I think I have an answer to your question. "Algoma Central Corporation provides dry bulk shipping services to shippers who do not require self-unloading technology."
She hauls mostly grain and the elevators have their own unloading equipment. She came in for iron ore pellets and the 2 ports she takes that cargo to are ArcelorMittal in Hamilton, Ontario and Quebec City for overseas transshipment. Both of those facilities have bridge crane unloaders with clam shell buckets.
Den, this is a new boat to the Lakes but I don't see any unloading equip. What's up with that.....Matt Bond Muskegon

DeleteI thought the same thing, for a bulk carrier, built this year one would have thought it would have a self-unloader on it.
