Bulk Carrier From Marshall Islands Is The First Ship To Reach Montreal In 2016

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 01 Jan, 2016 02:31 PM
    MONTREAL — A bulk carrier called the Vigorous is the first ocean-going vessel to reach the Port of Montreal without a stopover in 2016.
     
    The Vigorous left from Sohar, Oman, on Nov. 30 and crossed the Montreal port's downstream limits at 5:21 Friday morning.
     
    The ship's captain will receive the gold-headed cane award, which has been presented since 1840 to the captain of the first vessel to arrive each year.
     
    In early years the award was a top hat, but it was changed to reflect the tastes of the period around 1880.
     
    Captain Jun Eric Alio Dalipe will accept the award from the Montreal port authority during a ceremony on Monday.
     
    The Vigorous flies the flag of the Marshall Islands and is operated by the Vigorous Shipping and Trading Co.
