About Patriot Maritime

Patriot Contract Services, LLC is a leading maritime contractor to the U.S. Government, managing and operating vessels. PCS currently manages three Ready Reserve Force (RRF) ships for the United States Maritime Administration (MARAD); eight Watson class Large Medium Speed RO-RO vessels for the United States Navy, Military Sealift Command (MSC); one special mission ship for MSC; and a shallow draft tanker for Schuyler Line Navigation Company. PCS also provides crew-members for vessels operated by Kwajalein Range Services and other ship operators. PCS has managed a wide range of vessel types for MARAD and MSC, including RO-RO vessels, LASH vessels, and general cargo vessels, powered by steam propulsion, slow speed diesels, medium speed diesels, and gas turbines. PCS maintains a network of highly experienced mariners and vessel managers who are capable of skillfully operating a wide range of vessels used for both rapid military support and active special military operations. PCS has a conducted over 40 on-time vessel activation's for the US Government fleets. These activation's often occur with no advance notice, to test PCS’s ability to respond rapidly to the needs of the US Military. In each case we leveraged our experience, skilled staff, effective work processes and efficient structure to fulfill all commitments and requirements and ensure that the vessels were ready for full operations in the allotted time. PCS's methodology for ship operations is based on the international model for ship management. This model is founded upon a qualified well-trained shipboard management team and crew. This professional, sea-going cadre is supported by a core team of shore side professionals dedicated to a specific group or fleet of ships, which in turn is supported by a well-trained, experienced administrative staff and sophisticated information technology systems.
