From Classic Elite's Instruction Manual

MORAY STARBOAT
Developed initially as a submarine flying boat, Marine Trench Co. soon saw the possibilities for extending their operations into space and the Moray SFB became the "Star Boat" after its ingenious adaptations were completed. Aquatic space-faring races are the main users of this multi=purpose vehicle ...

From the Timeline - Syncretist (ie amalgamating histories of Elite, Oolite, FE2, FFE & E:D). Purists might well reject this.

3028 Moray 'Starboat' is produced by Marine Trench Co., Earth.
For nit-pickers: note that Earth is left out of the corresponding Oolite timeline!
