Algoma Strongfield

[Guest]

Is there still a foreign crew on board?
If so wonder when they will hand off to a Algoma crew?
Just curious. Thanks

Yes, Algoma Strongfield has hull strengthened with deck stiffeners visible midship port and starboard. Same as othe Equinox class ships

The recent China-built CSL S/U's carried ballast stone on their journey to the GL's. I think some of the new Algoma bulkers had extra steel added for strength while on the ocean. Did the Strongfield have any of these features ? TIA
