We had a surprise visitor this week when the Manitowoc arrived late Wednesday morning to deliver stone at the Verplank dock. They managed to squeeze the load on the west half of the dock, as a new dock face of steel sheet piling is being installed on the east end of the facility.
We heard through one of the Manitowoc’s crew members that they woud be returning to Holland with a load for Brewer’s, but they had not arrived by midday. They may be in today.
In the middle of the week, we expect to see the Maumee bring another load of coal to the James DeYoung power plant. The vessel is expected to load in Chicago early Wednesday morning. If that schedule holds, it should be here late Wednesday evening or early Thursday morning. Then over the long Labor Day holiday weekend, we should see another coal delivery on the Manistee.
