The Sam Laud arrived for Layup this morning in Ashtabula at the Pinney Dock #2. So far that is all the Layup information that I have. In viewing the AIS map, the Joseph L. Block is anchored off of or near Sturgeon Bay waiting to enter for Layup. Also, the James R. Barker has departed from Cleveland after unloading at the CBT or Cleveland Bulk Terminal. They are headed for Toledo and Winter Layup. Upon their arrival in Toledo, this will then make an incredible 6 of the 1,000 footers laid-up in Toledo for the Winter. That is about half of the 1,000 footers when you take into consideration that there are 13 of them! While I'm not 100% certain of this, the James R. Barker upon their arrival in Toledo for Layup could be a first for them as far as them laying up in Toledo? Again I don't have the full details but, I don't ever recall the Barker laying up in Toledo before for Winter Layup? A few others that are headed to Toledo possibly for Layup are the Herbert C. Jackson which has departed from Buffalo after unloading Sand. Another is the tug and barge combo Olive L. Moore and Menominee. They've departed from Cleveland and the CBT or Cleveland Bulk Terminal after unloading an ore cargo there. Needless to say, Toledo is getting to be "A Packed House for layup this Winter and seems to be the place to be if you want to see alot of ships that is in Winter Layup this Winter!" I will try to update this with further Layup information and reports as I get further information on Vessel Layups then.
