Oil patch bits: Lynden companies team up to deliver supplies to Anacortes

Petroleum News

As reported by Lynden News Aug. 3, Lynden companies stepped up to help the City of Anacortes, Washington, when it experienced a shortage of chlorine for its regional water system. Despite a national shortage of sodium hypochlorite, employees from Lynden Logistics, LTI Inc. and Alaska Marine Lines worked together on a plan to deliver chlorine to the city as quickly as possible. Lynden Logistics moved 21 totes of chlorine product from Houston, and LTI Inc., using Alaska Marine Lines’ fiberglass-lined ISO tanks, delivered two loads from California to Anacortes. Thanks to these efforts and others, the treatment plant is now at full capacity and the regional water system is stable.

“The City of Anacortes is extremely thankful to Lynden as they assisted Marathon Refineries with the shortage of sodium hypochlorite,” said Anacortes Mayor Laurie Gere. “This is an amazing community and the protection of the safe drinking water for our region was a priority for all. Again, the city has much appreciation and gratitude for the rapid and generous response.”

Lynden has been a transportation partner to the Anacortes refinery for more than 20 years. “Our refinery team members have great relationships with a number of suppliers and contractors such as Univar and Lynden Logistics who were able to quickly respond to the supply shortage,” said James Tangaro, manager of the Marathon Anacortes Refinery.
