Originally called the Bitten Theresa, construction on the ship began on 28 February 1998, when its keel was laid in Tuzla, Istanbul, Turkey. The ship was built by the Turkish company Gemak Shipbuilding Industry and Trading S.A.Priolo, 2004. The build was finished in 1999, and in 2000, the American company Sealift Incorporated purchased the vessel, registered it under the United States flag, and renamed it Montauk.
On 27 November 2000 the vessel was awarded a long-term charter by the US Navy Military Sealift Command. This charter, previously held by T-1 tanker MV Valiant,Military Sealift Command, Annual Report, 2000. was a $10,751,304 firm fixed-price contract with reimbursables.

Options in the contract brought its estimated cumulative value to $27,730,162. Military Sealift Command solicited more than 120 proposals for the charter and received five offers.
In the charter's first three fiscal years, Montauk made over 125 voyages, providing shuttle service between suppliers and shallow-draft depots in South Korea and Japan.Military Sealift Command, Annual Report, 2003.Military Sealift Command, Annual Report, 2002.Military Sealift Command, Annual Report, 2001.

On 20 July 2006, MSC announced that Montauk's charter had been awarded to the {{MV|TransPacific}}.{{cite journal|author=American Maritime Officers|authorlink=American Maritime Officers|date=November 2008|title=Vessel acquisition brings new jobs for AMO aboard Overseas Harriette|journal=AMO Currents|url=http://www.amo-union.org/newspaper/morgue/11-2006/Sections/News/sealift.htm|accessdate=10 March 2008|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721033352/http://www.amo-union.org/newspaper/morgue/11-2006/Sections/News/sealift.htm|archivedate=21 July 2011}}{{cite web |url=http://www.defenselink.mil/contracts/contract.aspx?contractid=3270 |title=DefenseLink: Contracts for Thursday, 20 July 2006 |accessdate=9 March 2008 |author=Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Public Affairs) |date=20 July 2006 |publisher=U.S. Department of Defense}} The TransPacific charter, which commenced on 1 October 2006, was a one-year firm fixed-price contract of $6,879,520 with some operating costs reimbursable. The contract included three additional one-year option periods and one 11-month option period which can total $25,589,458 including reimbursements.
