PAC Athena Makes it to the Grain Elevator

Yesterday evening PAC Athena started to move. However, to our surprise, it appeared as if the ship was sailing up the river and then back down the river. This went on until we when to bed. My only speculation is that they had to vacate the mooring that they were occupying for the last few days and the grain elevator was not yet ready for them. 

This morning when I checked the ship’s position, it was at the grain elevator and the track history indicated that it arrived at about 3:30am EDT. Well, that’s progress. Now if only someone would tell us what that mean’s to the schedule so we know when it will arrive at Port Everglades for loading.

This is the moorage next to the grain elevator in New Orleans. PAC Athena looks a lot like the front ship in this picture. (photo from Google Earth)
