DAVIKEN departs; Tug PETITE FORTE inbound for weather

DAVIKEN finished unloading at the Mountfort Terminal this morning, departed and turned in the harbor, proceeding outbound at 1115 this morning. The vessel, which is still loaded with more than 22,000 Metric tonnes of cargo, is next due in Windsor, Ontario. The vessel will anchor in the Ojibway Anchorage of the Detroit River opposite the port when she arrives tonight.

Tug PETITE FORTE and barge ST. MARY'S CEMENT are due in Erie tonight at 1745 hours to wait weather. The barge is loaded with powdered cement from the St. Mary's Cement facility in Bowmanville bound for Cleveland, Ohio. I'm not sure how long they'll be in port, but judging from the weather forecast she may be here a while.
