Despite the unpredictability, officials expect the St. Lawrence Seaway and Great Lakes to see stable growth during the 2022 shipping season, just like it did during a global pandemic.
The Baie Comeau, a self-unloading bulk freighter, passed through the Poe Lock in Sault Ste. Marie on Monday, May 16 en while route to Nanticoke, Ontario. CLEVELAND, Ohio — The supply-chain still has kinks, the coastal ports still have congestion and the Russian invasion of Ukraine is drastically changing global markets tied to the Midwest.
While tonnage varies each year, the shipping route averaged 38.17 million tons a year from 2015 to 2019, the five years before the pandemic. The St. Lawrence Seaway is already seeing more international vessels than last year, Middlebrook said. So far this year Canadian grain exports have been down, but U.S. exports have been up, he said. What’s being shipped now is leftovers from the last harvest in the fall.
Middlebrook said cost is important, but so is stability and predictability, particularly with high-value cargo. The Port of Cleveland said it has already seen more business because of the coastal port issues. COO Dave Gutheil said the Port had an extremely busy April and strong May so far. He said April tonnage numbers doubled the total from 2021, and containers have increased since a new vessel starting picking them up in September.
