Cool...does the CG ship break the path right up to pier? Or can the freighter do that?

Fuch that man, that looks cold!!
Cool pics though.

Is this in Superior ? Deluth ?

too cool, thanks for sharing. I just swapped the anode on my bubbler, no more ice here.

I bet it's hard to keep paint on that bow.

Ice breaker does it all, makes sure the incoming ship has open water right to the berth.

No, P.E.I. Canada

You guys hiring?

Keep the pictures coming - I love this stuff.

Looks like a helo hanger on the back of the ice breaker.

Yes and yes!

First ship for this season

Must be empty?
To be loaded with grain?

No. 10,000 mt of product has to come off here.

Don’t forget to post pix!

Also, how does the ice breaker get close enough to the dock to break up the ice?

I’m loving phots! I admit large ships creep me out. Anything that big that moves on its own...totally irrational, I know.
The first time I went scuba diving I did fine until I looked up and saw the bottom of the hull of our boat. This wave of apprehension came over me.

How deep is that harbor?

My wife has a nephew who does this kind of work in Prince Rupert BC but he does not post pics like you do. Thanks for the pics. They are great.:)

Think this is right.
Summerside harbor:
Our Facilities | Summerside Port Corporation Inc.

28 ft plus approx. 6 ft tide alongside and 22 ft in channel plus tide

Neat pics YP. Back to the work season.
Did the ship drop the anchor on the way in to help turn the bow away from the dock, with no tug there? Or to help in getting off the dock when leaving?

Frightful how the ice closed back in once the ship was along side the dock, wind change bring it in? Will the icebreaker come back to dig them out?

This may put a dent in your Hotrod building time.
