Episode Synopsis

Interesting vessel alert for Tuesday morning: Containership gest tug escort on the river
The containership MSC Damla was supposed to head to Portland on Monday, but she had to remain at sea after she developed temporary steering issues as she was about to enter the river.
Experts on board fixed her steering issues, and the bar pilot got her safely back out to sea. Even though her steering's fine now, she'll have a tug escort on the river today.
Look for her passing Astoria around 7:30am on Tuesday, in Portland about about 1:30pm. Track her progress at marinetraffic or vesselfinder.com.
