This 1977 Puma is used by Erickson Evergreen Helicopters but leased to the US Navy Military Sealift Command under a contract of Geo-Seis Helicopters. The US Navy awarded Geo-Seis on 23 Nov 1999 a USD 20.3 million 3-year fixed price contract with an additional USD 10.9 million 2-year option to Geo-Seis Helicopters, Inc. The Fort Collins (CO) company Geo-Seis operated two SA330Js aboard three MSC combat stores ships on a rotating basis beginning in Jan 2005. The commercial helos deployed aboard the ships all over the world and operate often from shore bases for vertical replenishment missions.
