Algocanada Arrives At Cleveland, Leaves Without Unloading

Mar 19, 2026

Algocanada arrived in Cleveland Tuesday 3/10/26 assisted by the tugs Puerto Rico (Capt. Paul LaMarre in command) and Pennsylvania. The tanker was escorted to the Sunoco dock on the Cuyahoga River but was unable to tie up due to her draft. After an hour or so, Algocanada was towed back out of the river and departed for Nanticoke without unloading any product. Waterfront reports indicate she may have been over draft.
