The fleet has ships from 12 to 39 years of age, includes two steamships, and three small ships under {{DWT|10,000|metric|disp=long}}. Separate from the main fleet, the company also owns the ex-US Navy MSC HSV-2 Swift. In 2015 Swift was sold to the United Arab Emirates' National Marine Dredging Company. On 1 October 2016, she was reported to have been severely damaged by an anti-ship missile in the Bab-el-Mandeb strait, off the coast of Yemen. Sealift Inc has collective bargaining agreements with the Seafarer's International Union and the American Maritime Officers union.[3] HistoryOriginally a shipbrokerage house specializing in paper, rice, and general cargo, Sealift Inc operated breakbulk liner services to the Mediterranean and from Brazil.[1] The company currently operates a fleet of twelve U.S.-Flag, ocean-going and is one of the largest ocean transportation contractors for U.S. Government Food Aid cargoes.[1] Sealift Inc. is one of the largest ocean contractors for transporting U.S. food aid and participates in the Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement.[2] This program, also known as VISA, supplies the Pentagon with private cargo vessels which it can use to support "contingency deployments."[2] The program saves the government the cost of maintaining a large fleet that would be idle in peacetime.[2] In 2003, the company was awarded an emergency three-month, $4 million contract from USAID to provide freight service to Iraq.[2] Between the beginning of fiscal year 2000 and the first quarter of fiscal 2008, Sealift Inc. was awarded US$ 402.15 million in 207 separate transactions.[4] $355.69 million was allocated from the Department of the Navy, $24.61 million from the U.S. Agency for International Development, and $21.85 million from the Department of the Army.[4] Fleet
The company's fleet has a capacity of over {{DWT|250,000|metric|disp=long}}.[17] The {{MV|Capt. Steven L. Bennett|T-AK-4296}} and {{MV|Maj Bernard F Fisher}} are the two largest at {{DWT|41,812|metric}} and {{DWT|34,100|metric}} respectively.[17] The company operates two small ships under {{DWT|10,000}}: the {{MV|Ascension}} and the {{MV|Sagamore}}.[17] The company previously owned and operated the oil tanker MT Montauk which carried jet fuel and other petroleum products between South Korea and Japan under a charter from Military Sealift Command.[18] but sold the ship to the Cypriot company Kalia Maritime Co. Ltd. on February 1, 2007.[19] As of 2015, HSV-2 Swift was reported to have been sold to the United Arab Emirates' National Marine Dredging Company. On 1 October 2016, the ship was attacked and seriously damaged off Yemen. Houthi rebels claimed the ship sank.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}} According to unnamed US Department of Defense officials, the damaged ship was being towed to Eritrea.[20] The vessel sustained serious damage to its bow, but remained afloat.[21] Notes1. ^1 2 Sealift Inc 2008, Home Page. 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{Cite web| title = Windfalls of War - The Center for Public Integrity | accessdate = 2007-10-08 | url = http://projects.publicintegrity.org/wow/bio.aspx?act=pro&ddlC=52 }} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.amo-union.org/newspaper/Morgue/11-2004/Sections/News/sagamore.htm |title=Non-union operator wins charter held by Sagamore |accessdate=2007-09-26 |author=American Maritime Officers |coauthors= |date=November 2004 |work=AMO Currents |publisher= |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060720230429/http://www.amo-union.org/Newspaper/Morgue/11-2004/Sections/news/sagamore.htm |archivedate=2006-07-20 |df= }} 4. ^1 2 USAspending.gov 2008, Contracts to SEALIFT HOLDINGS INC (FY 2000-2008). 5. ^1 2 3 4 Sealift Inc 2008, U.S. Flag Vessels. 6. ^{{csr|register=ABS|id=7719224|shipname=Advantage|accessdate=2007-10-10}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://absapps.eagle.org/safenet/record/record_vesseldetailsprinparticular?Classno=9339001&Accesstype=PUBLIC&ReferrerApplication=PUBLIC |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080514050534/http://absapps.eagle.org/safenet/record/record_vesseldetailsprinparticular?Classno=9339001&Accesstype=PUBLIC&ReferrerApplication=PUBLIC |dead-url=yes |archive-date=2008-05-14 |title=MV Ascension at American Bureau of Shipping |accessdate=2007-10-08 |format= |work=ABS Record |df= }} 8. ^{{csr|register=ABS|id=8403975|shipname=Capt.
