At the time, Interstate Oil Transportation maintained two fleets. Their Northeast Fleet or "Green Fleet" that operated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and a Southern Fleet or "White fleet" that operated out of Tampa, Florida.
In the years that followed many changes came to Interstate Oil Transportation. A company called Southern National Resources purchased Interstate Oil Transportation (also known for a time as SONAT Marine) and SONAT eventually sold out to Maritrans Operating Partners LLP.
In 1998, Maritrans's northeast fleet was thinned. Many of the vessels where acquired by K-Sea Transportation Partners of New York, Reinauer Transportation (also of New York) and Vane Brothers of Baltimore, Maryland.
The Patriot was acquired by K-Sea Transportation where she was renamed as the Java Sea.
The tug was later outfitted with a JAK coupler system, she services K-Sea's JAK equipped 100,000 bbl barges. She is a twin screw tug rated at 4,800 horsepower."
