DAVID Z. Arrives; MANISTEE Waiting; CORNELIUS Due

The DAVID Z. arrived in Erie at 2015 this evening and went around the anchored MANISTEE before heading inbound to unload stone from Stoneport at the Mounfort Terminal. At 2100 the DAVID Z., under a long-term time-charter to Lower Lakes Transportation, informed LLT fleetmate MANISTEE that it will be a 6 hour unload, barring any problems, so the MANISTEE will be inbound at 0300 on Friday as the DAVID Z. turns in the basin and departs. The MANISTEE will be unloading salt from nearby Fairport Harbor, Ohio. Early risers should see the MANISTEE depart sometime tomorrow before 1000.

At 1830 tomorrow the ADAM E. CORNELIUS is scheduled to arrive in Erie with stone from Calcite, Michigan. This will be the seventh vessel of the young season, and will be the first three-vessel day for Erie in years, and the second multi-vessel day of the season that began less than three weeks ago.
