CASABLANCA, MOROCCO – American Roll-on Roll-off Carrier’s (ARC) M/V Integrity discharged Foreign Military Sales (FMS) cargo for the Royal Moroccan Army in Casablanca, Morocco.

M/V Integrity discharged 22 M1A1 tanks in Casablanca. The tanks were loaded in Wilmington, NC on June 27. The equipment was drawn from stocks at the Sierra Army Depot in Herlong, CA and retrofitted at Anniston Army Depot in Anniston, AL. As the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) noted when the transaction was first announced in 2012, the sale contributes to a major ally “that continues to be an important force for political stability and economic progress in Africa.”
