Very nice, and good luck too!
That destination has certainly piqued my interest. Did you happen to look up the origin and what they were moving? I can’t imagine many ships are destined for Iqaliuit, but maybe I’m just totally naive.
*Iqaluit
Not in time no. They might not go down the canal much either. It seems this is the main supply routecompany for all the remote communities from quebec over to james bay area and what not when winter roads are not a thing and of course water is navigable. Seems they basically do milk runs for them.
The ship is riding very high. It must have been en route to Montreal to start loading cargo. All the heavy supplies are delivered by ship to points in the arctic. A friend of mine worked at an iron ore mine on Baffin Island in the early 1970′s and was telling me how the ships brought supplies in and carried the ore out.
Thanks all. I do wonder why they went down the canal..whatever they moved had to be a high value shipment or maybe the ship needed maintenance it could only get on the other side.
Yes marcus my luck was great. Ive only tried here once…..
…just a point of clarity for ship trackers, this cargo ship is the Qamutik. MV Kamutik is a passenger ferry.
Just a typo in the name – thanks for the clarification.
Stephen, is Clearwater Paper not now the Dunn Paper facility on Merritt St, which is no longer rail-served? Or is there another location you are referring to?
Yes, it is. Forgive me , the facility in St. Catharines still has clearwater paper signs all over the place so I can be confused at times. Add to that the rapid consolidation/change of hands of these paper plants… all over.
It’s all one and the same. If that plant closes it would probably reduce traffic 90% unless they win a new customer.
