The Ship Report, Tuesday, July 16, 2024

Who's on the river today, and a look at an upcoming interview series Today we'll look at daily ship traffic and where it's headed, and also a heads up that I'll be taking some vacation time for the next week and a half. While I'm gone the show will air as usual and you'll be hearing an extended interview I did with author John Kopp about his 2023 book, CG41332, about a USCG tragedy that happened on the Columbia River Bar in 1975. Ship Report radio shows and podcasts will continue to air as usual on KMUN, the Ship Report website (at shipreport.net), Facebook and on Apple and Spotify. Ship schedules and marine weather reports will return in Monday, July 29. If you'd like to follow ship traffic during that time you can find some vessel information on the Columbia River Bar Pilots and Columbia River Pilot websites, and of course in real time on vesselfinder and marinetraffic.  You'll find local marine weather forecasts at: https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS56.KPQR.html
