2 Automated Marine Technologies For the last 35 years automated materials handling systems have dominated the way products in warehouses are stored around the world. They have dominated due to the fact that automated storage and retrieval of these products is: 1. Far more efficient 2. Products can be retrieved more easily 3. Less labor is required 4. Less human error

3 Automated Marine Technologies Some examples of these products range in size from simple fast moving consumer goods to cars in automated car parks. Now for the first time AMT offer state of the art materials handling technologies that have been adapted to the marine industry to deliver to the client a more efficient, safe and financially rewarding marina. Here is a case study to illustrate the differences between the old and the new.

4 Automated Marine Technologies Automated Boat Storage System 1 Each boat travels on the lift platform on a boat cradle. The lift platform travels simultaneously horizontally (120m/min) and vertically (60m/min). Automated Boat Storage System 2 Boats travel vertically from the water via the yellow boat elevators. Once they reach the required level they are delivered to the transfer vehicles that travel horizontally within each level. Each transfer vehicle then delivers the boat to its racking position.

5 Case Study Forklift Trucks (FLT s) vs. AMT Systems This illustration shows the efficiency of the building footprint. Our systems only require a maximum aisle way 1meter/3 feet more than the largest boat to be stored.

9 Pros and Cons of Each Model in Case Study For decades storing a boat out of the water has been dominated by forklift operations that have been comparatively space, time, maintenance and labor inefficient. AMT systems offer the following advantages: Space efficient Greater revenue Longer and heavier boats stored Capital cost reduction Faster boat throughput times (storage and delivery) Reduced maintenance costs and downtime Reduced labour costs Safer Operations

10 Space Efficient As forklifts lift a boat from the ground they de-rate. Therefore the higher the boat is stored off the ground the less weight the forklift truck can lift. Conversely an AMT system does not de-rate as the boat is lifted into the air. This allows the marina operator to store a maximum size boat at any height in the building. Modern forklifts used in the marine industry today are only capable of lifting a boat to a height of 20m, whilst the AMT systems allow marina operators to lift to an overall height of 35m.

11 Space Efficient This is an illustration to show how a forklift does not utilize the full cubic capacity of the building. The white area represents the area taken up by boats. The red area represents wasted space. As the forklifts lift vertically the length, width and the weight of boats on the forklift become exponentially smaller. Accordingly the amount of money the client is willing to pay is only representative to the size and value of their boat. Studies today suggest that the average boat owner is comfortable with spending 8% to 10% of the value of the boat per annum on storage and maintenance. Boat Racking Aisle Boat Racking

12 Space Efficient This is an illustration of an AMT system. The white area represents the area taken up by boats. As you can see there is no wasted cubic space. Boat Racking Aisle Boat Racking

13 Greater Revenue As a result of this space efficiency the marina operator is able to store the largest boat anywhere in the building. With the maximization of this cubic volume realized so is the maximum revenue generated.

14 Capital Cost Reduction Depending on the size of the building, 20% 30% of capital costs can be saved when using an AMT system as it only uses an aisle width equivalent to the length of the longest boat stored. Forklift trucks require large turning areas / swept paths that are not as space efficient and require much larger buildings. With the scarcity and high cost of land today on waterfront sites our AMT systems utilize every valuable meter of your land for not only boat storage but other uses such as retail as shown below.

15 Faster Boat Through Put Times Depending of the system design, AMT systems can generate from 27 to 75+ single cycle boat movements per hour. Increased throughput can be achieved due to a number of machines working together to move multiple boats at any one time. Traditional forklift systems can typically only generate up to 9 single cycle movement per forklift per hour. AMT systems also offer boat queuing areas within the racking that help alleviate any unforeseen on water bottlenecks in boat delivery or departure.

16 Reduced Maintenance Costs and Downtime Today s materials handling systems consistently prove a downtime rate of only 1%. This is a result due to a combination of regular preventative maintenance, fewer parts that wear and are subjected to salt water in addition to strong after sales service.

17 Reduced Labour Costs AMT systems operate in 4 modes. 1. Fully Automated (operator does not ride in cabin operator manages an inventory control system from the marina office or over the web using secure log-in) 2. Semi Automated (operator rides in cabin 1 button takes operator to rack) 3. Manual (operator controls all movements from cabin) 4. Maintenance Mode (for preventative maintenance procedures with safety override features)

18 Greater Safety Boats are more safely placed in racking and transported around the facility as they are supported at 4 points to the ground. This means that weight is more evenly distributed and any pressures on the boats hull are greatly reduced.

19 What size boat can we store? 1. Ground Floor boats up to: a. 15m in length (50 feet) b. 25ton in weight (55,115 lbs) c. Unlimited beam d. Unlimited height 2. First Floor and Above boats up to: a. 15m in length (50 feet) b. 15ton in weight (33,000 lbs) c. Unlimited beam d. Unlimited height

20 Other AMT systems AMT offers the following additional systems to further optimize the way your marina is run: 1. Automated Boat Queuing 2. Automated Hardstand 3. Automated Boat Wash 4. Automated Car Parking AMT also can provide your marina with: 1. A detailed study that analyses the local marina market and consumer spending patterns.

21 Automated Boat Queuing AMT offers a more space and time efficient option for the temporary berthing of your clients boat whilst you put it back into storage. Using a unique overhead conveyor system, boats on the marina can be slowly and safely queued towards the boat lift. This is far safer and efficient than manually moving each boat to the boat lift by clients or staff. Note: this queuing area can also be used as a permanent berthing structure for clients when the facility is not busy. Clients can alight from their boat using drop down platforms that connect from the marina to the stern of the boat.

22 Automated Hardstand AMT technologies allow the marina operator to far more quickly and efficiently store boats on the hardstand. Using remote controlled boat trailers these boats can be stored more closely in this area. Boat cradles (that are the same as used in our automated boat storage systems) allow the boat to be more safely stored as weight is more securely and evenly distributed. In transit boat trailers require less swept path to the boat itself, thus allowing even more boats to be stored in and worked on in the hardstand area.

23 Automated Boat Wash Before reaching its storage position the boat can be washed down in a wash down area using an automated boat wash system (not unlike many seen in car washes today.) Boats pass through a high pressure hose system that is contoured to the shape of the boat. This system can be manually operated or the rinsing can be started when the boat passes through a laser beam. The boat wash then cleans off fresh/ salt water and dirty residue. All the water used is recycled in sophisticated water treatment systems.

24 Automated Car Parking Through the integration of our boat storage and car parking systems we now enable the operator to store more than just the boat within each racking position. In particular once each customers boat has been placed into the water, they have the ability to have their car parked in the boat rack that their boat usually occupies. We are also able to modify our automated car parking systems to cater for trailer boats as well as cars. We recognize that waterfront land today is at a premium and storage of goods (e.g. cars) in addition to boats can be a more efficient use of the total site area.

25 Marina Market Analysis Marina owners and developers often find it prudent to assess the local boat storage market before embarking on building a new facility or refurbishing an existing facility. This assessment will aid in providing vital information that will bring about security to not only the marina developer but to banks, valuation companies and future investors.
