Update On The Shipping Season

Currently, the USCG Katmai Bay is heading to escort the Alpena and Algoeast through the ice in the Straits Of Mackinac. Also, the tug Samuel De Champlain departed lay-up in Sturgeon Bay and then went to Milwaukee to pick up her barge, the Innovation. They then backed out of Milwaukee's harbor and then they'll probably head for Alpena. Finally, the Escanaba iron ore trade is expected to resume on March 14. So here's the schedule for Straits passages today:

USCG Katmai Bay, westbound
Alpena, westbound to South Chicago
Algoeast [tanker], westbound to Chicago
Samuel De Champlain/Innovation, westbound to Alpena
