NASSCO said Monday it built the Isla Bella ship for transportation and logistics firm Tote.

Fred Harris, president of General Dynamics NASSCO, said Isla Bella marks the 100th vessel that the shipbuilder has launched.

Both vessels are designed to have a ballast water treatment system and are scheduled for delivery later this year.
