Port Reports – November 30, 2022

Unless where otherwise noted, port and vessel activity from November 29, 2022. Please send future port reports to news@boatnerd.net.

Marquette, MI – Oggdo Bogdo
Tuesday continued the solid streak of traffic at Marquette, starting with the arrival of the Kaye E. Barker at 07:05, followed quickly with the Victory/Maumee’s departure at 07:26 after a nearly 24 hour load. The latter is off to Toledo once again. Further ahead, two more Interlake regulars will return, those being the Lee A. Tregurtha and Hon. James L. Oberstar. While the Oberstar has been a once-a-week customer for the whole year, the Tregurtha has become just as common in the past month or two.

Milwaukee, WI – MKE Marine Reports
Federal Kivalina arrived from Burns Harbor at 05:55 Monday and tied up at the Federal Marine Terminals dock, south slip one, outer harbor. She brings coils from Tata Steel’s IJmuiden facility. Prentiss Brown/St. Marys Challenger arrived from Charlevoix at 21:41 with cement for the Kinnickinnic River terminal. Federal Champlain was still loading soybeans at the COFCO elevator.

This is Federal Kivalina’s second visit of 2022. In mid September, she brought steel from IJmuiden. After leaving Milwaukee, she dropped the last of her steel cargo at Calumet Harbor and headed for Thunder Bay to load grain at the Superior elevator. The grain was delivered to Hamburg in mid October. Then it was back to IJmuiden and Tata Steel’s high tech coil warehouse. Federal Kivalina departed IJmuiden November 3, and called at Cleveland and Burns Harbor before arriving in Milwaukee Monday morning.
