New AMO jobs aboard M/V Marilyn

| Sealift acquires bulk carrier from Overseas Shipholding Group |
|
Sealift Inc. recently completed a deal to acquire the M/V Overseas Marilyn from Overseas Shipholding Group (OSG). The ship will be renamed the M/V Marilyn and will be manned in all licensed positions by American Maritime Officers.
Sealift expects to take possession of the ship at the end of this month. The M/V Marilyn is the sister ship of the M/V Harriette, which Sealift purchased from OSG late last year. "They told us, if we like the Harriette, we're going to love the Marilyn," said John Raggio, president of Sealift Inc. When the M/V Marilyn joins the Sealift fleet, it will be the twelfth ship operated by the company under contract with AMO. The M/V Marilyn is a 25,541 dead-weight-ton bulk carrier and will operate in the PL-480 grain trade carrying U.S. food-aid cargoes. |
