ARC Group added a large vehicle carrier, renamed ARC Freedom, to its U.S.-flagged fleet. The vessel, built in 2011 in South Korea, transferred from the Swedish flag and was previously operated by Wallenius Marine as the Figaro. ARC Group acquired the ship in June and it now supports the Maritime Administration’s Maritime Security Program, with AMO providing manning for the U.S. Government fleet.
