AGAWA CANYON Arrives Late; W.N. TWOLAN Update

AGAWA CANYON arrived at 0645 this morning, three hours later than scheduled, with a split load of stone from Bruce Mines and Thessalon, Ontario. The CANYON backed into Erie harbor to the Mountfort Terminal, where they unloaded most of the cargo this morning. At 1230 this afternoon the CANYON shifted forward to finish unloading the rest of the cargo.

W.N. TWOLAN and barge McALLISTER 132 passed downbound at Isle Parisienne, above Sault Ste. Marie, at 0730 this morning bound for Erie with 4,907 tons of lumber from Thunder Bay. The unit should have passed through the Soo Locks sometime shortly after noon. This is about 3.5 hours behind schedule, and at this rate they should arrive in Erie sometime after daylight on Thursday morning, rather than in the middle of the night.

This will be the first non-bulk cargo shipped through the port this season.
