History
She was built in 2004 by STX Offshore & Shipbuilding Jinhae-gu, South Korea,[1][2] originally with a red hull and registered in Norway as the MT Jutul.[4][7] In 2011, Maersk won a long-term contract to supply Thule AFB, in Greenland and McMurdo Station, in Antarctica, and the Maersk Peary was reflagged as an American vessel and painted blue, sailing with an American crew.[3] The vessel was then leased to the Military Sealift Command.[5]
