Background The British Shippers' Council is a strategic policy making arm of FTA. Its members comprise industry representatives from a cross section of businesses who require international freight transport, logistics, distribution and shipping services. The Freight Transport Association (FTA) is a leading UK trade association and serves industry as users of transport & distribution services by all modes. FTA's 11,500 member companies represent all sectors of UK industry and consign 70% of UK visible exports, 90% of all freight moved by rail and also operate nearly half of the UK fleet of commercial vehicles. Our Strength At the heart of FTA is its unrivalled knowledge of transport and distribution, shared between 360 staff operating out of five UK offices and Brussels. This knowledge resource is delivered through local, national and European representation together with a comprehensive range of commercial services. Our Objectives FTA's membership is a broad church of mostly freight service providers (primarily road freight) and users of freight services (i.e. shippers). The British Shippers' Council has traditionally focussed most of its attention and activities on the maritime and air freight services and on trade facilitation through customs and documentation. Policies are made which aim to provide the right conditions in which industry is able to take advantage of a wide range of competitive and efficient services. Such services would enable them to enhance rather than hinder their global supply chains and promote the competitiveness of their products in overseas markets. FTA's Rail Freight Council is a forum of both users and operators and UK track infrastructure owners - all of whom are FTA members. This Council is FTA's principal strategic policy making body for matters to do with rail freight, both domestic and European. Together with FTA's Road Freight Council, largely comprising freight vehicle operators, FTA seek to promote developments in the freight industry which benefit industry and make their supply chains more efficient.

Company Description DMC is organized into two business segments - the Explosive Metalworking Group and the Aerospace Group. The Explosive Metalworking Group uses explosives to perform metal cladding and shock synthesis of industrial diamonds. The Aerospace Group machines, forms and welds parts for the aircraft, aerospace, defense and power generation industries. The Explosive Metalworking Group's primary product is clad metal which is used in the fabrication of pressure vessels and heat exchangers used in the hydrocarbon processing, chemical processing, power generation, petrochemical, pulp and paper, and mining industries. Also, clad metal transition joints are used in the shipbuilding, aluminum smelting and heat, ventilation and air conditioning industries. The Explosive Metalworking Group includes Nobelclad Europe and its wholly-owned subsidiary Nitro Metall, primary manufacturers of explosion clad products in Europe with manufacturing plants located in France and Sweden, respectively. The Aerospace Group is comprised of two divisions, AMK Welding and Spin Forge.

Spin Forge's products include motor cases for ground-to-ground and ground-to-air tactical missiles and titanium pressurant vessels for missile systems and launch vehicles. Company History In the late 1960s, Dynamic Materials Corporation (DMC) started an explosion metal forming business that shaped blank sheets of metal alloys into complex three- dimensional parts for aerospace equipment manufacturers. DMC became a publicly traded company in 1976 under the ticker symbol “BOOM” and shortly thereafter licensed technology from E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”) to explosively bond, or clad, two or more dissimilar metal plates together. The explosive clad business remains DMC’s core business today and the Company’s world leading position in this business segment has been strengthened by the acquisitions of DuPont’s Detaclad Division in 1996 and Nobelclad Europe in 2001. In 1998, DMC expanded its aerospace industry manufacturing activities by acquiring

Marine Atlantic Inc is a Canadian Federal Crown corporation that operates ferries across the Cabot Strait between the island of Newfoundland and mainland Canada, according to contracts in place with Transport Canada. The ferries operate year-round on the 100 nautical mile route between Port aux Basques, Newfoundland and North Sydney, Nova Scotia and during the summer on the 280 nautical mile route between Argentia, Newfoundland and North Sydney. In 1999, the company's vessels transported 432,000 passengers, 134,000 passenger vehicles and 76,000 commercial vehicles on the Port aux Basques run and 46,000 passengers, 16,000 passenger vehicles and 500 commercial vehicles on the Argentia run. This represents an 8% increase over 1998 for passenger vehicles on the Port aux Basques run, an 11% increase on the Argentia run and an 8% increase in commercial vehicles. This follows strong growth in both 1998 and 1997. Marine Atlantic experienced its third consecutive record-traffic year in 2000, surpassing the half million-passenger level for the first time between Newfoundland and mainland Canada. Marine Atlantic carried 508,970 passengers in 2000, an increase of 7% over the previous year. The company owns four ocean class vessels: The superferry MV Caribou was built at the Davie shipyard in Levis and entered service in 1986 on the Port aux Basques run. It is 179 m long, has a GRT of 27,212 tonnes, and can carry over 1000 passengers and 350 autos or an equivalent number of trucks. All vehicle space is high headroom. The vessel operates at over 20 knots, has fin stabilizers, bow and stern thrusters, roll-through loading and a ‘1a super’ ice class hull. The MV Joseph and Clara Smallwood is a sistership to the Caribou and entered service in 1990. It operates during the winter to Port aux Basques and during the summer to both Port aux Basques and Argentia. The MV Atlantic Freighter was built in Asia in 1978 and was acquired for the Port aux Basques run in 1988 mainly to carry trailers without drivers, containers and dangerous commodities. The vessel is not a passenger ferry. It is 151 m long, has a GRT of 5466 and can carry 75 trailers. The MV Leif Ericson began operation on the Port aux Basques run on June 2, 2001. It has a GRT of 18,523 tonnes and will carry 500 passengers and up to 300 autos or 75 trucks at 17 knots. As with the superferries, it has two high headroom decks and roll-through loading. It also has stabilizers, bow thrusters and an ice-class hull. A strength of the company is its well trained workforce. Peak season employment will be in the range of 1100 employees at shore locations and aboard the vessels. The person-year equivalent will be about 900. In 2000, customer revenues grew by more than 3 percent over the previous year, while an increase in spending was also reported. The company has no debt.
