Vessel moves and weather delays

   A powerful early spring storm throughout the night of March 20th has hit Eastern Nova Scotia and has brought large vessel mobement to a standstill till the wind drops...The tanker Paramount Helsinki  departed the Nustar Dock with APA pilot Rick Hanlon onboard assisted by the tugs Svitzer Bedford with Capt. Jean Gallant at the helm and the Point Chebucto with Capt. Derek King at the controls.
        The self-unloading bulker Balder continued with unloading its cargo of coal for the NSPC Generating Station at Pt. Tupper.



     Another crude oil tanker the Australian Spirit was waiting at the Inhabitants Bay Anchorage with APA pilot capt. Elias Dorey  to bring it to the Nustar Dock .Also at anchor in Inhabitants Bay was the Harmen Oldendorff waiting for the Baldock to finish so it could go alongside to load.
    The Australian Spirit was turned off the Nustar Dock by the Svitzer tugs and tied up portside to for loading.
