U.S. Flag Fleet
Maersk Line, Limited (MLL) operates a total of 51 U.S. flag ships either in international commercial service or under contract with the U.S. government.
With 34 ships, MLL has the largest and most diverse U.S. flag commercial fleet in international trades. Our container, multi-purpose and tanker vessels provide unmatched flexibility and capacity to transport cargo for government and commercial customers anywhere in the world. We also offer roll-on/ roll-off vessels through our subsidiary, Farrell Lines. The majority of our ships sail on a weekly schedule but our multi-purpose vessels and tankers are available for time and voyage charters. Our vessels use innovative environmental technologies and operating practices to keep our air emissions lower than the container shipping industry average.
In addition, we currently operate, manage and maintain 17 ships for the U.S. government ships in preposition, special mission and surge sealift capacities. For more information, visit our Ship Management page.
