Block was constructed as a self-unloading bulk carrier for Inland Steel Company. She was the only vessel built for Inland Steel under Title XI of the Merchant Marine Act of 1970. The Joseph L. Block was the third of four similar sister ships, the others being the Charles E. Wilson, H. Lee White, and American Mariner. The following ships were each slightly longer versions of the Charles E. Wilson, with the Block being 48′ longer than the Wilson and 24′ longer than the White. The Joseph L. Block and the American Mariner were the closest to being identical, with the main differences being that the Mariner‘s forecastle is raked forward by 2’, and that she lacks the larger guest accommodations of the Block. Her self-unloading equipment consists of a single hold belt leading to an aft-incline belt system to a 250′ deck-mounted boom.

Block – 2020-Present Owner: Indiana Harbor Steamship Company, Griffith, IN Operator: Central Marine Logistics, Griffith, IN [chartered to Cleveland-Cliffs] Flag: United States Home Port: Indiana Harbor, IN Her Story The Joseph L. Block was built in 1976 as a self-unloading bulk carrier by Bay Shipbuilding for Inland Steel. She was launched on February 26, 1976 at Sturgeon bay, Wisconsin, and christened on June 29, 1976. The Block sailed on her maiden voyage light for Escanaba, Michigan to load ore for Inland’s mill at Indiana Harbor, Indiana. This would be a common trade route for the Block up until the Escanaba ore dock’s closing in April 2017. The Block would prove to be the only Inland Steel freighter to have an aft pilothouse, and would also have the largest cargo capacity of the fleet. In 1998, Inland Steel was purchased by Dutch steelmaker Ispat International, taking over Inland Steel operations on July 15, 1998. Inland’s fleet was in turn sold to Indiana Harbor Steamship Co. to remain Jones Act-compliant. The vessels were operated by Central Marine Logistics, being chartered by Ispat until 2008 when Ispat was involved in a European steel manufacturer merger. The vessels were then chartered by Arcelor Mittal, the resulting firm of the merger. In 2020 Cleveland-Cliffs purchased the U.S. assets of Arcelor Mittal, and also took over the charter of the ships in the Central Marine Logistics fleet. Stack markings on the Block were changed to reflect this. Over the following seasons she began to see more variety in her trade routes, venturing outside her normal Lake Superior to southern Lake Michigan ore runs with varying stone runs and even trips to Lake Erie. She continues to be an active member of the Central Marine Logistics fleet. Compiled By Brendan Falkowski
