Algoma Central acquires two more product tankers

ST. CATHARINES, ON – Algoma Central Corporation has acquired two 2009 built, 16,600 dwt product tankers from Norway’s Knutsen OAS Shipping.

“We identified an opportunity to secure high-quality ice-class product tankers suitable for trading in Canada and in Northern Europe. These additions will strengthen our capacity to deliver reliable service to our valued customers,” said Gregg Ruhl, President and CEO of Algoma.

The vessels will initially be on bareboat charters back to the sellers. Following completion of their bareboat charters later this year, Algoma plans to begin trading one vessel in the company’s Canadian fleet and one in Europe.

ST. JOSEPH, MI – Footage shot on Monday captures images of the St. Joseph North
Pier Inner and Outer Lighthouses in southwest Michigan that turned into a frozen
wonderland.

On Sunday, waves from Lake Michigan pummeled the Outer Lighthouse. As the water
on the lighthouse began to freeze, a haunting winter scene began to take shape.

Drone video of this scene shows the Outer Lighthouse coated in frost and jagged ice
formations. A 360-degree shot shows how much of the structure is encased in ice.
