American River Transportation Company (ARTCo), a wholly owned subsidiary of ADM, christened the 58- by 26- by 8-foot Chuck B on October 6 at its Ottawa, 111., location. The Chuck B is the third boat ARTCo has built in-house at its New Orleans shipyard and the first since Subchapter M was fully implemented, said Lukas Lonergan, manager of ARTCo Fleeting Services in Ottawa. It was named after Charles "Chuck" Burlingame. "He was the general manager of the Illinois River (for ARTCo)," Lonergan said. Burlingame worked for various divisions of ADM for 46 years before retiring. That included overseeing both the Peoria and Ottawa locations for ARTCo. He retired in 2021. Burlingame began his career working for various grain elevator companies. That included working for Tabor Grain, which was later acquired by ADM. Over the years Burlingame held a wide range of supervisory roles, Lonergan said. |
