PORT MACKENZIE-The third cement ship to Port MacKenzie successfully offloaded 12,120 metric tons of bagged cement over the holiday weekend.
This was the maiden voyage for the Panamax size vessel "Peace Lucky," which is 582.2' long. The vessel originated from Zhangjiagang Port in China and is owned by CLC-V-II Company Limited, and Operated by San Juan Navigation. The vessel departed over the weekend.
Friday, Port Director Marc Van Dongen said the offloading of the cement ship was part of some $30 million in work going on now at Port MacKenzie, including the expansion of the barge dock and the dirt work on the bimodal truck and rail loop. The offloading of cement bags went smoothly, he said.
"We're offloading 12 supersacks of cement about every seven minutes," Van Dongen said. "We've offloaded 4,000 sacks so far in a day and a half...and could be done mid-day Saturday."
