Saginaw River Passages - October 28th & 29th

Traffic has been brisk as of late on the Saginaw River. On Tuesday, the tugs Steven Selvick and Krista S arrived with two barges of equipment for the Consumers Energy dock. The pair departed on Thursday after unloading. This is the fourth delivery to Consumers by Selvick tugs in the past few months. Wednesday saw the arrival of the Calumet and and Olive L. Moore - Lewis J. Kuber. Calumet unload at the Bay City Wirt dock, finishing up early Thursday morning, turning off the dock and departing for the lake. Once she passed the Bay Aggregates dock in Bay City, the Moore & Kuber backed from the slip where they had unloaded overnight and also headed for the lake behind the Calumet.

Thursday morning saw the arrival of Algoma Marine vessels Agawa Canyon and Algorail. The Canyon unloaded salt at the Sargent dock in Zilwaukee while the Algorail tied up just behind her at the Burroughs dock to wait her turn to unload at Sargent. Agawa Canyon departed Thursday night headed for the lake and clearing the way for the Algorail to unload. This is Algorail's first visit of 2009 to the Saginaw River.
