Summary

In June 2015, St. James Marine and Fogg Towing said they were not leaving Beaver Island. The company described a shift to as-needed, full-barge-load freight trips amid slower demand and identified Beaver Island and Ironton as its dock locations.

Evidence limits

This record preserves the company’s contemporaneous public clarification. It does not independently measure freight volume or subsequent operations.

Sources

  1. The company said it retained Beaver Island and Ironton docks, while slowed freight demand meant trips would operate on an as-needed/full-barge-load basis. This is the company’s own clarification, not an independent business audit.
