Crews from Luedtke Engineering were on scene at Bay Aggregates today, assessing the situation with the sunken tug Ann-Marie. Divers were in the water at the Bay Aggregates slip, and the tug Kurt Luedtke brought Derrick Boat 16 down river from the old Defoe slip near Liberty Bridge. With assistance from the tug Karl Luedtke, the tug Kurt Luedtke was able to maneuver the derrick barge through the ice and into the Bay Aggregates slip in preparation for raising the Ann-Marie. Oil boom has been deployed in the slip to contain any oil or fuel that has escaped from the tug. The 71' tug Ann-Marie sank Monday morning while moored in the Bay Aggregates slip located on the Saginaw River, in Bay City.
