The increase in total revenue of $9.0 million was primarily related to a $9.8 million increase in expedition charter revenue associated with subsea mineral mining work in the South Pacific with Dorado Ocean Resources Ltd. ($5.1 million), syndicated shipwreck search projects which include Enigma II, Shantaram and Firebrand ($2.5 million), government and insurance company services in the wake of the airline accident in the Eastern Mediterranean ($1.5 million) and other miscellaneous charter services ($.7 million). We are currently working under a charter agreement with Dorado Ocean Resources Ltd. which will extend into the fourth quarter 2010 and longer. We are also planning other syndicated projects in the South Pacific in late 2010 and in 2011.
Operations and research expenses were $6.6 million in 2010 as compared to $2.9 million in 2009. The $3.7 million increase was due to higher vessel - related expenses in 2010 versus 2009 primarily attributable to the volume of projects underway and the addition of our two chartered vessels. The Dorado Discovery comprised $2.6 million of the increase and has recently completed renovations and mobilization in Southeast Asia and has been deployed to the South Pacific to work on subsea mineral mining and exploration projects under a charter agreement with Dorado Ocean Resources Ltd. Our second chartered vessel was deployed during the second quarter 2010 to work on the Shantaram project and has recently been sub-chartered to a third party which comprised $1.4 million of the increase. These increases in vessel-related expenses were offset in part by decreases Ocean Alert expenses of $.3 million while she is waiting to be deployed on the next project. We are currently anticipating several options for the Ocean Alert including charter, use on the recovery of the aircraft which crashed in the Easter Mediterranean and potential sale.
The increase in revenue of $15.2 million was primarily related to a $16.5 million increase in expedition charter revenue associated with several syndicated shipwreck search projects including Enigma I and II, Shantaram and Firebrand ($8.0 million), subsea mineral mining work in the South Pacific with Dorado Ocean Resources Ltd. ($5.1 million), government and insurance company services in the wake of the airline accident in the Eastern Mediterranean ($2.9 million) and other miscellaneous charter and expedition services ($.5 million).

Highlight of Business Operations:
In June 2010, we entered into agreements to provide project research and shipwreck search and survey services for a project code-named Shantaram associated with Robert Fraser Marine, Ltd. projects. Under the agreements, Odyssey furnished research related to Shantaram and its sinking and provided a research vessel, equipment and crew to search a specified area and inspect targets in that area. The contract provides for cash payments totaling approximately U.S. $3.4 million representing initial cash payments of $1.7 million and additional payments of approximately $1.5 million within 30 days and $0.2 million upon project completion, plus additional payments upon the sale of coins or artifacts from the Shantaram project. After the re-payment of salvage costs and fees, we will receive 75% of net revenue in aggregate until an additional £11.4 million (approximately $18 million) has been received and then 50% in aggregate of all further net revenue. The survey of the Shantaram search block is complete. Targets of interest have been inspected by our remotely operated vehicle and several other targets remain to be inspected. An amount of approximately $1.5 million remains due which we are still expecting to receive. In the event of non-payment, Odyssey has secured collateral which includes the right to receive an additional percentage of the net proceeds assuming the target shipwreck is located.The increase in total revenue of $9.0 million was primarily related to a $9.8 million increase in expedition charter revenue associated with subsea mineral mining work in the South Pacific with Dorado Ocean Resources Ltd.
