Harley Marine changes name, owners

Harley Marine Services has changed its name to Centerline Logistics Corp to reflect the growing trend in vessel operators becoming logistics providers, following new ownership. CLC has gone through a major reorganization since mid-July. The company transports and stores petroleum products and other cargoes, assists and escorts ships, and provides rescue towage. Centerline’s senior VP of East and Gulf coast operations Kelly Moore explained the name change: “The center line of a marine vessel is a significant point of balance and one that represents strength for the broader hull of the vessel,” she said. “The company looked to select a name that would always remind it of its maritime history and experience.” (Source: Riviera Maritime 02/07/20) Harley Marine Gulf (HMG), the newest member of the Harley Marine Services family, provides petroleum transportation and bunker service along the U.S. Gulf Coast, including the ports of Houston, Galveston, Beaumont, Port Arthur in Texas, and Lake Charles and New Orleans, La.
