JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 4, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blue Water Ventures International, Inc. (the "Company") (OTC trading symbol "BWVI") today announced that it is in negotiations with an unaffiliated R&D technology company to acquire a patent portfolio relating to its long-life battery and generator technology. Upon closing and final development, this technology could streamline the Company's underwater survey operations by enabling extremely long mission profiles. The Company is also assessing the application of this technology to other industries as well. The seller of this technology has preliminarily agreed to accept payment from the Company in the form of its securities rather than cash.
In a related development, the Company announced that it is in discussions with a renowned research university to further develop the technology that the Company seeks to acquire for use in Autonomous Underwater Vehicle ("AUV") and Remotely Operated Vehicle ("ROV") equipment used in underwater salvage and other related operations.
Both sets of discussions are in final stages, and are pending receipt of independent, certified, final valuation reports.
Keith Webb, the Company's President, stated, "We believe this proposed capability could dramatically reduce our survey costs and time required to conduct surveys, giving us more time to perform our recovery efforts."
Blue Water Ventures International, Inc. is a historic shipwreck research and recovery company that locates and recovers lost underwater treasures dated from pre-colonial times to our recent past.
