The large bulk carrier ship docked in the Owen Sound harbour is moving around Wednesday afternoon, ahead of its planned departure.
An emailed statement from Algoma Central Corporation says:
“The John D. Leitch is required to shift along the East Harbour Wall to the north end and moor there to complete necessary service work before departure. We have been advised that to ensure public safety, the Harbour Master will instruct individuals stationed at the federal working port to relocate. Algoma acknowledges this may inconvenience some attendees of the Salmon Derby, but it is essential that all parties work together to ensure the vessel manoeuvres safely.”
The exact time as to when the ship will be heading out was not provided, but it is expected to leave the area by Sunday afternoon.
