Unless where otherwise noted, port and vessel activity from November 18, 2022. Please send future port reports to news@boatnerd.net.


Marquette, MI – Oggdo Bogdo
It was an Interlake kind of day on Friday. Kicking things off was the Lee A. Tregurtha departing for Dearborn at 04:56; more traffic would come 12 hours later with the arrival of the Kaye E. Barker at 17:10 to load at LS&I. Before the Barker’s eventual departure, the Hon. James L. Oberstar slipped into the dock at 22:15 to complete the trifecta of reddish-brown hulls. As has happened a few times this year, the Herbert C. Jackson was all that was missing of Interlake’s classic fleet at Marquette. The Barker would eventually depart around midnight, also for Dearborn. Nothing is planned to arrive after the Interlake ships have completed their loads.
