Welcome one and all to the GO Marine Group fourth edition of our Company Newsletter.

I have had the pleasure sailing with some of you, and some of you I know by reputation. For those I don’t know personally, or who have just recently joined GO, welcome. It is a pleasure to have you onboard.

GO is now entering its fourth year of operation, and what a rollercoaster ride it has been. Familiar faces have come and gone, there have been many new and exciting developments for the Company and there are many more on the horizon as we strive to become one of the major Australian shipping companies in the region.

The future of GO is very strong and we are well on our way to building new, high quality tonnage for the local market and internation‐ally. As many of you are now aware, GO has taken on a partner, Otto Marine in Singapore. Otto is arguably building some of the best tonnage in the region with MT & VS design Anchor Handlers and PSV’s and our union is providing a strong platform for us to reach our end goal.

GO has commenced building two new 78m 12000 BHP AHTS vessels for delivery first quarter next year, with future plans to build an‐other 15 vessels ranging up to 18000 BHP and large 5000 DWT PSV’s over the next two years. As with any new ship build, it is extremely important the Shipowner and Operator be in attendance during the new build construction of the vessel. GO will have a technical team in place in the yard for the new build program. Some of you may get the opportunity to get involved with these new builds as our exten‐sive build program ramps up over the next 24 months.

GO has developed a very strong market position during a fairly flat period over the last four years. We have kept vessels in the region wherever possible, in the attempt to keep our crews employed and maintain continuity of the vessel management. Commercially, this has, at times, been a challenge. We acknowledge that you have also endured some challenges, especially with the first three months of any new vessel coming into management. Integrating these new builds into the fleet requires the skill of both our Australian and inter‐national seafarers, to ensure the job is a success and, above all else, completed safely.

To this end I congratulate you all ,as GO has 15 offshore vessels and 14 inshore vessels under our management. Our future is to own 50% of the fleet, 25% joint ventured with companies like Hartmann and OOC and the remainder of the fleet chartered in on a back‐to‐back basis for construction project work. GO intends to continue providing crewing and logistic support to some of our valued clients and is looking to expand on this service later in the year as the market improves.

From emails I have read and comments in the field, I understand that you may feel that we have not been paying attention or delivering support. Having been where you are, I can assure you that we do take on board feedback from the ships and we are committed to re‐sponding to the emails we receive from our crew. I have asked Karen Clark, as head of our Shared Services Department, to meet with you all, hear your views, issues and suggestions on how we can make GO a better company for which to work. Please also tell her what we are getting right, so we know in what areas we are on the right track. Karen has already visited some of the fleet and will be getting around meeting the rest of you in the next few months. Some of the items raised on the vessels already visited are being addressed with quite a few already closed out. I value everyone’s input to make GO a shipping company not only renowned for its quality of ships, safety and management, but a company for which our crews and staff want to work, feeling valued and part of a bigger team.

My role in the company is to ensure we have the finance available and the work coming in. With the forecast industry development of $250 billion annually over the next five years and beyond, I don’t think the volume of work will be the issue, so we are now focusing getting the finance, systems and processes in place to ensure we can handle the new tonnage and the volume of work predicted.

We are entering another dip in quarter three this year and I know many of you may be concerned for your future. Don’t be! GO is here for the long haul. I appreciate that some of our casual employees are not getting continuous employment at present; this will change when the mar‐ket picks up, so keep in touch with our crewing department or view our updates on line. Remembering when I entered the offshore industry back in 1991, I recall everyone telling me I would be out of work within six months....it was quite the reverse and whilst I remember a few nervous months at home waiting for the next job, my 16 years in the offshore in‐dustry saw me on more than one occasion struggle to take accrued leave. I predict that this will again be the case for the larger parts of 2012 to 2014.

I will keep you updated via this forum as the Company develops. Please stay safe and give my very best wishes to all of your families, as they are truly what it is all about.

I digress. Sorry.

The MD and the board have been working very hard to ensure the

future of GO. However, one of the most cost effective methods of

being competitive in the market, especially in a competitive market

as now, is to own your own vessels. Currently, we have a mixture of

vessels that are on Bareboat charter, some on time charter, some

are being purchased through various methods and some are

manned.

So, with regard to Otto Marine, a negative view is to speculate that

GO is selling out to a foreign company and losing some control.

What happens tomorrow? What happens IF? Nobody has a crystal

ball. However, we are very optimistic that a strong, sound,

diversified partner who will strengthen the company

and help to build it bigger, better, and stronger as we

go forward has been brought into the group . It is my

opinion that Otto should be a solid move for the

group.

The MD and the board are working hard in order to

be able to proudly announce, in the not too distant

future, that GO will have its first totally new build. We also have the

largest AHTS in Australasia being delivered into fleet under our ship

management skills ‐ 28,000 bhp of orange glory! Those who are

unfit need not apply. I can testify it is a long way from the bottom

plates to the bridge, although what goes up must come down, and

that way is only slightly easier. In June we also take management of

a brand new PSV, courtesy of Opielok Offshore Carriers, from a yard

in Bangkok, which is similar in specs to the GO Cougar ‐ a little

smaller but with spare bunks. Other potential vessel developments

are also in discussion.

New Builds can be good vessels if a good new build supervision team

is in place early on, not the last 12 hours before someone hands the

keys over. We will endeavor to do it right and do it right the first

time.

Safe sailing

Since the M.D.’s announcement regarding the sale of part of the

company to Otto Marine, some staff, sea and shore, have questions

and clarifications as to the alliance going forward – ‘what does it

mean for the future of GO as we all see it?’

Everyone can view a situation in different ways:‐ One favourite, and I

swear it’s a true story, revolves around a certain crew member who

had approached the Master of a large Container vessel and

requested to go home this port call. Shortly after I boarded the

vessel the Master and I called him up to the ship’s Office to discuss

his urgent request. The crew member in question had been known

to me and had asked to be allowed to complete a 12 month trip, yes

month, not weeks or days, as he wanted to be able to attend college.

The company had agreed and all was going well, he

was a good worker, polite, willing and eager to learn,

so it was a little strange for this immediate urgent

request, especially as he had been on board for 10

months. So the Master, a very experienced gent, with

a dry, droll sense of humor, managed to pry from this

crewmember that the whole reason that he had to go

home urgently was not that his dog had died, his cat

had toothache or that his car needed a new battery, (yes we have

heard all these as reasons to go home and more), but because his

wife was in hospital. A compelling reason if accurate. Not that she

was ill of course, but she was actually there to deliver her baby.

Aghh, you have probably already put the above together and

thought, “ha ha it’s not his” – yes, things strangely do happen in this

industry – but we tried to advise him and find out if all was ok in the

marriage. In a rage of frustration he shouted, politely of course, that

his wife and he were in love and that he hadn’t cheated on her (well,

not since the last port call 5 days ago) and she was faithful also. The

one and only reason that the pregnancy was 10 months was because

she was expecting twins and they take longer to form. The master

muttered that he was glad she wasn’t expecting quadruplets as the

poor sod would be waiting a long time for them. Anyway we agreed

that if he was of such a high Mensa standard perhaps we would be

better without him on board. In hindsight I never did find out if they

were boys, girls, one of each or indeed ask if they even looked

It is my opinion that Otto should be a solid move for the Group.

SEALINK 161 Charterer: Fugro. Master: Chandra

Sealink 161 is currently supporting Fugro seismic ship, the Seisques. The main area of operation is off Miri – Labuan – Malaysia. The vessel continues to conduct chase work and replenishment work.

GO CANOPUS Charterer: NIL. Master: Oleg Pivov.

Vessel is under passage to Singapore. Annual class survey conducted on 2nd of August.

GO CAPELLA Charterer: Santos. Master: Nick Whalen

The vessel has recently been involved in two rig moves. The first move was for Santos with the Stena Clyde for the Mutineer well work over. The GO CAPELLA was utilised as the main tow vessel. The tow masters on board commented on the professionalism of the crew in bringing the rig onto location. The move was quite intricate because the rig was bought into the Mutineer Field with numerous subsea structures and flow lines.

Once the Mutineer field work over was completed the Stena Clyde moved from Mutineer to the Exeter field. Once again another good job completed by the GO CAPELLA team.

TOISA DAUNTLESS Charterer : Apache. Master: Drew Paskin

The Toisa dauntless continues to support Apache with the Ensco 109 and the Ocean Legend. The next major activity will be the tow of the Ocean legend into the port of Dampier. The ship has been approved by warranty for this forthcoming tow. We patiently wait for a suitable weather window.

TOISA SOLITAIRE Charterer: Woodside. Master: Jim Wright

The ship has finally departed from Apache after a very long term relationship. As Apache drilling program is reduced the Toisa Solitaire was released much to the disappointment of the Apache team.

Woodside now have chartered the vessel to support an operation in Korea. The ship is currently on route to Singapore with the first load out from Dampier to Korea.

UOS DISCOVERY Charterer: Chevron. Master: Bob Goodwin

The UOS Discovery participated in the Atwood Osprey rig move. The Atwood Osprey is the latest addition to the Atwood rig fleet being new generation rig with a 12 anchor spread. On completion of this move the vessel is now setting pre lay moorings for the Atwood Eagle. Good team work from both swings during the rig move. Well done guys.

What is someone else’s embarrassing moment?

When the little one was still getting her midnight formula, I forgot the mother‐in‐law was down for the night . She got up to see what all the fuss was about, I had baby in one arm, bottle in other hand and my dongle hanging out. It's always a case of bottle before pants. What is the highlight in your life thus far?

Would have to say Charlie. I get pretty excited to see her when we get close to swing off date. If you could have any super power what would it be and why?

Definitely not invisible man. He got caught out with that whole wonder woman superman thing, but I do dream about flying . Not fast but more like hovering, sort of floating, drifting around. So if there's a super hover power, I’d go for that.ver power then that would be it. Who are you most envious of?

Not an envious person, but for the sake of answering the question I do admire in an "envious" way Sir David Attenborough, he lived an extraordinary life. What would people say is your weirdest habit?

Old, cold tea and massive amounts of biltong when available. If you could be the opposite sex for the day what would you do?

Well there was this one time, in band camp… What is the worst question you could ask someone?

I guess being a Dad now it would be something like, if you could only have keep one kid which one would you choose.

Position at GO MARINE GROUP

IR

If you could choose any position in GO MARINE GROUP, what would it be

and why?

Lets just say living the dream for now, would not have it any other way. Ask me again in a year. Describe a day at GO MARINE

Start the day chatting to the chef, filtering through which rumors are good and which should be tweaked a little more and send them back out there. Then, I guess as IR, I just look at what needs to be done for the day and get on with, which involves me going down to the engine room to clean up oil leaks, in a safe manner of course. What is the first thing you do when you wake up?

Well that would depend on whose bed I wake up in … ha ha. Usually at home it’s change Charlie Ann's nappy. At sea, finish drinking last night’s tea and read my book in bed for a while. Describe your most embarrassing moment?

Phoned a mate a while ago and it went something like this: Pat: Howzit bro? Piers: Cool man Pat: What's that noise you got me on speakerphone? Piers: Ja I'm driving china. Pat: Oh sounds strange any way what's going on. Piers: Not much, was just thinking of the old days do you remember that sleep over at my mum’s house all those years ago. Pat: Ja bro that’s the time I saw your mum's hairy ….. Piers: laughing Pat: laughing : why? Piers: Oh, just picked up mum from the Airport Piers's mum: Hi Pat. Piers: Laughing. Pat: Hi Mrs Stephonson. Piers you bastard. Piers: My bro, I've been waiting years to get you back.

Did you know? Australian workers won the right to paid Annual Leave in the 1930’s. The single week per year they achieved is a far cry from the 6 months per year many of our offshore workers now enjoy.

EOFY Bits & Pieces By now you will have most likely received your Payment Summaries. If you have not yet received yours it may be a result of Payroll not having your current postal address on our records. Please email us at [email protected] with confirmation of your correct address and we’ll look into it for you.

Those who have had a Tax Withholding Variation in place for the 2010‐11 financial year should be aware this expired on 30 June 2011 so your rate of tax paid will revert to the standard until a new Variation letter is received by Payroll.

Payroll Queries The Payroll office endeavours to respond to queries as quickly as possible, but there are peak processing times when a delayed response is inevitable. If you have a query regarding your pay, please send it to [email protected] with as much detail as possible and we’ll respond as soon as we’re able.

This is my first year participating in GO’s office footy tipping

contest. For those not familiar with footy tipping, the premise

of the competition is to pick the winning teams during the

Australian Football League season. There are 21 rounds in a

season with 8 games being played per round. The best score

possible on any given round is guessing or ‘tipping’ the

winners of all 8 games. The person who picks the winning

teams most often wins the footy tipping contest. The prize is

money. All of this is fairly straightforward.

I entered the contest under no illusions of grandeur. My

chances of winning the footy tipping competition would be

comparable to an overweight, middle‐aged, white guy with a

leg cast competing in the 100 metre dash against Husain Bolt.>

my pick was spot on. Geelong defeated Hawthorn, Carlton beat the Brisbane Lions, Sydney Swans were too good for Richmond, Fremantle finally

got a win over Essendon, and Collingwood magically beat Melbourne. All as I, the god of footy tips, predicted! Bring on the Whopper!

Due to such glorious round 12 tips I am no longer on the bottom of the ladder. I am second last! Admittedly, the person who is now at the

bottom of the ladder is a girl that no longer works at GO and doesn’t enter tips anymore but let’s not get caught up in details.

Ladies and gentlemen: Life truly is a box of chocolates; you never know when your tips will come in, paid lavishly by hamburger goodness.

“My goal

was to get

a whopper

by the end

of the

season”

There is one little detail in this contest, however, which made me giddy

with excitement. If you guess 8 out of 8 correct on any given round the

prize is a HUNGRY JACK’s WHOPPER! How good is that? This little tidbit

was my inspiration for entering the GO MARINE GROUP Footy Tipping

Contest. My goal was to get a whopper by the end of the season.

While round one started with a stellar performance, with 6 out of 8 tips

picked correctly, my form dramatically spiralled to below ordinary in the

subsequent rounds. I soon established my position firmly at the bottom

of the GO MARINE GROUP Footy Tipping ladder. My dream of winning a

free Whopper was shrinking into a lost hopeless memory.

Enter round 12. I picked St Kilda over the Western Bulldogs – match

report 81‐57. Winner: St Kilda! Next pick – my team the mighty West

Coast Eagles to fly high over Adelaide – match report a 106‐67 goes to

the Eagles! Shockingly the Gold Coast Suns lost to North Melbourne –

GO INSHORE NEWS

Latest News:

GO INSHORE has since acquired the latest edition to our Fleet; the ‘NORTHERNER’, as we took delivery in late April 2011. This particular vessel is a 24m multipurpose monohull with a multitude of different propulsion applications. She is powered by a single main engine coupled to fixed shaft propeller with Hamilton water jets on either side, including the assistance of a bow thrusters, making this vessel extremely manoeuvrable in cumbersome situations. The vessel is also designed for long range voyages and capable of carrying out roles including, but not limited to, crew, small cargo transfers, shallow water survey, commercial dive and mooring applications, just to name a few.

General Business:

GO INSHORE had busy start to the to the first two months last quarter, but experienced a down turn in June. We anticipate the market to pick up around late July to early August, with new projects on the horizon and more campaigns scheduled to begin around October. Core Sample Drilling has been the main focus of late, as Iron Ore berths in the Pilbara region are scheduled for

Construction; hence the supply of vessels to support ‘JACK UP’ rigs in Port Hedland and Point Samson with the trend set to continue. Thanks to our marine crew doing an outstanding job our client has continued to utilize our services. Other major projects earmarked for the Northwest Shelf include the Gorgon DOMGAS Pipeline and Wheatstone LNG installation. On the Queensland coast, the Gladstone LNG installation is also further advancing so we expect there to be demand for multipurpose vessels to service these projects.

Making Way:

The Australian resources industry has obviously been gearing up to increase exports both Internationally and supply into the National sector. To keep up with industry requirements, GO INSHORE is looking at more tonnage to increase our Fleet so we can further cement our footprint into the market place and continue with rapid growth. We hope to share this growth with our Marine Crew, who are the face of our business at the forefront. We must however remained focused at maintaining a zero harm status on the environment and continue to hold a strong value on safety, as it is a very important part of our culture which must be adopted by all within GO INSHORE.

Skippers Rules Valuable insight from Captain Rod’s Sea Journal When you don’t know what you are doing, do it

convincingly.

Experience is directly proportional to the amount

of equipment ruined or destroyed.

Accept that past experience is always true. Never

be misled by present facts.

Don’t believe in miracles. Rely on them.

Teamwork is essential. It allows you to blame

someone else.

Always keep a log. It indicates that you have

been doing something.

No matter what happens. It will be according to

the skipper’s pet rules.

No matter what result is anticipated, the skipper

will always fit facts to it.

For neatness in chart work draw lines first. Take

sights afterward.

When in charge – ponder

When in trouble – delegate

When in doubt ‐ mumble

This was going to be about sailing in the islands off the Pilbara, hence the “ Bus Drivers Holiday “. Unfortunately the journey soon became greater than the destination.

Karen Clark was onboard New Horizon with us recently while she was conducting a survey of GO employees. When she suggested I write an article for the Go Newsletter I should have known that fate would dish up something dramatic.

I told Karen that I did my best to keep life on New Horizon as uneventful as possible, and that I might write about my next holiday instead! A few weeks later I was towing our sailing boat towards Dampier in preparation for the arrival of my wife Julie and our youngest, Hugh aged 14.

Tropicbird is a Trimaran 9.5m x 6.2m, about 2 tonnes plus gear and has a 12 metre mast. I had built her during my crayfishing off seasons. Months of work had gone into her re‐fit and now she was folded down to 3 metres wide and ready to tow behind our Landcruiser. I allowed 4 days for what should be a two day trip.

Geraldton is three hours north of Lancelin, we arrived in Dongara at sunset. Problems with the brakes forced us back to the mechanics in Lancelin and it was lunchtime before we got going in earnest.

Next morning a stop at Repco in Geraldton for spare belts had us doing some fairly creative maneuvers to get out of their carpark. I watched the trailer wheels twist alarmingly and hoped they wouldn’t give us trouble further up the road. Later that day when refueling in Carnarvon, another slightly less tortuous turn was required.

I had an old mate along for the trip. Neil had previously helped tow the boat to Shark Bay and across Australia.

Just north of Carnarvon a few kilometers before the Blow‐Holes turn off, a howling noise alerted us to smoke pouring off the left hand trailer tyres. By the time we focused there was only one wheel remaining and it was locked up. The other wheel had gone bush and on it’s way had bent the mudguard support so that it pushed into the other tyre.

It was immediately obvious that our trip was going down hill fast. The trailer and boat screeched to a halt safely and predictably allowing us time to ease gently off the road and stop clear of the NW Coastal Highway.

The wheel studs had sheared off and required a run back to town for replacements. In Carnarvon I organized Carnarvon Mechanical

We had a temporary repair completed as the sun set so we settled in for the night after moving a little further off the road. Tropicbirds accommodations are fairly comfortable and I was just about ready to open the Engel. An old bomb Subaru pulled off the highway , I didn’t feel like dealing with onlookers. It was dark now and the driver was difficult to see. He jumps out and approaches “Hi Dave!”

Kev is an old surfing/sailing mate from way back and had been on his way home from surfing Red Bluff. He travelled in the $500 bomb he bought to teach his daughter to drive and had his wife’s lounge cushions in the back. That’s typical Kev, but he’s a man of contrasts and that evening, over a meal and the contents of the Engel, he entertained us with stories of his recent escape from Libya.

Kev is a Fire Chief these days, he took advantage of the Gulf War and found employment in Qatar when war broke‐out and everyone was running for cover.

Recently he was working for Halliburton in Libya. Attempts to get his men out had failed, they were stuck in the middle of the desert . A cargo plane had it’s plans changed by a dust storm and was forced to land at the airport near‐by. In his usual style Kev started a conversation with the pilot that eventually led to his 7 firemen being secretly evacuated to Tripoli and on to Malta after transferring to another plane. Thousands of Libyans were flooding into Tripoli Airport fearful of the massacres and hoping to fly anywhere. Conditions at the airport were confronting to say the least.

As young blokes in 1984/85 Kev, Neil,myself and another great mate had sailed up and down the west coast on a surf trip that introduced us to our wives and set standards for life that we are still pursuing today.

But for now we are just stuck on the side of the road.

The trailer repairs were taken care of in Carnarvon and we arrived in Dampier the following day with a couple of hours daylight to spare. Four days and 1500 kilometres after leaving Lancelin, just in time to start another 4 week swing on the New Horizon.

Thankfully the drama’s were over . Julie and Hugh arrived at the end of the swing and we sailed out to the M o n t e b e l l o Islands to chill in paradise.

MARINE GROUP’S Photo Contest

Winner!

Thank you for those who submitted

photos. There were truly some wonderful shots to choose from.

In any well tuned football team, players are

substituted and positions redefined to improve on

field performance. The GO main office applies the

same principles. We are pleased to announce the

formation of a new department –

Commercial. This group of outstanding

individuals will be responsible for all

incoming tender responses, contract

management, and ongoing monitoring of

GO business activity. Andrew Trotter,

former Toisa commercial guru, will lead

up the department as Compliance/

Commercial Manager. Mehran Barooni,

the contract wizard, will be keeping GO’s

best interests intact operating in the role

of Contracts Manager. The third member

of the Commercial team will be a

dedicated Tender Coordinator –

alleviating the responsibility from the

Shared Services department who are now

focusing on the payroll, administration,

HR/ER and IR aspects of the business.

GO’s Account’s department welcomes

Keith Baxter who has been offered a

permanent role as an accountant after

working for GO as a temp. Roslyn Kovacs is a new

face who will be working in Accounts Payable. The

office is definitely a little quieter now that the

rambunctious David Wilson, senior accountant

decided to travel the world. We wish you all the best

in Europe Dave.

A wealth of new talent has been added to GO’s HSEQ

department. Welcome Adrian Harding‐Colliss, HSE

Manager and Glenn Tunstead, Safety Training

Manager. This department is gearing up to be a well

oiled team.

Joining the purchasing team we welcome Laine

Becker who is coming to terms with the

challenges of our vessels working

aboard.

The multi‐talented Brad George,

former Workforce Manager, has left

GO to pursue his career in the capacity

of Marine Manager for Fugro‐TSM.

GO has appointed Melissa Turley to

take on the role of Crewing Manager

with the IR component of the previous

Workforce Manger role moving to the

Shared Services Department under the

watchful eye of Karen Clark.

Two of our longer serving team mates,

Mark Smith, Technical Manger and

Kayla Wardle who could put her hand

to just about anything so I will refer to

her as our Administration Guru, are no

longer with us and we wish them every

success.

“GO OFFSHORE specialises in Marine, Management and Consultancy Services to the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry. GO OFFSHORE is committed to providing these services to the complete satisfaction of its Clients using the best available resources and working within a Management System of continual improvement.” (Introduction to GO MARINE’s Quality Policy)

Quality is defined in the dictionary as ‘degree of excellence’. Although not as readily recognised as Health, Safety and Environment, Quality is the backbone that holds the rest of the system together in the development of the best management system possible for the Company.

It’s really very straightforward – ensuring that we adhere to the ISO9001:2008 standards when developing, producing and following through on all aspects of the goods and services our Company provides.

We need to:

Ensure policies, procedures, manuals and all documents are written clearly, concisely and with accurate spelling, punctuation and grammar;

Follow those policies, procedures and manuals as required by the Company’s management system;

Work together to make good processes better, as practice and experience improve our understanding of their requirements.

If we, as a Company, strive for continual improvement in all we do, the GO MARINE

GROUP will grow into an even more successful, well respected member of the Marine Industry.

Come on all GO IR’s! Email us some stories from your

experiences working offshore.

Contact [email protected]

In some of the recent employee surveys it was mentioned that more offshore input would help make GO’s newsletter bigger and better. In an effort to encourage participation from offshore personnel, I’d like to invite IR’s to submit a story from their day to day work experience. What’s the coolest thing you’ve seen out at sea? Do you like ham and cheese in your sandwiches (is ham a good choice from your galley?)? What do you miss most when you are offshore? Come on all GO IR’s! Email us your yarns for inclusion in GO’s next Newsletter.
