DENVER, February 17, 2011 - JOC Exchange (www.jocexchange.com), the creators of the recently
launched intelligent online technologies designed to automate the buying and
selling of available spot market container slots, announces today it has
signed its first two companies: The Containership Company (TCC)
(www.containership-company.com) and JMC Global LLC
(www.jmc-global.com), a logistics/NVOCC company.

TCC and JMC Global will each utilize JOC Exchange's first two product
offerings: the Private Label Exchange and the Carrier to Market Exchange.

The Private Label Exchange is a solutions platform that allows a single
owner of containerized freight slots (such as an ocean carrier, NVOCC or
freight forwarder) to sell its slots to invited customers. Each owner has a
customized 'look and feel' on its private exchange and posts available slots
and pricing for particular sailings. Customers buy based on their global
transportation needs. All transactions are conducted electronically, hosted
securely and accessible 24/7.

This quarter JOC Exchange will launch the Carrier to Market Exchange, a
participant neutral e-marketplace allowing multiple ocean carriers to post
available container slots and pricing and to sell to a vetted community of
purchasing NVOCCs and freight forwarders. All postings and changes to
postings are instantly available to buyers around the world with
user-friendly interfaces that provide robust search and transaction
management capabilities. The Carrier to Market Exchange supports global trade
lanes and is compliant with all relevant maritime authority regulations.

Mark Storen, CEO of JOC Exchange, said: "We are excited to welcome TCC
and JMC Global to JOC Exchange. We are energized that members of both the
carrier and NVOCC communities are eager to realize the benefits afforded by
our intelligent technology. Both companies will have their own Private Label
Exchanges and will be among the first participants on the Carrier to Market
Exchange."

Frank Kayser, COO of TCC, said: "We are partnering with the JOC Exchange
because its technology provides a highly efficient set of solutions for
managing the complex processes surrounding the selling and buying of
container slots. We are also confident in the JOC Exchange's ability to
deliver excellent support for our customers using this technology, enabling
our business to continue to grow while enhancing those customer
relationships."

John Crawley, President of JMC Global, said: "We love the JOC/JMC
Exchange platform. The system is slick and simple, and they understand the
industry. At JMC Global, our main focus is customer satisfaction and we have
chosen to partner with the JOC Exchange and UBM management because they 'get
it.' The management teams of both companies recognize that enhancing the
customer buying experience will have significant, positive business
implications for all concerned."

The timing for JOC Exchange technology platforms is ideal given the
growing interest in spot market transactions in the ocean transportation
sector. The company is in discussions with a number of other carriers and
NVOCCs who are interested in this technology and looking for quick adoption
of the service to provide liquidity for sellers and buyers.

Containerized ocean transport is a $200B industry and approximately 140
million TEU (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit) containers are transported by
vessel, annually.

JOC Exchange is headquartered in Denver, Colo. and will be opening
multiple offices in Europe and Asia in 2011.
