MARINE TRANSPORT CORPORATION (3).

The American Marine Transport Corporation emerged from the June 1998 combination of Marine Transport Lines and OMI. Richard du Moulin’s account traces his group’s purchase of Marine Transport Lines in 1989, followed by the OMI transaction: OMI acquired Marine Transport Lines, spun off its international business into a new OMI Corporation and renamed the remaining Delaware corporation Marine Transport Corporation. The source dates completion to 17 June 1998 and describes Marine Transport as the eventual successor to the Mallorys.

The American group included Marine Transport Lines, Intrepid Shipping, derived from OMI’s US-flag business, and MTL Petrolink, formerly OMI Petrolink. In 1999 a venture with Stolt-Nielsen bought two US-flag chemical tankers from Occidental Petroleum. Mormac’s ocean bulk businesses joined in 2000: crude-oil tanker management was combined with Marine Transport Lines, product tankers were pooled, and the government-vessel operation remained separate. Crowley acquired Marine Transport on 7 February 2001. Other interests recorded include Marine Transport Management, OMI Offshore Marine Services and Amazon Transport, the latter formed jointly with Bergesen in 1986.

The position after 2008 is unclear. By December 2012 Rosanoski found no continuing account beyond Crowley’s acquisition reference and MTL Petrolink’s Gulf of Mexico operations; the former company link no longer connected.
