The following is the text of a press release issued last month by Nordic Tugs:
(BURLINGTON, Wash.) — Nordic Tugs announced today it will
temporarily close its Burlington manufacturing plant on August 31. This step has been
forced by the ongoing effects of the Great Recession, and the reluctance of customers to order new boats. While most employees will be furloughed, a skeleton staff will remain to field customer inquiries and maintain the plant in readiness to resume production when business dictates.
