SEA PATCH DEPLOYMENT NETWORK FOR INLAND WATERWAYS UNDERWAY
FT. WORTH, TX. March 30, 2000
21st Century Technologies, Inc. (OTC.BB "TEXNE") announced today that Eagle Control Systems of Baton Rouge, LA has been selected as one of its Inland Waterways Sales Representatives for the Sea Patch, as manufactured by its Trident subsidiary. Eagle Control Systems has been in the inland shipping industry since 1983 and its President William A. Rogers has been in the shipping industry for 27 years. As a manufacturer of a number of marine safety devices, including electronic safety devices such as "tank levels" and "overfill alarms", Eagle Control Systems was a repeat attendee at demonstrations of the Sea Patch. Eagle Control Systems has joined the Trident team to market the Sea Patch to inland waterway shipping. Discussions are currently underway with a number of inland waterway shippers such as Kirby Inland Marine to promote sales of the Sea Patch. Kirby Inland Marine has over 2,500 barges in service.
The maritime industry ships over 477 million short tons of petroleum and chemical products within U.S. territorial waterways with a significant portion on inland waterways. Key to selling the Sea Patch will be a distribution system in both inland waterways and on "blue ocean" waterways. Leaks, punctures, and tears in the hulls of barges and ships require the rapid deployment of the Sea Patch. With a rapid response team and deployment network, Trident will establish a floating inventory of Sea Patch's shared "barge to barge" and "ship to ship".
Trident has a "double" booth at the upcoming HAZMAT 2000 Conference in St. Louis, MO, April 4, 2000 and the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston, TX, May 1, 2000, where attendance is expected to exceed 45,000 maritime related companies and executives.
