One of the newest additions to the Algoma Fleet, ALGOSOLIS completes the trio of Sun, Earth and Moon. (along with fleetmates ALGOTERRA and ALGOLUNA).

JUTLANDIA SWAN (built 2015) upbound October 13, 2024

Foreign tanker with previous name of MAREX NOA still visible on her bow.

Owned by Uni-Tankers out of Denmark, flying the flag of Malta.

At the time of writing, she had just arrived in Barranquilla, Columbia.

FEDERAL SHIMANTO (built 2001) downbound October 13, 2024

There's a certain look to these FedNav boats from the early-2000s, with a narrow superstructure and large bridge wings.

(sister ship to FEDERAL YOSHINO)

BLAIR MCKEIL (built 2010) downbound October 19, 2024

Early morning arrival for BLAIR MCKEIL at Iroquois.

ONEGO NEVA (built 2008) downbound October 19, 2024

(formerly sailed as LEANDRA, THORCO COBRA and MARMINDORO)

German-owned heavy-duty crane ship flagged out of Antigua & Barbuda.

After exiting the Seaway, she headed back across the Atlantic to Montoir, France.

She would cross the Ocean yet again, this time for the Dominican Republic.

(Other ships in the Onego fleet that have visited the Seaway are ONEGO MAAS and ONEGO DUERO)

POLSTEAM LEBSKO (built 2024) downbound October 19, 2024

One of three new vessels owned by Polska Zegluga Morska, better known as Polsteam or PZM of Poland.

Always special to see FRONTENAC in this neck of the river.

Frequently travelling down from the Lakes as far as Johnstown (Ontario), today she's bound for Morrisburg with a cargo of salt. Just a handful of lake ships remain with the forward wheelhouse (and steering pole).

OAKGLEN (built 1980) upbound October 27, 2024

Just love the look of "Salty Laker" OAKGLEN (formerly FEDERAL DANUBE).

Of four sister vessels, she's the last one still sailing.

From this angle the stripes on her smokestack looks like oldschool CSL.

(formerly sailed as BELUGA MATURITY, BELUGA FIRMAMENT, BBC CELINA)

The BBC Crane ships have become a common sight on the Seaway.
