The Canadian Provider however, does not have a bow thruster
and needs tug assistance when in port and around loading and
unloading docks. Also, her fleetmate Canadian Miner also does
not have a bow thruster either.

Quebecois And Montrealais have diesel bowthusters thus the unique exhaust.

Hi Jim:
Is there a tug stationed in Two Harbors to assist ships at the ore dock?
Thanks!
No tugs stationed in Two Harbors. If SMT sent a ship there Great Lakes Towing would have to send tugs up from Duluth.

The Quebecois and the Montrealais both have bow thrusters and have the most unique exhaust ducting of any of the lakers. See the Boatnerd photo galleries for reference.

SMT managed boats have a history of dock damage at CN Docks

I wonder who pays the extra cost? Tugs are expensive. Seems odd all SMT boats have to take a tug, just because one hit the dock.

All SMT vessels have received notice that all Algoma and Upper Lakes vessels must use tug assisstance as mandated by CN Dock Dukuth

I heard today that the Peter R. Creswell hit the dock and now Algoma boats have to take tugs in while tying up. I wasn't aware that Upper Lakes boats had to as well, but it makes sense considering they're both managed by Seaway Marine Transport.

Thanks! Do you know what vessel it was?

No damage was done to the dock, but she landed at the south end of the wharf where they are completing repairs

When the Quebecois arrived Duluth on June 2nd, she mentioned that a vessel hit the Canadian National dock and she needed a tug to escort her to the dock. Does anyone have any information about the vessel that hit the dock and how much damage was done? Thanks!
