The tanker, Algosea, opened the shipping season for the Port of Green Bay when it arrived at the U.S. Venture, Inc. - Fox River dock on April 2. The USCG Hollyhock escorted the tanker all the way down the bay of Green Bay. When the ship neared the mouth of the Fox River, the Great Lakes Towing tugs, Indiand and Texas, headed out to meet it. The tugs led the tanker up to the Fox River Dock, where they turned the ship around and took it stern-first the rest of the way up the river to the U.S. Venture dock. The dock is a new facility which, according to the Port of Green Bay website, is "dedicated to all aspects of the wholesale petroleum industry."
