November 1 Vessel Report
U.S.-Flag Lakes lines had 62 of their 68 vessels in service on November 1, a decrease of 4 ships compared to a year ago.
(The decrease in the total number of vessels available for service reflects the sale of the JOHN J. BOLAND to a Canadian
operator.) The decrease in the number of dry-bulk carriers reflects the season-long lay-up of the EDWARD L. RYERSON
and KINSMAN ENTERPRISE. Additionally, the MYRON C. TAYLOR is undergoing repairs in a shipyard.
