Marad awards disposal contracts
The Maritime Administration said Thursday it had released two disposal contracts for its James River Reserve Fleet, which is one of three National Defense Reserve Fleets (NDRF) anchorage sites.
International Shipbreaking Ltd. (ISL) of Brownsville, Texas, was awarded contracts for removing two ships from fleet, which is located at Fort Eustis, Va.
'These contracts are further evidence of our commitment to reduce the number of obsolete ships in our fleet as quickly, safely and efficiently as possible,' said acting Maritime Administrator John Jamian
