Update, American Integrity was taken out of dry dock just after noon today local time. 4-6-2026. Check the AIS movements from tugs Cleveland and/or Wisconsin as they were assisting. She is docked in the adjacent West slip where Calumet was until just recently.

The Speer went into the large graving dock on Monday morning after the Barker left Bay Ship.

Basically I’m looking for any movements as far as when a vessel either entered or was removed from Drydock this winter as far as any dates to when the move took place. A perfect example is the Manitoulin as they entered the Large Graving Dock at Sturgeon Bay about February 13 and now, I see on the AIS Map today they are no longer shown as being in the Drydock but rather in a different location then. So, when were they removed from the Large Graving Dock and where are they located at now in Sturgeon Bay?

The Manitoulin was moved out of the LGD last Thursday and is in one of the slips at Bay Ship. The Speer was slated to go into the LGD over the weekend but was delayed due to some wicked wind we had up here and is now supposed to move this morning.

Denny,
AIS shows CSL Niagara currently in Port Weller dry dock. The layup list has the arrival on Jan. 8th but I am not sure when she went up on the blocks.
Also, the John J. Boland is in a dry dock at the Fraser yard in Superior as per AIS. Layup arrival was on Jan. 16th. I don't know of any other possible locations at this time. Hopefully this helps your quest.

Was wondering if anyone could please give and provide any details along with any updates and information on a few ship drydockings for this Winter Lay Up period 2026? I have a list of a few vessels along with my questions for them as well to which I’m hoping for any type of information anyone may have and answers to my questions as well. Thanks in advance and here is my list and questions and information I’m looking for as well.

Great Republic moved into Drydock at Toledo and the Ironhead Drydock then on January 11. Are they still in Drydock or not and if not, when and where are they located at presently and thanks.

James R. Barker arrived in Sturgeon Bay on January 5 and was put into the Large Graving Dock right away. They were removed sometime in February to make way for the Manitoulin which was put into the Large Graving Dock on February 13. When was the Barker removed then from the Large Graving Dock and where exactly is she located at now? Are they at the Face Dock?

American Integrity entered Drydock at DonJon in Erie, PA. on February 16? Are they still in Drydock at Erie and DonJon which I assume they still are!

Kaministiqua arrived at Erie and DonJon on January 10 and went into the Drydock about that time. They departed from Erie and DonJon February 9 sailing up to Sarnia for lay up. When then were they removed from the Drydock?

If anyone has any information on the ship drydockings and can give and provide any updates to them, it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance,
