Alsterstern pit stop

The Woodward Group tanker Alsterstern put in for a pit stop today, topping up her fuel tanks from Algoma Dartmouth then headig out to Saint John to load cargo.

Coastal Shipping Ltd., the Woodward tanker subsidiary, runs five tankers, all of them ice class, which in summer serve Newfoundland, Labrador and the Canadian arctic. Alsterstern and two identical sisters, Havelstern and Travestern are frequent callers in Saint John, but along with smaller fleet mates Dorsch and Nanny also run up the St.Lawrence to load.
