Thank you, President @RealDonaldTrump 🇺🇸

For standing with America’s shipbuilders, mariners, and the Jones Act.

Your support ensures American maritime dominance for generations to come.

In Cleveland, you might occasionally see cargo ships inching slowly along the Cuyahoga River.
Now, see what things are like inside one of them.
Go on board the Mark W. Barker, @InterlakeSSCo’s newest freighter, to experience this unique workplace.

What's it like to get a 639-foot-long ship around the tight bends of the Cuyahoga River?
“It’s challenging,” says captain Alex Weber. “Very crooked. Very windy.”

The Great Lakes Maritime Task Force recognized the significant contributions Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow has made throughout her Congressional career protecting the Great Navigation System and supporting American jobs with investment in U.S.-flagged Great Lakes shipping.

It's an epic #FreighterFriday!
Our 11 commercial vessels are fitting out at layup ports from Lake Superior to Lake Erie as the Soo Locks open today for the 2024-2025 season.
We're ready to crisscross the Lakes more than 700 times this year and deliver more than 20 million tons of essential cargoes that are the building blocks of America.
Our proud, family fleet is U.S. crewed, U.S. built and U.S. owned. We are #MadeInAmerica.

Looks like we photo bombed the morning newscast on @Fox8 yesterday! That's our 700-foot ATB Dorothy Ann-Pathfinder on her way up the Cuyahoga River with over 20,000 tons of iron ore for Cleveland-Cliffs steel mill. #greatlakes #greatcareers #essentialcargoes #shippingmatters

Sorry we couldn't get you to the Iron Range, @NordyWild but it was Wild to have you onboard for the day!

[Nordy @NordyWild]

I took a trip up to Duluth this off-season to visit the M/V Mesabi Miner. I thought they’d give me a ride to the Iron Range. Instead I was put to work in a variety of roles. Even inspecting the 260 ft boom out over Duluth Harbor! Fun time, thanks for having me @InterlakeSSCo!

The Mark W. Barker navigating the cuyahoga the other day.

-the boat is backing out since there is no where to turn around
-the captain of the ship does all of the navigating. No pilots needed
-the ship doesn’t require any tug boats to make it down the river, just bow and stern thrusters
