The ship is currently in service.

Algorail was launched on 13 December 1967, christened on 1 April 1968 and completed that month.[1][2] The second freighter of the name was registered at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario for Algoma Central.[1][2] A self-unloading bulk carrier, she is one of the last lake freighters built in the traditional two-superstructure style, with the bridge at the bow. The ship sails on the North American Great Lakes and the Saint Lawrence Seaway delivering coal/coke, aggregates, slag, iron ore/oxides, salt, fertilizers, grain products, gypsum, quartzite, or sand.[2] On 6 October 1972, Algorail collided with the pier at Holland, Michigan loaded with a cargo of salt. The pier tore a {{convert|12|ft|m|adj=on}} hole in her bow, which caused the vessel to sink. The ship was refloated, repaired and put back into service. On 20 April 1999, Algorail ran aground at Green Bay, Wisconsin in the Fox River. The ship was undamaged, but attempts by two tugboats to free the ship damaged the docks at Green Bay.[2] On 25 June 2013 she ran aground with a shipment of salt in the Saginaw River.[4][5] Zilwaukee Dock Manager Jim Cnudde cited Algorail{{'}}s running aground as an indication that greater efforts should be made to keep the river dredged.[6] The ship was freed after unloading some of her cargo into a barge.[6] References{{Commons category|Algorail (ship, 1968)}}1. ^1 2 3 4 {{csr|register=MSI|id=6805531|shipname=Algorail|accessdate=27 January 2018}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite web |url= http://www.boatnerd.com/pictures/fleet/algorail.htm |title= Great Lakes Fleet Page Vessel Feature -- Algorail (2) | website= Boatnerd.com |first= George |last=Wharton |accessdate= 27 January 2018 |archivedate= | archiveurl= |deadurl= No}} 3. ^{{csr|register=E|id=6805531|shipname=Algorail|accessdate=27 January 2018}} 4. ^{{cite news |url= http://www.mlive.com/news/bay-city/index.ssf/2013/06/busch_marine_inc_stands_by_to.html#/0 |title= Tugboat ready to assist freighter stuck on Saginaw River in Bay City |work= Michigan Live |first= Heather |last=Jordan |date= 25 June 2013 |accessdate=27 January 2017 |deadurl= No |quote= A lake freighter hauling salt remained stuck on the Saginaw River in downtown Bay City Tuesday, June 25, and now a tugboat from Busch Marine Inc. is at the scene to assist, if needed.}} 5. ^{{cite news |url= http://www.mlive.com/news/bay-city/index.ssf/2013/06/algorail_stuck_on_saginaw_rive.html |title= Algorail stuck on Saginaw River between Liberty and Veterans Memorial bridges in Bay City|work= Michigan Live |first= Heather |last=Jordan |date= 25 June 2013 |accessdate= 27 January 2018 |deadurl= No |quote= A ship hauling salt has been stuck on the Saginaw River between Liberty and Veterans Memorial bridges in Bay City since about 5 a.m. Tuesday, June 25.}} 6. ^1 {{cite news |url= http://www.mlive.com/news/bay-city/index.ssf/2013/06/lake_freighter_algorail_starts.html#/0 |title= Stuck lake freighter Algorail floats free in Saginaw River after getting help from a barge |work= Michigan Live |first= Jessica |last=Fleishman |date= 25 June 2013 |accessdate=27 January 2018 |deadurl= No |quote= The freighter Algorail was stuck in shipping channel from about 5 a.m. until 8 p.m. Tuesday, after the 650-foot vessel hit the bottom of the waterway between the Veterans and Liberty bridges.}} 4 : 1967 ships|Great Lakes ships|Algoma Central Marine|Transport in Sault Ste.
