"Manitoulin "
Lower Lakes Towing Ltd.’s river-class vessel Manitoulin (IMO 8810918) is the result of joining the pre-existing stern section of a Danish-registered chemical tanker with a new, self-unloading bow section built in China.
The saltwater saltwater Lalandia Swan, owned by Uni Tankers, was purchased in 2014 and rebuilt for Great Lakes service under the Canadian flag in 2015 with a new, self-unloading bow section. The bow section was built in 2014-15 at Chengxi Shipyards, Jiangyin, China. The stern section was built in 1991 at Uljanik Shipyard, Pula, Croatia. (Stern name history: Trelsi '08-'01, Euro Swan '01-'11, Lalandia Swan '11-'15)
Manitoulin was christened in China in September 28, 2015. She sailed for Canadian waters via the Pacific Ocean and the Panama Canal, arriving in Canada in mid-November 2015. After a cargo of ballast stone was unloaded, she entered service with a load of iron ore to Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.
Manitoulin was dedicated in a ceremony at Sarnia, Ont., on September 16.
