Swath Ocean International

Ltd. Changes Name

Swath Ocean International Ltd., builder and designer of the SWATH fast ferries Super-Regency, Super- 4000, Euro-4000 and the mini-cruise vessel Solas 4000, announced it has changed its company and trading name to Swath International Lim- ited.

The Swath International name change reflects an amicable sever- ance between Swath Ocean Systems,

Inc. of Chula Vista, Calif, and the former Swath Ocean International

Ltd. Swath International chairman

Timothy D. Kelley said the two companies had "gotten to where we each were pursuing largely differ- ent market sectors for SWATH ships and our respective SWATH designs, for that reason, no longer shared common technology. Continuingthe common trading name appeared to us to be causing market confusion."
