I got this at boatnerd After I recieve my email this morning, I will update from USCG. Again this is NOT from the USCG. Ice delays continue on Great Lakes, Welland Canal 3/31 - There’s no new news across the lakes as traffic continues to be delayed and icebreakers slug it out trying to reach the Soo. The USCG Mackinaw and her ice convoy – reduced from three vessels to two – remain battling heavy ice on eastern Lake Superior. Katmai Bay departed Duluth at 9 a.m. to break out Taconite Harbor. Presque Isle remained in Duluth with her boom swung over the American Spirit to offload her cargo. Presque Isle was part of the Lake Superior convoy and was damaged in the ice. Her offloading of cargo suggests repairs will be significant. Mesabi Miner returned to the Twin Ports at 10:30 p.m. She departed the Twin Ports last week with coal for Taconite Harbor and will remain docked until conditions improve. At the Welland Canal, vessels remained tied up waiting for ice breaking assistance. Algoma Equinox remains on the wall above Lock 8 with the Baie Comeau. The Canadian heavy icebreaker Des Groseilliers was entering Lake Ontario westbound Sunday night, heading to work Lake Erie. The heavy Canadian Coast Guard ship Pierre Radisson docked in Windsor for the night Sunday. She will continue upbound Monday to assist in the upper lakes break out. Around the lakes, reports indicate a number of vessel fit-outs and sailings have been pushed back due to the ice conditions.
