Effective Jan. 1, Alaska trucking and logistics company Carlile and Alaska-based third-party logistics provider Naniq Global Logistics have joined TOTE Logistics, the TOTE Group’s new area of focus.

Carlile specializes in shipping trucking and logistics services throughout Alaska, Canada and the U.S., while Naniq Global is a 3PL with more than 300 employees throughout North America, including Alaska, Canada, Hawaii and Washington state.

They join TOTE Logistics along with Florida-based Shoreside Logistics and the newly acquired Florida-based Aqua Gulf, a 3PL that specializes in cargo delivery between Puerto Rico and the U.S.

The news was announced Dec. 10.

“Together, these companies provide a breadth of services from Hawaii and Alaska across the mainland to Puerto Rico,” according to TOTE Group, which independently operates companies encompassing maritime, terminal and services business as part of the Saltchuk group of brands and companies.

TOTE Group Chief Operating Officer Mike Noone is expected to oversee the newcomer companies as president of TOTE Logistics. Noone brings more than three decades of maritime and logistics experience to the new leadership position.

“The addition of logistics services to the TOTE Group companies allows us to offer effective and efficient opportunities for those moving cargo throughout the U.S., particularly in the non-contiguous trades,” TOTE Group President and CEO Tim Nolan said. “Mike is the right person to oversee this new venture.”
