Sector Sault Sainte Marie â U.S. Coast Guard
SAULT SAINTE MARIE – U.S. Coast Guard Sector Sault Sainte Marie commenced Operation Taconite in advance of expected ice growth in the commercial ports of Western Lake Superior. Before ice impedes commercial navigation, an icebreaker was assigned to the region.
Monday, U.S. Coast Guard Cutter BISCAYNE BAY was assigned to manage the ice breaking needs of western Lake Superior, specifically the twin ports of Duluth, MN and Superior, WI as well as the Port of Thunder Bay, Ontario. As ice growth expands on the Great Lakes, additional Coast Guard ice breakers will join the operation.
