Was at CSX3 / Hansen's for some repairs. Gone now. Headed to Calcite.

As of 12/1, they are upbound in the Detroit River.

She's scheduled to deliver limestone at Duluth/Superior on December 4th.

She's outbound Toledo this morning(12/1) for Calcite.

Boatnerd's AIS has her at one of Toledo's old lakefront coal berths. If recall serves there were photos on social media of the Republic a few days ago at Grand Haven or maybe Ferrysburg, just before she went to Toledo, ballasted unusually high out of the water at both the bow and the stern. Those photos were accompanied by some speculation that she was in need of some kind of hull repair. Perhaps such repairs aren't major, or are above the waterline so to speak, if she hasn't gone into drydock for them.

She's tentatively listed on the ship schedule for Duluth as delivering limestone this weekend, which might indicate that the repairs aren't expected to take very long.

Is she at the shipyard?

Does anyone know if the Great Republic has laid up in Toledo?
