     Seaboard    Corporation,   a    Delaware    corporation
     ("Seaboard"),  on  behalf  of Transcontinental  Capital
     Corp.  (Bermuda) Ltd., a Bermuda corporation  ("TCCB"),
     hereby   files   with  the  Securities   and   Exchange
     Commission  (the "Commission") this Form  U-57  notice,
     claiming  exemption  for TCCB  as  a  "foreign  utility
     company" under Section 33 of the Public Utility Holding
     Company   Act   ("PUHCA").   TCCB  is  a   wholly-owned
     subsidiary  of  Seaboard Overseas  Limited,  a  Bahamas
     corporation,  which  is  a wholly-owned  subsidiary  of
     Seaboard.

Item  1:   The  Name  and Address of the Entity Claiming  Foreign
Utility  Company Status, its Business Address and Description  of
Utility Facilities:

     The name of the entity claiming foreign utility company
     status    under    Section   33(a)   of    PUHCA    is:
     Transcontinental  Capital  Corp.  (Bermuda)  Ltd.   The
     business  address is Calle Fantina Falco, #24, Edificio
     L.  Baez,  4TO,  Piso,  Ensanche Naeo,  Santo  Domingo,
     Dominican Republic.

     TCCB   currently  owns  and  operates  floating   power
     generating facilities capable of producing 40 megawatts
     of  power,  located in the Port of Rio Haino  in  Santa
     Domingo,  Dominican Republic.  TCCB recently contracted
     for  the  construction  and  acquisition  of  a  second
     floating power generating facility capable of producing
     71.2  megawatts of power, located in the Port of  Santo
     Domingo  (Ozama  River),  in Santo  Domingo,  Dominican
     Republic.   This  facility was completed  on  or  about
     August  2000 (construction in Singapore) and  installed
     (at  its  current  sight)  in  September  2000.   Power
     generated  at  all such facilities is  distributed  and
     sold entirely outside the United States.

To  the extent known, each person that holds five percent or more
of the voting securities of the foreign utility company:

     Seaboard   Overseas  Limited,  a  Bahamas   corporation
     ("SOL"),  owns  100  percent of  any  class  of  voting
     securities in TCCB.  Seaboard owns 100 percent  of  any
     class  of  voting securities of SOL.   TCCB  has  three
     wholly-owned  subsidiaries:  Seaboard Zambia,  Ltd.,  a
     Bermuda  corporation ("SZL"), National Milling  Company
     Limited,    a    Zambia   corporation   ("NMC"),    and
     Transcontinental Capital Corp. (Cayman) Ltd., a  Cayman
     Island  corporation  ("TCCC"),  (SZL,  NMC  and   TCCC,
     collectively,   hereinafter  referred   to   as   "TCCB
     Subsidiaries").

Item  2:   The  Name  of  any Domestic Associate  Public  Utility
company, its holding company and the purchase price paid by  such
domestic  public utility company for its interest in the  foreign
utility company.

     Neither  TCCB  nor  any  of the TCCB  Subsidiaries  are
     associate  companies, as defined  in  Section  2(a)  of
     PUHCA, of any domestic public utility company.


                            EXHIBIT A

The  requirement for State Commission certification set forth  in
Section  33(a)(2)  of  the  PUHCA  is  not  applicable  to   this
notification   because  neither  TCCB  nor  any   of   the   TCCB
Subsidiaries  are associate companies or affiliate  companies  of
any domestic public utility company.

The  undersigned  company has duly caused this  statement  to  be
signed   on   its  behalf  by  the  undersigned  thereunto   duly
authorized.
