Her Story
The Manitoulin was originally constructed in 1991 by Uljanik Brodogradiliste Shipyard in Pula, Croatia, as the tanker Trelsi.
In 2001, she was sold and renamed Euro Swan. She was sold once again in 2011 and renamed Lalandia Swan.
In March 2014, Rand Logistics purchased the Lalandia Swan through their Canadian subsidiary Lower Lakes Towing. She was taken to Chengxi Shipyards in Jiangyin, China, where her tanker hull was cut off just forward of her accommodations block, and a new self-unloading forebody was constructed and welded to the stern section of the tanker, creating a new self-unloading river class ship. The vessel was christened Manitoulin on September 28, 2015, and departed China soon after, arriving in mid-November. She entered the Seaway system for the first time on December 1, 2015.
The Manitoulin continues to be an active and busy member of Rand Logistics’ Lower Lakes Towing fleet, serving the iron ore, coal, stone, sand, grain, and salt trades.
