Minnesota Iron Ore going to France on the Federal Yukina! Departing Duluth carrying the Iron Range!

I have a video of this vessel visiting us back in 2021, a repeat visitor to the Twin Ports! https://youtu.be/Scf7XYInIVY

About this visit:
They arrived Duluth August 26 2023 at 21:47:00 PM. They came in under ballast, heading up river to the CN dock to load the Iron Ore.
The Yukina pulled into the CN dock at 23:11:00 PM and began loading the ore. 42.4 hours later August 28 they finally finished loading the ore. Keeping in mind the holds on these "Salties" were not designed around the loading chutes on the Ore Docks! They have to shuttle the ship "to and fro" to keep loading the ship evenly. I also heard the ballast pumps are quite a bit slower than the ones on the "lakers" slowing down the process.
They departed Duluth after 45.2 hours in port, heading to Dunkirk France to deliver our Minnesota mined ore!
