Saginaw River Passage - May 10th

The Olive L. Moore & Lewis J. Kuber lightered at the Bay Aggregates dock Saturday night before continuing upriver to finish unloading at the Buena Vista dock in Saginaw. The pair then turned in the Sixth Street basin and were outbound for the lake late Sunday morning. The tug Barbara Andrie and her tank barge made their way inbound for the Bit-Mat dock in Bay City early Sunday morning. She had waited for the Moore and Kuber to depart the Bay Aggregates dock as the slip there is shared by both Bay Agg. and Bit-Mat docks.

Dredging has begun on the Saginaw River starting at the end of the navigatible channel at the Sixth Street turning basin. The tug Kurt Luedtke began shuttling barges of dredging spoils brought up from the Luedtke Derrick Barge 16 at the Sixth Street basin down to the new disposal site just above the airport turning basin, where the hydraulic dredge, Lucille T, is unloading them.
