Final Month of Layup

The final push is on as contractors prepare vessels for departure from winter layup. The after-end crew is soon to report back to the PHILIP R. CLARKE to begin fitting her out to sail, and she should be departing sometime around the 20th. Although the CLARKE had been scheduled for her five-year survey this winter, she, along with fleetmate CASON J. CALLAWAY was granted a one-year extension and will go in for survey next winter.

Meanwhile work continues on the PRESQUE ISLE in preparation for her to sail a couple of days before the Soo Locks open on March 25.
