ACC ANNOUNCES NACC HAS ACQUIRED 25% OWNERSHIP IN JT CEMENT PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE ALGOMA IN THE NEWS SHARE YOUR STORY EQUINOX UPDATE WOMEN IN THE INDUSTRY TRAINING & SCHOLARSHIPS NOVAALGOMA UPDATE SOCIAL MEDIA CORneR EMPLOYEE NEWS REMEMBERING LEGACY COMMUNITY -1- President’s Message Thanks to you, the employees of Algoma for the start of another successful year. On May 4th, we released our 1st quarter 2018 results which showed a significant improvement compared to the same period last year. We saw a substantial decrease in the net loss for continuing operations, mainly as a result of Product Tankers due to higher customer demand. With a great start to the season so far, I am confident that we will reach our targets for this year. Customer demand has remained strong and vessel capacity is tight across the industry. I am proud to say that our fleets are fully booked for the season. We have also reached agreements on contract renewals and new contracts covering approximately 35% of annual Domestic Dry-Bulk volumes with terms ranging from one to seven years. I would like to extend thanks to all members of the team who worked diligently to secure this business. Our Product Tankers segment also remains strong with customer demand from our largest customer remaining high for the season. In the Ocean Self-Unloaders segment the Algoma Intregrity has re-joined the Pool. Our Global Short Sea segment continues to grow with the NACC Argonaut set to join the fleet in June, bringing the total number of owned cement vessels to 13 with further vessel opportunities on the horizon. We have recently purchased 25% ownership in a fleet of seven pneumatic cement carriers, see page 6 for more details. The NASC fleet also continues to grow with the fleet now at 20 vessels. The year is looking promising for this global segment and the opportunity to acquire new vessels is a possibility. Stay tuned for more updates! In March, we welcomed two new Equinox Class vessels to the fleet, the Algoma Sault and the Algoma Innovator. Both began operations at the start of the navigation season. It was wonderful to see the Algoma Niagara open the canal this year and the Algoma Equinox was able to stand in as the first downbound vessel. The Algoma Buffaloand the Algoma Compass have joined the domestic fleet in operations. The Algoma Compass underwent an Algoma makeover and is now freshly painted in our fleet colours. I would like to extend my thanks again to all who participated in the name the vessel contest, I think that the Compass was a great choice! I would like to wish all of our crews a safe navigation season and to all our employees a great rest of the year and enjoy the summer! Fair winds and following seas, Ken Algoma Innovator Algoma Sault -2- ALGOMA INNOVATOR EQUINOX THUNDER BAY UPDATE WITH THE ADDITION OF THE NEW CLASS LEADING VESSELS Ken Bloch Soerensen, President and CEO “the 2018 navigation season is already turning out to be an exciting one - A lot has happened since the last edition of Bear First up for delivery was the Algoma Sault departing Jiangyin, China on February 1st heading for Davao, Philippines for fuel. ” Facts. Two new ships left the building yards from She arrived on February 10th, having had to pass on the western opposite sides of the globe and finally met in side of the islands due to weather. This proved to be only the first Canada within a week of each other. Work has also of many weather related deviations. The Sault stayed there for almost 3 days to receive a bottom scrubbing and propeller commenced on the Algoma Conveyor and is polish. After taking on a full load of fuel she proceeded on the progressing well on the Algoma Intrepid. The target long equatorial crossing of the Pacific to Panama where she delivery dates are in January 2019. transited the canal on the 20th of March to start the final leg of the voyage home. The Algoma Innovator departed from the shipyard in Rijeka, Croatia on February 23rd and made its first port of call at Itea, Greece to load a cargo of bauxite for her trip across the Atlantic. Finding and loading a cargo for the delivery voyage was a first for the Equinox series. Once the cargo was on the ship, she made her way to Augusta, Italy where the cargo piles were flattened out to ensure there would not be any cargo shifting issues during the voyage. Next stop was Gibraltar for fuel and from there onward on her Atlantic crossing. The Innovator departed Gibraltar on March 13th and proceeded southwards before striking west towards home. ALGOMA SAULT PANAMA CANAL -3- The weather last winter along the east coast was particularly unsettled even for the winter season in the North Atlantic. Both ships had to divert to avoid more than one of these storms, or slow /drift to let them pass; the result being extended delivery voyage times. The Innovator crossed the line first, arriving in Montreal on March 30th while the Sault arrived in Sept Iles on April 3rd. CHINA UPDATE All the while, back in Jiangyin, the Algoma Conveyor project had been gathering steam. Like most repair projects the first step is disassembly. Since then, the accommodation and funnel structure has been removed to make way for the installation of the main engine and the generators. In addition to the normal inspection and testing routines, the site team has been identifying items that were installed previously and required modification or have been updated since the initial design, essentially bringing this version of the Equinox program up to date. Accommodation and Funnel Blocks Removed A large amount of piping has also been removed and sent ashore for retreatment. During this process missing sections of pipe have been found and these pieces are now starting to show up at the ship. Electrical work to identify and test all cables previously installed resulted in nearly 100 km of cable being established as missing or not acceptable for use. Shortly after the accommodation block was removed the main engine was lifted into the ship to allow for final positioning of the propulsion shafting, confirmation of the rudder position and measurements to develop the final pipe connections and begin the process of finishing the various systems. One of the findings of the extended and unplanned layup period was the condition of the main propulsion shafting. Having been largely unprotected and open to the elements for almost 3 years, significant corrosion had taken place particularly in the area of the aft seal brass liner. Main Engine (220 tonnes) being lowered into position After review it was determined that the shaft had sufficient reserve strength and material to allow the defective surface layer to be removed by in-situ machining and polishing to bring the surface back to new condition. On May 23rd the ship was towed across the Yangzi River and drydocked on the floating dock at Chengxi shipyard. The ship will have the rudder and steering gear installed as well as other routine drydock inspections. Once back at Yangzijiang the main generators will be lifted into position and the accommodation block lifted back on and welded together for the final time. Cleaning of Hull for Inspection -4- CROATIA UPDATE After the delivery of the Algoma Innovator, the Uljanik Group (parent company of 3 Maj) went through a period of financial restructruring and in May of 2018 a new contractual agreement was reached with Algoma for the delivery of our vessels. In exchange for agreeing to extend the delivery dates Algoma received significant discounts off the original purchase price of all vessels. Delivery will start with the second 650’ vessel, the Algoma Intrepid (Hull 733), which should be ready for the 2019 season. Work has progressed, but has been very slow during the restructuring process; Algoma will likely be cancelling the 5th building contract as a result of these delays. The first keel block for Hull 528 was laid this month and we now have three vessels sitting in a row at the shipyard. Hull 733 Hull 733 is afloat and complete from a structural point of view. The self-unloading equipment is installed on the vessel’s interior and All Three vessels at the 3 Maj Shipyard. Hull 733 (left), the boom is on the ground ready for installation to the trunnion. The main work will be the mechanical and electrical installation related Hull 528 (middle), and Hull 527 (right) to the ancillary equipment, which is now on order for delivery. Hull 527 This ship is under construction on the slipway and is progressing at a slow, but steady rate. The majority of the equipment for this vessel still needs to be ordered, but work continues on the main structure and coatings. Block fabrication is a continuous process, but the ship still has a long way to go, delivery is scheduled for 3rd quarter 2019. Hull 528 Even though the keel has been laid, this vessel has taken the brunt of the delay due to the restructuring process and basic block fabrication is ongoing, but at a very slow pace. Hull 527 under contstruction on the slipway COMMISSIONING AND START-UP FOR THESE NEW SHIPS IS A BIG UNDERTAKING. I WANT TO THANK ALL THOSE ABOARD AND ASHORE FOR THEIR EXTRA EFFORTS. With your help and perserverance, we’re confident the Equinox self-unloaders will serve Algoma safely, reliably “ Gregg Ruhl, COO and efficiently for many years to come.

    SEPTEMBER • OCTOBER, 1996 VOLUME XLIV; Number 5 TELESCOPE Page 114 MEMBERSHIP NOTES • It is with deep regret that we announce the deaths of two long time supporters of the Dossin Museum. Sidonie Knighton and passed away last May and, her brother Ernest Dossin passed away in August. Both were active in the early 1960's when the museum opened and they maintained their support throughout nearly four decades. The Dossin Family donated one-half of the funds needed to build the museum and the pavillion to house their famous hydroplane Miss Pepsi. GLMI members will also note other changes at the museum this fall. Roy Vanderkhove will be retiring after thirty-four years. Roy came shortly after the museum opened and has seen both the good times of expan­ sion and deep budget cuts. Members visiting the museum during special events may see Roy in his new role as a volunteer, still smiling as he greets people at the front door. Also retiring during the summer was Preston Thomas. As preparator of exhibits, his talents on the restoration of the William Clay’ Ford's pilothouse allowed the public to view an interacting exhibit. One only has the see the children's excitement as they command their own ship. MEETING NOTICES • The next joint GLMI/MHSD entertainment meeting will be Saturday, November 16, 1996 at 11 00 am in DeRoy Hall at the museum. Our guest speaker, Keith Stefke will present a slide program detailing the ships of Wyandotte, Michigan.

  • Upper Lakes Shipping Finding
    1 INTRODUCTION This fonds consists of the corporate records of Upper Lakes Group Incorporated and its subsidiary corporations, specifically Upper Lakes Shipping and ULS Marbulk Limited. ULS is currently the second largest Canadian shipping company operating on the Great Lakes and overseas. The material is relatively recent dating from 1951 to 1971, and 1988. As an initial accession it holds potential to be one of among our institution's best collections documenting the history and growth of a shipping company whose genesis is surprisingly different from that of other Canadian shipping companies. This difference should prove intrinsic to the fonds intellectual value due to the linkages it can provide within the broader scope of Canadian business history - historic linkages with the purchasers and processors of Canada' primary staple commodity, wheat. ULS moreover, is perhaps best known within the academic (and shipping) communities for its unique contribution to recent labour history. As one of the largest, and oldest shippers on the Great Lakes its records should provide a solid counterpoint for comparative analysis with the fonds of other Great Lakes shipping companies within our archival holdings. This fonds naturally lends itself to the study of transportation history, marine and technology history, and labour history: combined its antecedents within the grain trade, it offers potential for a broad overview of Canadian business history during its most interesting period. 2 ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY Unlike other shipping fleets created by maritime men who fostered, raised, and nurtured each ship like a new arrival to the family, Upper Lakes Shipping began life very much the unplanned child: and its putative father was the Toronto Elevator Company.

Maritime Administration photograph, date unknown, Vessel History The M/V Cape Lobos is a roll-on, roll-off carrier1 built in 1971–72 for the Burnett Steamship Company, Ltd., of Newcastle, England. The ship was originally built as the Laurentian Forest, the first of two identical ships ordered by Burnett (a subsidiary of Federal Commerce & Navigation, Ltd., Montreal [Fednav]) from Port Weller Dry Docks, Ltd., in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. The ship made its first sea trial on Lake Ontario on September 27, 1972. Laurentian Forest was delivered to its owners in November 1972.2 The ship passed through a succession of British and American owners before the Maritime Administration (MARAD) purchased the ship in 1987 for use in its National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF). Cape Lobos and its identical sister ship, Avon Forest (now Cape Lambert), were designed by Knud E. Hansen I/S of Copenhagen, Denmark, specifically to carry Canadian newsprint to Europe and European cars to Canada. Harrison’s (Clyde) Ltd. of Glasgow, Scotland, managed the ships’ design and construction. Their design included a number of features intended to allow 1 Sometimes called Ro/Ro, which describes how wheeled-vehicular cargo is loaded and unloaded. 2 “M.V.
