It's been mentioned on social media that at some point toward the latter part of the winter layup season, inspections revealed areas in some of Paul R Tregurtha's ballast tanks that required additional steel work. That work was expected to take several weeks to complete, which matches an eventual mid-to-late April sailing date.

The Paul R. Tregurtha at last check is scheduled to load coal on April 18 to be delivered to both the St. Clair and Monroe Power Plants. This I would think then could be there first load of the 2024 season unless they carry an ore pellet cargo first? Hope that this helps.

Why is the big Paul not out sailing yet? Usually they are one of the first ones out hauling coal. The unloading boom was in the air for a few days but now is back in place on the deck. Friday night they were a lit up and looked like they were ready to sail but are still in fraser shipyard today. Also what happened to the great republic they came out of layup and fueled in Detroit then headed back to Toledo. Mechanical issues?
