ADD: CREW LIST. Offerors must provide an accurate and current crew list within 24 hours of contract award and, additionally, no later than 96 hours prior to delivery of the vessel at the designated load or delivery port (or first designated load port in the case of multiple load ports), time permitting. Further, at any time during the contract period a list of any reliefs scheduled to board the vessel is required 96 hours prior to the personnel change. The crew list shall include full name (including middle name or the letters “NMN” if no middle name), date of birth, place of birth (city and country), passport number and country of issue, and nationality of all crewmembers and other personnel onboard the vessel. The list shall be submitted in an electronic format (Microsoft Excel only). Scanned lists are unacceptable. Any delay resulting from Owner’s failure to provide the list within the prescribed time frames shall be considered as time excluded under clause III(m)(3). ADD: IN-TRANSIT VISIBILITY. (1) 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. (2) 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: SALVAGE. (1) When engaged in the carriage of government cargo and if requested by Charterer, Owner agrees to accept Navy salvage services. Such services may be provided using Navy personnel and resources or Navy contracted resources. (2) In providing such services, the Navy, through Charterer, agrees to waive all claims for “pure” or “bonus” salvage. Instead, in those cases in which the salvage services are provided by Navy personnel and resources, the salvage claim shall be limited to a schedule of current per diem rates and allowable expenses as established by the Navy’s Supervisor of Salvage. In no event shall such amount exceed a maximum claim of $25,000 per day. (3) In those situations in which the Navy utilizes contracted resources to deliver assistance, Owner shall be liable for the actual daily rate charged to the Navy by the contractor(s). (4) It is understood that this limited Supervisor of Salvage claim is asserted against the vessel only, is solely for the vessel's account, and does not include any amounts for the salvage of the Government's cargo. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this contract, this limited Supervisor of Salvage claim IS NOT directly or by way of setoff chargeable in whole or in part to the Government by way of general average or otherwise. ADD: DEMURRAGE DOCUMENTATION. In the event of demurrage, all supporting documents as identified in TANKVOY III(d) (3) Invoices, shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer for approval prior to submission of demurrage invoices. After receiving the Contracting Officer's concurrence, Owner may submit demurrage invoices (with the DD Form 250-1) to the office identified in Box 18b of SF 1449.
