    MARINE PROTEST

    I, Arjo Sanchez Mendoza, Filipino, of legal age, single, with address


    at Besta Shipping Lines Inc., Unit 1006 Pearl of the Orient Tower, 1240
    Pres. M. A. Roxas Boulevard, Ermita Manila, after being duly sworn in
    accordance with the law, do hereby declare and state on protest:

    1. That I am the Chief Mate of M/V Baleno Nine, an inter-island


    passenger – cargo vessel plying the Batangas – Calapan route, owned
    and operated by Besta Shipping Lines;

    2. That on December 26, 2009 at around 2130H, we left Calapan City


    bound for Batangas on a regular voyage after having been cleared for
    departure by the proper authorities of Philippine Coast Guard and
    Philippine Ports Authority;

    3. That at the time of departure, the vessel was stable and in sound
    navigating condition, with complete and current trading and operating
    certificates, manned by complete set of duly licensed officers and
    crew, properly conditioned and supplied for its voyages, and staunch
    and strong in both hull and machineries. Moreover, the cargoes on
    board including the rolling cargoes were well and properly stowed,
    with clinometer reading at zero;

    4. That I was the navigating officer inside the bridge when the vessel
    passed Isla Baco Chico heading towards Matuko point, when
    suddenly there was a loud thud which came from the bow section, as
    if the vessel was hit by a heavy floating object, and momentarily the
    vessel listed to port;

    5. That I was immediately ordered by the Master to check the car deck,
    and upon reaching that area, I found that there was water coming in. I
    supervised the continuous pumping out of sea water. However, the
    vessel continued to list. When the vessel was already heavily listed,
    and the lights went off, I tried to proceed to the bridge, but the vessel
    was listing continuously until it sank somewhere 2.9 miles off Verde
    Island;

    6. That several vessels came to our rescue, among them our sister ships,
    and a vessel of Montenegro Shipping Lines;

    7. That as the most senior surviving officer as of this time, the Captain
    being missing as of this time, I am filing this Marine Protest in
    compliance with pertinent laws and maritime regulations, to solemnly
    and publicly protest against the resulting loss of lives and cargoes and
    any possible damage to the environment being caused by and
    exclusively due to fortuitous events hereby reserving the right to
    extend this marine protest as may be warranted.

    Arjo Sanchez Mendoza
