Position reports are required by 0600 and 1800 daily. ADD: IN-TRANSIT VISIBILITY The Military Sealift Command has implemented a fully automated satellite tracking system (ASTARS) for the purpose of providing In-Transit Visibility (ITV) of its vessels. To support this system MSC utilizes position data provided by a ship's INMARSAT-C Terminal (the terminal must have a GPS input). This is a critical requirement and is therefore mandatory. In order to initiate reporting and start receiving the required data from a ship, MSC needs to know the make and model of the INMARSAT C terminal, its registered identification number, and the specific satellite (POR, AORE, AORW, or IOR) it is currently logged on to. Once this information is received MSC technicians will remotely communicate with the terminal to activate reporting. When no longer required MSC technicians will stop the terminal from reporting. MSC technicians may require some assistance from ship's personnel should problems occur. The ship's terminal will accrue a nominal cost associated with the sending of small data packets. ADD: FORCE PROTECTION (a) Owner agrees that U.S. Armed Forces personnel may board the Vessel at any time at any location for U.S. national security purposes, gives consent for such boarding, and agrees to cooperate fully with such U.S. Armed Forces personnel on the boarding party. (b) Owner agrees to render all necessary assistance to such United States Armed Forces boarding party with respect to the identification of crew members or such others as may be aboard the Vessel, and to permit the United States Armed Forces personnel to search without limitation any and all vessel spaces for U.S. national security purposes. (c) Owner consents to the immediate removal of crewmembers or such others as may be aboard the Vessel deemed unsuitable for any reason by the Contracting Officer, or U.S. Armed Forces personnel. Owner agrees to replace any such crewmembers promptly so as not to delay prosecution of the voyage, and that such replacements will fully comply with all crew screening requirements. Charterer agrees to bear reasonable costs incurred by the Owner associated with replacement, if necessary. (d) Owner understands and agrees that members of and equipment belonging to the Armed Forces of the United States of America will be embarked aboard the vessel during the period of the Charter. Charterer reserves the right, at Charterer’s sole option, to embark additional armed U.S. Armed Forces members, for the purposes of protection of the U.S. Armed Forces members responsible for the equipment as well as the equipment belonging to the U.S. Armed Forces. These additional force protection personnel will provide security in accordance with rules of engagement established by U.S. Military Authorities, and will operate under the command of competent U.S. Military Authorities. Charterer agrees to reimburse the Owner of cost of such additional personnel at the rate set forth in the Charter for Supercargoes. Owner agrees to provide sufficient life saving equipment for up to 12 additional personnel in accordance with SOLAS and all applicable regulatory requirements. III.
