The M/V Everglades Trader, a chemical and oil products tanker, was reflagged into the United States registry on November 6 in Singapore by U.S. Marine Management, LLC (USMMI), bringing new job opportunities for the members of American Maritime Officers. The 182-meter long tanker was built in 2022 and will replace the Yosemite Trader, which had been on long term charter to Military Sealift Command.
AMO members who assisted in the reflag of the Everglades Trader in Singapore included Master James Very, Chief Mate Cullen Bozza, Chief Engineer Tom Balzano and FIrst Assistant Engineer Michael Raymond.
