Denny- Believe you're referring to the Algoma Endeavour. Original name Algoma listed for this ship was Endurance, but now it's Endeavour. Launched Feb 19, 2024, and article mentions a June 2024 completion estimate. If that occurs, expect mid/end July arrival? Post launch picture attached. Looking fo...

Denny-
From Facebook Page "Seaway News - Voie Maritime":
For St. Lambert Lock:

1st Upbound: NACC Quebec
1st Downbound: McKeil Tug Vigilant w/barge

1st (Laker) Upbound: Algoma Harvester

Old Sailor - Main reason for tankers in general to appear less rusty (hullsides), is they typically have less lock transits, whether that's Soo or Welland Canal. Rubbing guide walls entering the locks and lock walls themselves in the full Seaway size lakers takes a toll on their hulls and paint. Whe...

That video of Algoma Vision dates to 2018, according to my research. So, Algoma Vision is not the newest ACC vessel, as she was built in 2013, for previous owner. Algoma purchased her second hand. Appears Algoma's new self-unloader for the CSL International Ocean Pool service is due for delivery Jul...

If I'm interpreting this correctly, that "south channel" between Bois Blanc Island and Cheboygan is seasonally closed after Soo Locks close each season.
Here's a quick notification from 2019 season:

Kathy McKeil will have her tanker forebody removed and a new bulker forebody installed, with cranes, not a self-unloading boom.

Heard tailshaft issue that needed repair. Expect a few weeks in drydock and out for late season trips.

Scott,
Yes, Algoma Bear is a 740' S-U with aft-mounted boom. She will feature some of the improvements of the recent Captain Henry Jackman, like dual rudders for example.

Atlantic Huron struck the stern of the tanker vessel NCC Qamar in Aug. 2022 in Quebec City. Minor damage to both vessels.

Tweet further down says tug Victory w/barge Maumee

Algoma's primary petroleum customer is Imperial Oil, headquartered in Calgary. This dates back to 1998, when Algoma purchased Imperial's domestic tanker fleet.

When Algoma & CSL first started building ships using overseas yards, they sent crews over to familiarize and then sail the ship back. That didn't last long. I know Algoma typically uses a ship delivery company to make the delivery trips.

I would agree with the idea that Algonorth is still owned by Algoma, listed under their tanker fleet on webpage, still named Algonorth, and under Canadian Flag. All this points to a trading area change only, to be under Furetank management, is my thought also.

Excellent.
Also, hulls 527-529 are the 740' Self-Unloaders with fwd booms.
Hull 527 is the one contracted for completion at this time.

Jamie- Algoma Endurance was the planned name for Intrepid, before the financial issues affected shipyard and contracts canceled. Then, after agreement made on restart and completion, the name changed from Endurance to Intrepid. I also recall seeing some hull fabrication pictures, showing sections of...

This ship being completed is a 740 S-U with bow mounted boom. Believe hull number 527. Ship was 1/3 complete when yard had financial trouble and Algoma canceled contract

Algoma Hansa, upbound Welland Canal, Sept 20, 2015

I believe Nukumi has stone cargo onboard to provide stability for delivery trip. With her being Nova Scotia class, U don’t believe temporary deck stiffening was not required Regarding question on single point loading system, Nukumi has a small “shed” at midship that opens to a conveyor just below de...

Correction, Dool is layed up next to Heddle drydock, not there for survey
