Saginaw River Passages - July 13th through July 20th

OK. I am home from my camping vacation with my family. Here is what happened on the Saginaw River the week I was gone:


On Monday, July 13th, the tug Superior departed the Essroc dock in Essexville with Luedtke Derrick Boat 16 and two dump scows in tow, headed for the lake. The Algoway called on the Sargent dock in Zilwaukee to unload as well.

Tuesday saw the tug Karen Andrie and her tank barge, Endeavour, call on the Bit-Mat dock in Bay City. After unloading, the departed the slip and headed upriver to the Dow Chemical dock to turn and then tie up. As of Monday night on the 20th, the pair were still there, although they briefly departed the dock this morning and then returned to the dock.

On Wednesday, the Frontenac and the American Century both called on the Saginaw River, unloading at a pair of Essexville docks. Frontenac unloaded at the Essroc dock, while the Century unloaded at the Consumers Energy dock.

Thursday brought the tug Olive L. Moore and barge Lewis J. Kuber to the Bay Aggregates dock in Bay City. The pair returned again on Sunday with a split load, unloading at the Bay City Wirt Stone dock and the GM dock in Saginaw.

On Friday, the Calumet arrived with a split load for the Sargent dock in Essexville and the Saginaw Rock Products dock in Saginaw.

Finally, Saturday saw the arrival of the Manitowoc with a split load for the Wirt Stone docks in Bay City and Saginaw.
