Dear Sirs,

I am acting as the Court-appointed Receiver of the m/v SEMSA, which is presently being offered for sale pursuant to the directions and under the supervision of the Israeli Admiralty Court.

Please find attached the Notice of Sale.

My colleague, Mr Hakan Tufekci in Istanbul, recommended that I bring the sale to the attention of your S&P desk.

Given Optima's international S&P coverage and its presence in Istanbul, I would be grateful if you could bring the vessel promptly to the attention of any clients or prospective purchasers within your network who may have an interest in acquiring a vessel of this size and profile.

The timetable fixed by the Court is particularly short, and any targeted circulation to suitable potential buyers would therefore be greatly appreciated.

Should you or any prospective purchaser require further information, please feel free to contact me directly.

For the avoidance of doubt, this communication is for information and circulation purposes only. Any brokerage or commission arrangement, if applicable, would be subject to my prior written agreement in my capacity as Court-appointed Receiver.
