Went to Toronto to unload, and returned to Port Weller for repairs.Damaged rudder on December 26, while bound for Lake Ontario with coal cargo. Cargo transferred to ALGOWAY at Port Huron, with AGAWA CANYON then being towed to winter lay-up at Sarnia's government dock by tugs MALCOLM and GLENADA. Repairs performed over winter.
