I saw the American Spirit upbound at the Soo Locks on Saturday 10-20-24 with what looked like a GLT tug assisting on its upbound approach to Poe Lock. Is the ship experiencing propulsion and or bow thruster problems?
In addition, a few hours later I saw the Burns Harbor going downbound and it appeared that only its starboard shaft was turning at regular speed from what its wake looked like. It also appeared that one of the Algoma Equinox class vessels with a bow mounted boom had to tie up on the MacArthur Lock approach wall to await the Burns Harbor to exit the Poe Lock before moving over to the Poe Lock approach wall. Was wondering if the Burns Harbor was also having some type of propulsion problems.
