STBD/side. • 1,800 x 2,000 mm of hull shell plating which was placed over the waterline from Fr. 15 to Fr. 20 was

waved in different deflection inward to 02 mm max. • 1,500 x 2,000 mm of hull shell plating which was placed over the waterline in the way of Fr. 117 to Fr.

120 was slight rust. General speaking, the STBD side of hull shell plating was slight fitting with many spots due to corrosion with cover old painted. But in sound condition

P/side. • 50 x 90 mm of bow shell plating placed over the waterline was waved in different deflection inward to

03 mm max. • 800 x 3,500 mm of hull which was placed over the waterline in the way of Fr. 133 to Fr. 140 (at hold No.

1) was slight dent in different degree with max. deflection inward to 02mm. • 500 x 4,500 mm of bulwark in the way of Fr. 60 to Fr. 75 (at hold No. 3) was slight dent in different

degree with max. deflection inward to 30mm. • 80 x 2,000 mm of hull in the way of Fr. 25 to Fr. 30 (at gangway) was slight fitting with many spots in

different degree with max. deflection inward to 05 mm. • 800 x 1,000 mm of bulwark in the way of Fr. 30 to Fr. 31 (after the gangway) was slight dent in

different degree with max. deflection inward to 20mm. • 50 x 1,000 mm of hull in the way of Fr. 07 to Fr. 12 (at aft part) was slight fitting with many spots in

different degree with max. deflection inward to 03 mm. General speaking, the Port side of hull shell plating was slight fitting with many spots due to corrosion with cover old painted but in sound condition. • 2,000 x 3,000 mm of forecast shell plating were waved different degree with max. deflection up to

02mm. • Weather deck shell plating was fitting spots due to corrosion but covered by old painting. • Main deck shell plating was fitting spots due to corrosion but covered by old painting. • Poop deck shell plating was fitting spots due to corrosion but covered by old painting. • Main deck was found rust with pitting and covered with old painted but looked structurally sound. • Framing as far as it could be inspected was found in slight rust in sound condition. • Bulwark of forecastle has a number of insignificant indentations but looks as structurally sound.

This report is not a guarantee of condition, and the findings contained herein are based upon generally accepted methods of testing and observation. Stated findings are the opinion of the undersigned surveyor based upon observations noted at the time of the survey. Unless specifically indicated, no destructive testing of the hull, deck or structure was performed, and no machinery was disassembled or bench tested. By nature of their design and construction, the inner structure of hulls and decks can be concealed and obscured from view, and no exact determination of their condition may be determined. Statements of condition and discussion of construction details are based upon the experience of the surveyor and readily available observation and testing methods, and rely upon the best judgment of the surveyor using the information readily gleaned from the testing methods employed. Hidden internal structural damage or potential for future damage is generally detected using the above testing methods, but many indications of internal flaws are inexact and open to interpretation. Wherever possible, conservative judgment has been used in reporting these findings. However, the possibility exists that hidden damage, including latent defects, may not have been located. Further, the treatment of the vessel and its equipment following the time of the survey cannot be estimated, and certain conditions may worsen minor damage, or create new areas of concern, within a short period of time. These circumstances are beyond the control of the surveyor, and no estimation of such usage is covered by this document, nor is any responsibility accepted for such unforeseen and inestimable situations. REMARKS:

The above survey has been conducted to the best of our ability without prejudice to any parties concerned. FOR AGRICULTURE - INDUSTRY - MARINE INSPECTION CORP.
