Saginaw River Passages - June 7th & 8th

Calumet made her first visit of 2011 to the Saginaw River on Tuesday, traveling up to the GM Dock in Saginaw to unload. On her way upriver, the Lafayette Bridge failed to open, causing the Calumet to stop in the middle of the channel as quickly as she could to avoid striking the bridge. After a lengthy delay while MDOT mechanics worked to get the bridge open, Calumet was finally able to continue her trip up to Saginaw without incident. She was back outbound for the lake early Wednesday morning.

The Calumet River Fleeting tug, Krista S., arrived overnight and was tied up at the Essroc dock in Essexville on Wednesday morning.

Wednesday evening saw the arrival of the Olive L. Moore - Lewis J. Kuber, who called on the Bay Aggregates dock in Bay City, to unload. The pair were expected to be outbound Thursday morning.
