Alliance Navigation LLC was established in 2005 to provide U.S. flag Roll-On Roll-Off ocean transport service to exporters and importers of wheeled cargo. The company specializes in the transport of rolling cargo such as automobiles, light and heavy duty trucks, SUV's, buses, trailers, road building equipment and trailered non rolling cargo.
Alliance Navigation provides monthly service to Mediterranean Sea ports, the Middle East region and the Far East before returning to the U.S. Other areas are considered based upon inducement. Direct regular service is offered to Umm Qasr, Iraq making for the fastest possible transit time (approximately 22 days from the U.S. East Coast). Since the inception of service we have continued to call at Umm Qasr, Iraq directly without delay or incident.
The three US flag vessels (m/v Alliance New York, m/v Alliance St. Louis and m/v Alliance Norfolk) are state-of-the-art RoRo vessels, each boasting four high/heavy decks capable of carrying heavy vehicles, helicopters, agricultural and construction equipment, mass transit equipment, and a variety of other cargo. The vessels boast over 54,000 square meters of total cargo space (over 580,000 square feet) each. Cargo up to 5 meters (16.4 feet)in height and 150 tons can be accommodated.
In addition to our three vessels additional US flag vessels are chartered when cargo opportunities warrant.
While a high percentage of U.S. flag required (US government impelled) cargo is moving to the Middle East, government impelled cargoes also move to other parts of the world. Alliance Navigation and its partners, Liberty Global Logistics and Maersk Lines Ltd., have teamed up to provide first class service to exporters, importers, freight forwarders and government agencies in need of such service.
Alliance Navigation offers a comprehensive range of services including ocean transportation, documentation, cargo inspection, inland haulage and technical services. These services are tailored to the specific requirements of our customers.
Alliance Navigation has a dedicated support staff with extensive experience in the shipping industry, to handle any and all customer requirements.
