Marine transportation and vessel logistics across US coasts
Centerline Logistics operates a fleet-based marine transportation business across the West Coast, Alaska, New York Harbor, and the Gulf Coast, moving petroleum products, general cargo, and providing ship assist and towing services. The tech stack is predominantly Microsoft enterprise (Office, 365, Dynamics, Azure, Teams) with specialized maritime tooling (ECDIS), indicating an operationally mature company managing complex logistics through standard business systems rather than custom platform development. Hiring is concentrated in operations and logistics roles at mid-level seniority, with active projects clustered around vessel maintenance, dry docking, and cost control—reflecting the capital-intensive, asset-heavy nature of fleet operations.

Centerline Logistics is a privately held marine transportation provider founded in 1987, headquartered in Seattle, Washington. The company operates across three major US maritime corridors: the West Coast and Alaska, New York Harbor, and the US Gulf Coast. Services include petroleum product transportation and storage, ship assist and escort, general cargo transport, and rescue towing. With 501–1,000 employees, Centerline maintains a distributed operations footprint spanning multiple coastal hubs. The organization structures around core operational functions—fleet management, logistics coordination, engineering, and finance—with active project focus on vessel maintenance programs, dry docking oversight, and regulatory compliance. Revenue generation comes primarily from contract transportation and logistics services to energy and industrial shippers.
Centerline uses Microsoft 365 ecosystem (Office, Teams, Dynamics 365, Azure), VMware, Cisco Meraki, SQL Server, and maritime-specific ECDIS navigation systems. Coupa handles procurement and Dynamics GP supports enterprise resource planning.
Active projects center on vessel maintenance and cost control: dry docking maintenance, vessel repair programs, spill management, oil analysis programs, engineering workflow improvements, and capital expenditure planning for tugs and barges.
