Saginaw River Passages - April 16th

The tug Zeus and her tank barge made the Saginaw River on Saturday, calling on the Dow Chemical dock in Bay City. The pair had been on the hook out in the Saginaw Bay waiting on more favorable weather before making the trip in. Three other vessels who had been waiting on weather were also on the move. The tug Karen Andrie and barge Endeavour departed the Bit Mat dock and across the river, the Stephen B. Roman departed the Essroc dock, with both vessels headed for the lake during the afternoon on Saturday. Out on the Saginaw Bay, the tug Olive L. Moore and barge Lewis J. Kuber were also headed for the lake after spending the past 36 hours at anchor.

The weather forcast for Saturday night and Sunday is calling for gale force winds of 45 miles per hour plus in the area.
