The M/V LTC John U.D. Page has entered service under a new Military Sealift Command charter prepositioning ammunition for the U.S. Army. The contract with Maersk Line Limited under this charter includes significant wage improvements for members of American Maritime Officers.
The M/V Page, manned in all licensed positions by AMO, has been operating in this prepositioning mission, and the new MSC charter extends the ship's service to the U.S. Army. If all options are exercised, the new contract will extend to four years plus the initial base period.
Under a separate procurement, Maersk Line Limited was awarded an MSC follow-on time charter for the M/V SSG Edward A. Carter Jr. to support the U.S. Army's prepositioning program. The M/V Carter, also manned in all licensed positions by AMO, will commence operations under the new charter and the same economic provisions as the M/V Page in mid-April 2011.
