Great Lakes Seaway, encouraging news.
The newly published results for august show signs of improvement for an economic rebound and a welcome turnaround compared to last year.
The results for cargo transport on the great lakes seaway show definite signs of improvement.
Overall, we can see below, total cargo has increased by 20% for this year. A closer look reveals that iron ore has doubled compared to 2009. The same can be observed for general cargo, but on a smaller scale. A relation can be made with cargo shipments to the yearly arctic supply wich will be completed in the coming days.
Grain shipments seem to be lagging a bit, but prospects are good for a busy finale before the seaway closes. Let's hope for this trend to last.
