VICTORY/KUBER Arrive
VICTORY and barge JAMES L. KUBER arrived in Erie at 1630 today and docked at the Mountfort Terminal. The KUBER is unloading stone from Calcite on its second visit of the year.
Last year, the season's first vessel did not arrive until the KUBER visited the port on May 1. The KUBER has already been to Erie twice and the SAM LAUD once in 2011.
