McCARTHY JR, W.N. TWOLAN Update

Sunrise on a beautiful Friday morning found the coal-laden WALTER J. McCARTHY JR. still anchored off of Harborcreek, awaiting the ALGOMARINE's departure from the Ontario Power Generation plant in Nanticoke, Ontario. Normally ships waiting for the dock at Nanticoke anchor behind Long Point; however due to the Greenpeace protests on the ALGOMARINE the McCARTHY's captain found it better to wait on the American side of the lake before heading across to unload the ship's 62,000-ton cargo. The McCARTHY JR. got underway at around 1030 hours Friday and headed across Lake Erie.

In today's W. N. TWOLAN update, the pair is due in Erie at approximately 0800 Saturday.
