Trade Notification – Normal Vessel Operations

Posted on by TOTE Communications

 

Today we are loading the Midnight Sun to head north to Alaska.

We continue to work with our partners and our customers to ensure the efficient movement of cargo throughout the supply chain, optimizing asset utilization and allowing TOTE to continue regularly scheduled service between Tacoma and Anchorage.

Many of us are on the front lines, taking extra steps to help ensure we continue to serve Alaskan communities who depend on TOTE. Thank you for your ongoing dedication and to keeping Alaska’s supply chain open.

Our gate in Tacoma has made changes to accommodate health concerns associated with the use of paperwork. We appreciate your patience and support as we continue to transition to a paperless gate.

As always, the Port of Alaska is open for business. Please click here or on the image below for the latest updates from the POA.
