The Federal Tiber bulk carrier leaves from the Milne port, carrying iron ore from Baffinland's Mary River project. The ore is the first shipment produced by the site, which has been the subject of controversy due to a request from Baffinland to ship ore through Baffin Bay 10 months of the year.
On August 8, Fednav's supramax bulker Federal Tiber (55,300 dwt, built 2013) left Milne port with the first shipment of Mary River iron ore, bound for Nordenham, Germany.
