Apex, NC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/22/2016 -- Blue Gas Marine, Inc. and Dusky Marine partner to introduce natural gas fuel options to the sport fishing boat market. A Dusky Marine 252 featuring the award winning Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuel-system technology from Blue Gas Marine, Inc. powering its Suzuki outboard motor will be on display at the Miami International Boat Show, Pier 1/Slip 137 February 11-15th for sea trials. This is the first factory built boat designed from the ground-up to seamlessly integrate the fuel system for the sport fishing market, while maximizing range.

"Dusky Marine has chosen to partner with Blue Gas Marine to facilitate bringing an eco-friendly natural gas hybrid power source to the sport fishing boat market. With the ability to switch from gasoline to a natural gas energy source on the fly, our customers can have a fuel source that is both wallet and environmentally friendly while maintaining the convenience of traditional gasoline when necessary. This hybrid system allows avid fisherman and boaters to significantly reduce their pollution output as well as their fueling costs, thereby allowing for more time on the water. It's a win all the way around." Michael Brown, Vice President, Dusky Marine, said.

The Dusky 252 Open Fisherman is a center console and was designed for the serious offshore fisherman who wants to enjoy the confidence afforded by the sturdy and dependable Dusky hull. The performance and economy of the 252 ensure maximized on-the-fish time. The high, dry sides, roomy interior and smooth ride make the Dusky 252 an offshore favorite. It is equipped with the Dusky Drive; a unique fiberglass outboard bracket with integrated swim/dive platform. The Dusky Drive improves maneuverability and stability to the boat while allowing a full transom for safety. Customers can outfit the boat with a wide variety of equipment from an extensive options list.

The Blue Gas Marine Natural Gas Fuel system has accumulated accolades since its first debut to the market in 2014. The technology holds the 2015 Top Product Award from Boating Industry and the 2015 IBEX Innovation Award. This award winning technology is available on the market for boaters looking to outfit their existing boats and engines with the fuel system and also for those looking to add the system to new boat purchases. Blue Gas Marine, Inc. can work with any boat manufacturer to add this system, such as Dusky Marine and others for new boats and most marine service centers for the retrofit of existing boats.

"We are excited to partner with such a great sport fishing boat manufacturer as Dusky Marine. This Dusky 252 will make a great showboat throughout the 2016 boat show season. We want everyone to come out and sea trial this boat and try the technology for themselves. It's seamless and meets our mission of allowing someone to boat more often by saving money in fuel and maintenance costs. We have also developed the fueling side of our business over the last 12 months eliminating any hesitation regarding fuel availability. We are excited to see the results in 2016." Miguel Guerreiro, President & CEO Blue Gas Marine, Inc. said.

The technology is proven to save more than 50% on the cost of fuel, with some customers saving up to 70% immediately by making the change. Blue Gas Marine, Inc. has also solved the problem of where to fill-up. The company provides four fueling solutions to ensure customers have the fuel when they need it. Blue Gas Marine, Inc. provides mobile fueling stations to areas where customers need the fuel. Customers also have the option for at home filling stations linked directly to the natural gas lines servicing their home from the utility service, removing the need to ever go through fill-up lines again; therefore spending more time on the water. In addition marinas/marine service centers in key markets in Florida, South Carolina and California are lined up to add the fuel on the water side-by-side with their other traditional fuels. Finally, the company can provide resources directing customers to the over 3,000 public CNG stations across the country that can accommodate boats on trailers.

Apex, NC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/01/2015 -- Blue Gas Marine, Inc., wins innovation award at the 2015 International Boat Builder's Exhibition and Conference (IBEX). The Company won the IBEX Innovation Award in the Environmental Award category for the Blue Gas Marine Natural Gas Hybrid Fuel System.

Blue Gas Marine, Inc. is the first in the nation to offer bi-fuel technology for boats to run on traditional fuel and also on natural gas, separately or together as a hybrid system. The add-on system solves the core/essential problem for boaters—high cost of fuel and maintenance and greatly reduces pollution, making it the cleanest option to run on traditional boat engines.

Some of the benefits of the add-on system include:

- 70% Less cost than gasoline
- 40% Less fuel used to go the same distance as gasoline
- 70% Reduction in air and water pollution
- Zero Carbon Deposits in the engine
- Eliminates all engine smoke and exhaust odor
- Fuel never goes bad unlike ethanol based fuels
- Fast payback on system from fuel savings

Blue Gas Marine, Inc. President & CEO, Miguel Guerreiro said, "It is great validation to win such a prestigious industry award at IBEX." Guerreiro went on to say, "My team has worked hard to develop and perfect the technology that is being adopted and already revolutionizing the boating world. To get the recognition from the industry experts that our product can single-handily make boating affordable again, and also much cleaner and with greater ease since you use the same combustion engines already available on the market today is an honor. Boaters no longer smell exhaust odor making it so much safer and more enjoyable to spend a day on the water. We are seeing marinas offering natural gas fuel on the water, people getting the systems to fill-up their boats at home and service centers doing local installations and maintenance. We are proud to be the leader bringing the on-board Natural Gas Hybrid fuel system and the fuel dispensing solutions to the industry nationwide and to some international locations."

Blue Gas Marine, Inc. focused the deployment of the system to those who are frequent boat operators such as commercial fishermen, law enforcement, charter boats, ferries, tugs, large ships, the military and recreational users. Since the technology is designed to be installed on most models of existing or new outboard, inboard and generator engines, the Blue Gas Marine system is applicable to the entire powerboat market, some sailing applications and house boats. The technology uses natural gas in the compressed (CNG) or liquefied (LNG) forms so the benefits for boaters is endless. The company has representatives in North Carolina, Florida, California and available along the eastern and western coast lines.

"One surprising area for application has been the houseboat market. We were able to expand our system to completely replace traditional fuel on houseboats. This clean and very affordable fuel can now run the propulsion engines, the power generators and even the cooking and heating units. Simply by installing our add-on system onto the existing engines and devices we make all the Gasoline systems and the Propane systems run all on Natural Gas. A single fuel for everything with phenomenal operating savings that usually pay for themselves in less than a year." Guerreiro said. "The other great application that has emerged is pontoons and wake surfing boats, which are great party and sport boats but even better now without any of the exhaust odor or smoke, which makes it the more enjoyable than ever to take the family on the water."

This award is not the first time that Blue Gas Marine, Inc. has garnered accolades – it won the North Carolina Technology Association (NCTA) 2014 Top 10 Startups to Watch Award and the 2015 Top Product Award from Boating Industry.

About Blue Gas Marine
Blue Gas Marine is poised for a very dynamic future with strong interest nationally and abroad as well as a growing network of dealers and fueling stations.

Apex, NC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/01/2015 -- Blue Gas Marine, Inc. has received the 2015 Top Product Award for its revolutionary natural gas hybrid fuel system, from highly respected, Boating Industry. Editors of Boating Industry Magazine selected the 2015 Top Products based on many factors, including innovation, impact on the industry, and how each product advanced its category – or created a new category.

The Blue Gas Marine, Inc. Natural Gas Hybrid Fuel System technology is the first of its kind in the marine industry. This technology is not only revolutionary it is a market creator and disruptive innovation in the marine industry. Blue Gas Marine, Inc. is the first in the nation to offer bi-fuel technology for boats to run on traditional fuel and also on natural gas, separately or together as a hybrid system. This natural gas technology is a new product category on its own, as there are no other products on the market providing this flexibility for customers. The system solves the core/essential problem for boaters—high cost of fuel and maintenance and greatly reduces pollution making it a much cleaner option that did not exist before.

Blue Gas Marine, Inc. President & CEO, Miguel Guerreiro said of the news, "It is great to be recognized by professionals in the industry especially from a publication as respected as Boating Industry Magazine." Guerreiro went on to say, "The Blue Gas Marine Natural Gas Hybrid Fuel system is something we've worked hard to develop to really benefit the world of boating and make a difference where it matters: protecting the environment and the pocket book, by cutting expenses associated with operating and enjoying a boat."

"When choosing the Top Products, we're looking for innovations that offer solutions. Fuel efficiency, and alternatives to traditional fuel, are huge issues in the boating industry. By giving boaters the option of natural gas or petroleum, the Blue Gas Marine system solves a key problem." said Jonathan Sweet, Editor in Chief Boating Industry.

Boaters know the largest expense in operating a boat is fuel and maintenance, and Blue Gas Marine Natural Gas Hybrid Fuel System cuts those costs by more than 50% while extending the life of engines. That is a significant savings for everyone but especially those who are frequent boat operators such as commercial fishermen, law enforcement, charter boats, ferries, tugs, large ships, the military and recreational users. Since the technology is designed to be installed on most models of existing or new outboard, inboard and generator engines the Blue Gas Marine system is applicable to the entire powerboat market, some sailing applications and even house boats. The technology uses natural gas in the compressed (CNG) or liquefied (LNG) forms so the impact for boaters is endless.

There are many benefits to boaters moving to this new technology. Boaters can save more than 50% on fuel immediately by making the change. The fuel savings cover the cost of the fuel system in under one year, for most frequent boaters. Additionally, this innovation extends the life of engines with zero carbon deposits in the engine due to 100% smoke elimination. Also, it eliminates the issue with using fuel containing ethanol and all the issues this harmful additive has on engines. The system reduces air and water pollution by 70% overall and eliminates all engine exhaust and odor along with all Sulfur Oxides and other carcinogenic substances.

It will also positively impact boaters and the marine industry in general by meeting and exceeding the regulatory requirements of emissions laws, which require cleaner operations. Further, the Blue Gas Marine Natural Gas Hybrid Fuel System eliminates all on-the-water fuel spill impact.

The system also serves as a great safety function, as the Natural Gas fuel system is completely independent from the Gasoline system, never sharing any lines or components, thus ensuring that a boat is never dead on the water even when the gasoline system fails. In this case you simply crank on Natural Gas and come home, then repair the malfunction later without being vulnerable to weather or sea conditions. Having the ability to cut fuel cost and maintenance expense is the driving force for people making the change to utilize the hybrid fuel system but also enjoying all the extra benefits just adds even more value.

This award is not the first time that Blue Gas Marine, Inc. has garnered accolades – it won the North Carolina Technology (NCTA) 2014 Top 10 Startups to Watch Award. Blue Gas Marine is poised for a very dynamic future with strong interest nationally and abroad as well as a growing network of dealers and fueling stations.

Blue Gas Marine, Inc.'s proprietary technology allows any boat engine to add a hybrid system that also runs on natural gas. Imagine a world where boating is cheaper and much cleaner. In today's marketplace traditional fuels such as gasoline and diesel see major price fluctuations, but natural gas has price stability and is a domestically produced fuel that is very affordable and becoming more and more readily available. In an industry where fifteen of the largest boats in the world account for more pollution than all the cars in the world combined, moving the marine industry to a cleaner fuel for all size vessels is a worthy initiative.

To celebrate this achievement Blue Gas Marine has launched an East Coast Boat Tour from North Carolina to Florida's east and west coasts. The Tour will feature demos and boat rides of the Intrepid 327CC equipped with the Blue Gas Marine Natural Gas Fuel system at major boating cities along the coast. Follow the tour on the Company's Facebook page.

Apex, NC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/22/2015 -- Blue Gas Marine, Inc. is kicking off an East Coast Tour with the Intrepid Powerboat 327CC featuring the Blue Gas Marine Natural Gas fuel system. The kickoff event is April 23-26, in Ocean Isle Beach, NC at Jimmy's Marine, one of Blue Gas Marine's authorized dealers. The boat tour will allow boaters all along the coast from North Carolina to Florida to do test rides on the boat and experience the cutting edge technology first hand.

Miguel Guerreiro, President & CEO said, "We are really excited about this East coast tour. We want to make as many marine stops as time allows as we make our way all the way down to Miami, FL. This is a great chance for those that didn't make a boat show to really get to see the technology on the boat and take it for a test ride so they can really see how the system works seamlessly on the boat."

Blue Gas Marine, Inc., recognized by NCTA as a Top 10 Start-Up to Watch in 2014, has been busy on the boat show circuit this season debuting this technology at Fort Lauderdale, followed by Miami and most recently the Palm Beach show. The company is growing and expanding its network of authorized dealers and natural gas fueling stations all along the Intercostal Waterway.

The company recognized the importance of not only creating a natural gas fuel system for boats but also the critical need to get the fuel to the boaters making the change. The company has partnered with a natural gas station builder to kick start getting the fuel on the water in critical areas long the waterway, ensuring Blue Gas Marine customers have plenty of filling options.

The Blue Gas Marine Natural Gas system is a game changer for the industry and allows boaters more options to extend the distance and life of their boat while saving money in the process. The plug-and-play system is installed at a certified facility like Jimmy's Marine in NC. The work is performed by trained marine mechanics and then quality tested by a Blue Gas Marine engineer before commissioning the boat back to the customer ready to hit the water within about 2 days. The installation's time is so short because the system comes fully assembled and ready for installation from the Blue Gas Marine headquarters, customized to each specific boat and engine specification, making the addition of natural gas to any boat a cost effective task while customers experience a much lower cost of operation and eliminate all smoke and exhaust odor.

"This is going to be a great event and we are proud to be a Blue Gas Marine Authorized dealer here in North Carolina. This product is definitely making a change in how people think about boating and it creates an opportunity as the owner of a marine service center to offer new technology and expand my business and customer base." said Jimmy Sasser, Owner Jimmy's Marine.

Apex, NC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/18/2015 -- Blue Gas Marine, Inc., is expanding its network of authorized dealers and natural gas fueling station locations to ensure the Blue Gas Marine natural gas hybrid fuel system is readily available where it is in demand. Blue Gas Marine, Inc. is the emerging green-energy corporation dedicated to make natural gas available for boats, as a clean and affordable fuel. The Company, headquartered in Apex, North Carolina, makes natural gas hybrid fuel-systems for existing gasoline and diesel engines and also makes the fuel available where boaters need it. The onboard fuel system is designed to be installed on existing outboard/inboard engines and uses natural gas in the compressed (CNG) or liquefied (LNG) forms. The system is an add-on that enables any boat to use natural gas without disruption to its existing fuel system, thereby cutting the cost of fuel and turning the boat cleaner and greener. The company markets its hybrid fuel-systems and natural gas fuel to frequent boat operators such as commercial fishermen, charter boats, ferries, tugs, large ships, the military and recreational users.

Dealers can see the natural gas fuel system first hand at the upcoming Palm Beach International Boat Show March 26-29, at the Intrepid Powerboat slip 7 Ramps 761-764. The full system is installed on the Intrepid Powerboat 327CC. The Blue Gas Marine team will be on hand to talk in detail about the system and provide more information for Dealers.

Miguel Guerreiro, company President and CEO, said, "We have a growing demand for our natural gas fuel system so now we are looking to expand our network of authorized dealerships and fueling station locations. We partner with marinas and marine service centers, who we train and certify, to perform the installations of our natural gas systems. Many of these locations also serve as fueling stations on the water and near water for dry stacks as well. This is really a great opportunity for marinas and marine service centers to grow right along with us, and we are excited about that."

Blue Gas Marine's ideal partners are marinas with boats stored on site wet/dry and marine service centers with the ability to perform installations, which Blue Gas Marine, Inc. trains and certifies. Each authorized dealer will have a demo boat running on the natural gas fuel system, be trained and certified by Blue Gas Marine, Inc., have the ability to dispense the fuel on the water via one of the fueling solutions and be warranty servicers for one or more engine brands. The Company is looking to expand operations in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Texas, and California specifically, and across the US in general. To be an authorized dealer, a Marina or Marine Service Center can contact Blue Gas Marine at sales@bluegasmarine.com.

Blue Gas Marine, Inc. has multiple fueling options for partners to consider including: on-site fixed fuel station with piped natural gas provided by the utility company or mobile fuel stations to dispense fuel at that location. Dealers can continue to do installations without a filling station on-site as some locations are already served by public CNG stations and private CNG stations that share their facility with Blue Gas Marine customers. Also the Company makes available a fill-at-home Natural Gas dispenser. With so many different types of fueling options and locations, Blue Gas Marine, Inc. is making it easier for boaters to adopt Natural Gas as a marine fuel and open the market for dealers to prosper.

Most boat installations can be completed within 8-20 hours depending on the configuration of the installation for the Blue Gas Marine natural gas system and some require fiberglass work. Blue Gas Marine, Inc. is currently offering the new system to gasoline boats with planned expansion to diesel boats. Also, there are federal and state incentives in the form of quarterly rebates, tax credits, and reimbursements that allow for both fueling infrastructure and on-board fuel system installations to recoup a significant portion of the initial cost.

About Blue Gas Marine, Inc.
Blue Gas Marine, Inc. is committed to assist all authorized dealers with marketing, media attention, sales events on site, in their area and at boat shows, along with directing customers from their area to them for the installations.

Operating on natural gas cuts the fuel expenses by more than 50%, while also extending the life of engines. In most states, boaters will be able to take advantage of the Natural Gas available to fuel up at $1.50 per gasoline gallon equivalent. The flexibility offered by operating a Blue Gas Marine hybrid fuel system, that switches between fuels instantly and on-demand, reduces the risk of making the change, as the boats remain operational, even when taken to areas where natural gas supply is initially not available. The fuel savings cover the cost of the fuel system in under one year, for most frequent boaters. The addition of a Blue Gas Marine hybrid fuel system increases safety and security for boaters, if the original fuel system fails the natural gas fuel system can see the boater to safety alleviating the need for towing.

Blue Gas Marine is taking orders for the new hybrid and dedicated fuel systems and expanding throughout 2015. Interested dealers, customers and investors can learn more at BlueGasMarine.com, Sales@bluegasmarine.com and through its https://www.facebook.com/BlueGasMarineInc">Facebook and Linked-In pages.

The Intrepid 327 Center Console boat will be on display at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat show in October. The BlueGas Natural Gas Hybrid is the first technology of its kind and it was developed by Blue Gas Marine, Inc., which is based in Apex, NC.

Boats equipped with Blue Gas Marine natural gas hybrid fuel-systems can operate on natural gas or as a hybrid that carries natural gas and a traditional fuel like gasoline. This system allows a boat operator to switch between the two fuels on-demand and at any speed with the press of a button. This technology provides tremendous value to boaters everywhere since operating on Natural Gas is 50% to 70% less expensive than gasoline and its performance is the same or better than gasoline's. Blue Gas Marine, Inc. is now developing a network to distribute the natural gas fuel to boaters ensuring the fuel is readily available to those making the change. Boaters can even fill-up at home or from any building equipped with Natural Gas.

Intrepid is a semi-custom powerboat builder that began in 1983 and builds about 12 different models from 24-47 feet. Every boat built is presold and designed a la carte per customer to their needs. Intrepid is considered the highest quality and most innovative outboard boat builder in the world and is eager to once again be the first in this innovative project with partners at Blue Gas Marine. Customers can now order factory ready boats featuring Blue Gas Marine, natural gas hybrid fuel systems.

"I am very excited about the possibilities that a project like this brings by being able to bring such a clean energy to a recreational industry that makes its living from a natural resource like water." Ken Clinton, President, Intrepid Powerboats, said.

The Blue Gas Marine natural gas hybrid fuel system is designed to be installed on existing or new outboards, inboards and generator engines and uses natural gas in the compressed (CNG) or liquefied (LNG) forms. The company markets its hybrid fuel-systems and natural gas fuel to frequent boat operators such as commercial fishermen, charter boats, ferries, tugs, large ships, the military and recreational users.

There are many benefits to boaters moving to this new technology. Boaters can save more than 50% on fuel immediately by making the change. On boats that have a 230 gallon tank like the Intrepid 327 it currently costs about $1150 to fill-up, based on $5 gasoline, with natural gas the cost is only about $345 when filled at home or $575 when filled at most public CNG Gas Stations and Marinas offering the fuel. These savings have a direct impact on high-fuel-usage boaters, many of whom rely on their boat for business. The fuel savings cover the cost of the fuel system in under one year, for most frequent boaters.

The new BlueGas Natural Gas Hybrid fuel system is an excellent option for boaters trying to avoid gasoline with ethanol, now that most gasoline blends have at least 10% ethanol added, which is detrimental to marine engines. The performance of natural gas on a boat is the same or better than with its original fuel, with the added benefit that natural gas emissions are 90% cleaner (green alternative fuel) than diesel and 70% cleaner than gasoline and do not produce any exhaust odor or smoke. Additionally, this innovation will also positively impact boaters and the marine industry in general by meeting and exceeding the regulatory requirements of upcoming emissions law, for certain displacement-size engines ahead of the stringent regulations coming into effect in 2015 and 2016, which require cleaner operations.

Miguel Guerreiro, Blue Gas Marine President & CEO, said, "We are glad to partner with such an innovative company like Intrepid Powerboats. They like to lead the market in innovation and we are trail blazing with new technology, which will revolutionize boating. It is a great partnership and one that I know boaters will be excited about. Boaters can do more of what they love and save money in the process by getting the most affordable and cleanest fuel alternative than any other on the market today."

Apex, NC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/09/2014 -- Blue Gas Marine, Inc. is making natural gas boating a reality in the marine industry by introducing technology to allow boats to run on clean, natural gas. Blue Gas Marine, Inc., incorporated in 2012, is the emerging green-energy corporation dedicated to make natural gas available for boats, as a clean and affordable fuel. The company, headquartered in Apex, North Carolina, makes natural gas hybrid fuel-systems for existing Gasoline and Diesel engines and also makes the fuel available where boaters need it. This system is designed to be installed on existing outboard, inboard and generator engines and uses natural gas in the compressed (CNG) or liquefied (LNG) forms. The company markets its hybrid fuel-systems and natural gas fuel to frequent boat operators such as commercial fishermen, charter boats, ferries, tugs, large ships, the military and recreational users. As the first company of its kind to enter the market in the United States, Blue Gas Marine, Inc. is uniquely positioned to lead the market.

Natural gas has been available for automobiles for years, the same is not true for boats, until now. Blue Gas Marine, Inc. solved the unique challenges of marine engine operation with patent pending proprietary technology to make computer-controlled gaseous fuel systems for marine engines. Blue Gas Marine has partnered with leading companies that specialize in natural gas fuel storage, to offer a complete fuel-system that enables any gasoline or diesel engine to work as a hybrid using natural gas, either LNG or CNG. Essentially, a boat with a Blue Gas Marine hybrid fuel-system can operate only on natural gas or as a hybrid that carries natural gas and a traditional fuel like Gasoline and can switch between the two on-demand. Additionally, Blue Gas Marine, Inc. will develop a network and distribute the natural gas to boaters to ensure the fuel is readily available to those making the change.

Miguel Guerreiro, company CEO and Founder, said, "We have a passion for boating. That passion drives our mission to "Boat more often," we do this by providing innovative marine fuel-system solutions for marine propulsion and on-board power generation that are cleaner and significantly more affordable to operate than any other in the market. As an avid fisherman, I know the cost of fuel is the largest operating expense, so focusing on creating technology that makes boats run on natural gas and distributing this fuel to boaters allows people to do more of what they love. Our solutions enable boats to maintain traditional engine performance and reduce emissions, while customers pay less to become green. It's a win-win for boaters and the environment."

Operating on natural gas cuts the fuel expenses by more than 50%, while also extending the life of engines. In most states, boaters will be able to take advantage of the Natural Gas available to fuel up at $1.50 per gasoline gallon equivalent, and the company is also set to make the fuel available at marinas. The flexibility offered by operating a Blue Gas Marine hybrid fuel system, that switches between fuels instantly and on-demand, reduces the risk of making the change, as the boats remain operational, even when taken to areas where natural gas supply is initially not available. The fuel savings cover the cost of the fuel system in under one year, for most frequent boaters.

This innovation will also positively impact boaters and the marine industry in general by meeting and exceeding the regulatory requirements of upcoming emissions law, for certain displacement-size engines ahead of the stringent regulations coming into effect in 2015 and 2016, which require cleaner operations.
