TOTE Awards Tampa Ship Contract To Stretch RoRo Totem Ocean Trailer Express (TOTE), Inc., of Seattle, Wash., re- cently announced that it has awarded a contract to Tampa Ship- yards in Florida for the job of ex- tending the length of TOTE's new- est RoRo, the Northern Lights, prior to its inauguration into the Alaska trade during the summer of 1993. Insertion of the 90-foot midship section, which represents one of the largest commercial shipbuilding projects in the country, should be completed by March 1993. The stretching will make the Northern Lights equal to its two 790-foot sister ships in the TOTE fleet, the Great Land and the Westward Venture. Formerly the SS Puerto Rico, the Northern Lights was built in 1973 for Puerto Rico's government- owned shipping company by Sun Shipbuilding, Chester, Pa. TOTE has invested nearly $50 million in the Northern Lights, including purchase price, upgrading and re- construction. The Northern Lights will be operated during the peak ship- ping months of April to October and act as a backup during the off season, when TOTE's other ves- sels undergo modernization. TOTE currently sails twice weekly between Tacoma, Wash., and Anchor- age, Alaska. Founded in 1975, TOTE is a subsidiary of Totem Resources Corporation.
