PROCEDURE AND ANALYSIS

Marine equipment in general is built to be mobile and can be utilized anywhere in the world,
subject to the physical and economical mobility of the particular piece of equipment, its age and
general condition. In estimating the value of a particular piece of marine equipment, age,
condition and outfitting can be more important than current usage or local market conditions.
To determine the value of a piece of marine equipment, an attempt is made to utilize all three of
the following methods:
 Cost Approach: To measure value by determining the current cost of producing a new
piece of equipment that will have equal utility and then deducting appropriate amounts for
the various elements of depreciation, generally referred to as physical deterioration,
functional obsolescence, and economic obsolescence.
 Market Approach: To measure value by analyzing the results of recent sales of like or
similar equipment to arrive at the most likely selling price of the equipment being appraised.
 Income Approach: To measure value by determining the current worth of the future
benefits of ownership. This is usually done through the capitalization of a specific income.
When utilizing the cost approach we determine the equipment’s current replacement cost. This
is considered to be the construction of a piece of equipment of like design, capacity and
capability at current market rates. This value is then depreciated over the expected useful life of
a similar piece of equipment and adjusted up or down for actual condition of the equipment as
noted by the appraiser at the time of the appraisal to reflect the actual remaining life. These
conditions may include, but are not limited to, recent rebuilding, refurbishment, re-powering or
lack of maintenance and repair.
When utilizing the market approach we analyze the available information related to current sales
and offerings. The results are adjusted to reflect our opinion of the current market for the
particular type of equipment. This adjustment considers functional obsolescence and economic
obsolescence and is based upon constant contact with owners, operators, brokers, buyers and
sellers of marine equipment since our founding in 1983.
When utilizing value by income approach, complete historical data related to income flow and
all related expenses must be provided to appraiser in addition to capitalization rate criteria
required by the client.

DEFINITIONS
Terms: The terms listed here may or may not be used within this report depending upon the
requirements of the present assignment.
The definitions are very similar to those provided by the American Society of Appraisers (ASA)
through their various appraisal training courses including the Uniform Standards of Appraisal
Practice (USPAP).
Replacement Cost: The estimated amount of consideration expressed in terms of money that
would be required for construction of a new vessel of similar size and capability in today’s
market.
Fair Market Value: The estimated amount of consideration expressed in terms of money that
may be expected from a property exchange between a willing buyer and seller with equity to
both, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell, both aware of all relevant facts as of a
specific date with no time constraint.
Orderly Liquidation Value: The estimated amount of consideration expressed in terms of
money that may be expected from a property exchange based upon the assumption that the
owner is compelled to sell a certain piece of equipment within a reasonable, but limited, period
of time and that a knowledgeable owner would be able to properly advertise subject equipment
in order to stimulate reasonable interest that ultimately leads to a sale. This is a gross amount, an
“As is where is”, and takes into consideration physical location, marketability, physical condition
and overall appearance.
Forced Liquidation Value: The estimated amount of consideration expressed in terms of
money that may be expected from a property exchange where a certain piece of equipment is
advertised and required to be sold at public auction in an “As is where is” condition, as of a
specific date.
4
Salvage Value: The estimated amount of consideration expressed in terms of money that may
be expected for the whole property or a component of the whole property that is retired from
service for use elsewhere, as of a specific date.
Scrap Value: The estimated amount of consideration expressed in terms of money that may be
expected for the whole property if it were sold for its material content, not for a productive use.
Conditions
New: Unused; No loss in value due to physical deterioration.
Excellent: Nearly new; Very little use; Recently purchased.
Very Good: Exceptionally good mechanical condition; May have been overhauled or not used
enough to require overhaul.

4. Owners have one spare engine and one spare azimuthing outdrive that is regularly exchanged so
that maintenance on all units can be performed. Units can be changed without dry-docking.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE

The highest and best use of subject vessel is as car and foot passenger ferry.
VALUE METHODOLOGY
Methods Considered: We considered the cost, income and market methods. As subject vessel
is a public owned vessel and not a for profit operation the income method was excluded. Subject
vessel of a class that is rarely traded the market revealed no useful information. All of the ferries
that we located were much larger foreign flag or fast passenger only ferries. Therefore we used
the cost method of determining value.
Cost: In September 2012, Foss Shipyard at Rainer, Oregon, reported built a 20-car 99-
passenger ferry for the amount of $10-million dollars. The Producer Price Index for shipbuilding
reports a 5% rise in vessel building costs since that time. Trending forward the cost would now
be approximately $10.5-million. Public vessels are generally built to last 40 to 50-years. They
are generally disposed of before the reach the end of their lives.
All vessels are subject to economic, functional and physical depreciation. These types of
depreciation are largely curable with proper maintenance and upgrading, although as a vessel
ages the maintenance cost increases to a point where it becomes cost prohibitive and new
equipment is considered. When we depreciate the new replacement cost of subject vessel over a
40-year period we come up with a 11% remaining life or $525,000. However, after inspection of
subject vessel, we are of the opinion that it has had continued superior maintenance and
upgrading and has resulted in a 13-years or 32.5% Remaining Useful Life estimate resulting in a
present value in the amount of $3,412,500.00.
APPRAISAL
General Condition
Subject vessel is 38-years old; It shows evidence of ongoing good maintenance and is
considered to be in good condition.

CONCLUSION
It is the opinion of the undersigned, as far as could be determined by the foregoing general
inspection, without making removals to expose parts normally concealed, or making borings or

ultrasonic measurements to ascertain thickness, or opening up machinery to ascertain exact

condition, that the vessel described herein, subject to compliance with the foregoing
recommendations and limitations, was found to be in satisfactory condition to continue in its
intended service.
