Bulk Carrier Algoma Conveyor Successfully Refloated After Grounding Incident
The Algoma Conveyor, a bulk carrier that ran aground on March 19, 2023, in Green Bay, approximately five miles from the Fox River's mouth, has been successfully refloated as of March 26, 2023. After the grounding, a lightering operation initiated on March 23, where 3,000 metric tons of the vessel's cargo were offloaded, enabling the ship to be freed. With the assistance of three tugboats, the Algoma Conveyor was safely navigated back into the shipping channel and eventually made its way into the port of Green Bay under its own power.

Efforts Underway to Free the Stuck Algoma Conveyor in Green Bay
The U.S. Coast Guard is actively engaged in operations to rescue the 'Algoma Conveyor', which has run aground on the outskirts of the navigational channel in Green Bay, approximately five miles from the Fox River's entrance. The bulk carrier, which was transporting salt to the Port of Green Bay, experienced a loss of propulsion that led it off course. In order to safely re-float the vessel, a portion of its cargo will need to be lightered to reduce its weight. Fortunately, all 18 crew members remain safely aboard the ship.
