DAVIKEN Arrives

The first overseas visitor of the 2007 shipping season arrived on Monday afternoon when the DAVIKEN, arriving from Antwerp, Belgium via Montreal, entered the channel at Erie. Low visibility and constant rain greeted the vessel's crew as DAVIKEN docked at the Mountfort Terminal.

As the crew threw lines over to the longshoremen waiting on the dock, the crew gathered at DAVIKEN's stern experienced some difficulty, as they required five tries to successfully land a line on the dock. The crew on the bow landed the line on the first try.

Unloading will begin on the vessel when crews report to work at 0700 on Tuesday, and the DAVIKEN should depart later in the day on Tuesday for Windsor, Ontario.
