As of March 30 at 3:30pm EST, the American Mariner is still in the St.Mary's river near Lime Island. Appears to be anchored with the tug W I Scott Purvis close by. This is on Marine Traffic.

Is the delivery limited to downbound vessels only? Occasionally there is an up-bound delivery. In fact, a couple of weeks ago, there was an up-bound delivery.

Thanks Roger for the information.

Take care, Bernie.

Where is the Drummond Islander lll ? I see that the Drummond Island has a huge back-up, which got me thinking about the Islander lll.
Also, why is there a huge back-up on the island. I see a lot of horse trailers.

Take care, Bernie.

Do we need a new user name and password for the "new" website?

Is the tug Dirk VanEnkevort and barge MIchigan Trader going back to Bay Ship? Looking at AIS, she is heading is a Westward direction (4.4kn at 274 degrees).

Found some information on the Michigan Trader at this website . https://freighterfreak.wordpress.com/20 ... her-barge/

Is the Michigan Trader still at the shipyard? I look on Marine Traffic AIS but couldn't find it.

Take care, Bernie.

The Joyce L detached from the GLT around 1pm Eastern. She then went in between the two docks to do her own ice breaking. Is the Nels.j stuck again?

Will the owners of the Joyce L / GLT send a bill to the harbor authorities for breaking up the ice?

I don't know if this will help.

The Cason J. Callaway is anchored off Grand Haven according to AIS.

How are they dragging the pipe or adding pipe as they go. I am also going to assume that the soil is going into Lake Michigan instead of on the beach. Beach goers wouldn't like that.

The Buxton is in Grand Haven http://www.grandhaventribune.com/harbor-cam dreging. They are sweeping back and forth going upriver. What I would like to know is, where is the soil going? I don't see a barge or piping.

Look at the propeller. It must be free wheeling as the current is revolving it around.

I should have noted that they were having problems with there server being down. Before I posted the webcam was up and running, but now I see that it isn't. Just a heads up.
