NOTICE OF INTENDED DISPOSAL OF DERELICT VESSEL

(AS 30.30.090-.100)

Please be advised that the State of Alaska has asserted custody over the vessel F/V Akutan and, after January 13, 2018, intends to dispose of the vessel by negotiated sale, public auction if two or more prospective purchasers indicate an interest in purchasing or, if no prospective purchaser is identified, as junk to be donated or destroyed.

Any potential sale of the F/V Akutan by the State of Alaska, whether by negotiated sale or public auction, shall be made as-is and without any warranties, express or implied, of any kind.

A successful prospective purchaser shall be solely responsible for removing the F/V Akutan from its current location, in compliance with all local, state, and federal laws, and for identifying and resolving any claims that may be asserted against the vessel, including any claims asserted by entities who have filed UCC financing statements indexed in the name of the owner of the F/V Akutan, Klawock Oceanside, Inc.

A person or entity may be required to submit a removal plan or meet other minimum qualifications to be considered a prospective purchaser.

The F/V Akutan is currently located in state waters, and moored to state land, near Dutch Harbor, Alaska. The F/V Akutan is a derelict vessel, as that term is defined under AS 30.30.090, because it has been left unattended in state waters, and moored to state land, for more than 24 consecutive hours and is obstructing a waterway and/or is endangering state property.

WARNING: The State of Alaska’s intended disposal of the F/V Akutan may affect your property rights.

A person having an interest in the F/V Akutan must repossess the vessel on or before January 13, 2018. A failure to do so may result in the State of Alaska disposing of the F/V Akutan in the manner described above.

Please direct any questions or requests for additional information regarding the State of Alaska’s intended disposal of the F/V Akutan to Clark Cox at 269-7470.
