Copenhagen, Denmark - October 16, 2002 - INTTRA (www.inttra.com), the leading provider of business-to-business ocean freight transportation services, today announced the completion of its integration with Ocean World Lines, (www.oceanworldlines.com), one of the world's largest full container load (FCL) non-vessel operating common carriers (NVOCC). The integration with INTTRA is bringing productivity efficiencies, streamlined processes, and standardized data quality to Ocean World Lines' (OWL) European and North Atlantic ocean going trade transportation services. OWL plans a subsequent expansion of INTTRA's services into Central and South America, the Far East, and other trade lanes.

By connecting to INTTRA, OWL has selected the leading industry ocean portal to manage single-point connectivity to the entire network of INTTRA ocean carriers, which collectively covers almost 50 percent of all container traffic.
