INTRODUCTION Goldman Sachs (Singapore) Pte. ("Goldman Sachs") wishes to announce, for and on behalf of Bright Day Limited (the "Offeror"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of China International Marine Containers (Hong Kong) Limited ("CIMC HK"), which is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of China International Marine Containers (Group) Co., Ltd. ("CIMC"), that the Offeror has today entered into an agreement (the "Shareholders' Agreement") with (a) CIMC HK, (b) Sharp Vision Holdings Limited ("Sharp"), (c) Leung Kee Holdings Limited ("LK") and (d) Bright Touch Investment Limited ("BT") pursuant to which, amongst other things, the Offeror will make the Offer (as defined below) and after the close of the Offer, the CIMC Entities (as defined in paragraph 5.5 below) and the BT Entities (as defined in paragraph 5.5 below), will transfer their shares in Yantai Raffles Shipyard Limited ("YRSL") to the Offeror in exchange for shares in the Offeror on a 1:1 basis, subject to the terms and conditions of the Shareholders' Agreement. Following the execution of the Shareholders' Agreement and as at the date of this Announcement, the Offeror, together with the Relevant Persons (as defined in paragraph 10 below) own, control or have agreed to acquire an aggregate of 151,038,742 ordinary shares ("Shares") in the capital of YRSL, representing approximately 55.21 per cent. of the issued share capital of YRSL 1. The Offeror intends to make a voluntary unconditional cash offer (the "Offer") in accordance with Rule 15 of The Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers (the "Code") for all the Shares other than those held, directly or indirectly, by the Offeror, the CIMC Entities and the BT Entities as at the date of the Offer (the "Offer Shares"). 2. THE OFFER The Offer shall be made subject to the terms and conditions set out in the offer document to be issued by Goldman Sachs for and on behalf of the Offeror (the "Offer Document"). 1 In this Announcement, unless otherwise stated, the "issued share capital of YRSL" or the "total issued Shares" refers to a total of 273,565,000 Shares, based on the searches conducted with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore as at 15 November 2009.

The Offeror will make the Offer for the Offer Shares at an offer price (the "Offer Price") of US$1.41 in cash for each Offer Share. The Offer Shares are to be acquired (a) fully-paid, (b) free from all liens, equities, mortgages, charges, encumbrances, rights of pre-emption and other third party rights and interests of any nature whatsoever, and (c) together with all rights, benefits and entitlements attached thereto as at the date of this Announcement and hereafter attaching thereto (including the right to receive and retain all dividends and other distributions or return of capital (if any) which may be announced, declared, paid or made thereon by YRSL on or after the date of this Announcement). If any dividend, other distribution or return of capital is declared, made or paid on or after the date of this Announcement, the Offeror reserves the right to reduce the Offer Price by the amount of such dividend, distribution or return of capital. The Offer will be extended, on the same terms and conditions, to all new Shares unconditionally issued or to be issued pursuant to the valid exercise prior to the close of the Offer of any options (each, an "Option") to subscribe for new Shares granted under the Yantai Raffles Executive Share Option Scheme (which was approved and adopted by YRSL at an extraordinary general meeting held on 21 June 2006) (the "YRSL ESOS"). For the purpose of the Offer, the expression "Offer Shares" shall include such Shares. 3. CONDITIONS The Offer will be unconditional in all respects. Therefore, the Offer will not be conditional upon the level of acceptances which the Offeror may receive in respect of the Offer. 4. OPTIONS As at 30 September 2009, based on the latest information available to the Offeror, there are 3,851,006 outstanding Options granted under the YRSL ESOS. Under the rules of the YRSL ESOS, the Options are not freely transferable by the holders thereof. In view of this restriction, the Offeror will not make an offer to acquire the Options in connection with the Offer (although, as stated above, the Offer will be extended to all new Shares unconditionally issued or to be issued pursuant to the valid exercise of the Options prior to the close of the Offer). For the avoidance of doubt, the Offeror will not make a proposal for the Options in connection with the Offer. 5.

7. RATIONALE FOR THE OFFER The Offeror is making the Offer for the following reasons: 7.1 Allow the Offeror to acquire a majority interest in YRSL Through the Offer, CIMC wishes to increase its shareholding in YRSL and its subsidiaries (the "YRSL Group") and become the single largest shareholder of the YRSL Group. As the single largest shareholder of the YRSL Group, CIMC would like to achieve the following objectives: (a) Better align the strategic objectives of the YRSL Group with that of CIMC and its subsidiaries (the "CIMC Group") The CIMC Group is mainly engaged in the business of manufacturing and supplying containers, trailers, tank equipment and airport equipment. The YRSL Group is a leading offshore and marine fabrication specialist, specialising in the construction of various offshore and marine projects which include jack-up drilling rigs, semisubmersible drilling rigs, floating production storage and offloading vessels, heavy lift vessels, pipe lay vessels and other prototype vessels in the PRC. In recent years, CIMC has been planning to expand its business into the offshore engineering industry due to the strategic importance of the oil and gas industry to the PRC and the potential growth of the industry as offshore oil and gas exploration and production activities gain increasing importance. The equity acquisition of YRSL in 2008 was the first strategic investment made by CIMC in the industry. YRSL is one of the leading privately-owned builders of semi-submersible drilling rigs in the PRC. It has one of the largest and most modern offshore marine construction infrastructure in the world and has a team of highly skilled and experienced engineers for offshore marine services. The investment into YRSL allowed CIMC to cooperate with an established player and gain immediate exposure to the offshore marine industry. CIMC and the Offeror are of the view that the Offer represents an opportunity to better align the strategic objectives of the CIMC Group and the YRSL Group. As the new controlling shareholder of YRSL, the Offeror also intends for YRSL to become a platform for the implementation of CIMC's long-term strategy to be a leading offshore marine facilities manufacturer and to provide a broader foundation and stable path for development in this respect. (b) Tap the skills, experience and expertise of YRSL's current management In addition, the Offeror has a high regard for the skills and experience of the current management of YRSL, and one of the Offeror s key objectives is to retain and augment the current management team after the close of the Offer to continue to build upon the current businesses and operations of YRSL. 7.2 The Offer represents an opportunity for shareholders of YRSL to realise their investment CIMC is of the view that the Offer presents the shareholders of YRSL with an opportunity to realise their investment in the Shares for cash at a price that is at an approximately 15.9 per cent. premium to YRSL's closing share price of Norwegian Krone ("NOK") 6.90 (equivalent to US$1.22, based on the exchange rate of US$1:NOK 5.66 on 6 November 2009) on the NOTC on 6 November 2009 (being the last full day of trading in the Shares prior to the date of this Announcement). In addition, the trading liquidity of the Shares over the NOTC is low, with an average daily trading volume of approximately 37,994 Shares over the 12-month period 5

immediately preceding the date of this Announcement, representing approximately 0.01 per cent. of the issued share capital of YRSL. In view of the low trading liquidity, the Offer therefore represents an opportunity for the shareholders of YRSL to realise their investment in the Shares. 7.3 Effecting Liquidity Event As set out in the Shareholders' Agreement, it is the intention of the shareholders of the Offeror to effect a Liquidity Event on terms acceptable to each of them within an initial target period of three (3) years after the successful close of the Offer. In this Announcement, "Liquidity Event" means: (a) (b) (c) a single transaction involving the sale, transfer or other disposal of all the shares in the Offeror by the shareholders of the Offeror; a sale or disposition of the Offeror's shareholdings in YRSL or all or substantially all its assets; or the initial public offering of the shares of the Offeror or the Shares on a recognised stock exchange. 8. BENCHMARKING THE OFFER The information below relating to certain financial aspects of the Offer has been based on data extracted from Bloomberg on 15 November 2009. The Offer Price represents: Description Last transacted price per Share on the NOTC on 6 November 2009 (being the last full day of trading in the Shares prior to the date of this Announcement) Volume weighted average price per Share on the NOTC ("VWAP") for the one month period prior to the date of the last full day of trading in the Shares prior to the date of this Announcement (7 October 2009 to 6 November 2009) VWAP for the three month period prior to the date of the last full day of trading in the Shares prior to the date of this Announcement (11 August 2009 to 6 November 2009) Share Price (NOK) Premium of Offer Price of US$1.41 to Share Price (based on the exchange rate of US$1:NOK5.66 on 6 November 2009) 6.90 15.9% 7.05 13.4% 5.50 45.5% 6

VWAP for the six month period prior to the date of the last full day of trading in the Shares prior to the date of this Announcement (25 May 2009 to 6 November 2009) 4.73 69.0% 9. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE NOTC SYSTEM AND COMPULSORY ACQUISITION 9.1 Withdrawal from the NOTC system Under the rules of the NOTC system, the minimum float requirement for being admitted to the NOTC system is 50 shareholders. A company which is admitted to the NOTC system and has been acquired will automatically be removed from the system following an application from the acquirer provided that the acquisition encompasses more than 90 per cent. of the shares in the company. A company admitted to the NOTC system may also be removed from the system following an application from the company itself, provided that the shareholders of the company in general meeting have approved such application with at least a two-thirds majority. In the event that the Offeror obtains more than 90 per cent. of the Shares as at the close of the Offer, YRSL is expected to be removed from the NOTC-list. In this regard, an application will be made to the NOTC for YRSL to be removed from the NOTC system shortly after the close of the Offer. In the event that the Offeror does not obtain more than 90 per cent. of the Shares as at the close of the Offer, the Offeror may still consider removing YRSL from the NOTC-list. In this regard, a shareholders meeting of YRSL may be held after the close of the Offer to approve the application for the removal of YRSL. 9.2 Compulsory acquisition It is the intention of the Offeror to obtain a controlling interest in YRSL. If, during the period of the Offer, the Offeror receives acceptances and/or acquires Shares representing not less than 90 per cent. of the Shares (other than those already held by the Offeror, its related corporations or their respective nominees as at the date of the Offer), the Offeror intends to exercise its rights of compulsory acquisition under section 215(1) of the Companies Act, Chapter 50 of Singapore, and thereafter make an application for the removal of YRSL from the NOTC system. 10.
