Cascade Signs Maintenance/Repair Agreement

Cascade General and Alaska Tanker

Company (ATC) have signed an alliance agreement for the maintenance and repair of ATC's fleet of Alaska North

Slope (ANS) tankers. The function of this alliance is "to achieve a process of continuous improvement in standards of safety, environmental protection and quality, which results in the reliable and cost effective performance of ATC ves- sels. while providing long-term benefits to both parties."

The non-exclusive agreement commits

ATC to sending a majority of its vessels to Cascade General's Portland Shipyard for drydocking over the next two years and also earmarks 50 percent of its voy- age repairs to be performed by Cascade

General outside of the shipyard at remote locations.

Cascade has already performed sever- al major overhauls for ATC in 1999, including biennial drydockings of the

S/S Denali, Overseas Ohio and Over- seas New York.
