Dann Marine’s Coral Coast came down the North River last Monday, passing Hoboken with a loaded cement transporter barge. Cement manufactured at the Ravenna, NY plant is brought south by barge to terminals in NY Harbor and sometimes continues up the Sound to distribution hubs in New England.

The day this photo was taken marked the spinoff of the North American operations of Holcim into a new company called Amrize which means the Ravenna plant, which has operated since 1962 under various trademarks including Lafarge and Holcim, is now under that new corporate umbrella.

A week later, Coral is currently heading back down the Hudson Wednesday afternoon with a new cargo loaded at Ravenna overnight.
