At some point during its visit to U.S. Great Lakes waters (usually its first port call) every foreign ship is inspected by the Coast Guard to, among other things, ensure it has a proper and functioning sewage treatment system.

not much new: http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/3 ... ned-duluth

Lets get this clear. All ships that sail the Great Lakes, Foreign and domestic, probably for 40 years, prosess their sewage onboard and discharge only clean water residue. Your supposed to be able to drink it. Although I wouldn't drink it is tested and inspected by Coast Guard and whatever foreign governments at ports they visit. There's no need for states to get involved with there goofy grey water polices.

What is the situation regarding the discharge of sewage as the boat is anchored? Does the Cornelia have any holding tanks for sewage? If so, are they near capacity? If not, what is being done to avoid pollution?

It has been at anchor in the lake, and appears on ais.

No, it has been anchored outside and off of Duluth. You can see video of it if you go to the cameras for Duluth and look offshore from the Duluth entry. Hope that this helps.

It's anchored out in the Lake just SE of the piers.

Is it still anchored in the harbor?

I've seen nothing on the local news here in Duluth or in the newspaper.

Is there any new information about the ship Cornelia that was detained in the Duluth harbor?
