Description: Horizon Lines Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a holding company for three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Horizon Lines LLC, Horizon Logistics Holdings LLC and Horizon Lines of Puerto Rico Inc. The company's history dates back to 1956, when Sea-Land Service Inc. pioneered the marine container shipping industry. In 1958 the company introduced container shipping to the Puerto Rico market, and in 1964 it pioneered container shipping in Alaska. In 1987, the company began providing container shipping services between the U.S. West Coast and Hawaii and Guam through an acquisition of an existing carrier serving that market. In December 1999, CSX Corporation, the former parent of Horizon Lines Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation, sold the international marine container operations of Sea-Land to the A.P. Moller Maersk Group. CSX Lines LLC is now known as Horizon Lines LLC. Currently, the company's services can be classified into two principal businesses: Horizon Lines operates as a Jones Act container shipping business with primary service to ports within the continental United States, Puerto Rico, Alaska, Hawaii and Guam; and Horizon Logistics provides the integrated logistics service offerings, including rail, trucking and distribution operations. Horizon Lines is headquartered in Charlotte, N.C. More
