Addressing the Sherwin in particular, has anyone heard anything recent about its hull condition? Last shipping season the Sherwin's hull plating was pitted and corroded (reportedly from something in the water in the Duluth/Superior harbor) such that an immediate return to service was rejected. Any insider information or rumors as to repairs, or will Sherwin continue in its grain storage role in Chicago?
