vessels yearly of types ranging from cruise ships to container ships, tankers, research vessels, tugs, barges and off shore support vessels as well as drill ships, crane ships and pipe layers.

Since 2008, revenues have strengthened and the facilities have developed from a two dry-dock shipyard into a ship repair, refurbishment and conversion facility with three dry-docks and four to five fully equipped wet berths and workshops together with a selection of partners including Bradford Marine,ABB, Rolls-Royce, Chris-Marine, KE-Marine, MSHS, Wartsila, IMC Metal Fusion, GCS and SPS on site. The shipyard also offers the services of local subcontractors including Quality Services Ltd., Mechanical Engineering, Bahamas Tank Cleaning Co. and Verified Services among others.

Regarding the yard business portfolio, Grand Bahama Shipyard is regarded as the world leading yard/or repairing the largest volume of Cruise vessels (numbering some twenty vessels) on a yearly basis. The Cruise business stream, (or segment) is important to the yard as it accounts for 40-50% of the yearly business. This base provides the opportunity for sound business planning and long term vision, the culture developed at the yard is one where numbers and targets are treated as guidelines and are consistently exceeded. This is achieved by relying on its proven reputation as a company that goes above and beyond to exceed customer expectations, the overriding aim being to complete every project on time and within budget, which in itself can be can be challenging.

10

Besides being a driving force of the local economy Grand Bahama Shipyard giving a great deal of time and talent to support education and other community services, including the arts. See below Grand Bahama Shipyard helps to restore the Iconic Nassau Conch. Toby Smith, while helping his daughter with a project decided to restore sculptures made by Stephen Burrows, including the iconic conch which was created in 1980, and was displayed on the roundabout near the Nassau International Airport. Smith contacted Reuben Byrd, Senior Vice President of Operations GBS to assist in the restoration of the sculpture as the Shipyard had the necessary equipment. "Mr. Byrd agreed to help with just one phone call, and never having met me, his willingness to help moved me deeply," said Smith. Pictured is the conch sculpture before its restoration. (Photo: Toby Smith)

"There is an understanding, a partnership with the cruise lines, together we are more effective and by working cooperatively we readily achieve the common goal, and appreciate how to meet their specific needs. We apply the three "e's" concept; communication, collaboration and co-ordination; and through discussion and by application of this concept we have positioned ourselves to deal with even the most challenging projects by optimizing, improving and staying open to opportunities and listening to and understanding our cruise clients and their business" states Byrd, he continues, ''We meet with the cruise lines on a regular basis and discuss future projects, this open forum influences our facility development planning,/ or example we have numerous revitalization and major refit project stemmed going forward which will range from 24

to 36 days, obviously a long and costly period if the allocated period was on dock. The ref ore we have invested heavily in our "wet berth" facilities, particularly the berth affectionately known as "North Beach" which has been re-structured as a fully serviced berth with adequate cranes capable of safely mooring cruise vessels where projects can be continued and completed after the mandatory underwater works and hull painting have been completed, thereby offering a suitable and cost effective solution. Adjacent to the berth is a large "laydown" area which provides opportunity to fabricate sections which can be partially outfitted prior to lifting onboard and also for storing containers and equipment sequentially for use during the project, the record is in excess of nine hundred for one project! This logistical solution saves on time and cost.

The mentioned berth developments have also been designed to support the yard's commercial business stream which equates for 60% of the business and includes, containerships, conventional product and LPG/LNG tankers, bulk carriers, transport barges, especially and importantly all forms of vessels involved in the offshore market segment. The berth has been dredged to an average depth of 20m with four pits dredged to 25m to facilitate the "in water" removal of thrusters, this innovation removing the need for costly durations on dock. Availing of all the yards facilities during 2015 and beyond is Crowley Maritime Services. One of the largest exclusive ship repair block agreement in Caribbean history, worth over $10 Million, was signed earlier this year between GBSL and Crowley for an extensive maintenance program for twenty three ( 1 oil product tanker, 12 product barges, and 10 tugs) vessels.

FACILITIES Three floating dry docks capable of handling the largest ships in the world over 300m (1000/t) in length

No. I Dock is 2683 meters (880/eet) long with an internal breadth o/33.5 meters (115/eet) and a lift­ing capacity of 27,000 ton. The dock, which is capable of handling panamax vessels, is fitted with two 20 ton cranes and offers a full range of services.

No. 2 Dock is 300 meters (985 feet) long with an internal breadth of 585 meters (192 feet) and a lifting capacity of 82 ,500 ton. The dock, which is capable of handling vessels up to VLCC size, or cruise vessels up to 150,000 ton, is.fitted with two 24 ton cranes and one 32 ton crane and a comprehensive range of services, including a high voltage power supply system.

No. 3 Dock is 310 meters (1017 feet) long with an internal breadth of 54.6 meters (179 feet) and a lifting capacity of 54,000 ton. The dock is fitted with two 40 ton cranes as well as a comprehensive range of back-up services.

Regarding the wet berths, at the entrance to the yard and at the four fully serviced berths the water depth averages 16m (54/t) and the range of mobile cranes ranges from 20 ton to 300 ton making the yard capable of diversifying to accommodate the most complex of projects.

Grand Bahama Shipyard also has a range of workshops and services for specific tasks, including a state-of-the-art steel shop, mechanical shop, pipe shop, electrical shop, rigging store, maintenance shop and warehouse facilities, office space, as well as a number of specialist contractors located in the yard.

17

THE FUTURE GBS is the biggest commercial shipyard on this side of the Americas, and repair more cruise ships than any other yard in the world. However, cruise ships represent only 40% of our overall projects. We are growing rapidly in the areas of LNG, the offshore sector, seismic ships, and general cargo ships, and tankers. As Rueben K. Byrd puts it "we are very proud of our in-house expertise and general culture within our organization of"nothing is impossible", the default reaction being one of "yes, let's find a way to do it!"

18

Grand Bahama Shipyard Limited provides a full range of dry-docking, repair, upgrade and

conversion services for all ship owners. This large ship repair facility is located in Free­

port, Grand Bahama, Bahamas, 80 miles from Miami, Florida.
