The agreement between Foss Launch & Tug Com- pany and Cummins Northwest Industrial was recently announced by Ross Bishop, Com- mercial Marine sales manager for Cummins Northwest Industrial. Operating from the Seattle yard, Foss personnel will be able to maintain and repair Cummins marine diesel engines for commer- cial vessels operating in the Northwest and Alaska. According to Mr. Bishop, "Foss Shipyard was selected because it offers the facilities and capabilities to handle large commercial vessels that would utilize the latest engine line produced by Cummins."
