The Metsaborg arrived Duluth early evening on Sunday, May 16, 2010 with the port’s first shipment of wind turbine parts. The ship was loaded in Denmark about three weeks ago and came directly to Duluth. Early Monday morning, employees from Lake Superior Warehousing Company began to discharge the cargo. First off were 48 containers, many loaded onto the weather deck of the ship. Gantry crane #1 is seen above pulling one of the containers off the deck. Crane operator Jimmy Widen is seen at the left, climbing up to his cab in gantry crane #2 to get it ready to join the work.
