Waterman Logistics (branded from Waterman Steamship Corporation and Waterman Transport/Central Gulf Lines) is a U.S.-flag maritime shipping and logistics company founded in 1919. It operates roll-on/roll-off (RORO) and multipurpose vessels and provides multimodal door-to-door logistics, vehicle and heavy-equipment transport, and government sealift services, including support for U.S. military deployments.
