Missisagi

Keeping the move in-house means that they don't have to involve an outside company to move the parts from Hamilton to Sarnia, thus avoiding the expense of that theoretical outside party up-charging them to try to get the biggest profit margin possible for the job.

However, Lower Lakes owns a couple of trucks so they could have easily stripped the parts in Hamilton themselves.

If it is in fact retired, could they be taking the ship to Sarnia to have all usable equipment removed before being sent to the breakers?

Interesting possibility but it seems like an expensive voyage to make just for parts. Why not do it in Hamilton ?

Yelled out to a crew member today at lock 8 and he indicated parts will be stripped in Sarnia, likely for the Cuyahoga, then it's headed for scrap. Enjoy her while she lasts...

she must have a skeleton crew sailing it?

It could be where they plan to strip her for parts to be used elsewhere, OR perform repairs.

Does anybody have any inside info on what's going on with Missisagi? We were led to believe that her last run was in the fall to Hamilton, where it was tied up in layup. Currently they are in the Welland Canal with a destination of Sarnia.
