Jersey Desk/10240902

ROCKAWAY, N.J. - JerseyDesk -- Consolidated Chassis Management LLC ("CCM" or the "Company"), a leading manager of marine chassis pools in the U.S., announced today its acquisition by funds managed by the Transportation Infrastructure strategy of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. ("Oaktree").

Under its new ownership, CCM will have a significantly expanded capital base providing the financial support it needs for the successful launch of the new South Atlantic Consolidated Chassis Pool ("SACP 3.0"). The SACP 3.0 chassis pool began operations on October 1, 2023. CCM will serve as the exclusive manager and sole chassis provider for SACP 3.0 under a long-term management and supply agreement with South Atlantic Consolidated Chassis Pool LLC ("SACP"), an OCEMA affiliate.

"We are enthusiastic about the prospects of our new partnership with the Oaktree Transportation Infrastructure team, who bring deep understanding and experience in the U.S. maritime and intermodal sectors," said Mike Wilson, CEO of CCM. "With Oaktree's backing, CCM will be very well-positioned to carry out the innovative vision of the Ports and OCEMA to create the largest truly interoperable chassis utility in the country."

"The new pool's high service standards and entirely rejuvenated fleet will benefit all stakeholders for the next decade and beyond in this dynamic and fast-growing region," said Jeff Lawrence, Executive Director of OCEMA. "This unique public private partnership represents the next frontier in the evolution of the chassis paradigm in the U.S."

SACP 3.0 is being established cooperatively by OCEMA, Georgia Ports Authority, Jacksonville Port Authority, North Carolina State Ports Authority, SACP, and CCM. The newly reconstituted pool will offer more than 45,000 new and refurbished chassis to truckers, beneficial cargo owners, ocean carriers and other users. SACP 3.0 will be one of the largest fully interoperable chassis pools in the U.S., with more than 75 locations in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

The pool's interoperability and on-dock location provides meaningful ESG benefits to its users including fewer chassis moves, better terminal fluidity, shorter motor carrier wait times, and as a result, reduced truck GHG emissions. As the pool's manager, CCM will oversee the increase and upgrade of the existing South Atlantic Consolidated Chassis Pool fleet with new and refurbished marine chassis to better service the area's major regional ports and key intermodal inland hubs. New chassis have already begun arriving at the Ports of Savannah, Jacksonville, and Wilmington.
