The Interlake Steamship Company

Thank you, President @RealDonaldTrump 🇺🇸 For standing with America’s shipbuilders, mariners, and the Jones Act. Your support ensures American maritime dominance for generations to come.

In Cleveland, you might occasionally see cargo ships inching slowly along the Cuyahoga River. Now, see what things are like inside one of them. Go on board the Mark W. Barker, @InterlakeSSCo’s newest freighter, to experience this unique workplace. clevelandmagazine.com/we-travel-the-…

What's it like to get a 639-foot-long ship around the tight bends of the Cuyahoga River? “It’s challenging,” says captain Alex Weber. “Very crooked. Very windy.” 🚢 Go on board the Mark W. Barker, a new Great Lakes freighter ship, in our July cover story: clevelandmagazine.com/we-travel-the-…

The Great Lakes Maritime Task Force recognized the significant contributions Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow has made throughout her Congressional career protecting the Great Navigation System and supporting American jobs with investment in U.S.-flagged Great Lakes shipping.

It's an epic #FreighterFriday! Our 11 commercial vessels are fitting out at layup ports from Lake Superior to Lake Erie as the Soo Locks open today for the 2024-2025 season.

.@POTUS continues a long tradition of American presidents, including leaders Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama, by acknowledging the fundamental importance of the Jones Act to America's national security and economy. 🚢🇺🇸

The Mark W. Barker navigating the cuyahoga the other day. -the boat is backing out since there is no where to turn around -the captain of the ship does all of the navigating. No pilots needed -the ship doesn’t require any tug boats to make it down the river, just bow and stern thrusters

Happy #FreighterFriday from our 700-foot workhorse, the ATB Dorothy Ann-Pathfinder. This week she hit the milestone of 1 million tons of cargo so far this 2023 shipping season! ⚓️💪 🇺🇸 #greatlakes #greatcareers #mariners #tugbarge #buildingblocks #USflagfleet #shippingmatters
