Unloading Steel! the Mark W Barker Discharging Steel at Fraser Shipyard dock for Gerdau Ameristeel

The second time this year an Interlake Steamship vessel has arrived with Steel Rods for the Gerdau plant at Port Terminal. The first vessel was the Paul R Tregurtha. Ironically, the second visit of the season for the Mark W Barker as well as the 2nd vessel to be bringing steel. What a good use of the cargo holds for a usually empty ride up the lake. After discharging the steel, they will be heading to the SMET dock to load Coal.
