When American Fortitude arrives, might make short work of her.
Out of curiosity, which mckeil barge are they cutting up?

I was by the Algoway twice in the last week.
The broken boom end is on the dock. The remainder is still on board.
There is no evidence of repairs I can see. Looks to me like she's being cleaned out prior to scrapping.

Her ETA Baie Comeau is late on the 29th. Assuming she unloads right away and it takes a day, she might be back in Montreal by January 1. If they don't let her into the system it doesn't necessarily mean an overseas scrapping. Look at the American Fortitude; she was towed from Toledo to beyond Montreal and now back to PC.

Agreed; you didn't imply an overseas scrapping. Those were just my comments on Montreal as a final layup port. For a retiring laker, that's typically meant an overseas scrapping.

I thought it was Montreal. That leaves 9 days from TB to Montreal, unload and possibly back to Port Colborne. That's tight but doable. Also, they've made exceptions in the past.
AIS for Montrealais showing Baie Comeau destination.Still in Thunder Bay at time of writing I think if she stays with that destination it is unrealistic to believe she could get back up the seaway now .

Interesting you say she will never sail again, when they're repairing her....

The Algoway is sitting at the sand dock in Pt Colborne.
She looks really bad and her boom is broken in two.

She is near identical to Agawa Canyon in many ways which was scrapped, look for her to never sail again and move a half mile to IMS.

It was going to be 3, Fortitude, Progress and Jadran from Toronto. Will probably just be the two, Jadran tow looking unlikely this year. Who knows.

Probably the Fortitude, Algoma Montrealais and Algoma Progress

Re: IMS Port Colborne

by lahey » December 22, 2014, 6:15 pm

Likely Algoma Progress is one of them and maybe Algoma Navigator.

Re: IMS Port Colborne

by wharfrat1 » December 22, 2014, 6:11 pm

I hear the Progress will be going to IMS at the end of this season.
maybe the Montrealais too?

Re: IMS Port Colborne

Not likely with the other 2 ASC steamers, this year anyway. There has been so signs of equipment removal as of yet.

Fortitude and who else?
Possibly Algoma Montrealais? Could ASC be ready to dicard the American Valor and American Victory before the season ends?
