Glovis Century ties up at pier 9 – and unloads cars

In what I believe is a first, a Pure Car/Truck Carrier has tied up at pier 9. The Glovis Century arrived, rotated 180 degrees and tied up. She is likely unloading project cargo or heavy equipment.

Autoport is occupied as is pier 29/30 where car carriers normally tie up.

UPDATE: Looks like she was unloading Cars. No word on how they are moving off the pier – The On dock rail is blocked by parked cars, so they are either being trucked or Driven off.

She sailed Sunday Night.

Update 09/28: She returned to pier 9 this morning to re-load the cars she left behind.

Sunk in Pugwash, July 1967

The photo above appeared on my Twitter feed today. The ship New York News split in two and sank loading salt in Pugwash . The vessel originally carried newsprint for New York papers, but was sold and had recently been lengthened.

The vessel was salvaged, towed to Halifax and repaired. She currently is still trading under the Canadian flag as Wolf River
