PIERSON encountered problems inbound while attempting to dock at the North Pier. Several pleasure craft attempted to pass between the PIERSON and the North Pier, with one slamming into the PIERSON and bouncing off. The small craft, which was at fault, remained afloat.
After a short unload, PIERSON departed the North Pier at 2105 this evening outbound.
Jumbo Shipping's Dutch-flagged heavy lift ship FAIRLOAD is currently moored at the Seaway Terminal in Port Huron, Michigan and will begin unloading tomorrow. When the vessel finishes unloading it will sail to Erie in ballast to load.

Flying the Lower Lakes Towing houseflag and "Don't give up the ship." Don't give up the ship has been Lower Lakes' motto since the company's founding in the early 1990s.
