The tug Olive L. Moore and barge Lewis J. Kuber called on the Saginaw River Saturday morning, carrying a split cargo. The pair lightered at the Bay Aggregates dock in Bay City, then continued upriver to the Burroughs dock in Zilwaukee to finish. The pair were outbound late Saturday evening.
On Wednesday, July 28th, Algorail called on the Buena Vista dock in Saginaw. She was outbound for the lake later that day.
For the month of July, there were 14 commercial vessel passages on the Saginaw River, a decrease of eight from the same period last year and 15 passages below the six year average of 29. For the year to date, there have been 63 commercial vessel passages on the Saginaw River. This number is down 15 from the same time period last year. Looking at the six year average is where you really see the difference. There are 50 less passage then the average of 113 and a huge 110 less then the 2005 shipping season when there were 173 passages at this point in the season.
