I just verified with a mate on the Cort and that is simply a rumor. The Cort will maintain the run between BNSF, Superior and Mittal Steel, Burns Harbor.

This would be news to me and many others I surmise. While the Cort might be able to unload at Conneaut, it's been ages since I've ever heard that this might happen. Besides, I do think those contracts are for GLF.

[quote="Richard"]While visiting at Vantage Point yesterday, I heard from a lady
volunteer that the Cort would be making a trip down to Ohio
sometime in 2010 to unload? Am I hearing this right as the only
port she could unload at due to her unique unloading system is
Conneaut, Ohio however, I thought that USS/GLF Ships unload
there mostly? Also, the Cort will be dedicated mostly on the runs
from Superior to Burns Harbor in 2010 and on Lake Michigan right?
Anyone have any news, or heard any details or updates on this?
Thanks.[/quote]

I have heard this rumor as well, but don't know if it's true or not.

I do not believe this is going to happen. I would have heard about it if it was a distinct possibility.
