Laker escorted to Fraser Shipyards by Coast Guard
The 'Honorable James L. Oberstar' has made the trip to Fraser Shipyards in Superior, Wisconsin after spending almost a week anchored in the St. Marys River. The freighter began the trip to the Fraser Shipyards on June 15. The U.S. Coast Guard reviewed engineering assessments of the laker with help from the Hay Lake Marine Casualty Unified Command and advisement from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Salvage Engineering Response Team to determine that the vessel was structurally sound and fit to make the 28-hour trip. The freighter arrived in Duluth on June 16, followed by the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter 'Spar'. The remaining cargo was unloaded at the CN Hallet 5 in Duluth, before the ship entered the yard.
