SAM LAUD in port

SAM LAUD arrived in Erie this morning at 0700, turned in Presque Isle Bay and docked at the Mountfort Terminal to unload stone from Calcite, Michigan.

A sign of the poor economic conditions, this is only the second load of stone received in the port this season, and the third vessel overall. At this point last season, the port had received eight ships: four with stone, three with salt, and one cargo of machinery. This year's cargoes comprise of two stone loads and a salt load.




LAUD inbound Erie at 0700 today.
