Foss Seattle Shipyard

Named Cummins Dealer

For Parts And Service

Foss Shipyard, Seattle, has been named a marine dealer for Cummins Northwest In- dustrial (CNI) and will provide service and spare parts throughout the Northwest. The agreement between Foss Launch & Tug Com- pany and Cummins Northwest Industrial was recently announced by Ross Bishop, Com- mercial Marine sales manager for Cummins

Northwest Industrial.

Operating from the Seattle yard, Foss personnel will be able to maintain and repair

Cummins marine diesel engines for commer- cial vessels operating in the Northwest and

Alaska. According to Mr. Bishop, "Foss

Shipyard was selected because it offers the facilities and capabilities to handle large commercial vessels that would utilize the latest engine line produced by Cummins."

Cummins diesel marine engines are of- fered in several models ranging from 170 to 1,385 bhp and are used for both main en- gines and auxiliary applications. Spare parts for Cummins engines will be stocked in Se- attle by Foss Shipyard and are available through the firm's existing distribution sys- tem.
