PERE MARQUETTE
On Apr 27, 2010, the tug boat-barge combination consisting of the US-flagged tug "Undaunted" (MMSI-No. 366578000) and the 5300-tons-barge "Pere Marquette 41" ran aground on a sandbar at the entrance to the Holland channel. After coming from the north and getting stuck on the sand bar, the 143-ft-tug with the 403 ft long barge backed off and entered the channel again, this time from the south. The barge came with a load of sand and trap rock used in manufacturing black top. After emptying at Verplank Dock, the barge was to take a cargo of metal for recycling at Louis Padnos Iron and Metal.
