Solomon to Power Passenger Ferries.

TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. -- Solomon Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:SOLM) announced today that it has been selected to propel the first pair of electric passenger ferries in the picturesque English Lake District. "This is the second set of tour boats to be powered by our system," said Dave Tether, the founder of Solomon. "Our first pair of tour boats have been ferrying passengers along a restored pre-Civil War canal in Augusta, Georgia. The first of these tour boats was launched in October, 2003 and the second followed in April, 2004. Both have provided flawless service."

The Coniston Launch Company of Cumbria will convert its two 40-foot traditional wooden launches from diesel propulsion to Solomon's 12 hp ST 74 Electric Drives. Coniston Launch owners Gordon and Margaret Hall are "delighted to have found the right solution with Solomon Technologies, and are very excited to be embarking on this endeavor using Solomon's propulsion system," said Gordon.

Nearby Lancaster University intends to provide onboard and remote data access to monitor the operating parameters of the boats and their advanced electrical systems for educational and promotional purposes. "It's a truly international effort," says Gordon, noting that the British-built boats will have generators made in Holland, electric drives from the US, and solar photovoltaic cells from Germany. "It's quite an undertaking for a small business like ourselves," he adds, "but someone has got to show that existing diesel craft can be successfully converted to quiet, clean, reliable, vibration-free power, and it might as well be us!"

David Tether commented, "We see the ferry transport industry as a prime market for our environmentally sound electric drive system and it opens the door further to the commercial marine industry. We conducted some of our early R&D in England on a traditional canal boat, and we welcome the opportunity to return with a commercial application. We are excited to see our acceptance in the industry continue to grow and look forward to expanding in this marketplace and in other marine applications."
