rawing on decades of experience, Lynden offers an integrated network of air, ocean, and ground transportation to give customers comprehensive shipping solutions throughout Western and Arctic Alaska. Whether the job requires quick delivery of a single, small package or the complex coordination of oversized, heavy-lift cargo, Lynden’s expertise ensures critical shipments reach their destination safely and efficiently.

Providing transportation and logistics services in Western and Arctic Alaska presents unique challenges, such as remote geography, unpredictable weather, and limited infrastructure. Lynden overcomes these obstacles with a flexible, adaptive approach. “We leverage our integrated network, allowing the customer to select the mode or combination of modes based on location, conditions, delivery requirements, and cargo,” says Vice President of Operations Jason Jansen.

Lynden’s equipment is specifically designed for Alaska’s demanding environment. From specialized vessels and containers to trucks, trailers, and aircraft, every piece is chosen and maintained for optimal performance. “We really think through what we need; what vessels can access certain areas and what types of containers will maximize payload to ensure we do the work in the most efficient manner as possible,” Jansen says. “Having the right equipment in place is key to our success.”

Lynden’s services are essential to various business sectors in Western and Arctic Alaska, including oil and gas, mining, construction, and the military. The company is also a lifeline for local villages and communities, delivering crucial supplies and personal items, including cars, snow machines, boats, and machinery. “Anything that’s going out there, most likely we cover it,” Jansen says.

As a recent example of its capabilities, Lynden successfully delivered modular foodprocessing units from Finland to St. Lawrence Island for the village of Savoonga—covering 3,722 miles. The project included transporting eight large modules, each weighing more than 16,000 pounds and with an average height of 11 feet and length of 44 feet. The complex operation required international coordination, expertise in specialized handling, and flawless execution to address the logistical challenges posed by distance, environment, and time constraints.

Lynden leverages innovative technology to improve shipment tracking, predictive delivery, and reliability for its customers. It also employs technology to monitor weather and water conditions, ensuring safe navigation for both vessels and crew.

However, Lynden is built on the strength of its highly skilled and dedicated employees and service partners. “They are what truly drive our business and success,” Jansen says. “When we make a commitment, we see it through. This is possible due to our excellent employees and service partners.”

Lynden is deeply committed to the markets and communities it serves. As it continues to innovate in transportation and logistics, Lynden’s focus remains clear: enhancing efficiency, investing in people and technology, and fulfilling its promises to Alaska’s communities and industries. As Jansen explains: “We feel an obligation to the communities and industries where we have built relationships—to maintain an efficient and reliable transportation system now and well into the future.”
