摘要：	Middle River Marine LLC announced on November 21 the acquisition of assets of Kindra Lake Towing LP of Chicago, Ill. The agreement will expand Middle Rivers bulk material logistic operations with the addition of five vessels, marine equipment and a harbor slip in South Chicago. "This agreement creates an organization better able to serve customers and grow in the marketplace," Middle River Marine said in a news release. "Our people make the difference, and we're happy to welcome new coworkers to expand the MRM team," said Aaron Halcomb, president of Middle River Marine. "For our customers, this further extends our ability to eco- nomically, efficiently and sustainably meet their logistics needs." Halcomb told The Waterways Journal that John Kindra, founder and president of Kindra Lake Towing, would stay on and work on various projects. All employees would remain in their current roles. Middle River will expand its affreightment, towing, fleeting and terminal services to customers on the Illinois Waterway and Lake Michigan. Additionally, Middle River plans to increase its workforce and add more experience to its team. "This marks another step forward in MRM's ability to serve the construction materials, agricultural products and industrial commodities in Illinois, northwest Indiana and the Great Lakes," the release stated. Kindra Lake, through its two companies, began in South Chicago in 1983 cleaning and repairing barges. Beginning in 1992, Kindra occupied a unique niche as it began moving barges between South Chicago and Burns Harbor, Gary, Buffington, and Indiana Harbor in northwest Indiana as well as Lemont, Ill. The firm has provided Coast Guard-approved fleeting areas for tank barges as well as marine equipment and services for special projects.
