USMMI is proud to announce the newest ship joining our fleet—the EVERGLADES TRADER! On 6 November, USMMI’s US crew joined the ship, proudly raised the U.S. Flag aboard the ship, and officially christened her as the EVERGLADES TRADER, a state-of-the-art 2022-built medium range product tanker ready to support global operations.
That momentum continued on 18 November, when the EVERGLADES TRADER joined Military Sealift Command’s chartered fleet—stepping in for the YOSEMITE TRADER. Her addition marks another stride forward in USMMI’s mission to deliver world-class service, reliability, and maritime excellence.
USMMI extends sincere appreciation to our valued partners at the United States Coast Guard, Lloyd’s Register, ABS and Military Sealift Command for their expertise and collaboration throughout the reflag Certificate of Inspection, transfer-of-class process, ISM audit and delivery.
Most importantly—a huge congratulations to the inaugural crew of the EVERGLADES TRADER. Your hard work, professionalism, and commitment made this transition not only possible, but exemplary.
Welcome aboard, EVERGLADES TRADER—your journey with USMMI begins now.
