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.
