Saginaw River Passages - July 5th & 6th
Traffic on the Saginaw River remained steady over the holiday weekend with a number of vessel passages. The SCS Greyfox departed for the lake early Sunday morning after spending the past week docked in downtown Bay City.
On Monday morning, the tug Gregory J. Busch and her barge, STC 2004, traveled from their dock in Carrollton out to the anchored vessel OXL Lotus out in the Saginaw Bay. During the day, cargo was transferred from the OXL Lotus to the barge and then brought in to the Consumers Energy dock later in the day. As of 9 pm Monday night, The Gregory J. Busch and her barge were still at the Consumers dock and the OXL Lotus was still anchored out in the Saginaw Bay. It was reported that the Lotus, who had arrived on Friday, was unable to make it to the Consumers dock due to her deep draft.
The Olive L. Moore – Lewis J. Kuber were inbound on Sunday with a split load for the Bay City and Saginaw Wirt Stone docks. After unloading, the pair was outbound for the lake early Monday morning. The Algoway was also inbound on Sunday, calling on the Sargent dock in Zilwaukee for her second trip there this week. Algoway was outbound late Monday morning.
