TOTE Services, one of the leading ship management companies in the U.S., supported the new construction of the Marlins and will supervise the conversion of the TOTE Maritime Alaska fleet to LNG propulsion. Their experience in LNG propulsion systems is among the most extensive in the industry. TOTE and its operating companies are bringing LNG to the maritime sector as a viable and accessible fuel source.
TOTE’s Marlin-class vessels are the most advanced, environmentally responsible vessels of their kind – while providing safe, reliable cargo deliveries that keep communities moving.
The two Marlin-class vessels were built at the General Dynamics NASSCO shipyard in San Diego. These American-made ships were delivered in late 2015 and early 2016, and operate between Jacksonville, Florida and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
This investment demonstrates our commitment to the environment and mark a new age of shipping, using the best technology in the world.
