THUNDER BAY — The owners of the Thunder Bay shipyard have landed a contract that will result in the idled yard mobilized for the winter.
Hamilton-based Ontario Shipyards Inc. will use local labour to do repair work on the bulk carrier Federal Yoshino.
The ship, which sails under the flag of the Marshall Islands, was recently moved to the yard near the mouth of the Current River.
