Seabulk Systems has opened a new office in Montreal to handle transhipment opportunities on the U.S. and Canadian East Coast. A new-patented Capesize vessel unloader (SCU) will be used to unload Cape bulkers and a unique 10,000dwt self-unloader will be used for loading into Panamax/Cape ships.
Captain John D. Pace has been appointed vice president, Marine Operations to manage Seabulk's Montreal operations. Captain Pace was involved in various aspects of self-unloading bulk carrier operations for more than 20 years at Canada Steamship Lines, most recently as vice president, Fleet Management.
