Win­ter layup sea­son is wrap­ping up at Great Lakes Ship­yard. Repair work took place on the fol­low­ing vessels:
— Amer­i­can Steamship Company’s M/V SAM LAUD,
— Grand Riv­er Navigation’s M/V MANITOWOC,
— Inter­lake Steamship Company’s artic­u­lat­ed tug-barge DOROTHY ANN and PATHFINDER,
— McK­eil Marine’s Tug LEONARD M and Barge HURON SPIRIT, and
— Ryba Marine’s tug KATHY LYNN and Barge OBE 185.

The ves­sels were berthed in the yard for planned repairs and rou­tine main­te­nance, as well as var­i­ous inspec­tions and mis­cel­la­neous renewals. The bru­tal win­ter made the effort a real chal­lenge, but all work was com­plet­ed safe­ly, prompt­ly and in a qual­i­ty manner.

Great Lakes Ship­yard also com­plet­ed indus­tri­al main­te­nance and win­ter repairs at Cleve­land Bulk Ter­mi­nal. That work includ­ed rebuild­ing one of the facility’s field con­vey­or hop­pers. Carmeuse Lime & Stone oper­ates the Port-owned Cleve­land Bulk Ter­mi­nal, han­dling iron ore and lime­stone that arrive by ship from oth­er Great Lakes ports.
