American Roll-on Roll-off Carrier has expanded its Atlantic Service with the addition of a fifth ro-ro vessel, the Freedom, expanding its regular ports of call to include Galveston, Texas, and Veracruz, Mexico.
The Atlantic liner service will henceforth consist of five vessels on a 10-day frequency with a 50-day roundtrip duration. Regular port calls in the region will include Baltimore; Charleston, S.C.; Brunswick, Ga.; Galveston; Veracruz; Antwerp, Belgium; Bremerhaven, Germany; Southampton, England; and other ports served on an inducement basis.
ARC said the expansion will provide support to commercial partners and U.S. government customers in the U.S., Mexico, Europe and the U.K., with onward service available to the Mediterranean. The expanded product offering will also offer additional retrograde and redeployment capability for the Department of Defense through Europe and via the Northern Distribution Network.
