McCaughrin Maritime owners hired Euro Worldwide Shipping of Denmark in effort to start looking for right equipment for MMMSI/multi-purpose container service.  MMMSI is looking into 15 different vessels with tonnages starting at 10,000 to 35,000 deadweight capacity.  MMMSI's plan calls for specific teu capacity from 900 - 1500 / 20' / 14 tons range.

September 13, 1999

McCaughrin Maritime Marine Systems, Inc. announced today that a long term agreement has been signed by Middle East Company:  Parnoun Tejarat Company, Limited of Terhan, Iran.  The agreement calls for the Iranian company to be a MMMSI General Agency.

In August, Shipping & Trading Company Limited of Beirut, Lebanon signed on with MMMSI as their General Agency and also included Cyprus.  Shipping & Trang also put MMMSI on their web site announcing the new service in the region.

September 7, 1999

McCaughrin Maritime Marine Systems, Inc., (MMMSI) Wayne, Michigan, USA., is in the final run of finalizing port of calls and General Agencies for our USA / Mediterranean / Black Sea / Container Service.

MMMSI has agreements with 10 agencies that serve all the Countries surrounding  the Mediterranean Sea Port regions.  The Middle East Countries, consisting of Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Cyprus, and Iran, also have agreements with MMMSI now.

Ukraine region agencies will have representation in and around the Black Sea countries.  MMMSI's plan to blanket the entire region has now worked perfectly, Praise the Lord.

This is the second time in one year McCaughrin Maritime has ventured outside the Great Lakes to develop a global container market for the Great Lakes region.  McCaughrin Maritime has cut days off of the original sailing schedules of service per month from the Baltic region to Great Lakes.  MMMSI has created more tonnages by using East Coast USA port.

McCaughrin Maritime will use I.T.O. Corporation of Baltimore, Inc., Port of Baltimore, Maryland year round as MMMSI/USA/ Main base container operations.  MMMSI container service will be directed to Mediterranean / Middles East / Black Sea region with three distribution points along the way and still no container pools.

August 16, 1999

McCaughrin Maritime Marine Systems, Inc. (MMMSI), officials announced today that DHL World-Wide Express Couriers Inc., Phoenix, AZ has been chosen over arch rival Federal Express Corporation.

3rd firm:  Irem Shipping Limited of Istanbul, Turkey which is a key port and is well positioned to the next global hot spot:  Russia's vast land mass.  General Manager is Mr. Yusksel Ozer.

McCaughrin Maritime marketing theme:  "Bridge the Gap" into 1 Nation Trading has been successful in pulling together well experienced firms throughout these hot spots for global movement.  McCaughrin Maritime wants to close the gaps that keep our nations apart and re-untied those needs of searching for clients looking for a better way of moving their products globally, cheaper and in a timely fashion.

MMMSI plans are to cut sailing time, and costs by using these agencies operations experience to those needed destination MMMSI is planning.

MMMSI said pricing, logistics and scheduling will play a major part in cutting cost and having the right ship for the right cargoes for the client pocketbook who is shipping small parcel globally.

MMMSI is moving in on the crumbs of the pie instead of going after the pie itself.  Said MMMSI owners, "there are more crumbs out there than are pies."  MMMSI is looking for a more economical and safer way then the pie which is getting eaten up by over pricing, too much competition in one area and the wrong equipment for the cargo at hand.  

July 22, 1999
