Built by Main Iron Works in 1976 for Interstate Oil Transport as the Ambassador, she's rated at 3,900 hp.
Interstate Oil had two fleets, their Northeast Fleet ( Green Fleet ) operated in Philadelphia, PA. And a Southern Fleet ( White fleet ) operated out of Tampa, FLA.
Many changes came to Interstate Oil, a company called Southern National Resources purchased, also known for a time as SONAT Marine. SONAT then sold out to Maritrans Operating Partners LLP.
In 1998 Maritranss northeast fleet was thinned. The Ambassador was one of many vessels acquired by K-Sea Transportation Partners. She was renamed the Tasman Sea, K-Sea eventually outfitted the boat with a JAK coupler system.
