What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The vessel must complete Transport Canada requirements before it receives a new name and paint job. The new boat replaces a vessel that was 115 years old.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The tug service reported that port activity has increased, which is attributed to the large amount of potash being loaded at Thunder Terminal and Mobil X Terminal. The acquisition of the new vessel increases the operational capacity of the tug service, which provides towage and ship assist in the area.
