Generator trouble in Toledo

On March 28, 2021, the 'Algoma Conveyor', while enroute from Thorold to Hamilton, suffered a failure of the hydraulic starter on its emergency generator while being berthed in Toledo, Ohio. The crew carried out repairs. On March 30 the ship continued its voyage to Port Colborne, where it arrived the same day.

Bulkcarrier refloated

The 'Algoma Conveyer' which ran aground on March 19 in the bay of Green Bay about five miles from the mouth of the Fox River has been refloated on MArch 26 and entered the port of Green Bay. On March 23 lightering of 3,000 metric tons of the ship’s cargo had commenced. Three tugs were then able to safely pull the 'Algoma Conveyor' back into the channel, before it returned to port under its own power.

Bulkcarrier will have to be lightered

The U.S. Coast Guard has begun work to free the 'Algoma Conveyor' in Green Bay, about five miles from the mouth of the Fox River. The ship had lost propulsion and moved outside the navigational channel while hauling salt to the Port of Green Bay. Some of the ship's load would need to be removed to lighten it and re-float it. All 18 members of the crew remained on board.
