The Chamber of Marine Commerce reports that 3.46 million tons of cargo moved through the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway system during the month of August, bringing the year-to-date total to nearly 19.2 million tons shipped.<\/p>\n
While tonnage transported on the Seaway system is below the year-to-date total for 2021, total vessel transits remain stable for the same period.<\/p>\n
This shows that the Seaway is ready to respond to the opportunities between now and the end of the season, including Canadian grain shipments that could lead to a comeback this fall.<\/p>\n
“This year, U.S grains, which includes corn, soybeans and seeds is up by 29% and all signs point to a strong Canadian crop, particularly in Ontario. This could offset the early season slow-down that we’ve experienced.” said Terence Bowles, President and CEO of the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation.<\/p>\n
While Canadian grain is still down 26%, salt, petroleum products, petcoke and potash continue well ahead of 2021 levels. For the year, shipments of petroleum products are up 40% to more than 1.5 million tons, petcoke shipments have increased more than 31% to 1.15 million tons and potash shipments are up more than 267% at 756,000 tons. Year-to-year shipments of windmill equipment is also up.<\/p>\n
