With the Frontenac now laid up in Sarnia, just how much longer will Goderich be shipping salt this Winter on the Intrepid and Niagara? I would think at some point one of them possibly both but, one for sure should be going into lay up at some point eventually. Don’t know if this makes any difference or not, now as the temperatures are finally 🙏 starting to warm up I just wonder how much longer Goderich will be shipping salt out on the Algoma ships? With the warmer temps now, I would think anyway that the salt demand should start going down as the temps start to warm up unless I’m missing something here? Here in Michigan, there were many places that were crying because they used up more salt this year than last year and last season and Winter. I think the thing is, many of these cities and places got their salt supplies from the mild Winter we had last year not realizing or thinking about if we ever had a bad and hard Winter like this year has been. Next year could be interesting because after this Winter, you’ll probably see many places stock up on salt supplies yet next Winter you never know as we may not be using as much as this Winter. Time will tell on that one though!
