First Class Navigation Corporation Corrects Ownership Information

ATHENS, Greece, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- On January 9, 2008, First Class Navigation Corporation, a Marshall Islands corporation, filed a registration statement on Form F-1 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Mr. Politis-Kalenteris was formerly Treasurer of Elmira Shipping & Trading, but resigned his post in October 2007. He is currently the chief financial officer of First Class Navigation.
