the system
hen moving cargo into or out
of North America’s heartland,
the Great Lakes St. Lawrence
Seaway System has provided an efficient,
safe and reliable route for 50 years. The
opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959
was a modern marvel of locks and
technology that opened the North America’s
heartland to the coasts of every continent.
Today, the Seaway System continues to
modernize to provide free-flowing delivery
of the world’s goods.
Expansion of the Suez Canal is creating
an increase in the east to west flow of cargo.
Ports are preparing for future opportunities
in container movement by upgrading
facilities.
Whether trading internationally or
interlake, the Seaway is a vital transportation
link to an extensive exchange of imports and
exports. Like a modern expressway—minus
the congestion of land-based expressways—
the System allows smooth, seamless
movement of waterborne cargo on a 2,340mile deepwater route, extending from the
Gulf of St. Lawrence to the western end of
Lake Superior.

Wind turbine components unload at the Port of
Duluth (top). International vessels at the Port of
Quebec (bottom).
The System is comprised of the two
sections: the St. Lawrence River and Seaway,
which includes 15 locks from Montreal to
the Welland Canal and the five Great Lakes
(Superior, Michigan, Huron, Ontario and
Erie). The connecting channels (the St.
Marys River, the Straits of Mackinac and the
St. Clair/Detroit River System) complete the
connections as one continuous System.
The Great Lakes as a whole are one of
the world’s greatest freshwater resources,
covering 95,170 square miles of water
surface, about 61,000 in the U.S. and
34,000 in Canada. The System’s 10,000-mile
coastline is known as North America’s
Fourth Seacoast, and its location in the
higher latitudes make the majority of its
ports actually closer in nautical miles to
European markets than East Coast or Gulf of
Mexico ports.
The System serves some 41 ports in
addition to smaller harbors and private dock
facilities, all of which serve as “off ramps” to
what is referred to as Hwy H2O. The base
economies of many of these ports—and
indeed the entire Midcontinent—were
defined by cost-effective access to raw

materials provided by the waterway. For
instance, without the capability to receive
large volumes of iron ore by water, it is
doubtful the Great Lakes region would have
evolved as it has into the dominant steelproducing region of North America.
With a combination of natural waterways
and manmade locks, the System has evolved
into a transportation corridor that greatly
impacts everyday life throughout the Midcontinent and the world.
Reducing carbon footprints and more.
The economies of scale available with the
System are helping businesses reduce their
carbon footprint and lessen their overall
impact on the environment. Using the
System to move cargo into North America’s
heartland reduces the carbon footprint of
every user, over those that deliver freight to
coastal ports and then have the tonnage
brought inland by land-based transportation.
All the while, the efficiencies provide
competitive pricing, scheduled transit times,
safe delivery, efficient border crossings and
flexible cargo sizes.
Shipping benefits include:
• Ships use only 10 to 20 percent of the
energy required by trucks, moving a metric
ton of freight 800 kilometers on four liters
of fuel.
• A single laker can carry as much cargo
as three 100-car unit trains or 870
truckloads.
• Great Lakes vessels produce 90 percent
fewer emissions than trucks and 70 percent
fewer than trains.
• A Great Lakes freighter travels 607
miles on one gallon of fuel on a per-ton-ofcargo basis. A truck travels 59 miles; a train,
just 202 miles.
• Waterborne shipping is considered the
most environmentally-friendly mode of
transportation for the earth’s ecosystem and
is used to carry three-fourths of the world’s
international trade.
• In 2030, marine will emit two percent
of its 1990 emissions while heavy trucks will
emit 40 percent and light trucks 17 percent
of their 1990 emissions.

the system
• Superior fuel efficiency translates into
fewer emissions.
Waterborne transportation is responsible
for delivering about three-quarters of the
world’s international trade. And with the
System offering an additional 50 percent
capacity, it delivers efficiencies to users while
reducing the need for the Canadian and U.S.
governments to build new roadways and rail
lines, with their attendant environmental
impacts.
With ships alleviating traffic congestion,
emitting only one-tenth the carbon impact of
trucks, minimizing noise pollution and being
dubbed the safest transportation mode,
there’s no question why the System is being
regularly noticed and implemented by
domestic and international users.
Professionals throughout the industry
take environmental stewardship seriously.
Several groups, formed out of the industry’s
respect for the environment, are working to
ensure that commercial shipping maintains
its green status. These groups include Green
Marine, Great Ships Initiative and a
partnership of researchers from some of the
Midwest’s most notable universities, Great

Valleyfield (bottom).
Lakes Maritime Research Institute.
In response to the presence of nonindigenous species in the Great Lakes, the
U.S. and Canada share federal requirements
that international vessels flush their ballast
tanks with saltwater at least 200 miles
offshore before entering the St. Lawrence
Seaway. Inspections are also helping
minimize the introduction of non-indigenous
species.
Unique among the world’s navigation
systems, the ships and ports of the Seaway
have an excellent safety record, while
keeping transportation costs competitive for
the industrial and agricultural heart of North
America.
Incentives bring in new business.
With the understanding that land-based
transportation is growing more and more
congested and that environmentally-minded
shippers are choosing waterborne
transportation, new incentive options are
being offered. Forecasts call for marine traffic
volumes to triple in the next 20 years as
global trade increases.

the system
structure provided a significant boost to
new business growth.
A New Business Incentive Program
targets carriers and shippers by allowing a
20 percent discount on cargo tolls over
three years for commodity/origin/destination
combinations approved by the St. Lawrence
Seaway Management Corporation as new
business. All containerized cargo
movements are eligible for the discount
through 2012.
A Volume Rebate Incentive Program
offers shippers a 10 percent reduction on
cargo tolls applicable to incremental
volumes that meet the criteria.
To encourage smaller cargo vessels and
shipments to enter the System, the Welland
Canal lockage fees have been restructured
from fixed charges to proportional charges
determined by a vessel’s GRT, benefitting
small- and medium-sized vessels. Larger
vessels are benefitting from a cap placed on
the maximum charged per vessel.
In 2008, nearly 145 million tons of
cargo moved on the Seaway System,
including both domestic and U.S.-Canadian
trade within the Lakes and international

import-export trade via the Seaway. More
than 2.4 billion tons of cargo, estimated at a
value in excess of $350 billion, have moved
to and from the U.S., Canada and nearly 50
other nations since the Seaway opened in
1959. This traffic fuels an economic engine,
annually generating more than $4.3 billion
in personal income, $3.4 billion in
transportation-related revenue and $1.3
billion in federal, state and local taxes.
According to the bi-national Great Lakes
St. Lawrence Seaway Study, the System
offers shippers significant savings, estimated
at $2.7 billion annually. These savings are
especially felt in strategic sectors such as

coal, which have long been shipped
throughout the System. From turbine
components to alumina, a surge in both
international and short sea shipping are
important components of the Seaway’s multimodal transportation network.
Building on its 400-year heritage as an
efficient transportation route to the
Midcontinent, the Seaway System is now the
look of the future offering new opportunities
for economic growth and environmental
responsibility in the 21st century.
Expanding international relationships.
The Seaway entities and port representatives
are actively building partnerships with
potential users, promoting the Great Lakes St.
Lawrence Seaway System abroad and
developing relationships.
Each year, a group representing the
Seaway and individuals ports and terminal
operators travel abroad on trade missions. In
2008, the group reintroduced the Seaway to
Italy and Turkey. In Genoa, Italy, a
Memorandum of Cooperation was signed
between the port partners and the Ligurian
Ports of Northern Italy. The document aims
to establish a cooperative partnership

between U.S. and Canadian ports in the
System and the Ligurian Ports of Genoa,
La Spezia and Savona.
Through other trade mission, and hosting
international guests, the Seaway is
maintaining similar agreements with:
• The Seaports of Neidersachsen in
Oldenburg, Germany
• The Ministry of Communications Water
Transport Department (Beijing), People’s
Republic of China
• Shanghai Municipal Port
Administration Bureau, People’s Republic of
China
Efforts to educate foreign ports and
shippers on the Seaway’s benefits involved
tracking a 20-foot container as it traveled
from Europe to North America and through
the System in 2006. Touting large Hwy
H2O-themed murals on both sides of the
box, the container served as an example of
increases in container traffic within an
industry well known for bulk deliveries.
The Seaway has conducted international
trade missions since 1985, including two
previous missions to Italy in 1995 and 1986
and one to Turkey in 2000.
In addition to traveling, Hwy H2O has
two international representatives on staff:
Alan Taylor in Europe and Naran Andreyev
in China. Both serve as “local” experts in their
countries regarding the capabilities on the
System and the ease of making the right
contacts. The relationships also help shippers
communicate with representatives in the
System regarding establishing backhaul cargo
for incoming deliveries. I

Employing the latest technology
Automation, lock construction improve efficiencies
lthough geography created the natural highway we use for
transit, technology is key to making the Great Lakes St.
Lawrence Seaway System as efficient as it has become. The U.S.
and Canadian Seaway agencies that operate the System share a
commitment to provide greater convenience and improved access for users
and potential users of the System.
At the Welland Canal, Lock 7 has been referred to as the Lock of the
Future. In the 2008 shipping season, the future merged with today as the
fully-automated lock operated as a test for what is planned for other locks
along the Seaway. A full season of testing has been successfully completed
with multiple technologies at the deep lock.
Two units of a prototype piece of technology, the MoorMaster 200LS
hands-free vacuum pad mooring system, is designed to attach to the side of
a vessel with a vacuum pad once it has stopped and is alongside the wall.
The vacuum pads hold the vessel securely during the lock operation without the need for mooring wires. Testing and assessing the units have lasted
a full season. The equipment is allowing for a safer and more efficient
mooring process.
The vessel spotting system is also in use at Lock 7, located at each end
of the lock. The technology consists of a laser ranging device that uses eye
safe laser ranging technology to recognize the vessel’s hull and estimate its

Moving into a new era
After 50 years the Seaway remains positioned for the future
W
hile the U.S. and Canadian Seaway are jointly celebrating the 50th
anniversary of opening the St. Lawrence Seaway to international
traffic, the two nations are also moving the reliable, environmentallyfriendly system into its next era. While bulk and breakbulk cargo are staple cargoes
traveling throughout the System, terminal operators, ports and shippers are
preparing for an influx in container traffic.
Feeder lines are being established. Ports are developing container terminals,
including those ports on the outer edges of the System—Melford International
Terminal, Halifax and Prince Rupert—are solidifying expansions, equipment and
contacts necessary to receive a growing number of the largest container ships. The
system being established involves the eastern-most ports receiving Panamax and
super-Panamax sized ocean vessels, offloading containers and then distributing
them to the hinterland via smaller vessels, railways and roadways. The feeder services are establishing regular routes between ports.
The investments being made are resulting from an increase in global trade and
the fact that 90 percent of non-bulk cargo worldwide moves by containers stacked
on transport ships. Containers are carrying nearly every type of products, including
perishable foods and manufactured goods. Container shipment arriving in North
America is increasing annually and estimates show that by 2015, more than 600
million containers will arrive on the continent each year. Many believe that the
ongoing expansion of the Suez Canal is opening North America’s east coast to a
level of container shipping not seen before.
Through five decades, more than 2.3 billion tons of freight imports and exports
worth an estimated $350 billion have moved through the locks. Throughout this
timeframe, the Seaway has been maintained a lock availability of 99 percent. And to
maintain that reliability and modern edge, the Seaway entities are investing millions
of dollars into the modernization of the locks and equipment that keep the System
operating smoothly. I

position in the lock. The vessel’s foremost portion of the hull is interpreted and its position
is updated dynamically and displayed on an
LED panel located on the tie-up side of the
lock as the vessel progresses to its final mooring position. In addition, automated audible
spotting is available to the master/pilot on
Channel 17 for upbound transit and 66A for
downbound transit.
The Lock of the Future is the lock of today,
and with the successful testing, more locks will
be receiving these upgrades to bring the system
forward in its use of the latest technology.
Construction of a new lock has been
approved at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, which,
when completed, will be the System’s most
modern lock, moving ships from Lake Superior
to Lake Huron. The new lock, expected to be
the size of its sister lock, the Poe, will replace
two smaller locks that have become outdated.
Also on the U.S. side, a 10-year, $165
million Asset Renewal Program & Capital
Investment Plan will optimize the U.S. portion
of the System through 50 projects, including
the system
improvements to the two U.S. locks, maintenance dredging and upgrades to facilities.
Considerable investment was also made
in the Seaway’s website at www.greatlakesseaway.com, which was designed to be an
interactive, primary access portal for services and information. In addition to such
basic information as System regulations
and forms, the site features links to all
ports, as well as all other organizations and
agencies involved with the Great Lakes St.
Lawrence Seaway System.
Technological benefits are also apparent at the ports, where new types of lifting
equipment and container terminals are
being developed. The Seaway is continually being enhanced to bring an even broader array of service providers into a single
point of access, and to build more capability for door-to-door pricing of freight movement. This offers the shipper one price
quote for multimodal movements, including the landside transportation costs as
well as the Lakes and ocean legs. I

* Transshipments are cargoes destined for ISG’s Cleveland Works. The mill is at the end of the navigable section of the Cuyahoga River. The narrow, twisting river cannot accommodate the largest
vessels in the fleet, so iron ore is first unloaded at Cleveland Bulk Terminal on the lakefront and then reloaded into smaller vessels for final delivery to ISG.

Perfecting cargo movement
Loading at Quebec (right) and unloading at
Zug Island, Detroit (below).
here’s a make-it-work mindset along
the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway
System. After more than 50 years of
having the Seaway System open to
international traffic, stevedores who operate
terminals from port to port are well versed at
moving cargo—familiar loads and those
requiring innovative strategies.
Cargo moving along the waterborne
freeway involves three general trade
communities: inter-lake domestic trades
contained within the Great Lakes; cargo
transiting the System and Great Lakes from
Eastern Canada; and traffic moving on the
Seaway as overseas import/export trade by
ocean-going vessels.
Ocean-going vessels primarily import
finished steel products and export grain on
break bulk ships. Domestic Canadian and
U.S.-flag fleets service the other two market
segments primarily with self-unloading bulk
ships. Their major cargoes are iron ore,
limestone, coal and grain.
In recent years, the U.S.-flag fleet has
been moving about 160 million tons annually
T
17
(primarily in the upper four Lakes), the
Canadian-flag fleet 60 million tons (primarily
via the Seaway and Lakes) and ocean-going
vessels 20 million tons (via the Seaway and
Lakes).
An area of growth involves moving heavylift and project cargoes. Used refineries are
being dismantled and moved across the
Atlantic. Outsized windmill components are
being moved via Lake Superior Warehousing
Terminal at Duluth, Federal Marine Terminal
in Milwaukee, and the ports of Oswego,
Ogdensburg, Toronto and Windsor have all
handled multiple shipments in this fast
growing industry.
Toledo’s Midwest International Terminal
has become the focal point for oil and gas
pipe imports. Duluth and Thunder Bay are
vital ports handling the influx of materials
essential in the tar sands billion dollar
projects. Importers are establishing routes
from Asia to Halifax through the Suez Canal,
which is setting the stage for feeder services
to bring goods to markets farther inland.
International shippers such as BBC,
commodities
Cargo movement at Valleyfield (below) and
Toledo (bottom).
Beluga, Fednav, Polish Steamship, Jumbo,
Canfornav and Wagenborg regularly traverse
the System. International tonnage represents an
annual average of about 20 percent of the
Seaway’s cargo. The number of international
sailings is expected to increase with U.S. steel
mills unable to meet national demand and
foreign steel prices low, windmill components
continuing to be in demand and the refineries
and grain serving as productive backhaul. With
continued growth in mind, several international
shippers are building Lakes-fitted vessels.
Interlake commerce on the Great Lakes
consists of some 200 million tons a year.
Some of the larger movements within the
Lakes are:
• Iron ore, in the form of taconite pellets,
moving from the Minnesota Iron Range and
Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to steel mills in
Chicago, northern Indiana, Detroit and
Cleveland.
• Low-sulphur coal mined in the western
U.S., railed to Great Lakes loading ports and
moved on water to electrical generating
stations on the Great Lakes, and coal mined

in the eastern U.S. to steel mills, generating
stations and other industries.
• Stone moved from quarries to steel
mills and taconite plants for flux, and to all
major markets for construction.
For the U.S. and Canadian farmers of the
Great Plains, the Seaway has provided an
economic outlet to help market wheat, corn,
soybeans, oilseeds and other agriproducts to
the world.
A pending three-inch increase of
allowable draft in the System to 26 feet,
9 inches, could enable vessels to carry up
to 300 tons of additional cargo, assisting
the industry with greater efficiency and
cost controls.
Crossing transportation modes. The
Seaway is an integral part of the larger North
American multi-modal transportation system.
Seamless movement of goods and
commodities flow from ship to rail and truck,
and from rail and truck to ship in wellsynchronized trade patterns. It is no
coincidence that the major rail and highway
hubs of the Midcontinent—such as Chicago,
Duluth, Toronto, Hamilton, Detroit and
Toledo—are major Great Lakes St. Lawrence
Seaway ports as well.
Some of the most successful Great Lakes
St. Lawrence Seaway trades rely on multimodal connections, such as low-sulphur coal
railed to Great Lakes loading ports from
Wyoming and Montana for shipment by selfunloading vessels throughout the Lakes, and
grain railed from the Canadian prairie
provinces to Thunder Bay for direct export by
ocean freighters. More than 40 provincial and
interstate highways and nearly 30 rail lines link
the ports of the System with consumers,
products and industries all over North America.
Reviewing trade patterns. Trade
patterns are the heart of maritime shipping,
providing the System’s stability. Prevalent
trade patterns of the Great Lakes St.
Lawrence Seaway System include:
• Upbound (westward) movements of
general cargo, including semi-finished steel in
the form of slabs, coils, beams and other
products, from overseas producers.
• Upbound movement of iron ore from
mines in eastern Canada.
• Downbound (eastward) shipments of
export grain by Canadian bulkers to
transshipment points on the lower St.
Lawrence, and by ocean vessels for direct
export overseas.
The Seaway also handles project cargoes,
containers, forest products, petroleum
products, chemicals, edible oils, coal, salt,
cement, fertilizers, ores, nonferrous metals
and other bulk materials.
Moving massive coal quantities. Since
19
commodities
the earliest days of bulk cargo movement on
the Great Lakes, coal has been a mainstay
commodity. Burgeoning demand for
electricity and a healthy rebound of the
North American steel industry makes it as
strong a component of the System’s cargo
profile as it has ever been.
The Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway
handles both thermal coal, for generating
electrical power, and metallurgical coal for
steelmaking.
Coal shipments within the Lakes have
averaged more than 40 million net tons in
recent years, about half of which is
movement of western coal to power
generating stations on the Great Lakes. This
coal is mined in the Powder River Basin of
Wyoming and Montana, transported on unit
trains to loading docks on Lake Superior and
Lake Michigan, and delivered by Great Lakes
bulk carriers to power plants throughout the
Lakes that use the low sulphur product to
help meet emission requirements.
Major loading facilities for western coal
are located at Superior, Wisconsin; Thunder
Bay, Ontario and Chicago, Illinois.
Salty calls at the Port of Oswego.
The other half of the Great Lakes coal
tonnage originates from Appalachian mines
and is railed to Lake Erie ports in Ohio for
water transportation to generating stations
and steel mills, primarily in Canada. These
ports include Toledo, Ashtabula and
Conneaut. About four million tons of coal a
year transits the Welland Canal section of
the Seaway.
Pressure on coal-fired generating stations
worldwide to reduce emissions has increased
the export of low sulphur, western coal to
transatlantic markets via the Seaway. Pilot
projects have involved transport of coal by
Great Lakes bulk carrier to the deeper waters
of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, where multiple
shiploads are transshipped onto Panamax-size
ocean vessels for shipment to overseas
customers.
Transporting steel in multiple forms.
Of the general cargo handled in the System,
semi-finished steel imports are the most
prominent, and a key component of one of
the Seaway’s most important trade patterns.

backhaul and an economic export route for
North American agriproducts.
Seaway-borne steel includes slabs, coils,
rods, billets and structural steel, among other
products, and originates from such major
steel-producing countries as Belgium, Russia,
Italy, Ukraine, Germany, Spain and Brazil.
Steel imports on the Seaway have totaled
between 3 and 4 million metric tons
annually in recent years.
Major steel-handling ports in the System
include Burns Harbor, Cleveland, Chicago,
Milwaukee, Toledo and Detroit in the U.S.
and Hamilton, Toronto, Windsor and
Oshawa in Canada. Many Great Lakes St.
Lawrence Seaway ports offer stevedoring
services specializing in steel handling, with
highly trained workforces and purpose-built
storage and distribution facilities.
Getting steel started with iron ore. By
volume, iron ore is the largest single
commodity transported in the Great Lakes
St. Lawrence Seaway System, both in the
U.S. and Canadian interlake domestic trades
and on the Seaway itself.
Iron ore, in the form of taconite pellets,
moves in two primary directions: from the
Iron Range of Minnesota and northern
Michigan downbound to major steelmaking
centers in Northwest Indiana, Detroit,
Cleveland, Chicago and Hamilton, and from
Labrador in eastern Canada upbound to

Essar Minnesota Steel and Essar Steel
Algoma are planning major expansions at the
head of the Lakes. By the end of the 2009
shipping season, the company will have
increased output by one-fourth, to four million
metric tons, at the Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
facility. A new $1.6 billion mine-based steel
plant is being constructed in Minnesota in the
Mesabi range, which itself contains 1.4 billion
metric tons of iron ore resources.
Much upbound Canadian iron ore, which
has totaled about 12 million metric tons
annually in recent years, is moved by the
same Canadian bulk carriers that transport
grain to transshipment elevators on the lower
St. Lawrence Seaway.
The much greater interlake movement of
iron ore has averaged 61 million net tons
over the past five years, three-quarters of
which is moved by the U.S.-flag fleet on the
Great Lakes.
From farm fields to ships. One of the
primary goals of Canada and the United
States in building the St. Lawrence Seaway
was to provide an efficient deep-draft route to
export agricultural commodities produced in
the North American heartland. This
movement remains a key element of the
Seaway’s cargo profile.
Much Seaway-borne grain from the prairie
states and provinces is loaded at the head of
the Lakes, either the port of Duluth/Superior
in the U.S. or Thunder Bay in Canada. Other
major grain loading elevators are located in
Toledo, Milwaukee and Goderich, Ontario.
Grain is exported two ways on the
Seaway: either by direct shipment overseas on
ocean-going vessels or by movement on
Canadian-flag bulk carriers to elevators on
the lower St. Lawrence for transshipment to
world markets.
This highly efficient transshipment route
utilizes facilities at Montreal, Quebec, TroisRivieres, Baie Comeau and Port Cartier to
store grain and load out on larger ocean bulk
carriers up to Panamax size.
Several elevators in the System offer graincleaning capabilities, an added value to the
world market.
The highest volume agricultural product
handled on the System is spring wheat,
which has comprised about two-thirds of the
9-10 million metric tons the System has been
handling in recent years. Canadian producers
have had particular success with durum
wheat exports, popular in Mediterranean,
Middle Eastern and African markets.
Other Seaway-borne agriproducts include
soybeans, corn, barley, flaxseed and canola.
Growth is being eyed worldwide in the use of
grains for production of bio-fuels, such as
ethanol from corn, and bio-diesel fuel. I

Bécancour
The Port of Bécancour, Quebec is a freshwater port located on the south shore of the
St. Lawrence River, halfway between Montreal
and Quebec City. It operates year ‘round and
can receive ships requiring a draft of 35 feet or
10.67 meters. Bécancour has the following
facilities available:
• A liquid bulk terminal located less than a
kilometer from the port facilities and linked to
quay B-1 by a network of pipes designed to
transfer liquid cargo directly from the ships to
the tanks.
• A railway line linking the port facilities to
the CN railway network.
• A 61-hectare (151-acre) area for handling
and storing goods, including 14 hectares (35
acres) that are paved, lighted and located near
the berths.
• Two pneumatic ship unloaders owned by
Aluminerie de Bécancour Inc.
• A gate-house to control access to the port
and a truck weighing system.
The port’s services include: tugs, pilotage,
marine traffic regulating system, stevedoring,
a marine agency, maintenance, environmental
service and clean-up and customs.
Buffalo
The Port of Buffalo, New York is located
on the eastern end of Lake Erie and has been a
key U.S. Great Lakes port from the first days
of maritime trade on the Lakes.
Waterborne commerce at the port is
diverse. The focal point of Buffalo’s port operations over the past decade has been Gateway
Metroport, located in Lackawanna just south
of the city of Buffalo.
Gateway Metroport has established a cargo
profile of primarily dry bulk commodities,
including road salt for Morton Salt, North
American Salt, American Rock Salt and limestone used by New York State Electric & Gas
Company for scrubbers on emission control
equipment. The port also regularly handles
shipments of coal and coke.
Gateway has also handled a good deal of
heavy-lift project cargo in recent years, including machinery for Ford Motor Company’s
Woodlawn Stamping Plant and Outokumpu
American Brass.
Port facilities at Buffalo include 4,000 lineal
feet of dock space, docks and channels
dredged to Seaway depth and 20 acres of bulk
storage space plus a 10-acre paved area for
open storage. Completed by Gateway in 1990

Burns Harbor/
Portage-Port of Indiana
The Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor/Portage
is one of the newest ports in the Great Lakes/
St. Lawrence Seaway system, established in
1969.
Located at Portage, Indiana, on the south
shore of Lake Michigan, the port is 30 land
miles and 18 nautical miles from Chicago and
offers access to world trade routes from the
Great Lakes via the St. Lawrence Seaway and
the inland waterway.
Indiana is the leading steel producing state
in the U.S. and most of the state’s integrated
mills are concentrated in its northwest corner
between East Chicago and Portage. Burns is
flanked by two major mills and within 20
miles are three more. Port tenants include several other steel-related operations, such as the
Beta Steel mini-mill, steel processors Feralloy,
Indiana Pickling and Steel Warehouse of
Indiana.
Federal Marine Terminals Inc. (FMT), the
stevedoring division of the Montreal-based
Fednav Group, is the port’s general cargo
stevedore. FMT, working in a joint venture
with the Homewood, Illinois firm ADS
Logistics, has made Burns one of the most
sophisticated steel and general cargo handling
ports in the Great Lakes.
Lakes & Rivers Transfer, a long-time operator, specializes in bulk cargo at the port, as
does port tenant Global Stone, which handles
a large volume of limestone. Cargill operates a
grain elevator at the port.
Another inbound agriculturally-oriented
commodity, liquid fertilizer, continues to hold
its own in the port’s cargo profile. Shipments
come via tank barges shipped up the inland
river system, through Chicago and across the
southern tip of Lake Michigan to tank farms
at Burns.
Burns is operated by the Ports of Indiana, a
state agency that also oversees two Ohio River
ports in Mount Vernon and Jeffersonville.
Chicago
Public port facilities in Chicago are
operated in the Lake Calumet harbor by the
Illinois International Port District. Given the
prominence of Chicago as one of the world’s
leading centers of trade and commerce, its
port has historically seen a broad cargo base.

and other commodities all cross the docks of
the 14 public and private marine terminals
that comprise the Port of Chicago.
General cargo handlers include North
America Stevedoring, Reserve Marine
Terminals and Emesco Marine Terminal.
Another relatively new cargo handling
operation on the Calumet River is the Midwest
Marine Terminal, situated at the former Cargill
grain elevator. The 60-acre site includes over
40 acres of open storage area and eight acres
under roof in the former grain storage
structure. Nidera, Inc., an international
agribusiness firm specializing in edible oils and
grain, operates a grain elevator at the port.
In the area of global trade, four new
Foreign Trade Subzone applications are in
process.
The Port District has also committed
additional resources to helping build the
newly revitalized passenger cruise industry in
the Great Lakes. Over the past three years,
Chicago has been a key destination and
embarkation port for at least two foreign-flag
passenger liners, and two other U.S.-flag
passenger vessels.
Cleveland
Cleveland is one of the Great Lakes’ busiest
cargo ports, handling 12 million to 16 million
metric tons annually of both international and
interlake cargoes. In addition to its role as a
major cargo handler, Cleveland is home to a
number of Great Lakes fleet offices and to the
Lake Carriers’ Association, which represents
the U.S.-flag vessel operators on the Great
Lakes.
Public port facilities in Cleveland are
managed by the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County
Port Authority, an agency which is also heavily
involved in providing financing for community
development projects throughout the region.
Steel is the dominant cargo in the port’s
international trade, usually accounting for 90

Duluth-Superior
The “Twin Ports” of Duluth-Superior
combine to represent the largest volume port
in the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway system
and the 18th largest port in North America by
tonnage, according to statistics compiled by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Located at the head of the Great Lakes,
Duluth-Superior functions primarily as a
loading port for iron ore mined and processed
into taconite on northern Minnesota’s Missabe
Range, for coal railed from mines in the
Powder River Basin of Wyoming and Montana,
and for grain produced in Minnesota, North
and South Dakota.
27
Total tonnage shipped through DuluthSuperior reaches more than 40 million metric
tons a year, comprised roughly of 40 percent
iron ore, 40 percent coal and 10 percent grain.
The port also handles general cargo shipments
through the Duluth Seaway Port Authorityowned Clure Marine Terminal operated by
Lake Superior Warehousing (LSW). LSW has
established a reputation worldwide for
handling high-wide and heavy-lift cargoes,
such as equipment for tar sands removal and,
most recently, wind energy components.
After unloading, salties will typically shift
to Duluth-Superior grain elevators for
outbound cargoes. Shipments originate from
six grain elevators in the harbor with 55
million bushels of licensed grain silo capacity.
Ore docks at the port, Canadian National’s
Duluth Missabe & Iron Range Railroad dock
on the Duluth side and the Burlington
Northern/Santa Fe dock in Superior, make the
port the largest ore-handling port in the U.S.
with throughput of about 16 million tons
annually.
Coal is taking an increasingly prominent
position in the port’s cargo profile. Low
sulphur coal shipped by unit train from mines
in Powder River Basin to the Midwest Energy
Resources Co. (MERC) loading facility in
Superior has been a popular commodity for
electric utilities faced with stricter parameters
for emissions.
Erie
The Port of Erie is located on the southeast
shore of Lake Erie in a natural bay sheltered
by Presque Isle.
The port is administered by the ErieWestern Pennsylvania Port Authority and
serves a binational, industrially-oriented
market of some 85 million people within a
500 mile radius.
Erie’s general cargo handling facility, the
Mountfort Terminal, has two warehouse
structures of 50,000 and 35,000 square feet,
respectively. There are two crawler cranes
rated at 220 and 160 tons, respectively. Each
is equipped with 5 to 20 cubic yard buckets,
magnets, grabs and lifting gear.
The terminal’s stiffleg crane is rated at 300
tons and is the largest on the Great Lakes. It is
capable of lifting 300 tons at 75 feet from the
centerline and has been useful for some
ambitious heavy-lift cargoes such as locally-

1,000-foot lakers. The shipyard, actually
constructed to build 1,000-footers, is currently
operated by Erie Shipbuilding, LLC and covers
44 acres, has 200,000 square feet in three
buildings and six berthing docks.
Green Bay
The Port of Green Bay has historically been
an important resource for the concentration of
heavy industry in Wisconsin’s Fox River
Valley.
Inbound coal and limestone are the port’s
two most prominent bulk cargoes. Together
they comprise about two-thirds of the port’s
total traffic and are used extensively by paper
and forest product manufacturers. Warehouse
operations along the lower Fox River—
serviced today mostly by truck and rail—are
primarily oriented to paper and paper
products.
Maritime commerce at the port, consisting
almost entirely of bulk movements, involves
about 2.5 million tons of cargo a year.
Terminals located on the adjacent Fox River
include 14 docks capable of handling dry bulk
commodities such as coal, cement, limestone,
salt and potash as well as four firms handling
bulk liquids including tallow, petroleum
products and asphalt. Two general cargo
docks can handle woodpulp, machinery,
bagged agricultural commodities and forest
products.

the Toledo area, including back-up, is more
than 55 million bushels.
Iron ore in the form of taconite pellets is
shipped to Toledo’s Torco Dock for
transshipment by rail to steel mills in Ohio
and Kentucky. Toledo’s coal movement goes
the opposite direction; coal mined in the
Appalachian region is railed to Toledo’s CSX
transportation docks and is then transferred
onto vessels for shipment to industries and
public utilities scattered throughout the Great
Lakes region and overseas.
The port’s general cargo facilities, operated
by Midwest Terminals of Toledo International
and by The Kuhlman Corp., handle a wide
variety of bulk and general cargo that accounts
for the remainder of the ports traffic. General
cargo shipments include imported steel, aluminum and zinc as well as project cargos,
forest products, aggregates and agricultural
products.
The main general cargo terminal offers
almost a mile of dock space near the mouth of
the Maumee River, has more than 670,000
square feet of covered storage space and is
served by heavy-lift gantry cranes that can
handle loads in excess of 140 tons. The facility’s entire 150 acres is designated as a Foreign
Trade Zone.
The port authority also owns Toledo Shipyard, which is operated by Ironhead Marine
Inc. Ironhead provides full-service marine
maintenance and repairs, construction, conversion, industrial fabrication and repowering,
with two dry docks for vessels and barges up
to 800 feet long.
Toronto
Serving Canada’s largest retail market,
where one quarter of Canada’s population
lives within a 100-mile radius of Toronto, the
Port of Toronto has evolved into one of the
Great Lakes’ most diverse cargo handling
centers, with shipments ranging from inbound
raw sugar, containers and steel to outbound
forest products and project cargoes.
The Toronto Port Authority’s 40-acre
terminal operations include seven berths
dredged to Seaway depth, a 150,000-squarefoot indoor storage facility, a container
distribution center with 100,000 square feet
of heated storage, inside rail loading dock,
inside truck docks and many container bays.
The container yard includes container

handling equipment and electrical plugs for
reefers. The port also features an International
Marine passenger terminal for cruise ships and
tour boats. It has complete customs and immigration services and passenger amenities.
Terminal operations are handled by
Logistec Stevedoring Inc., which has many
years of experience in handling all types of
cargoes.
Trois-Riviéres
Situated halfway between Montreal and
Quebec City, the Port of Trois-Rivières on the
north shore of the St. Lawrence River has been
a commercial port for more than 400 years.
The paper and forest products industry
that has anchored the Trois-Rivières economy
for the better part of the last century is still a
major user of the port. A number of area
companies load paper, wood pulp and related
products at the port for overseas export,
primarily to Europe. Others, such as Kruger,
which serves the North American market and
ships finished product by truck and rail, use
the port to import raw materials such as clay.
General cargo is handled by Logistec
Stevedoring, which is also involved, in
collaboration with McKeil Marine, in
transporting aluminium parts, produced by
Alouette in Sept-Iles, to Trois-Rivières to be
stored at the port and delivered by trucks and
freight wagons.
Dry and liquid bulk tonnage, handled by
Somavrac Inc., is led by inbound shipments of
alumina from Australia, calcined petroleum
coke and coal tar bound for the Aluminerie
Alcoa Inc. aluminum smelter at Deschambault,
about 25 miles from the port and other
Quebec and Ontario producers. Alcoa owns a
terminal specifically for storing these
commodities.
In addition to a 50,000-metric-ton storage
tank, a section of the port’s grain elevator has
been modified for storing and handling
alumina. Trois-Rivières has an average
throughput of alumina and pet coke of
500,000 metric tons a year.
To handle coal tar, Fonbrai Inc., a division
of Somavrac, operates a tar liquefaction plant
on port property that receives solid product by
vessel, liquefies it to the specifications of the
aluminum smelters and distributes it by truck
and rail. Other bulk commodities handled by
the port include inbound road salt, cement,

Valleyfield
The Port of Valleyfield is located in the
City of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, the industrial
hub of southwestern Quebec. With its strategic
geographic position, near the Ontario and U.S.
borders, the port provides direct access to
North America’s most important markets.
With only 70 kilometers separating it from
downtown Montreal, Quebec’s main market,
the port is not only a gateway to and from the
Great Lakes but it also serves as a satellite port
for the Montreal market. The port is a wellknown international commercial destination,
catering to vessels from around the globe.
With road links to Highways 20/401
Toronto-Montreal/Quebec, 30 and 40, with
rail links and line-haul rates available from
three major rail providers CSXT, CN and CP,
the port is well suited for intermodal transport.
The port offers more than 1,000 linear
meters of berthage, eight docks (tugs not

PORTS
Valleyfield
Windsor
Windsor
The Port of Windsor, Ontario, directly
across the Detroit River from Detroit,
Michigan, is Canada’s third largest Canadian
Great Lakes port by volume, handling up to
six million metric tons a year. The Windsor
Port Authority oversees some 13 miles of river
frontage encompassing marine terminals, parkland and even residential neighborhoods. The
industrial/marine facilities are concentrated in
the western portion of the port.
Cargoes moved through Windsor include
aggregates, salt, grain, fluorspar, lumber, steel,
petroleum, vehicles and heavy lift equipment.
All 14 terminals are either leased to or owned
by private operators. There is more than
16,000 feet of berthing space, 250 acres of
open storage and 250,000 square feet of
covered storage space.
Steel is Windsor’s primary non-bulk cargo.
General cargo firm Morterm handles steel in
the form of beams, rail, rods and billets, as
well as project cargoes and other commodities.
Windsor’s Sterling Marine Fuels functions
as both a vessel fueling station and liquid bulk
storage facility. Owned by McAsphalt
Industries, Sterling is one of the largest independent liquid bulk storage facilities on the
Great Lakes with a storage capacity of over one
million barrels. It supplies fuel and lubricants
to 800 vessels each year.
A mainstay cargo for Windsor is aggregates, primarily sand and crushed stone used
in asphalt and concrete. The port is a key
transshipment point for stone products delivered in bulk by Great Lakes self-unloaders for
distribution throughout southwestern Ontario.
Windsor’s second most voluminous dry bulk
cargo is the one to two million tons of salt
shipped annually from Canadian Salt
Company’s Ojibway Mine.
Grain produced in southern Ontario is
moved by ADM through the Windsor Grain
Terminal. The terminal handles a wide variety
of agricultural products, both outbound from
southern Ontario producers and inbound for
processing and distribution. It also handles
meal from the nearby ADM-Agri Industries
plant, the largest vegetable oil plant of its kind
in Canada.
