The first ‘saltie’ of the 2024 shipping season arrived at the Port of Duluth-Superior this past week. Duluth Seaway Port Authority Director of Communication and Marketing Jayson Hron said the arrival of the Portugal-flagged ship, Barbo G, is the second earliest arrival of an oceangoing vessel. A total of 21,000 tons of durum wheat was loaded onto that ship. “Oftentimes, it’s spring wheat but this year it’s durum wheat. That’s an exciting way to start the season for sure and hopefully building on the positive momentum we saw for grain in general in Q4 2023.” The shipment is headed to Algeria.
