ARC Wins Time Charter from MSC
ARC, the largest U.S.-flag roll-on roll-off (Ro-Ro) carrier, said
that it was awarded a 38-day time charter contract by the U.S.
Navy's Military Sealift Command (MSC), for the charter of the M/V
Resolve.
The American Roll-on Roll-off Carrier (ARC) said in a press
release that approximately 65,000 square feet of military cargo
was loaded on to the M/V Resolve today by the 841st
Transportation Battalion in Charleston, South Carolina for onward
delivery to Ash Shuaiba, Kuwait.
Resolve is 623-foot long, American-flag, roll-on, roll-off vessel
enrolled in the Military Security Program (MSP).
MSP is a Defense Department program that maintains a fleet of
U.S.-flag, privately-owned ships that are also available to
provide capacity to meet military requirements during war and
national emergencies.
MSC operates around 125 non-combatant, civilian-crewed ships that
replenish U.S. Navy ships, conduct specialized missions,
strategically preposition combat cargo at sea around the world
and move military cargo and supplies used by deployed U.S. forces
and coalition partners.
