Farrell Lines

Farrell Lines, Incorporated is a U.S.-based shipping company specializing in roll-on/roll-off (RO/RO) cargo transportation, offering robust logistics services primarily supporting U.S. military operations. Founded in 1925 as the American South African Line and later renamed Farrell Lines in 1948 to reflect its expanded African routes, the company has evolved to adapt to industry changes, including transitioning to containerized cargo and navigating financial and operational challenges. Following its acquisition by P&O Nedlloyd in 2000 and subsequent merger with Maersk in 2005, the Farrell Lines brand was revitalized in 2010 to focus on RO/RO services while continuing partnerships with Höegh Autoliners and Alliance Navigation. Today, it operates a fleet of U.S.-flagged vessels under government programs such as the Maritime Security Program (MSP) and Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement (VISA), contributing to national defense logistics and maintaining its position in international ocean transportation, highlighting its commitment to supporting global trade and commerce.
