Two bulk carriers kept tugs,pilots and linesboat crews busy today when the Alice Oldendorff departed the quarry at Aulds Cove shortly after 1500h with APA pilot Capt. Elias Dorey on the bridge directing the move .The tug Point Valiant with Capt.Andrea MacDonald at the helm worked to undock the vessel..The Alice O. was bound for New York city with 44,585 toones of construction aggregate.
After the Alice Oldendorff got underway the tug was released and it proceeded south to join up with the Point Chebucto with Capt. Derek King in command and both tugs were tasked by APA pilot Tony Pierce to assist with docking the bulk carrier Pioneer at the quarry dock..
The gusty south-south westerly winds and rain didn't seem to slow down either ship movement today.
Meanwhile at the Nustar Owean Berth One the crude oil tanker Asian Spirit
was slowly discharging cargo and was expected to depart in the early hours of the 21st
