Dann Marine’s Topaz Coast had the dry bulk barge Montville on the wire heading for sea Tuesday evening after discharging sugar at the Yonkers refinery. This cargo appears to have come up from the Gulf coast rather than Florida and the tow was heading back there now. Dann Ocean’s Captain Dann ran light up to the plant ahead of time to assist with sailing the barge.

The 130-year-old Yonkers sugar refinery remains open but will close by the end of this year, with raw sugar cargos instead heading for Baltimore where modifications have been made to allow for 24-hour operation and increased storage. A new industrial occupant seems unlikely in Yonkers, which will mean an end to the working water front in that city, other than the Hudson River pilot station nearby.
