================================================================================

PAGE 68:
Q. (By Mr. Sterling) Chief Mate Lindqvist, were you on the bridge during the transit 
   through the traffic separation zone on March 18?
A. Yes, I arrived on the bridge at 03:05 UTC to prepare for the 04:00 watch relief.

PAGE 70:
Q. What was the vessel's speed between 03:10 and 03:25 UTC?
A. We were running Full Sea Ahead. We had a charter party delivery window in Vancouver, 
   and the Master had instructed the engine room to maintain sixteen (16) knots until 
   we reached the pilot boarding station. I personally checked the Doppler speed log at 
   03:20 UTC, and it displayed 15.9 knots.

PAGE 73:
Q. What were the environmental conditions and radar functionality at that time?
A. We encountered dense fog banks rolling off the strait. Visibility dropped abruptly 
   to less than half a nautical mile. Moreover, our forward X-band radar was heavily 
   obscured by sea clutter and wave suppression attenuation, creating an unmonitored 
   blind arc between zero and thirty degrees on our starboard bow.

PAGE 76:
Q. Was Able Seaman Morales on the bridge wing as lookout at 03:15 UTC?
A. No. Morales had been sent down to the main deck by the Master at 03:00 to inspect 
   container lashing turnbuckles in Bay 14. He did not return to the bridge until after 
   the collision alarm sounded at 03:27 UTC.
