The one-year-old Munteborg arrived Saturday, Oct. 9, 1999, to deliver 1,013 metric tons of woodpulp from two mills in Sweden.

Lake Superior Warehousing Co., Inc., cargo operator at the Clure Public Marine Terminal, began unloading operations at 8 a.m. today. The receiver is Cellmark, Inc. This is the first time Lake Superior Warehousing has handled this type of cargo.

The Munteborg will move to Duluth's General Mills elevator at approximately 10 p.m. today. She will be loading 8,100 metric tons of beet pulp pellets destined for Locruna, Spain. She is expected to depart tomorrow evening (Oct. 13).

The 440-foot general cargo vessel, commanded by Capt. Menno J. Van Der Groen, will celebrate her first full year of operation tomorrow (Tuesday, Oct. 12). On her second visit to this Port, she loaded beet pulp pellets for Ireland late in the season last year. She has an 11-member crew and employs the latest technology in sonar, radar and computer controls.
The Munteborg is one of several new vessels recently ordered by Wagenborg Shipping, Delfzijl, Netherlands. The company has expanded its service into the Western Hemisphere, the Middle East and Asia, with more than a dozen new 8,700-ton-range ships being delivered to Wagenborg's fleet by the end of 2000 from the Shipyard Bodewes "Volharding." Her sisters Vechtborg, Munteborg, Egbert Wagenborg, Markborg and Dintelborg have also made trips to this Port.
The Munteborg was built by Scheepswerf Bijlsma B.V. Lemmer and associated yards of the Conoship Group, Netherlands. Local agent for the vessel is Guthrie-Hubner, Inc.
