SEDNA DESGAGNÉS LOADS
Loading began this morning on the SEDNA DESGAGNÉS at the Mountfort Terminal and continued throughout the day. The DESGAGNÉS remains in Erie this evening loading drilling equipment bound for Korea. The vessel will be making stops in Montreal and Louisiana before heading for Korea.
Video of the SEDNA DESGAGNÉS arriving on Sunday is below. I will be working to catch up on videos that have yet to be posted over the next month or so.

SEDNA DESGAGNÉS ARRIVES
Group Desgagnés' 2009-built SEDNA DESGAGNÉS arrived in Erie at 0900 this morning and docked at the Mountfort Terminal. The vessel is in port to load machinery.
As I mentioned Friday, this is the SEDNA's first trip into the Great Lakes. The vessel, which, along with fleetmates CAMILLA DESGAGNÉS, ANNA DESGAGNÉS, and sisterships ZÉLADA DESGAGNÉS and ROSAIRE DESGAGNÉS, spent the summer under the Canadian flag running from Montreal to the Canadian Arctic with supplies, was reflagged out of Bridgetown, Barbados, in preparation for this ocean voyage. This is the first visit to Erie by a Desgagnés vessel since the AMÉLIA DESGAGNÉS, MELISSA DESGAGNÉS and CATHERINE DESGAGNÉS were regular visitors in the mid-1990s to unload pig iron. The last visit by one of those vessels was 1998.
Loading of the SEDNA (SEDNA means "mermaid" in the Inkuit language and is the namesake of this vessel, which supplies the Inkuit people) is scheduled to begin on Monday morning.

SEDNA DESGAGNES DUE
The 2009-built SEDNA DESGAGNES, owned by Canada's Groupe Desgagnés, is due in Erie at around 0800 on Sunday. The Canadian-flagged vessel unloaded cargo in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario before sailing to Erie to load machinery, and is on its first trip into the Great Lakes. The SEDNA's visit is the first to Erie by a vessel from the Desgagnés fleet in at least 10 years.
