Midway Through the Shipping Season...

We've reached the midway point of the shipping season and there are a lot of facts to be shared. Many ships haven't sailed this season. The majority of iron ore shipments have come from Two Harbors and Silver Bay so far. The majority of coal shipments have come from Superior and Sandusky. The majority of stone shipments have come from Port Inland, Rogers City, Presque Isle, and Marblehead. The majority of grain shipments have come from Thunder Bay. The majority of salt shipments have come from Goderich and Windsor.The majority of sand shipments have come from, of course, Brevort. All cement shipments have come from Charlevoix and Alpena.
According to my statistics and observations, Great Lakes Fleet has carried the most iron ore, American Steamship Company has carried the most coal, Lower Lakes Towing and Transportation have tied for carrying the most stone, Algoma Central Corporation has carried the most grain as the they have carried the most salt. Lower Lakes Towing has carried the most sand. Lafarge North America is tied with Port City Shipping for carrying the most cement. And odd spot loads of slag and fly ash have been loaded onto salties, Algoma Central Corporation vessels, and the Undaunted/Pere Marquette 41. Algoma Tankers has carried the most petroleum products.
A number of salties have visited the Great Lakes, carrying windmill parts, yachts, grain, coal, steel, slag, steel coils and various odd spot cargoes. Salty tankers have carried fair amounts of petroleum products.
Well that's my mid-season report and look out for my end of the season report in January. Thank tyou for visiting my blog and taking time to read my posts.
Sincerely,
Jake Hill

Tall Ships Set Sail for Duluth

Earlier this morning, the Tall Ships set sail for Duluth. As of 7:30 PM, the Pride of Baltimore 2 was a few miles northwest of the Keewenaw Peninsula. Behind her, the Denis Sullivan was entering the Keewenaw Waterway. And a few hours behind both of them, the flagship, Niagara, was just past Whitefish Point. The Tall Ships are expected to arrive through early tomorrow morning throughout the entire day and into the night. After this visit, they will head to Green Bay, then Chicago, and then back to their homeports.

Defiance/Ashtabula on Their Way to Green Bay for the First Time.

At about 5:40 PM, the tug Defiance and her barge Ashtabula passed under the Mackinac Bridge, en route to Green Bay, Wisconsin, their cargo being coal from a Lake Erie port.

Update

I've decided to enhance this blog by reporting news from around the Great Lakes. Expect those reports at any time of day. I hope you enjoy this. Obviously, I'll still report vessel passages and arrivals.

A Slow Shipping Season Combined With Less Cargo Amounts Equals Many Ships in Lay-up

Since the beginning of the shipping season, some ships never departed lay-up and some have entered lay-up. Other remain in long term lay-up. Both Canadians and American ships are in lay-up and cargo amounts have dropped including iron ore, coal, stone and grain. Ships currently in lay-up include the following:
Phoenix Sun-In lay-up since December in Sorel
Birchglen-Short term lay-up in Montreal
Spruceglen-Short term lay-up in Montreal
Saguenay-In lay-up since December 2012 in Montreal
