Algoport

The Algoport was constructed as a self-unloading bulk carrier for Algoma Central Corporation. She was built with a Nova Scotia class certification, and featured a v-Shaped bow for icebreaking.

The Algoport was the second of ten similar ships built by Collingwood Shipyards in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. The other ships were the Algobay, Nanticoke, Algowood, Lake Wabush, Algowest, Atlantic Superior, John B. Aird, Prairie Harvest, Hon. Paul Martin, and Paterson.

Her self-unloading equipment consisted of a triple hold belt leading to an aft loop-belt system to a 261′ deck-mounted boom.
On September 6, 2009 the Algoport broke in half and sank in heavy seas while under tow to China for conversion. The tow had encountered some rough seas from Tropical Storm Dujuan that had passed near the vessel's route. The tow was about one week away from her destination when the Algoport sank in approximately 16,404' (5,000 m) of water, location 30°0'0" N by 130° 0' 0" E (East China Sea south of Japan). There were no injuries, loss of life or environmental issues reported from the foundering.
