If your proxy card is signed and returned without specifying a vote or an abstention on any proposal, it will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors on each proposal. The expense of soliciting proxies, including the cost of preparing, assembling and mailing this proxy material to shareholders, will be borne by the Company. It is anticipated that solicitations of proxies for the Meeting will be made only by use of the mails; however, the Company may use the services of its Directors, Officers and Employees to solicit proxies personally or by telephone without additional salary or compensation to them. Brokerage houses, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to forward the proxy soliciting materials to the beneficial owners of the Company’s shares held of record by such persons, and the Company will reimburse such persons for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in that connection.
The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that are likely to be brought before the meeting other than those specified in the notice thereof. If any other matters properly come before the meeting, however, the persons named in the enclosed proxy, or their duly constituted substitutes acting at the meeting, will be authorized to vote or otherwise act thereon in accordance with their judgment on such matters. If the enclosed proxy is properly executed and returned prior to voting at the meeting, the shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. In the absence of instructions, executed proxies will be voted “FOR” the five nominees for the Board of Directors. Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast.
All shares represented by valid proxies will be voted in accordance therewith at the Meeting. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote and there is no cumulative voting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted only for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present. A copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/Afor the year ended December 31, 2009 is being mailed simultaneously herewith.
Cost of Solicitation
The Company is soliciting proxies on its own behalf and will bear the expenses of printing and mailing this proxy statement. The Company will also request persons, firms and corporations holding shares in their own names, or in the names of their nominees, which shares are beneficially owned by others, to send this proxy material to and obtain proxies from such beneficial owners and will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses in so doing.
Advice to Beneficial Owners of Certain Shares
Shareholders who do not hold their shares in their own name should note that only proxies from Shareholders whose names are registered as Shareholders on the records of the Company can submit the attached proxy or be recognized and vote at the Meeting. If a Shareholder's shares are registered under the name of a broker, financial institution or other agent, (a Beneficial Owner) then these shares can only be voted by the holding broker, financial institution or other agent. Such broker, financial institution or other agent are provided with sufficient copies of this Proxy Statement and the Annual Report to forward such materials to the Beneficial Owner. The broker, financial institution or other agent should provide the Beneficial Owner with instructions on how to submit the vote of their shares. In the event a Beneficial Owner wishes to attend and vote their shares at the Meeting, the Beneficial Owner must obtain a proxy from the broker, financial institution or other agent.
Shares Outstanding and Voting Rights
Only shareholders of record at the close of business on August 30, 2010 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Director Independence
The Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that each of the following three individuals meets the requirements of Director Independence under the AMEX Rules: Xiaochuan Li, Changhu Xue and Honkau Wan. As part of the Board’s process in making such determination, each such Director provided confirmation that (a) all of the objective criteria for independence are satisfied and (b) each such Director has no other relationship with the Company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a Director.
Independent Directors
The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that three of its five members, constituting a majority, meet AMEX’s standards for independence. See “Director Independence” above.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee consists of Honkau Wan, Xiaochuan Li, and Changhu Xue. The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that all members of the Audit Committee meet the standards of independence required of Audit Committee members by applicable AMEX and United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) rules and regulations. See “Director Independence” above.
The Board of Directors has determined that: (i) none of the members of the Audit Committee has participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiary of the Company at any time during the past three years; (ii) all of the members of the Audit Committee are able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement; and (iii) Honkau Wan is an Audit Committee financial expert.
The Audit Committee operates under a formal written charter adopted by the Board of Directors that governs its duties and conduct. The charter is reviewed annually for appropriate revisions. A copy of the charter is enclosed herewith. Copies of the charter can also be obtained free of charge by contacting the Company’s Secretary at the address appearing on the first page of this proxy statement.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm reports directly to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee met with the accounting firm and reviewed the latest annual report, fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The Audit Committee meets with management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm before the filing of officers’ certifications with the SEC to receive information concerning, among other things, any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting.
Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee consists of Xiaochuan Li and Changhu Xue. All members of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee have been determined to meet AMEX’s standards for independence. See “Director Independence” above. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee operates under a formal written charter that governs its duties and standards of performance. The charter is reviewed annually for appropriate revisions. Copies of the charter can be obtained free of charge by contacting the Company’s Secretary at the address appearing on the first page of this proxy statement.
As part of its duties, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for nominating directors and setting policies and procedures for the nomination of directors as well as overseeing the creation and implementation of the Company’s corporate governance policies and procedures. The Company does not have procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors.
To be considered for membership on the Board of Directors, a candidate should meet the following criteria, at a minimum: a solid education, extensive business, professional or academic experience, and the requisite reputation, character, skills and judgment, which, in the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee’s view, have prepared him or her for dealing with the multifaceted financial, business and other issues that confront a Board of Directors of the Company. Pursuant to the above procedures, once the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has identified prospective nominees, background information will be solicited on the candidates, following which they will be investigated, interviewed and evaluated by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, which will then report to the Board of Directors.
All nominees for election at this Annual Meeting are current members of the Board standing for re-election.
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee consists of Xiaochuan Li and Changhu Xue. All members of the Compensation Committee have been determined to meet AMEX’s standards for independence. See “Director Independence” above. Further, each member is a “non-employee Director,” as defined under Rule 16b-3(b)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and an “outside Director” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.162-27, promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Compensation Committee operates under a formal written charter adopted by the Board of Directors that governs its duties and conduct. The charter is reviewed annually for appropriate revisions.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, working with the Company’s senior management, develops and implements the Company’s executive compensation policies based on the Company’s financial and operating performance and prospects, the level of compensation paid to similarly situated executives in comparably sized companies, and contributions made by the officers to our success. The Compensation Committee conducts its review of executive performance and compensation on an annual basis. Each of the named officers will be measured by a series of performance criteria. Such criteria will be set forth based on certain objective parameters such as job characteristics, required professionalism, management skills, interpersonal skills, related experience, personal performance and overall corporate performance.
The Company’s compensation program for executive officers and all other employees is designed such that it will not incentivize unnecessary risk-taking. The base salary component of the Company’s compensation program is a fixed amount and does not depend on performance. The Company’s cash incentive bonuses for Mr. Pengfei Liu and Mr. Weipeng Liu are based on a fixed formula based upon our PBT, where “PBT” refers to the audited combined profit from our operations and before income tax and before any dividend distribution (excluding non-recurring exceptional items and extraordinary items) and before minority interests for the relevant financial year. Incentive bonuses for other officers and employees take into account multiple metrics, thus diversifying the risk associated with any single performance metric, and the Company believes it does not incentivize executive officers to focus exclusively on short-term outcomes.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
No member of the Compensation Committee is or has ever been an officer or employee of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. None of the Company’s executive officers served as a director or member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing similar functions) of any entity of which a member of the Company’s Compensation Committee was an executive officer, nor did any of the Company’s executive officers serve as a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing similar functions or, in the absence of such a committee, the entire board of directors) of any entity for which any of the Company’s Directors served as an executive officer.
Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation Committee of the Company has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009 enclosed herewith.
Code of Ethics
The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that includes provisions, portions of which are intended to meet the definition of a “code of ethics” under applicable SEC rules. The Company filed a copy of its Code of Ethics with the SEC that applies to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, as an exhibit to its annual report. A copy of the Code of Ethics can be obtained free of charge from the Company’s web site, www.china-marine.cn.
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s officers and Directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Such persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on the Company’s review of the copies of such forms received by the Company with respect to fiscal year 2009 or written representations from certain reporting persons during the year ended December 31, 2009, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to the Directors, officers and greater than 10% stockholders were complied with by such persons.
