About this award
The Military Sealift Command (MSC), an organization within the Department of the Navy, awarded a $6.06M firm fixed-price purchase order to Fairwater Commercial Management LLC for a 75-day tanker time charter service. The contract, which was not set aside for small business, involves the charter of a Jones Act-compliant, U.S. flag Articulated Tug Barge (ATB) or Integrated Tug Barge (ITB) vessel with a minimum cargo capacity of 150,000 barrels. The vessel must be equipped with segregated ballast tanks and natural segregation capabilities to safely transport clean petroleum products, including military-grade fuels such as JA1, JP5, and F76. The charter period commenced in mid-July 2025, with pickup at Corpus Christi, Texas and redelivery in Houston, Texas, and the contract is scheduled for completion by October 27, 2025.
This procurement supports the Navy's logistics operations by ensuring adequate fuel transportation capacity for East Coast naval operations. MSC utilizes commercial time charters to supplement its organic fleet capabilities and meet fluctuating maritime transportation requirements. The Jones Act compliance requirement ensures the vessel operates under U.S. ownership and crewing standards, supporting domestic maritime interests while fulfilling the Department of Defense's fuel distribution needs across the Gulf Coast region and supporting facilities throughout the Naval logistics network.
