This achievement reinforces the Isle of Man s reputation as one of the World s Premier Centres for International Shipping and Yacht business. Ships and Yachts flying the Manx Ensign, now proudly display their own quality as well. Our congratulations go out to all involved at the Isle Of Man Marine Administration and Department of Trade and Industry.

Seonad Duggan - personal assistant to the managing director and Owen Bromley - graduate management trainee at Dohle (IOM) Limited, part of the Dohle Group of Companies. Global economy is shaky but the Island's young executives have faith... The Isle of Man Economy The Future Stability, continuity and sustainability. As an established Ship Management company, we feel these are three extremely important factors in the future of the Isle of Man economy. We live on an Island of low unemployment (0.7%), low inflation (3.6%) and high levels of economic growth (approximately 6% in real terms). We pay low levels of personal income tax and enjoy a AAA standard of life (Standard & Poors) and 93% of us are satisfied with life on the Island (Mori Poll). As we look out from our offices over Douglas Harbour what storms could be developing over the horizon and what must we do in order to deal with these and ensure economic prosperity? One of the key factors for continuity is the Government s ongoing discussions with the UK. There is pressure from Europe to bring us in line with European tax regimes but as long as our tax structure remains the same then we should continue to prosper. Indeed we should endeavour to exploit these tax advantages such as the Zero rating and low business taxation, and not grow complacent following 20 years of growth in the economy. It is clear the Treasury is funding the necessary creative solutions within the European Union and OECD restrictions in order to achieve this. The Isle of Man must also continue the drive for diversification in the economy. There is no doubt that the finance sector is the largest in the economy and we should aim to divert more resources to help other industries such as shipping, film making, manufacturing, e-commerce and tourism By investing in these other industries we can give residents an employment alternative to the finance sector, a sector which is influenced by the increased mobility of capital and labour. To ensure support for the finance sector and other developing industries it is also important to invest in both modernisation and training/education. International companies looking to relocate require the technological infrastructure in order to trade effectively and the Island is committed to investment in this area. By remaining at the forefront of technology the Island can continue to attract businesses looking for a competitive advantage in a tax friendly environment. The Isle of Man College and the International Business School are also critical components of the future of the Island. To give the Isle of Man a competitive edge we need to invest in the knowledge and skill base of the workforce. By providing an educated and desirable pool of employees from which companies can select more jobs can be filled from on the Isle of Man rather than off the Isle of Man. The Island needs to accommodate and be sensitive to preserving the quality and culture of our environment. We need affordable housing and a competitive environment in which to provide an ongoing, competitively priced workforce. Failure to address such issues could ultimately price large sectors of the workforce out of the international market. An issue that often arises as a problem on the Isle of Man is the transport links to and from the United Kingdom, both ferry and air connections. These are often considered to be expensive and inconvenient for both business and leisure travellers and onward connections can be difficult to schedule. This issue needs to be addressed as this affects both the quality of life and the perspective of the Island s infrastructure to the wider business community. From our point of view the future for the shipping industry on the Isle of Man looks bright. The Isle of Man encompasses many well-established companies from the sector and offers a full portfolio of ship management services, making the Island a key Ship Management centre within the British Isles and within the industry as a whole. Ship Management Companies enjoy the support the Isle Of Man Marine Administration, DTI as well as a constructive relationship with the relevant Unions. The Isle of Man offers a favourable tax regime, high quality personnel, political stability, excellent communication systems and a high quality register administered by a dedicated Marine Administration. The continued increase in the registered tonnage on the Island is vital and a push towards allowing Manx registered vessels access to Cabotage trading in Europe (trade within one country), would undoubtedly be beneficial and give us a competitive edge over other offshore locations. This is a topic still under review. In conclusion all these factors are very much a part of the future of the Isle of Man economy. Stability, continuity and sustainability will be critical to future success and to maintaining the high level of economic growth. Despite the current difficulties in the world economy the Isle of Man is well placed to use it s market position and fully utilise its numerous competitive advantages. The Isle of Man s reputation as an excellent place to live, set up business and do business needs to continue to be promoted internationally and if we can say the same in 10 years time then the Isle of Man will have been successful.

Ship Rope Isle of Man The Isle of Man Shipping Register is, in effect, a British register and the ships registered are therefore British ships and part of the Red Ensign group of Registries. Commercial yachts, which comply with the UK Mega-yacht Code, have been eligible for registry in the Isle of Man since 2003. As such they only accept yachts over 24m, which complements the high quality of their merchant register. The Isle of Man Administration is small enough to be able to take an individual interest in the vessels on the register and have a flexible approach to proposals made by designers and yacht owners. The Isle of Man Government provides positive support to the shipping register and to the establishment of ship management companies on the island. The only fees charged by the Marine Administration are those relating to registration, survey and certification of ships, and these are all set at levels intended only to recover the administrative costs involved. There is no additional registration tax or tonnage fee levied on Manx-registered shipping. THE CASE FOR SHIP REGISTRATION IN THE ISLE OF MAN: 1.

OVERVIEW As Ship Owners ourselves we understand how important your yacht is to you the Owner, its Master and Yacht Manager and for this reason we have created tailor made compliance services to ensure she is looked after as if she were our own. Private Marine Clients have the necessary level of expertise, knowledge and experience to carryout our services with a minimum amount of disturbance to you or your guests. In our management philosophy we seek to operate the vessels at the highest standards, offering full transparency while maintaining and protecting your assets and the environment. Private Marine Clients is a division committed to long-term successful relationships with our clients and has with time, investment and training, developed a first class and well trained yacht management team. As you may be aware, in December 2002 the IMO has agreed on the International Ship and Port Facilities Securities Code (ISPS Code). The new code requires every commercial vessel and/or every vessel over 500 GRT to hold an International Ship Security Certificate (ISSC). We believe that the US Government and US Coastguard have advised the UK Government that they are now going to extend SOLAS Chapter XI and the new ISPS Code to include all vessels of 100 tonnes and above. For vessels under 500 GRT, it is not yet compulsory to hold an ISSC, but the benefits of complying with ISPS and ISM will far outweigh the costs and effort involved. The ISPS has been interpreted in many ways and there may appear to be many grey areas. For this reason our experience will be invaluable to you in obtaining this certificate, this is reflected in the fact that several major ship owners, (representing over 100 vessels) have asked us to prepare their entire fleet before the deadline of July 2004. Private Marine Clients provides the following services: ISPS/ISM implantation full project management, investigation of damages; consultancy services; dry dockings, repairs & conversions; sale & purchase inspection of vessels; new building supervision and condition assessment. Dohle Private Marine Clients holds Documents of Compliance for the following Flag States Isle of Man, Cayman Islands, Antigua & Barbuda, Singapore, Liberia, Malta, Marshall Islands and Bahamas.

We achieve this by implementing technical targets, which are drafted on commencement of contract and are subsequently reviewed and adjusted on a continuing basis. MEDIA RESPONSE TEAM We are all aware of the power the media has to damage or even destroy Corporate and personal reputations. For these reasons we work in conjunction with a major Incident Response Service and have access to over 50 Media Response teams worldwide giving us a 2 Hour maximum response time. Should a serious incident occur on board your Yacht be it a collision, oil spill or an accident involving a guest, ships personnel or a member of the public; handling the media effectively by setting the media agenda and offering balanced information, is the only way to minimise adverse publicity. INSURANCE SERVICES Insurance business is by no means straightforward. It can suffer like any market from over supply and lack of demand. To deal with these fluctuations the Dohle Group has set up its own Marine Insurance Brokerage Company. The professional expertise is not only rendered to the Group's own vessels but is also open for other ship owners. Being able to participate in the advantages of the volume of in-house business that is generated means that overall sums for insurance are kept as low as possible. Above all, the Company places emphasis on the service aspect supported by utilising the experience and skills of all sections of the Peter Dohle Group as required. Full claims handling at competitive premiums are the minimum service levels offered. Insurances offered: * Hull and Machinery * P & I The long lasting co-operation with specialised partners also enables the Company to cover all kinds of non-marine risks, like liabilities to third parties and water-sport's liabilities. This is in keeping with the Group's philosophy to support the Client's requirements even outside their main yachting activities.

The Company has a dedicated Emergency Response Room , directly linked to our Technical Department, to enable efficient and immediate action in any event. Ship Rope Non Tank Vessel Response Plans (NTVRP) The subject of all types of vessel other than tankers having to carry a dedicated oil spill contingency plan when trading to the U.S. has been, in general terms, under discussion since last year but events have now moved very quickly. On the 16 February 2005, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) suddenly issued interim guidance for development and review of oil spill response plans for non tank vessels (the definition of such vessels, are all self-propelled vessels of 400 gt or greater, other than a tanker, that carry oil of any kind as fuel for main propulsion). The deadline for plan submission is 8 August 2005 - Full details of this legislation can be found in the USCG's Navigation and Information Circular 01-05 (NVIC 01-05), however a summary of the primary requirements are shown below: # The plan must identify the Qualified Individual (Q.I.) who must be a U.S. resident, available 24 hours a day and having full authority to implement the plan; # There must be a contract in place with a classified oil spill removal organization (OSRO) and salvor; # An annual tabletop exercise must be held (this is a requirement for the Managers). This plan will be similar in many respects to the Vessel Response Plan (VRP) already required by tankers and is required to have geographic-specific appendices for each COTP zone in which a vessel operates . This aspect alone will mean that "outside" specialised assistance will be required for the preparation and maintenance of plans. As of February 2005, all regulatory legislation is not yet in place. If still not in place by the above deadline, the USCG will issue an authorization letter with 2 year period of validity which will allow a vessel to operate without an approved plan provided they have received a plan and the required contracts are in place. If the USCG is unable to review all plans in time to issue an authorization letter, then they will issue an interim authorization letter as a short-term measure.
