The Port of Oswego Authority (POA), offloaded $12 million in transformers and equipment from the BBC Texas cargo ship, Aug. 10-11, destined for delivery to Exelon Generation’s Nine Mile Point Unit 2 nuclear power plant. This photo shows the first of four transformers being offloaded. “Oswego County, with three nuclear power plants, is New York’s energy capital,“ said William Scriber, POA executive director. “This is just one example of how the Port both supports local industries and also provides good paying jobs. The offload and delivery of these transformers involved at least 30 longshoremen and more than a dozen transport employees who stayed at local hotels and patronized local restaurants. Although the ship is here for two days, the total project will take more than a week to complete.”
