History

Marine Cargo Resources was formed as a division of Agropelter in 20XX to transport sensitive equipment from Agropelter's Mobile, Alabama distribution facility to various medium risk locations throughout the Caribbean Sea, in order to support bases and indirectly supply combat operations during the Nueva Gran Colombian Conflict. The Caribbean battlefield proved to be an invaluable testing ground for Agropelter's new coastal patrol boats, active in the NGC blockade and related activities. Due to the proximity to Agropelter's research and development and distribution infrastructure, the NGC Conflict was seen as a perfect opportunity to test various configurations of these patrol boats. Third party logistics contractors were not willing to enter an area with active military and paramilitary action, and the U.S. Navy would not spare ships to deliver many of Agropelter's often small and time critical shipments. Among the delivered components included engines, reduced weight hull components, armored glass, optimized weapons parts, and experimental prototype technologies. These components were often delivered in extremely small quantities of only a handful of units per variation. The Marine Cargo Resources division was utilized extensively for several years, and began delivering sensitive items across the region

Shortly after the conclusion of the NGC Conflict, MCR was spun off into a subsidiary of Agropelter. As part of this transition, control over Agropelter's internal logistics were officially transferred to MCR. MCR operated various warehousing and logistics facilities, trucks, barges, and a limited fleet of Gulfstream G600 and Pilatus PC-24 aircraft as of 2033. Outside of purely internal logistics work, MCR also took on occasional contracts transporting cargo for affiliated corporations and entities.

With the catastrophic collapse of FedEx in 2040, all FedEx assets were sold off. As part of a major business expansion into air freight, MCR purchased many of FedEx's hubs along with all aircraft based at those hubs. Notable hubs included Memphis, Miami, and Anchorage, which would become the backbone of. Through the early 2040's, MCR evolved from a primarily internal logistics company to a nationwide, then global freight company. Air freight operations expanded to include many more of the former FedEx facilities, including Tokyo, Paris, Oakland, and Grand Rapids, the location of Agropelter's headquarters. MCR also expanded into light non critical ocean freight, primarily operating as a Jones Act carrier.
