The fairly new built "Balto" a self-unloading bulker arrived at the quarry dock in Aulds Cove on January 31st to load construction aggregates .After its launch in China it plied the Pacific West Coast for a time and then made the trip via the Panama Canal to work on this side.
It departed our area on the morning of February the 3rd with APA pilot Rick Hanlon on the bridge.
The Atlantic Erie has been a regular visitor of late hauling salt from the Magdalene Islands and discharging on the wharf at Mulgrave .
I expect it will be use to replenish road salt stocks for our Transportation Departments needs
.
The Alice Oldendorff was in the area recently and unloaded a cargo of coal at the NS Powers coal Dock at Point Tupper and then proceeded to the Quarry for a load of gravel which was bound for New York.
The Rt. Honourable Paul E.Martin was in port at the coal dock in Point Tupper to offload coal and is expected to head to the quarry soon.
The Nustar Oil terminal has not been extremely busy lately .the last crude tanker in was the European Spirit on February the 4th.
My sources tell me more ships will be expected after the 19th.
The Ryan Leet is still alongside at the doc in Mulgrave getting some much needed work done .The vessel is between contracts at the moment.
Our colder than normal winter has some of Superport Marine Services tugs breaking a bit of ice to free up the Yokahama fenders moored at Ship Harbour .Capt. Shawn Marsh and crew were photographed recently as they were tasked to free up the fenders for a coal topoff in Chedabucto Bay on the 12th.
