United States Coast Guard Marine Safety, Security, and Stewardship Port State Control 9,260 individual vessels, from 92 different Flag Administrations, made 81,712 U.S. port calls – U.S. ports saw vessel arrivals increase by approximately 8% Goal: eliminate substandard shipping – Performance based targeting system: U.S. Port State Control Matrix targets – Flag, Recognized Org, Class Society, & Ship Mgmt/Charterers. Challenge: – Ships larger/ more complex – Consequences of failure greater – Effects of Economic downturn? Change in trading patterns?

United States Coast Guard Marine Safety, Security, and Stewardship Detentions Other Options: – Denial of Entry/Suspend Cargo Ops/Expel from port – New Vessel Banning Policy- minimum of 3 months Typical reasons: – Firefighting – Marine Pollution (including environmental crimes) – Propulsion & Machinery – ISM Code Relatively low detention ratio: 1.87%

United States Coast Guard Marine Safety, Security, and Stewardship Vessel Banning Policy USCG Banning Policy is set forth in CG-543 Policy Letter, dated September 1, 2010 Outlines procedures for denying entry of identified (banned) foreign vessels from a Port or place in the U.S. Intended to deter substandard vessels and companies from changing shipping routes or Flag Administrations to avoid the PSC program Based upon compliance of vessel with the ISM Code 8

United States Coast Guard Marine Safety, Security, and Stewardship Overview of Banning Procedures 1.3 detentions in a 12 month period – vessel will be reviewed closely by U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters to determine if vessel meets criteria 2.Clearly documented cases of ISM Code non-compliance indicating a failure of the Safety Management System is a key factor in U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters’ determination 3.If banned, U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters issues Letter of Denial w/conditions to the Owner/Operator, Flag Administration and Coast Guard units. Vessel is banned for a minimum of 3 months – regardless if conditions for removal of ban are satisfied earlier then the 3 month timeline. 4.Banning remains in effect until removed by U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, regardless of status of vessel (change of Flag, RO or operating status) 5.If vessel takes corrective actions, U.S. Coast Guard issues Letter of Acceptance; Immediately upon return to U.S. waters, an offshore PSC exam is required. 6.If found non-compliant again, the Coast Guard will review the detention and may issue another Letter of Denial; vessel would be banned for no less than 12 months 7.Vessels “Banned” may still transit US waters due to Force Majeure or Innocent Passage 9
