JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 3, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mariner's Choice International, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: MCII), a North American manufacturer and marketer of an extensive line of ecologically-safe products for the marine and other industry segments, today announced that it has established a relationship with a distributor in Curaçao to assist in growing the Company's remediation business in the Caribbean.
"This first step is all about gaining an international footprint through major distribution agreements," said Amie Hingston, President & CEO. "As we continue to implement our aggressive growth strategy, many such revenue channels should become available to us."
Olieberg Shipmanagers N.V. has obtained clearance from the Ministry of Health, Environment and Nature of Curaçao to import MUNOX® SR and Citrus Power Cleaner. The company is in discussions with a major oil refinery for an opportunity to use MUNOX® SR in a remediation project, which could be the first of many to come.
"We are excited about the opportunities to utilize MUNOX® SR, in light of the Government of Curaçao having declared its commitment to clean up the shorelines and the environment throughout the island. The introduction of such a great product as MUNOX® SR enables us to offer a sustainable and effective remediation solution," stated Francisco Olieberg, Sr, owner and director of Olieberg Shipmanagers N.V.
On a different note, the company has initiated discussions with the local government of a Canadian city about a considerable remediation project. We look forward to updating our progress in the near future.
