As of 6:25am EDT this morning, Lois M is still docked in Halifax (as per Marine Traffic). Don't know why the delay.

I widened my search on Facebook and found a good video of Cuyahoga downbound on April 25. The rudder is out of the water more in the April 29 pictures, so I think that she unloaded (at least some) between the two dates.

On Facebook, there are pictures of her upbound entering Beauharnois Lock #3 on April 29. I also found pictures of her downbound on April 25, but they do not show her waterline very well.

I can't guarantee that she unloaded between the two sets of pictures, but I think she did.

Checked Marine Traffic AIS. Yes they are at the Bean Dock. Arrived about 10:35 this morning EDT.

Fortunagracht is in mid-Atlantic. According to the Port of Cleveland (updated April 5), she was due April 16. Guess they are running late.

Fulmar is on the move in the Montreal area as of 14:25. She appears on AIS as French Warship. Remember that Military and Coast Guard boats are not shown on the Seaway Schedule page.

I don't recall ever hearing of this number before. Why don't you just use the Seaway's Schedule page?

I think one of the tugs had the destination Grimsby, not the John D. She was stopped near Grimsby.

Do we count salties headed to Cleveland, Toledo, Chicago, Duluth and other ports as American or Canadian boats?

Baie St Paul was the Top Hat ship in the St Lambert Lock this morning. However, the first ship moving upbound was the Tim S Dool which left winter layup in Cote-Ste-Catherine by 6:15 this morning. So the first upbound that most people will see is the Tim S Dool. Downbounds from Lake Ontario ... Algo...

There was a Top Hat ceremony in Port Colborne for the CSL Tadoussac before she left her layup dock and headed to Bowmanville.

Now I am confused! Did they change the Opening Dates as far as for the Welland Canal and the St. Lawrence Seaway? I saw on the Facebook page of the KYS that there may be a possibility of the Soo Locks opening about 12 hours earlier per a request by the LCA but there has also been no official confir...

CSL Welland and CSL St Laurent are both just out of Les Mechins dry dock. Both headed to Trois Rivieres upon departure. Both have single funnels on the starboard side. Looking at pictures as they left dry dock I don't think there is anything on the port side of the funnel. Hopefully you can see thes...

One of CSL Welland or CSL St Laurent maybe?

ChrisW wrote:Since it is on the south side of the harbor, it won't affect the salt operations (at least it doesn't appear that it would). It took out an old historic fish shack, but otherwise nothing. It was over on the grain elevator side of things.

It also took out a trailer and a pickup truck.

Yes, they still trade on the Great Lakes. Their tankers are on Lake Ontario regularly, and sometimes to Nanticoke. Not sure how much further than that they go. There bulkers are on the Lakes sometimes too. Not sure what their common destinations are. They don't lay-up on the Great Lakes, so maybe th...

Evans Spirit is just returning to Sept-Iles after delivering aluminum ingots to Baltimore. She is still flagged Canadian.

Guest wrote:Regarding the east coast shipments. What are they typically moving? I see Baie St. Paul is currently in Grande Anse. What comes out of there?

Thanks

I think Baie St Paul has been running salt out of the Magdalen Islands.

CSL's Thunder Bay was running salt from the Magdalen Islands. Looks like she might be in layup in Montreal now. Evans Spirit is returning after taking aluminum from Sept-Iles to Baltimore. AlgoCanada did a run from Sarnia to Nanticoke to Sault Ste Marie, and is now at Nanticoke again.

Marine Traffic has it in mid Lake Michigan looking like it's headed to Ludington. However, the marker is over 17.5 hours old. The crew entered destination is Burns Harbor on Jan 24. ais.boatnerd.com shows it headed south from Ludington at 8.6knots with destination Ludington. MyShipTracking shows it ...
