| ALGOSEA (3) upbound on the St. Lawrence Seaway |
Tanker built in 1998 as "AGGERSBORG" in Mobile, Alabama. She became "ALGOSEA" when acquired by Algoma in 2005. Her sister ship ALGOMA HANSA (formerly AMELIENBORG) has since been sold (following the end of the 2022 season) and is currently sailing as "ALGO" under the flag of Liberia.
ALGOSEA remains active for Algoma Tankers during the winter months, currently making runs between Sarnia & Nanticoke.
Historically, the name "ALGOSEA" also appeared on the hull of 1983-built self-unloader AMBASADOR / CANADIAN AMBASSADOR when Algoma required the short-term use of another vessel during the 2000 shipping season. After briefly sailing as "ALGOSEA (2)", her name "AMBASADOR" was restored. This vessel also sailed as "PRAMUDITA" in 2012 (before ultimately being scrapped in 2014).
Looking back even further, the 1970-built vessel "BROOKNES" was converted to a self-unloader and re-named "ALGOSEA (1)" from 1976-1982. Resumed sailing as SAUNIERE and for a time was a frequent sight on the Seaway. (SAUNIERE was ultimately scrapped in 2011).
