First visit to our port.
The new built self-unloading bulk carrier the Rt,. Hon. Paul E. Martin was brought in to the Quarry loading dock by APA pilot Capt. Evan MacDonald shortly after 0700h yesterday morning under some glorious sunny skies. The MarBulk vessel Pioneer had just departed the quarry berth and as the two vessels passed port to port just below checkpoint 9 the ships' whistles could be heard by all.
The incoming Rt. Hon. Paul E. Martin was assisted in its docking procedure by the tug Point Valiant with Capt. Jerry Maltby in the wheelhouse.
