St Lawrence Seaway sees project cargo increase

（www.cargofee.com）New broadcast：

The St. Lawrence Seaway, North America’s binational marine link between the Atlantic and the Great Lakes, has reported overall gains in project cargo in May due to an upturn in wind energy construction. Year-to-date cargo traffic from the opening of the navigation season on March 22 through May 31 totalled 8.27 million tonnes.

Port Milwaukee saw a 220 percent increase in project cargo volume according to Municipal Port director Adam Schlicht as overall tonnage via the Port’s commercial tenants rose 10 percent year-on-year. Ports of Indiana report a 7.2 percent increase in the period, including a “significant” project cargo shipment of rubber-tire gantry cranes bound for a CSX container yard in Illinois.

Approximately 143.5 million tonnes is moved across the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway system that extends 2,300 miles from Atlantic to the Great Lakes supporting US$35 billion in economic activity.
