Coming In Fast! Indiana Harbor arrives for Taconite 4/09/2021
Info provided by BoatNerd.com
Built by Bay Shipbuilding Co., Sturgeon Bay, WI, this twin-screw self-unloading bulk carrier was launched March 19, 1979 as the Indiana Harbor for American Steamship Co., Buffalo, NY. She is powered by four GM V-20-cylinder 3,500 horsepower diesel engines giving her a rated service speed of 14 knots. She is equipped with bow and stern thrusters. The Indiana Harbor's 37 hatches feed into seven holds where she is capable of carrying 78,850 tons at her maximum mid-summer draft of 34 feet. Her stern-mounted self-unloading equipment feeds a 250-foot-long discharge boom that can be swung 92 degrees to port or starboard.
Indiana Harbor was the ninth 1000 footer built for Great Lakes service. She was the eighth of 10 vessels launched for the American Steamship Co. under Title XI of the Merchant Marine Act of 1970. Under this Act, U.S. shipping companies could modernize their fleets or build new vessels with guaranteed government financing and tax deferred benefits. She became the first U.S. flagged vessel on the Great Lakes to have a satellite communication system installed, the installation taking place Nov. 28, 1983.
Indiana Harbor is currently an active carrier in the American Steamship Co. fleet principally in the iron ore trade from Lake Superior ports to destination ports in lower Lake Michigan. She has the distinction of carrying the largest single passage cargo through the Soo Locks in 1998: 69528 net tons of iron ore.
