MAUMEE in Port

MAUMEE arrived at the outer buoys this morning at 1130 hours and proceeded slowly inbound the port. The vessel spent the next hour proceeding slowly into the channel and docking at the Mountfort Terminal to unload salt loaded at Fairport Harbor, Ohio yesterday and into this morning. This visit is the MAUMEE’s second within two weeks and is the third load of salt received this season in the port.

Up next for the crew at Carmeuse Lime & Stone is the loading of the PANAM FLOTA, expected between May 14 and 16 to load biodiesel for Europe. After that, the W.N. TWOLAN and McALLISTER 132 should be arriving with lumber products.

Lakeshore Towing remains busy with dredging work at Shades Beach. Crews are pumping the dredged material to the east to deepen the channel to the boat launch there and depositing the material back on the lake bottom.

Prior to loading salt in Fairport, the MAUMEE had unloaded stone there. Rather than go out into Lake Erie and wash the deck down before loading, the crew shoveled the spilled stone into one big pile as shown here. The vessel's deck will be rinsed down upon departure from Erie later this afternoon.
