Mariner’s Choice International, Inc (Pink Sheets: MCII) is a stock that has been getting a lot of attention lately and for all the right reasons.
Let’s start with the fact it’s a real company with real product and real revenues. That’s always a great place to start when it comes to a recipe for interesting speculative stocks. Now add not just “eco-friendly” but go all the way to “eco-helpful” and you have a stock that sits squarely in the middle of one of the hottest market sectors of the next decade.
According to the company’s website, “Mariner’s Choice is a developer, manufacturer and marketer of product solutions specific to the marine industry. The principle objective is to consistently deliver products that are eco-safe alternatives that offer equal or superior performance to products that often contain caustic or hazardous ingredients, and also offer these products at attractive economies of scale – in terms of both direct cost of product, as well as the cost benefit and return-on-investment these solutions provide to end-users.”
But in a world where there’s lots of talking the talk but not so much walking the walk, MCII is distinguishing itself by competing head to head and beating out the competition as evidenced by their announcement that their products were chosen by major customers, like the recent delivery of an initial order of the company’s private label products to a large refrigerated warehouse and distribution center. The customer has a network of 35 centers, with overall refrigerated warehouse space of nearly 10.0 million square feet serving major markets throughout North America. Here the competition for the sale was stiff but Mariner’s Choice products won out in the end.
The desirability of their products was further confirmed when they announced that their products had been selected for a new marine focused online store being launched by TCS Marine Services Corp.
What caught our attention however, is something most folks are not jumping up and down about but that we find very very exciting. As much money as there is in the recreational and industrial solutions being offered by MCII, the MC-Marine Fuel Catalysts side of the business really caught our attention. When you start talking about improving the efficiency of ocean going vessels like container ships and ocean liners, you are talking about an economic scale that is staggering.
Consider the fact that an ocean going freighter can burn around 3,600 gallons of bunker fuel per hour. That’s 86,400 gallons a day. At that rate one ship could go through a 55 gal drum of Mariner’s Choice Bunker Fuel Enhancer every two days. With the increased power saving shipping companies time (which translates into money) and reducing fuel costs (money again) once MCII gets the word out about this product to the shipping companies, you could see the revenue stream literally explode. Keep in mind there are more than 50,000 cargo and passenger ships worldwide. You do the math!
According to the Pink Sheets, there are only 78,250,608 shares outstanding. At a $.04 stock price, that puts the market cap at a minuscule $3,130,024. Not a lot for a company with such incredible potential. That’s why we think Mariner’s Choice International, Inc is worth a look. Visit Mariner’s Choice Website today.
