Ryerson would be tying up for winter. That was with more than two months left before ice closes lake shipping for the season. Since then, more ships have joined the Ryerson, tied up at docks including those in Superior's Frazier shipyards. Dozens more are idled in other Great Lakes harbors. It was a surprising turnaround to a promising shipping season, according to Adolf Ojard, who directs the Duluth Seaway Port Authority. "This year started out very strong," Ojard said. "We expected to see record coal, and we still may, as well as record iron ore. These are near-term records on iron ore that I'm talking about. "All of a sudden, October started to hit and by November, tonnage was falling off drastically," Ojard continued. "Now we're into early layup, so we're not going to have anywhere near the season that we had originally anticipated." October is when the economy took a drastic turn for the worse, pushing down the Dow Jones industrials, the steel industry and the region's taconite mines with it. A harbor feels it when cargo stops moving. There's money made for every ton of cargo moved. It creates jobs for railroad and dock workers, the people who sell ship provisions like food and fuel, and others, like ship inspectors. James Weakley is president of the Lake Carriers Association, whose members own the cargo ships that ply the Great Lakes. Weakley said two of the lakes' three primary bulk cargoes have been hard hit by the economy -- limestone, which is used in construction, and taconite for the steel industry. "Towards the end of the year, the bottom fell out quicker than certainly I anticipated, so we had ships laying up early in the season," Weakley said. "And more of them laying up than probably I've seen since the early '80s." The first ships to tie up were the least efficient, including older and smaller ships that can't compete with the efficiency of the bigger vessels. "The smaller the boat, the less efficient the carrier, the more likely it is to lay up earlier in the season. Our thousand- footers, our largest boats, will be out towards the end," Weakley said. "We still have quite a bit of coal to move out of the Duluth-Superior harbor to the lower lakes. So, we'll still have boats that will be out right until the locks close on the 15th of January, and hopefully some of those ships will be out when the locks open up again." Now, Weakley wonders how the coming season might shape up. He describes shipping as a lagging indicator that won't pick up until the industry does. "The last report I heard was 20 of the 29 blast furnaces in North America are currently idled, so we'll have to see how that plays out and how our business can get back," he said. Eleven ships are scheduled to winter in Duluth and Superior. That's not a bad thing, according to port director Ojard. Each ship will generate $500,000 or more in local business. There's a small industry maintaining the ships for winter. "There's a lot of work that goes on during the winter months," Ojard said. "This is two months of catchup on maintenance. There's main engine overhauls. There's a lot of inspection that goes on." Distribution : daily 5675+ copies worldwide Page 2 www.maasmondmaritime.com/Inschrijven.aspx DAILY COLLECTION OF MARITIME PRESS CLIPPINGS 2009 – 001 And there's always reason to be hopeful. While the next shipping season may start off slowly, Ojard thinks a federal program to build new infrastructure could quickly help shipping. "If we have a stimulus package, we're going to see a lot of limestone being moved for aggregate business, for highway construction, etc.," Ojard said. "And if there's any recovery in steel capacity that, again, is tied to the stimulus package, we could see a rebound in the iron ore production by the second quarter or start of the third quarter." It may not be a bad year to tie up early for another reason -- winter has set in with a vengeance. There's already 18 inches of ice in the Duluth harbor. That puts harbor tugs to work pushing ships through the ice, but it drives up the cost to ship owners.

The editor of Sovfracht Maritime Bulletin said the pirates have seized some 50 vessels this year, including two yachts, and more than 25 Russian sailors, though some have since been released. "More than 300 sailors are being held captive, to be precise 287 plus an indefinite number of crew members from fishing boats of Yemen and Kenya," Mikhail Voitenko said. "The average ransom they demand is $1.8 million per vessel, and 60 days is the average amount of time spent in captivity." The editor said 15 vessels have been released for ransom in the last half a year, and the pirates are still holding 17 boats and two yachts. The current captives include 11 Russians, one Estonian and one Georgian on board the CEC Future as well as two Russians, 17 Ukrainians and one Latvian on board the Faina. Eight Ukrainian nationals were also seized along with the Bosphorus Prodigy cargo ship. Pirates have been increasingly active in the waters off Somalia, where more than 120 ships have been attacked this year. The navies of at least 16 countries are involved in anti-piracy operations off the coast of the East African nation. The UN Security Council adopted a resolution in December authorizing countries and multinational organizations involved in tackling piracy to "undertake all necessary measures in Somalia, including in its airspace" to prevent "acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea."

McKinney was aboard the yacht "Dignity" to assess the impact of Israel's aerial attacks on people living in the Gaza strip, according to human rights group Free Gaza, which had organized the delivery of more than 3 tons of supplies "Israeli patrol boats...tracked us for about 30 minutes...and then all of a sudden they rammed us approximately three times, twice in the front and once in the side...the Israelis indicated that [they felt] we were involved in terrorist activities," she said. The group said several Israeli warships surrounded the boat and fired rounds near it at 6am (UST) about 90 miles off the coast of Gaza. They then intentionally rammed it three times, they said. The group issued a call for the Israeli government to "STOP attacking the civilian population of Gaza and STOP using violence to prevent human rights and humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people."

  • Corporate Plan Summary 2016/17
    Corporate Plan 2016/17 – Summary 2020/21 January 6th, 2016 Executive Summary 2015/16 was another exciting and successful year for Marine Atlantic Incorporated (MAI). In 2015/16, MAI received funding and approval from its Shareholder, the Government of Canada, to purchase the MV Blue Puttees and the MV Highlanders. These vessels have been in service with MAI since 2011, and since that time, have contributed greatly to the improved performance realized by the organization. On-time performance, recovery times for weather delays, revenue and expense per AEU (automobile equivalent unit), fuel management, and last but not least, customer satisfaction have all improved significantly since the introduction of these vessels. Purchasing these vessels was a significant milestone for the Corporation. Owning the vessels provides MAI with a level of operational and fleet stability that it will enjoy well into the future. These vessels are the foundation upon which MAI’s Long Term Fleet Strategy is based, and takes the Corporation a step further towards its goal of operating a homogenous fleet. The Corporation opened its new terminal building in North Sydney in June 2015. The state of the art building, which was several years in the making, was received very positively by the Corporation’s customers as well as the general public. MAI has maintained strong on-time performance levels for a number of years now. 2015/16 was no exception, as the Corporation’s on-time performance sits at 92%. This is despite having experienced some of the worst ice conditions in years early in the spring of 2015, which resulted in much longer crossing times, and in several instances, day-long delays as both MAI’s ferries and the Coast Guard icebreakers were stuck in the ice.
