fitouts

[bvboatnerd]

The Toledo Docks vessel Line-up has the James L. Kuber for April 14.

Anyone hear when these from CSL will be fitting out and sailing this season the Mapleglen, Oakglen, Richelieu, Saguenay and the Salarium? I see that Salarium though is due to load coal at MERC in Superior about mid-April so, I would expect her to be fitting out very soon but what about the others I have listed that are still in Montreal laid-up? Any information is appreciated. Thank You.

I believe the JLK-Victory along with the tug Olive L. Moore are all still in drydock in Erie, so they obviously can;t enter service yet. Expect the Jackson & Tregurtha out before mid-May.

Anyone hear when these vessels will be fitting out and sailing this year the Algomarine, Lewis J. Kuber-Olive L. Moore along with the James L. Kuber and tug Victory? Also, anyone hear what is going on with CSL's Cedarglen and when they will be sailing this season?

[Denny]

Those two were just discussed on this board not too long ago and the word was the Tregurtha was going to sail sometime in April and the Jackson was either late April to possibly sometime in May.

Anyone hear or know when some of these vessels will be sailing and fitting out this season from Lower Lakes the Manistee along with the Mississagi and from Algoma Central the Algorail, Algoway, Algosteel and the Algoma Enterprise and from American Steamship the St. Clair? Any help and information would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How about Interlake's Herbert C. Jackson and Lee A. Tregurtha?

The UWM School of Freshwater Sciences has updated their webcam and are now posting HD time lapses on youtube. This hour has a great view of American Integrity leaving Milwaukee with the Cort leaving during the next hour. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe3hwOBFGGc

I have been sending in daily reports of the fit-outs for today and the Winter layup list with Sailing Dates for 2013 has been updated on a daily basis also. Be sure to check out the lay-up list along with the Sailing Dates list for the latest reports and updates on it. A very busy Saturday with tons of boats leaving their layup ports.

Algoma Montrealais has left her winter layup berth in Hamilton this morning March 22 with a destination listed as being Thunder Bay.

[Denny]

Both the Aird and Frontenac departed their layup berths from the Welland Canal this morning March 22. Radcliffe R. Latimer left from Montreal on March 21 along with the Paul R. Tregurtha also on the 21st from Bay Ship in Sturgeon Bay. Algosoo left her lay-up berth in Sarnia on March 22 only for Sturgeon Bay and Bay Shipbuilding. Saginaw left Sarnia layup late last night March 21 and is enroute to Stoneport. Finally, the Baie St. Paul departed her layup from Montreal either on March 21 or March 22.

Aird and Frontenac deck crews being called back. Looks like a tentative departure for Thursday, 21 Mar.

Due out now on Friday morning between 0500 and 1000.

The Peter R. Cresswell is showing her AIS as "Fitting Out" with a date and time of March 20th at 1800 or 6 P.M. from Sarnia layup. CSL Laurentien departed her winter lay-up berth in Port Colborne earlier today March 18 for Sandusky.

Any activity around the canal? Last I heard, the boats above lock 8 had to be moved before next Friday 22 March.

the mesabi miner is scheduled to leave duluth on the 19th. they will be hauling coal to marquette. great lakes towing has tugs fit out also.

[Chris M]

Engine crew on the American Integrity was called back on the 11th

[CottonwoodStudios]

I believe deck crew on the Burns Harbor are reporting the morning of the 18th. In addition, the engine and galley crew are aboard the Cort with the deck crew reporting for 0800 on Tuesday morning. Rough estimations of Thursday evening or Friday morning on a departure for them.
