Mechanical issues

Unread post by Mn bob »

It’s been a rough couple weeks for ships on the Great Lakes. Edgar b speer in Duluth with engine troubles, presque isle at Fraser shipyard, Joseph l block at Fraser shipyard for repairs also,Indiana harbor at lakehead pipeline dock for repairs, mesabi miner at the soo for repairs, burns harbor showed up today at the lakehead pipeline dock with her boom in the air so assuming maybe conveyor belt problems. I don’t ever recall seeing so many ships down for repairs in such a short period of time ever.
