The anticipation builds as stakeholders await the announcement of the upcoming destination for this ship. Stay tuned for updates on her next maritime journey!

The Port of Montreal welcomed its first international vessel of 2016, the bulk carrier Vigorous, marking a noteworthy event in its shipping history. The ship, registered under the flag of the Marshall Islands, embarked from Sohar, Oman, on November 30 and docked at the Montreal port’s downstream limits in Sorel, Quebec, at precisely 5:21 AM on Friday. Captain Jun Eric Alio Dalipe will be honored with the prestigious Gold-Headed Cane award during a ceremony held by the Montreal port authority on Monday. This award, a tradition since 1840, recognizes the captain of the first ship to arrive each year. Originally a top hat in its early inception, the award was later transformed to fit the fashion of the 1880s, evolving into the gold-headed cane it is today. Operated by the Vigorous Shipping and Trading Co., the arrival of the Vigorous is a significant milestone for Montreal's maritime activities this year.
