The M/V LTC John U.D. Page will continue prepositioning ammunition for the U.S. Army under a new charter awarded to Maersk Line Limited by Military Sealift Command.
The M/V Page, manned in all licensed positions by American Maritime Officers, currently serves this mission. Work under the new MSC contract is scheduled to commence in August 2010. If all options are exercised, the new contract will extend to four years plus an initial base period.
"The outcome of the RFP and award process is always unpredictable, and we're very pleased the M/V Page and the AMO officers onboard will continue their excellent service in this mission for the Army," said AMO National Executive Vice President Bob Kiefer.
