TOTE names Tacoma terminal in memory of Robert P. Magee


Totem Ocean Trailer Express Inc.'s (TOTE) Tacoma Terminal has been named the Robert P. Magee Marine Terminal in memory of and in tribute to TOTE's late leader, who was widely considered a legend in the industry.

The terminal's new name is proudly displayed on signs at each gated entrance, as well as in front of the administration building. A formal dedication ceremony will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2011, at the TOTE Terminal at the Port of Tacoma.
