LOGISTICS PLUS BUYS SHIP

WICU 12 is reporting that Erie-based Logistics Plus, with cooperation from Great Lakes Feeder Lines, has purchased the 321-foot long, 1991 Turkish-built general cargo ship ARCTIC SEA. The Bridgetown, Barbados-registered ship has two holds and can carry a variety of cargoes, including up to 270 containers.

This is the second member of Great Lakes Feeder Lines' fleet. The first, DUTCH RUNNER, has been in their fleet for a little over two years.

A PDF file of specs of the ARCTIC SEA can be found on GLFL's website.
