1 American Patriot Holdings LLC & PPHTD Creating Inland Marine Innovation November 10, 2017

2 Today s Agenda Discuss the planned Gateway container terminal in Plaquemines Parish Location advantages The key drivers for long term economic success Benefits of designing for the future Introduce innovative and patented inland vessel technology, designed by Naval Architect Peter van Diepen of Naviform. Features include: Reduced lightship weight to maximize cargo payload Service speeds unrealized to date with inland cargo vessels Significantly reduced power to speed ratios Minimized environmental impact, including wake effects Discuss Six Major Elements necessary for success in long haul inland water trades Share the APH Competitive Advantages resulting from the new marine technology Discuss domestic and International use of the technology APH has exclusive use and sub-licensing rights to the patented technology Project next steps Private and Confidential 2

3 PPHTD / APH Port Development Partnership On March 29, 2017, Plaquemines Port Harbor & Terminal District (PPHTD) and American Patriot Holdings LLC (APH) announced plans to jointly develop a State of the Art GATEWAY CONTAINER TERMINAL on the lower Mississippi River Unique to PPHTD is Domestic Marine Connectivity to America s Heartland APH will be the Exclusive provider of domestic marine transport Additional information can be viewed at Patented vessel design features provide economic efficiencies to favor marine vs. rail to America s Heartland An Exoskeleton Hull Structure - optimizes payload A Minimum Resistance Bow structure - optimizes speed A Minimal Wake Bow Design eliminates speed concerns passing fleets / docks Vessel Model Testing was completed in October 17 (in Potsdam Germany) All vessel design specifications were validated or exceeded Model tested was 28 long, 6 4 wide, weighed 2.5 tons, propulsion via VS Testing performed in open water, model basin, and shallow water Private and Confidential 3

4 Why The Partnership Makes Sense At mile 55, PPHTD will be the southern most container terminal on the Mississippi River Less marine traffic and 50% less ocean carrier navigation time to upriver locations Deepest water, at the widest part of the river Terminal will be capable of servicing the largest ocean carriers (20,000+ TEU) Panama Canal expansion now accommodating approx. 15,000 TEU vessels Shippers option to ANY intermodal transportation system The Mississippi River is the Super-Highway to America s Heartland An advantage Exclusive to Mississippi River Gateway Terminals Together, the PPHTD terminal and APH s inland vessels will provide Shippers: A substantial landed transportation cost savings Improved service and reliability Operational and environmental safety Private and Confidential 4

9 PPHTD Container Terminal Plan Private and Confidential 9

10 Project Pre-Feasibility Study Prior to the Project Announcement, the partners commissioned a study to assess the competitiveness of servicing the Mid West states from PPHTD vs. WC, GC, and EC Gateway Ports The Study Evaluated: All container traffic in and out of states adjoining the Mississippi River The landed cost from Rotterdam and China to Chicago, St. Louis and Memphis All containerized cargoes in/out of major East, West and Gulf Coast Gateway Ports Study Conclusions: A significant transportation cost savings would result from the PPHTD / APH alternative Longer ocean transits from Asia to the GC are offset by operational delays, unreliability and long dwell times on the WC Shippers would welcome a cost effective and more reliable alternative to WC ports The project offers a Value Proposition sufficient to attract Ocean Carriers, Shippers, Investors, Terminal Operators and upriver ports to join the Partnership There is sufficient cargo demand on tributary rivers to deploy APH hybrid design vessels and traditional COB Private and Confidential 10

11 Major Elements for Marine Container Transportation Success Given the new logistics opportunity afforded GC/EC ports by the Panama Canal expansion project: APH realized conventional Container on Barge (COB) operations would not ensure long term success, or compete with rail in long haul service to the Mid-West The Challenge was to design a vessel capable of competing with rail, and exceeding Six Major Elements we believe are necessary for success The Six Major Elements Include: Reliability Cost Efficiency Speed Cargo Volume Safety and Environmentally Friendly Cargo Flexibility Private and Confidential 11

12 Conventional COB Operations Loading and Unloading-Conventional Cranes Utilizing Hopper Barges Private and Confidential 12

13 APCT s Self Propelled Liner Vessel Private and Confidential 13

14 Achieving Competitive Advantage in Liner Service Reliability Liner trade patterns avoid lock delays and multiple port calls 7 day RT to Memphis & 11 day RT to St. Louis One stop PPHTD and one stop north Reserve power is available to make up lost time in the river transits Cost Efficiency 3 main propulsion Voith drives and two bow drives eliminate need for tug assist LNG expected to provide lower fuel cost and reduced engine maintenance Innovative hull design provides optimal power speed ratios Speed High speed Minimum Wake Bow Structure facilitates upriver speed of 13+ mph Wake at 13 mph tested 4 at the hull, dissipates to nil 30 yards from vessel side Modern, high speed cranes at system terminals will expedite vessel turnarounds Forecasting lifts per hour per crane (100+ lifts per hour with 3 cranes) Private and Confidential 14

15 Cargo Volume Achieving Competitive Advantage in Liner Service The Exoskeleton Hull Structure reduces lightship weight and hull depth Maximizes cargo payload ( ft.. drafts) and TEU Panama Canal expansion provides new opportunity for UL ocean carriers to call in Mississippi River (terminal permitting) 14,000+ TEU ships now transit Panama Canal from Asia to the GC / EC 20,000+ TEU ships via Suez Canal / Atlantic can call at PPHTD Ag. exports will provide added incentive for Ocean Carriers to call at PPHTD Safety Advanced technology provides safer river navigation and terminal maneuvering Redundant propulsion units mitigates risk associated with engine failure Marine transport mitigates hazardous cargo transits through populated areas on roads/rail Reduces road traffic congestion, accidents, and cost of infrastructure repair Wide beam design provides stable platform for loading and discharging containers Self propelled design eliminates risk associated with barge breakaways Private and Confidential 15

16 Achieving Competitive Advantage in Liner Service Environmental Vessels will exceed EPA s tier 4 engine requirements and reduce emissions: Essentially no SOX or particulate matter; reduce NOX by 85% vs. Diesel Electric deck machinery mitigates potential hydraulic spills Marine vs. truck / rail reduces greenhouse gas emissions Cargo Flexibility Vessels planned with sufficient electrical capacity for 500+ refrigerated containers Final design will be based on BCO / Ocean Carrier requirements Vessels will accommodate all cargo types Agricultural products, chemicals, resins, machinery, big box store products and refrigerated cargoes Private and Confidential 16
