Castlen Steel and American River Transportation Company (ARTCO) are partnering for barge fleeting and cleaning to serve the Owensboro, Ky., and Rock-port, Ind., areas and expect to operate a new fertilizer facility starting this fall. Beginning in January, ARTCO, a wholly owned subsidiary of Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), signed a long-term lease for a fleeting area from Castlen at Castlen's new terminal at Ohio River Mile 752, said Doug Caylor, manager of Cas- tlen's terminal operations. "We have fleeting for 25 barges, which has been leased to ARTCO, ADM's barge division," Caylor said. "On top of that, we're providing barge cleaning services and barge repairing services as well." ARTCO also has fleeting just upstream at Mile 749. ADM is also preparing to move some fertilizer operations into a new warehouse being built at the Castlen terminal. |
