Would this be an indication that she's been sold for scrapping overseas?

I guess it goes to show you that rumors don't always come true; everyone had the Algosteel and Gordon C. Leitch as done after last season and both are out or going to be out soon.

Halifax's Canadian registry was closed April 21, 2011, according to Transport Canada's website.

Algosteel is fitting out for another season.

Thanks for the information!

Why is the birchglen still laid up?

Is the algosteel fitting out or is she getting ready to leave on a tow line to be scrapped? Any word when the halifax is leaveing for her scrap tow?

The three you need to know are the Algosteel, getting ready to leave, Sauniere she is done and is waiting to be sold for scrap, and the Petrolia Desgagnes she has been sold Panamanian.

Could anyone identify the three laid-up ships at the grain elevator at the east side of Montreal near the container terminal. One appeared to be a ULS straight-decker, the other an ocean-going self-unloader and the third maybe a Desgagnes. I was flying overhead so didn't really get a good look.

Thanks
