“We’re very excited to see this new freighter coming into the Port,” said the Port of Green Bay Director, Dean Haen. “It is sure to draw a lot of attention from area ship watchers, this vessel is the design of the future for marine transportation.”
The Mark W. Barker was constructed at Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding in Sturgeon Bay, and this Sunday night it will be dropping off a load of road salt to the Port of Green Bay.
