Boatnerd Discussion Forum

Denny-
Given her short duration in Sarnia, my guess is she took on a partial load, then will complete loading in Thunder Bay. Could have been preference to load initially in Sarnia given shallow water depth in the approach channel, rather than navigate channel at full load. Several ships have been in to load at Sarnia Cargill, so perhaps only partial load was available.

Does any boatnerds know IF they loaded in Sarnia or not? I see now that they went up to Thunder Bay to load! Did they load a partial load in Sarnia then and finishing up the load in Thunder Bay? Anyone with any info is appreciated and TIA.

Cargil owns the elevator in sarnia and baie comeau so it makes sense

I see that they arrived early this morning in Sarnia at the Grain Elevator to load a cargo there. Hopefully 🙏 they have much better luck this time once they depart then their last time that they loaded there. The last time they loaded in Sarnia, they grounded on a shoal just off of the Sidney E. Smith Dock. It took a few days before she was finally freed and allowed to continue to Baie Comeau to unload at that point then. So again, hopefully this time they have better luck once they depart.
