IUOE Local 302

At the Port of Alaska in Anchorage, the steady hum of machinery signals more than just a ship’s arrival — it marks the start of a vital operation led by members of IUOE Local 302.

For 50 years, these skilled professionals have been the force behind TOTE Maritime Alaska’s roll-on/roll-off cargo system, ensuring essential goods keep flowing to and from the Last Frontier.

TOTE Maritime Alaska’s fleet of cargo ships transport refrigerated cargo, heavy equipment, building materials, personal vehicles, and more to and from Tacoma, Washington.

Working for Sea Star Stevedore, 12 Local 302 members provide mechanical support and repairs for the 35+ terminal tractors or “Hustler” vehicles and the 500+ trailers that move the ships’ cargo. Their precision and efficiency are key to keeping TOTE’s tight shipping schedules on track.

And, they do so much more. Local 302 members ensure all cargo trailers, such as those holding frozen or refrigerated items, are stored properly at the appropriate temperatures at the terminal prior to transport.

If transported vehicles have mechanical or charging issues, such as electric cars that won’t start, Local 302 members are responsible for moving them on or off ship.

And, during the extreme Alaskan winters, they take care of snow removal to keep operations running smoothly.

They also do facility maintenance such as painting, plumbing, electrical, and more for Sea Star Stevedore’s vehicle maintenance shop and Tote’s administrative facilities at the Port of Alaska.

TOTE Maritime is a critical supply chain link between Alaska and the Lower 48, and Local 302 members play a central role in making that connection work. Their expertise helps keep the port safe, the logistics flowing, and Alaska’s communities stocked with the supplies they rely on every day.
