The Military Sealift Command awarded a $7.76 million firm fixed-price definitive contract to Waterman Transport Inc. (operating as Central Gulf Lines) on January 15, 2026, for a 43-day dry cargo time charter of a roll-on/roll-off vessel. The procurement, which was not set-aside for small businesses, supports the Department of Defense's global logistics operations by transporting approximately 240,000 square feet of military cargo, including tracked and wheeled vehicles and breakbulk items, from Charleston, South Carolina to Subic Bay, Philippines, with a scheduled layday window of February 4–8, 2026. Waterman Transport performed the work directly through its own maritime operations without disclosed major subcontractors, leveraging its extensive experience in military sealift operations.
