The vessel departed Germany’s Port of Bremen in late March, carrying German-manufactured machinery destined for Duluth’s Clure Public Marine Terminal.

The machinery is headed to the Red River Valley, for sugar beet production, according to the port.

Jayson Hron, spokesperson for the Duluth Seaway Port Authority, said the ship delivered several large pieces of machinery; some pieces are nearly 20 feet wide and weigh 60,000 pounds.
