Here in Thunder Bay most ships have to shift from Elevator to Elevator to get a full load. But there has been the odd occasion when a ship took a full load the same day. If she's ready to load at 8 AM when the grain handlers start - allowing for coffee and lunch breaks as well as the next shift change - the vessel has been loaded with 25,000 MT+ of Wheat by Midnight and on her way.
