Biodiesel to be shipped

I've received information that the biodiesel shipments through the port of Erie are definitely going to happen. This is great news for the port and will mark the first time in close to forty years that a foreign tanker has been in port.

There's a possibility that it could be this season when the shipments begin; however, my guess would be 2008. At this time it's unknown how the shipments will be handled as to whether they'll be transfered from truck or rail cars to the ship; this is likely to be a long operation that will keep these tankers in port for a day or more, depending on the load size.
