( PR B: Radix Marine Signs Joint Marketing and Development Memorandum of Understandin With Astrolabe Marine Group Ltd. ( PRNewswire-FirstCall ) SILVERDALE, Wash., Jan 21, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Radix Marine, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: RDXM.OB), a marine vessel development company specializing in port and homeland security and defense initiatives, today announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Astrolabe Marine Group, Ltd, a Vancouver based, Canadian marine vessel development company, to enter into a joint marketing and development agreement. Under the terms of the memorandum of understanding, Radix Marine and Astrolabe will enter into an agreement whereby they shall implement a program of joint cooperation in each others' small vessel marketing, development, promotional, training and sales efforts. Specific areas of cooperation contemplated by the memorandum of understanding include the development of GB-11 Challenger and GB-12 Challenger prototypes (eleven and twelve meter boats, respectively) and bidding on an upcoming U.S. Government contract for the construction of utility boats. "We are very excited at the prospect of working with Astrolabe, especially because of their established relationships in this industry," said Kathy Bright, C.E.O. of Radix Marine. In February of 2004, representatives from Astrolabe will travel to the Philippines to meet with civilian and military officials, with whom the company previously met in Vancouver, and present the Challenger series of patrol craft. The Philippine government has previously expressed an interest in obtaining marine vessels that can be applied to the patrol efforts of its Coast Guard and Police in the Straits of Malaca: Radix Marine believes that a joint marketing and development program with Astrolabe can position the company to meet this need.
