BODRUM, Turkey, September 28, 2010 - Aganlar Boatyard www.facebook.com/AganlarBoatyard is
close to completing a major extension of their well-established boat building
and re-fit yard in Bodrum and is working with Marine Trade Centre to
implement an integrated PR and marketing campaign. The purpose of the
campaign will be to highlight the unique new facilities and skills which
Aganlar is bringing to the superyacht refit market in the Eastern
Mediterranean.

Speaking at the Monaco Yacht Show Erdem Agan, one of the owners
of Aganlar, commented: "We have been building and re-fitting wooden and now
aluminium yachts for almost 50 years so we have a tremendous pool of talented
boat builders, designers and engineers here in Bodrum. We are investing EUR 5
million
in these facilities to enable us to compete with the best yards in
Europe but with the distinct advantage of a lower labour cost base. We are
delighted to be working with Marine Trade Centre who will help us to get this
message out to superyacht owners, managers, captains and designers."

Speaking for Marine Trade Centre Jonathan Bowker said:
"Aganlar is a first rate boatyard with an excellent reputation and I am sure
that the market will soon discover it to be a credible and cost-effective
centre for the refit and new build of yachts up to 55 metres. We are very
pleased to be helping Erdem and his team to spread the message."

Aganlar boatyard will shortly take delivery of its third
travel lift, the largest in the Eastern Mediterranean with a capacity of 11.5
metre beam, approximately 52 metre length and 450 tonnes displacement.
