Algoisle departed Montreal behind the tow of the Ionion Pelagos bound for Aliaga, Turkey, due to arrive November 10, 2010.

Sad to see her go, I had a thorough tour of her, back in 2004.

Algoisle will be heading out tomorrow along with tugs Ionion Pelagos and Vigilant 1, three pilots have been called for 0500 this the last of the three scappers from the grim reaper sec 56, I expect more lakers to go, now that the Canadian Gouvernment dropped the 25 % duty on foreign built ships.

Agawa Canyon scratch that from your list, Canadian Prospector in about 10 days the ITC tug Simoon should be here for her, and lastly the Algoisle in 20 days from now, athats what the buyer said in Montreal today.

The tug Sirroco was between Quebec and Trois-rivières last night. It is now at section 52 in Montreal. It must be the one taking whichever away.

They are going to need brake tugs on the stern as well.
A large towing firm from Quebec put in a bid for the stern tug, as of yesterday it has not heard if was accepted.

This website http://commercial.apolloduck.com/featur ... ?id=160308 seems to describe the Sauniere and Algonorth, in addition to the Algoisle and Agawa Canyon as being for sale.

Is there any chance that someone could get pictures of the tow departing Montreal? Thanks

I've heard that both Algorail and Algoway will sail next year.

Certificate Expires on 5/31/11 for Algoway and Algorail, I have no idea if Algoma will bring them out next year.

They are expected to arrive on the 15th Sept, depart the 16-17 Sept, rumor has it, the Agawa Canyon will be the first to go, destination a Mediterranean Port I assume Aliaga, Turkey.

Re: Algoisle

by oldseadog » September 12, 2010, 6:35 pm

Sirocco was in the English channel 10 days ago heading here for a tow to a Mediterranean Port possible Aliaga, Turkey, she is a 9000 bhp tug, Bruno, do you think she would take two this time of year?.

Re: Algoisle

Tug Sirocco up bound for Montreal due at Escoumins Pilot Station on September 14 at 1200. Destination is Section #56 Port of Montreal, Which of the three will be the first to go?

Right Leo, Mantadoc (Maritime Trader) Algocen (JW Shelley) had the Fairbanks diesels, Algorail and Agawa Canyon have those as well, I shouild have remembered the Algosounds engine room went down there enough times, she had the Canadian General Electric turbine 9.000. shp. Must have had a senior moment.

Re: Algoisle

by Leo » September 12, 2010, 1:48 am

The Algosound had a 9,000 s.h.p. steam turbine fed by two boilers. She wasn't ever powered by FM diesels.
