<h3>Tropical Shipping Announces Alliance With AAA Cooper Transportation</h3>
<blockquote>
<p>March 7, 2000 -- Tropical Shipping is pleased to announce expanded inland
pick up service with its alliance partner, AAA Cooper Transportation, in order
to meet the growing needs of our customers. Now, customers are afforded
several new shipping options when shipping to the Bahamas, Eastern Caribbean,
Virgin Islands and Central America.</p>
<p>In cooperation with AAA Cooper Transportation, cargo may be delivered to
any terminal in the motor carriers' inland network located in the southeast,
southwest, Illinois and Minnesota on a CFS/CFS basis. Customers may also
choose to have their shipments picked up from the shipper or forwarder's door.</p>
<p>What's more, a revolutionary new pricing system is part of the service.
Rates will be quoted on a per cubic foot basis from the receiving terminal or
shipper's/forwarder's door through to any of the 35 destinations serviced by
Tropical Shipping. Until now, no motor or ocean carrier has been able to
combine two different pricing structures under one system. The tariffs take
into account density models used by motor carriers along with
weight/measurement models used by ocean carriers.</p>
<p>For more than 35 years, Tropical Shipping has been the premier ocean
carrier servicing the Caribbean. Ranked as the leader of containerized
shipping services to the region, Tropical Shipping owns and operates a fleet
of 18 vessels serving 35 ports throughout the Bahamas, Virgin Islands,
Caribbean and Central America. With its headquarters at the Port of Palm
Beach, Tropical is known for its dependable, fixed day departure and arrival
schedule in all of its markets. The company's on time performance actually
competes with air cargo in some locations. Plus, it is the only maritime,
less-than-container load (LCL) carrier with a 'guaranteed to arrive' service
standard. Additional information about Tropical Shipping may be found at <a href="http://www.tropical.com" target="_top">www.tropical.com</a>.</p>
<p>AAA Cooper Transportation takes pride in its long, successful history in
the trucking industry which can be attributed to several factors including
vehicles and routes to systems and technology. Above all, the company's
continued success is due to one, unique characteristic: people who are driven
by a dedication to dependability.</p>
<p>The new team is excited about the opportunity to expand our business by
providing customers with exceptional value in transportation.</p>
