LUDINGTON — The MV Prime returned to the Port of Ludington Sunday evening, docking at the Oxy Ludington plant dock to pick up another load of calcium chloride. The Prime was escorted into port by the tug Sarah Andrie, which also assisted it at the dock. Earlier in the day, the tug-barge Candace Elise/Robert F. Deegan also arrived in port for a pickup at Oxy.
