Tim S. Dool Aground (in Ontario)

Leave a reply

At the beginning of last week I drove to Ontario, and on the way back was able to stop in Morrisburg to take a look at the grounded bulk carrier Tim S. Dool.

The Tim S. Dool, loaded grain in Thunder Bay, sailing November 17 for Quebec. Passing through Morrisburg, it left the channel and wedged the bow on Chrysler shoal November 23. Several attempts to pull the ship off failed, and crews began removing cargo late last week , and successfully unstuck the ship earlier today, and is currently at anchor.

The Tim S Dool was built in 1967, and is owned and operated by Algoma Central.

Algotitan

The tanker AlgoTitan arrived late this afternoon and tied up at berth 25. Algotitan arrived in Halifax in December as Chantaco, and joined the Canadian Flag in January 2023. Sice then the ship has plied the domestic refined products trade, sailing the Great lakes and making several stops in Halifax.

The stop at pier 25 is likely for maintenance or supplies.

Veteran fleet mate Algoscotia is tied up opposite on Pier A, at Berth 27. Horizon Arctic is at Pier 28, and ONE Eagle at Pier 41

with no movements into or out of the harbour, since the Ethan sailed yesterday at noon, the First ship of 2019 looks to be the Algoma Verity, due at the pilot at 6:30pm tonight, bound for National Gypsum.

UPDATE 7:25pm: Algoma Verity has twice delayed its arrival, and is now due at 7am tomorrow. the car carrier MEDITERRANEAN HIGHWAY is due at 5:30am, bound for autoport, and will now likely be the first arrival of the New Year. there was one departure today – the tug Spitfire III bound for Saint John.

Algoma has acquired the product tanker Algoterra. The ship arrived at Pier 9 Sunday morning, and crews went right to work painting out her old name.

E K is all that remains of the ships former name(s)

Built in 2010 as the Louise Knutsen, the ship was renamed Louise K for the delivery trip. The ship also becomes the newest tanker in Algoma’s fleet which was built between1998-2008. Algoma took posession of the ship in Amsterdam on April 1. Algoma has been on a buying spree as of late, acquiring the product tanker AlgoNorth late last year.
