Saginaw River Docks - Bay Aggregates Dock

Sharing the slip with Bit-Mat and located in Bangor Township, the Bay Aggregates dock is one of the busiest docks on the Saginaw River. Also known as the Port Fisher dock by some Captains, there were 29 deliveries there in 2009. This is down from 2008 when there were 38.

This is a long slip with vessels unloading on either side. Entering and exiting the slip is tricky, especially when there is a strong current flowing in the river. The slip is a sharp starboard turn when inbound from the lake. In 2009, the Herbert C. Jackson grounded while trying to enter the slip due to strong currents.
