VESSEL OPERATIONS

MVC maintains a logistics model that is most appropriate and cost efficient given the length and breadth of its operation. This model, which includes company-owned vessels (Snoopy 1, Snoopy 2 and Snoopy 3) in moving products, will be modified as the need arises and tailored to fit the logistics requirements and the demands of the market.
