Thanks very much much for the information gentleman. I greatly appreciate it. Just curious has the Stephen B. Roman ever came to Montreal?
Thanks for the information.

There is a huge demand for concrete in the Montreal area due to the construction of the new Champlain bridge. Earlier this year there was a proposal to ship cement from Halifax by barge, but nothing came of it.

Apparently not going for scrap as the two were up bound in the Seaway in the Thousand Islands on Tuesday.

They made one trip down the Seaway last year as well. I don't know if they went to Montreal or not as it possible that they did but definitely 100% they did make one Seaway trip downbound last year as I track and record some of the Seaway Vessel transits on a list. They have not been sold for scrap either to answer your one question on that issue. Hope that this answers your questions.

Is this a one time trip for them or has she came to Montreal in the past with the Metis? This is the first time ive heard of a cement boat or Barge going to Lafarge Montreal. Is it possible that the Metis has been sold for scrap?
Thanks for any information

Port of Montreal is expecting them at "Sec 96 Nord, Lafarge" on Sunday.

Anyone have the destination of Evans McKeil and Metis? I see they are showing ETAs all the way through the Seaway to St. Lambert downbound.
