Atlantic Container Line (ACL)
SCAC: ACLU
Transatlantic ConRo specialist moving containers, vehicles, and oversized project cargo on the same ships.
Atlantic Container Line traces back to 1965, when a consortium of European steamship companies (including Wallenius, Swedish America Line, Rederi AB Transatlantic, and Holland America Line) came together to run a coordinated North Atlantic service. Sailings began in 1967 with the Atlantic Span. The line pioneered the combination container and roll-on/roll-off concept early, and it has stuck with that formula ever since rather than chasing the pure-container scale race.

About Atlantic Container Line (ACL)
Atlantic Container Line traces back to 1965, when a consortium of European steamship companies (including Wallenius, Swedish America Line, Rederi AB Transatlantic, and Holland America Line) came together to run a coordinated North Atlantic service. Sailings began in 1967 with the Atlantic Span. The line pioneered the combination container and roll-on/roll-off concept early, and it has stuck with that formula ever since rather than chasing the pure-container scale race.
The Italian Grimaldi Group built up its stake through 2000 and 2001 and took full ownership by 2007. Corporate operations sit in Westfield, New Jersey, after a 2010 move, with roots in Sweden and an early base in Southampton. ACL now runs five G4-class ConRo ships (Atlantic Star, Sail, Sea, Sky, and Sun), delivered from 2015 onward and billed as the largest combination RoRo/containerships built. Each carries roughly 3,800 TEU alongside space for about 1,300 cars plus long RoRo decks for trucks and machinery.
The single weekly loop links North Europe and North America, with direct calls at Liverpool, Hamburg, Antwerp, Halifax, New York, Baltimore, and Norfolk. That mix of boxes, wheeled cargo, and heavy or oversized project pieces on one deck is ACL's niche, and it is why the line stays relevant on a route dominated by far larger container operators.
