PLUG FOR THE TRADE

For U.S. vessels to compete success- fully with foreign-flag ships for the carriage of U.S. foreign trade, they've got to be highly productive.

Lines asked Todd to do for 13 of their freighters.

Todd has received conversion contracts from U.S. flag operators during the past decade. Which is kind of a nice "plug" for Todd. 7adkto
