GLIN==> 1st Saltie of Shipping Season headed to Duluth-Superior; Friday arrival to be Port's EARLIEST on RECORD

Just wanted to give all of you a heads-up that the first saltie of the season is headed toward the Port of Duluth-Superior - and will be making a bit of history with an ETA of March 29, earliest on record for this port since the Seaway opened...

Port of Duluth-Superior prepares for earliest arrival of 1st Saltie of the Season
           Duluth, Minn. USA - The Port of Duluth-Superior is preparing to welcome its first oceangoing ship ("saltie") of the 2013 commercial shipping season. The Hong Kong-flag Federal Hunter is expected to arrive on Friday afternoon, March 29, which will also put it first in Twin Ports' history books as the earliest arrival for a full transit of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway (GLSLS) system. The previous record was set by the India-flag L/T Argosy on April 1, 1995.
Adding to excitement is the anticipated weekend arrival of a sister ship, the Cyprus-flag Federal Elbe, almost on Hunter's heels...  [see full release attached plus Fednav flyer about the Federal Hunter]



Thank you!
