After arriving on April 27th, the Stephen B. Roman, and after arriving on April 28th, the tug Karen Andrie and barge Endeavour, were both able to leave the Saginaw River on Tuesday and finally head for the lake. The extended stays were caused by a very heavy current running in the Saginaw River due to heavy rains last week. Conditions today were not great, but the Karen Andrie was able to back from the Bit-Mat slip, and the Stephen B. Roman backed from the Essroc dock and out into the Saginaw Bay before turning.
For the month of April, there were 9 commercial vessel passages on the Saginaw River. This is way down from the 17 recorded in April of last year. For the year, the number is the same with 9 passages. In 2010 there were 18 vessel passages year to date.
