Some vessels fuel while loading in Calcite. My guess would be that the Algocanada was delivering fuel to the Storage facility at Calcite to be used for the subsequent fueling needs of any boats at Calcite. I don't know if any of the fuel would be used within the Plant Operations there at Calcite.

Looks like they have at least one large above ground storage tank.
I'd guess for fueling mining equipment, but again that's merely a guess.

And I think I recall reading that one of Andrie's tug/barges was there last fall.

Where did she unload at in calcite? Is this a rare trip for her to go there? I've never heard of tankers going to calcite. What other tankers go in there? Thanks for any info Dan
