THUNDER BAY — The Port of Thunder Bay is in the spotlight as the Chamber of Marine Commerce highlights what it calls a consistent climb in overall performance along the Great Lakes-Seaway shipping corridor this year.
According to Tim Heney, CEO of the Thunder Bay Port Authority, grain shipments through the port were up 45 per cent at the end of July compared with a year ago. Potash exports through Thunder Bay are also strong through the first half of the shipping season — up 20 per cent from last year — as evidenced by the number of saltwater vessels in port."A lot of them are coming for potash, but grain as well. They're running at a fairly high level compared with the averages, and that's one of the highlights so far this season," Heney said.
"We have inbound fertilizer shipments coming before the end of the year, and we've already had a couple of shipments of pipe, and we're expecting a few more. So it's been a very strong year at Keefer as well. On a repeat basis, too," Heney said. "We have some longer-term contracts now. We're looking at this as a multi-year initiative, particularly with the pipe.
