The Algoma Mariner is a lake freighter delivered to Algoma Central on May 31, 2011.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The Algoma Mariner is a Seawaymax vessel. She is a self-unloading bulk carrier built at the Chengxi Shipyard in China.
The vessel was christened in Port Colborne, on August 25, 2011, by Lisa Badawey, wife of Port Colborne's mayor Vance M. Badawey.[7] Port Colborne is to be the vessel's home port. Mayor Badawey delivered a speech.[8]
The vessel is equipped with modern environmental controls.[3] Her waste streams are "managed and treated". Her propeller shaft is "water lubricated", to reduce the risk of the shaft being a source of oil leakage. Her self-unloading system is equipped with dust suppression technology. Her crew accommodation is equipped with a full gymnasium, broadband internet, satellite TV and "comfortable day rooms".
According to Canadian Sailings the vessel is powered by 2 stroke engine, and cost $50 million CAD.[4]

Retrieved on 2012-01-05. “The Algoma Mariner’s MAN two-stroke, six-cylinder low-speed engine produces 9,600 horsepower yet is only half the size of most engines powering the Great Lakes fleet. By nature, low-speed engines lend themselves to direct coupling of the propeller, which helps contribute to the efficiency, reliability and low maintenance cost of the propulsion plant.”
