摘要：	Anew, U.S.-flagged Great Lakes bulk carrier built at a Great Lakes shipyard has been delivered for the first time in 40 years. In 2019, the Interlake Steamship Co., awarded a contract to Fincant-ieri Bay Shipbuilding to build a new River-class, self-unloading bulk carrier. It is believed to be the first ship for U.S. Great Lakes service built on the Great Lakes since 1983. The ship will transport raw materials to support manufacturing in the Great Lakes region. The 639'×78'×45', 28,000-dwt Mark W Barker was built at Bay Ship in Sturgeon Bay, Wis. Interlake Steamship, Middleburg Heights, Ohio, operates the largest privately held U.S.-flag fleet on the Great Lakes, with nine vessels that carry bulk cargoes. Its newest vessel, until now, the Paul R. Tregurtha, was built at American Ship Building Co., Lorain, Ohio, in 1981. The l,013'×105'×56'Paul R. Tregurtha has a capacity of 68,000 tons and is the longest vessel on the Great Lakes. Bay Engineering Inc., Sturgeon Bay, designed the Mark W Barker bulk carrier, complete with advanced vessel and unloading systems automation. With a draft of 29'1", the new self-unloading bulk carrier has a unique cargo hold arrangement and cargo hatch covers designed for maximum cubic space and the ability to handle difficult cargoes. The vessel incorporates a flap rudder as well as bow and stern thrust-ers for high-level maneuverability.
