This Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of Irena McLean, whose address is c/o McCullough, Goldberg & Staudt, LLP, 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 340, White Plains, NY 10605.
During the last five years, Ms. McLean has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Ms. McLean is a citizen of the United States.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Ms. McLean acquired beneficial ownership of 1,050,752 shares of the Common Stock when such shares were transferred to her by the executor of the estate of Malcom P. McLean, the founder and principal stockholder of the Issuer. The reported transaction occurred pursuant to a specific bequest in the late Mr. McLeans Will without any exchange of consideration.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
As described in Item 3 above, Ms. McLean acquired beneficial ownership of 1,050,752 shares of the Common Stock under the Will of the late Malcom P. McLean. Of the 1,050,752 shares, 300,752 shares were distributed directly to Irena McLean and John D. McCown as Trustees of the Trust for the Benefit of Her Nieces and Nephews Under Paragraph J of Article III of the Last Will and Testament of Malcom P. McLean (the Trust). Mr. McCown subsequently resigned as a Trustee of the Trust. Ms. McLean, either as direct owner or in her capacity as Trustee of the Trust, has sole voting and dispositive power over all 1,050,752 shares.
Ms. McLean presently intends to hold the shares of the Common Stock beneficially owned by herself for investment purposes. Ms. McLean may, at some future date, decide to make additional investments in shares of the Issuer's Common Stock for the same purpose, or may decide to sell or otherwise dispose of some or all of these shares.

(c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
(d) Any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;
(e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;
(f) Any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure;
(g) Any changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws, or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person;
(h) Causing a class of Common Stock of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted on an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;
(i) A class of equity Common Stock of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or
(j) Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
