Logistics gives back

  • Ceres Barge Line, an East Saint Louis, Ill.-based barge freight management, logistics services, and consulting firm, and Federal Marine Terminals (FMT), a port stevedore at the Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor, both donated a portion of the revenues generated by a recent shipment to the Mary Crowley Cancer Research organization. The shipment took place last month when Ceres' bright pink barge, Big Hope 1, (above) traveled from the Tulsa Port of Catoosa up the Mississippi and Illinois rivers to deliver a large refinery storage tank. The money will go toward helping expand treatment options for cancer patients.
  • Fremont, Calif.-based third-party logistics service provider (3PL) RK Logistics Group has teamed up with the City of Fremont's Community Services Department to provide scholarships for low-income children, enabling them to participate in summer recreation programs. The 3PL's $3,800 charitable contribution will help the city provide scholarships for up to 48 children.
