MAKING PROGRESS POSSIBLE:
CATERPILLAR® FEATURES WIZARD CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN AT 2008 INTERNATIONAL WORKBOAT SHOW

Caterpillar Marine Power Systems is proud to host Captain Keith Colburn at the International WorkBoat Show in New Orleans, Louisiana, on December 3 and 4, 2008. This is the largest commercial marine tradeshow in North America, a credential event attended by thousands each year.

As the owner of the premier crab vessel, the F/V Wizard, Captain Keith has always relied on the five Cat® engines on board to power his vessel through the nastiest conditions the Bering Sea can dish out. "Under continuous operation and load for months at a time, I count on the reliability and endurance of Cat engines," Captain Keith explains. "Cat engines are the heart and soul and driving force behind the Wizard's success year in and year out."

While at the WorkBoat show, Captain Keith will present to exhibition visitors about "How Caterpillar Helps Him 'Make Progress Possible' in the Bering Sea" at 1:00 PM on December 3 and 4. Following the presentation, Captain Keith will be available in the Caterpillar booth for an autograph signing session.

From the entrance of Hall A, exhibition visitors will be mesmerized by an 18 foot (5.5 meter) tall waterfall at the Caterpillar booth. Beyond this eye catching display, the visitor will be drawn to a 30-foot (9-meter) long graphic depicting "Making Progress Possible," the booth theme this year. From the unveiling of the C6.6 Genset at the front of the booth, the visitor will progress through a series of customer solution kiosks to our 3516C propulsion engine.

Caterpillar will convey an increased focus on customer solutions through five kiosks as Caterpillar is dedicated to offering not only new products, but supporting the product through the life of the engine. Also new to the Caterpillar floor will be an interactive touch screen display, which will feature five Caterpillar factory videos, customer testimonials as well as a spotlight of ten Cat dealers.

Caterpillar is committed to "Making Progress Possible" through our continued contributions to worldwide progress by driving positive and sustainable change. The Caterpillar booth is demonstrating sustainability by having at least 85% of the booth, graphics and displays re-usable for future Caterpillar shows.

Caterpillar Marine Power Systems is proud to sponsor Captain Keith Colburn and to power the Wizard on its journeys throughout the Bering Sea. Come visit the Caterpillar Marine Power Systems booth at the International WorkBoat Show - Booth #721 / 821 in Hall A.
