The ARRC Seattle office is located on S Marginal Way at the AML office complex.

Each roundtrip from Seattle to Whittier and back is scheduled at 21 days, with three barges and a three week trip,
if all goes well the normal Seattle schedule has weekly loadings on Wednesdays and unloadings on Fridays.

Each of the three barges were built by Gunderson of Portland, Oregon. Their names are Anchorage Provider, Fairbanks Provider and Whittier Provider. Each barge has 8 tracks of about 400’ in length.

The tug was called the “Alaska Mariner” and has 4,000 hp from two diesel engines.

The following photos were taken on Friday, April 9th, 2004 at Harbor Island, Seattle.
