Might better call it a Self Unloading Tug/Barge Lake Bulk Carrier. Intergrated Tug/ Barge you know 2nd. 1000 footer on the lakes and now owned by Canadian National. Unloading raw Hematite (ore) from any large carrier would be very, very hard today. So it is shipped all rail. I cannot read the bow draft numbers, but she looks about loaded for spring draft. Nice picture.l
