Thank you for the informative links. The Blair McNeil is the type and size of the boats that usually unload there. With a boat the size and depth of the Oakglen that's going to be a challenge and take some time.

Thank you. That's usually done by smaller boats. With the Donner gone how is it unloaded now

Oakglen is currently in the Welland with an AIS showing Marionette WI. Anyone know what they are going there for?
TIA
